What are the artistic stories?

1, Qi Baishi's whimsy, the frog is ten miles away from the mountain spring.

195 1 In the summer of, Mr. Lao She visited Qi Baishi's house. Lao She picked up a book from her desk, casually turned to a poem "Walking on the Moon by the Stream" looked up by a poet in Qing Dynasty, and specially chose a sentence from the poem "Frogs from a mountain spring ten miles away", asking Qi Baishi to express this theme with pictures. This is indeed a game between friends and a "secret contest" between great artists.

Qi Baishi after several days of serious thinking, according to the contents of Lao She's letter to Qi Baishi (a frog croakes ten miles out of a mountain spring, a tadpole fights four or five times, swaying with the water, but a frog croakes without a frog. ) inspired by the word "out of the mountain spring", I wrote an article about "spring". With decades of artistic accomplishment and insight into art, after careful consideration, Qi Baishi painted "Frog Running to Shili Mountain Spring".

Strange stones in the mountains are dotted with ink and wash, a clear stream flows, and small tadpoles swim happily in twos and threes. They should have heard their mother's call, so they rushed down the river and rushed into their mother's arms. A meaningful vertical ink painting is better than silence. Look at the picture, it seems that you can really hear the frogs of Shili Spring coming from the ink painting room!

The old man Baishi expresses auditory art with visual art, time with space, ingenious conception and long implication, making full use of blank space and the imagination of the appreciator, which is a classic.

2. Beijing opera master Ma.

Mr Ma is a famous Peking Opera performer in China. Old workers and students, hence the name "Ma Pai Singing". It is such an artist with extremely rich stage experience, but he can meticulously face every performance, and his awe and respect for art is touching.

On one occasion, Ma and Cheng Pai's Tsing Yi actor Li Shiji, both famous Peking Opera artists, performed their masterpiece "Autumn Tiger Plays His Wife" on the same stage, telling the story that Dr. Lu was an official for many years.

After returning home, she pretended to be a slut and teased her wife in order to test whether her wife Luo Fu was a womanizer. Later, his wife was angry at Hu Qiu's distrust, and Hu Qiu admitted the story of reconciliation between husband and wife. Ma has played this play for hundreds of times, so he should know it by heart.

3. Ye Yongqing

St Augustine said, "The world is a book, and those who don't travel read only one page." With the support of an art foundation, Ye Yongqing began to observe and understand the world more conveniently. "In some villages in Bangladesh, people don't even have pencils, so they write on beds, branches and chicken coops.

Use the sparse and ordinary things in life to create. "In Ye Yongqing's view, those works are very touching." In fact, art is something in everyone's heart. Sweetness and bitterness are actually related to your way of walking and your heart, not the superficial things we have seen before. "

When it comes to artistic creation, Ye Yongqing feels that few people are willing to endure hardships now. People who are truly "artistic" have a devil in their hearts. "Doing art is something that you will never get peace in your life, that is, you will always be tortured by something.

That is, a person has a desire to express, or has a gift, or has a gift. This is not happiness, but a sad thing, because when your expression or your demands cannot be satisfied, you will be very painful, and you will be very painful.

If you don't have this sensibility, this thing, this need, and you don't want to express this thing, then you won't suffer from this thing, and then you can live your life happily and peacefully.

But once you have this feeling, and this feeling is suppressed, you have not found it, and you have not found it to convert these things and this appeal, you will be very uncomfortable and will not be able to solve it in your life. "

4. Vincent Van Gogh

/kloc-in the winter of 0/888, Seurat attracted people's attention in Paris, and Cezanne buried himself in Axe's residence. At this time, an enthusiastic Dutch youth left Paris to pursue the strong light and color in southern France. He is Vincent Vanke. Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853, the son of a priest.

He believed deeply in religion and became an ordinary missionary among British and Belgian miners. He felt deeply about Miller's art and its social implications and decided to be a painter himself. He has a younger brother named Theo who works in an art shop and introduced him to impressionist painters.

His brother is very unusual. Although he was poor, he always generously helped his brother Vincent, and even sponsored him to go to arles in the south of France. Vincent expects to work there for several years, and one day he can sell his paintings and pay back his generous brother.

