Artistic Characteristics of Liu Chuncao

After the death of its founders, Gao Jianfu, Gao Qifeng and Chen Shuren, the renowned Lingnan School of Painting, the disciples of Gao, such as Guan Shanyue, Lai Xiongcai, Zhao Shao'ang and Yang Shanshen, continued to hold up the banner of the Lingnan School of Painting, influencing the entire South China painting world, but unfortunately they have been passed away one after another.

Liu Chuncao since childhood by the end of the Qing dynasty famous Confucian Gui Nanping calligraphy calligraphy bone method of brush, and y his teacher Chen Shuren's true heritage, coupled with his take hold of a stroke of the world's enlightenment, his style of painting is different from the main disciples of the two high GuanShanYue, LaiXiongCai, etc., in the Lingnan School of Painting distinctive.

Books into paintings, the atmosphere of the majestic

Liu Chuncao in a collection of paintings in the preface said: "youth is a period of learning, printing grid for the book, writing scenes to take the real, recite Tang poetry and Song lyrics, so that the bottom of the ink rhyme to the vulgar." Liu Chuncao y get the same source of painting and calligraphy, the true meaning of the book into the painting, his paintings do not focus on the inheritance of the Lingnan School of painting heavy rendering, bumping into the water bumping into the pastel technique, but focus on the composition of the momentum, the pen to see the charisma, pen and ink reflecting the cultural taste, whether it is the center, the side of the front, the partial front, the counter-front are able to penetrate the back of the paper, the Lingnan School of painting painters consciously return to the tradition of the ink and the forerunner of the ink and brush. His works, such as the landscape painting "Pine Valley Sounding Spring", bird and flower painting "A Strike of a Thousand Miles", etc., are strong, concise and generalized, wanton and unrestrained, and the rhythm of the ink is brilliant, showing the weather of everyone. No wonder the executive vice president of the China Art Association in the "Liu Chuncao painting collection" commented: "Professor Liu Chuncao, his strong and drenching brush and ink masterpieces, is rarely seen in the Lingnan Painting Department."

Elderly Mr. Liu said to the author, he repeatedly studied the Southern Song Dynasty Ma Yuan, Xia Gui's axe chapping and Tang Dynasty Wang Qia's ink splashing method, trying to make the work more drenching strokes for the Lingnan School of Painting to recreate a page.

Bone method with the brush to line for the shape

Mr. Chen Shuren once said: "Composition is the most important piece of painting, belonging to the beauty of the form of the organization of the line, the shape of the match, the distinction between light and dark only." Liu Chuncao early every morning must learn its teacher practice ink for "Chen class", skilled mastery of the brush line of the strong and weak, light and heavy, dense and sparse, static and dynamic, wet and dry changes, his paintings and his master's works, most of the line for the modeling of the skeleton, less chafing, to give full play to the lines of the performance of the line, and sometimes miscellaneous to the scattered strokes with the pen, in order to enhance the picture of the Sometimes, he uses a mixture of loose strokes to enhance the sense of vicissitude and richness of the picture. He won the South Korean "Asia Art Award" works "Nile River" is to unrestrained, dashing line painting, writing flavor is very strong; his new work "uncle high wind", "blooming map", etc., whether it is a fine line of double hooks or bold bone, all the tension of the line to the extreme, in the use of color, whether it is a thick color of the red cotton or light reddish-red In terms of color, whether it is the thick red cotton or the light reddish green bamboo, all of them are able to achieve harmony and unity with the line not hindering the air and the color not hurting the line.

Creation is the teacher, and the object is the object

Mr. Chen Shuren believed that "sketching is the foundation of painting, and if one can sketch, then there is an object in the painting." He spent his life practicing the artistic life of "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles". Liu Chuncao learned from his teacher. He said in the preface of the collection of paintings: "since moving to North Borneo after building the Chinese