Vincent chose a secluded place to live in arles. In his letter to Theo, he wrote down all his thoughts and hopes, which read like a continuous diary. These letters were written by a humble artist who was almost self-taught. He didn't know that he would be famous.

Those letters are one of the most touching and exciting works in all literary works, from which we can feel the artist's sense of mission, his struggle and victory, his extreme loneliness and his desire for bosom friends, and we realize that he is working extremely nervously with incomparable enthusiasm. In less than a year, from 1888 to 65438+February, he collapsed and became mentally ill.

1May, 889, I was admitted to a mental hospital, but I was able to continue painting when I was awake. Van Gogh struggled painfully again 14 months,1in July, 890, Van Gogh ended his life. Like Raphael, he died at the age of 37, and his career as a painter has not exceeded 10 years. His famous works were completed in three years, which also included periods of illness and despair.

Most people know some of these paintings today; His sunflowers, empty chairs, cypresses and some portraits are all color copies, which are circulated everywhere and can be seen in many simple houses.

This is exactly what Van Gogh wanted. He hopes that his paintings have the direct and strong effect of the Japanese color prints he appreciates. He is eager to create a pure art, which can not only attract rich connoisseurs, but also bring happiness and comfort to everyone.

However, things are not just that. No replica is perfect. Cheap copies make Van Gogh's paintings look rougher than the original, and people may sometimes get bored. As soon as this happens, you will go to Van Gogh's original works and see how exquisite and thoughtful his paintings are even with the strongest effect. He will be completely surprised.

5. Li Qiushi

In the whole history of artistic development, printmaking is inseparable from sculpture and printing, and it is an ancient artistic expression. Printmaking in the traditional sense is a single kind of painting; In the modern sense, printmaking transcends the meaning of painting and becomes the weapon of the Enlightenment.

193 1 year, with the development of the left-wing enlightenment and Lu Xun's vigorous advocacy, woodcut prints began to rise suddenly. Its strength and bright colors have brought profound influence to the public. Soon, printmaking became a part of China's revolution. Since then, the emerging printmaking has been closely linked with the fate of the grassroots and the liberation of the Chinese nation.

In this sense, Li Qiushi's "The Year" shows a meditation on historical changes and a prospect for the future. The Years of that Year is a comprehensive print, which consists of 10 works. The main image in the work is straw sandals, which are just symbols of difficult times. Among other materials, Li Qiushi uses discarded thick plastic sheets and cuts them into various tiny and irregular shapes.

In this regard, Li Qiushi said, "I am particularly interested in the weaving process and texture of straw sandals, just as the material performance of comprehensive prints can be integrated with the texture and texture of the picture, so I use modern industrial materials and collage means to print the comprehensive materials to show the design interest of modern elements."

In this work by Li Qiushi, the audience's first impression is modernization. He used some modern painting languages, such as circle, point, line and surface, instead of directly using the image of a straw sandal. He combined these modern elements into a pair of straw sandals.

After such a structure, Li Qiushi said that he wanted to express some deeper meanings, portray the impression of another era through some information of the present era, and let the audience see the deep meaning behind the works of art that are divorced from the appearance. Appearance and essence, times and meaning may be the artistic language that every artist is pursuing.

Regarding the works, Li Qiushi admits that there are still many shortcomings. "The combination of concept expression and printing technology needs to be improved. However, in the process of printing some specific contents in the comprehensive edition, there are some differences between the works and the original ideas, resulting in some uncontrollable accidental effects. These accidental factors make me very excited. "

Comparing The Year with Li Qiushi's previous works, we will find that this work has more flexible expression and diversified forms, including picture composition, geometric cropping, color overprint and so on.

"Although printmaking is more complicated, I am most happy that I can print a delicate work with technical breakthroughs." After so many years of printmaking, this is still Li Qiushi's simplest appeal.

When talking about the National Art Foundation, Li Qiushi said that the funding of the National Art Foundation has greatly promoted the artistic creation of young artists. It affirmed the efforts of young artists and increased their creative motivation to some extent.

Being able to fund them to create a number of excellent works of art, this achievement not only plays a role in the development of personal artistic career, but also has great significance to the development of social culture and China art.
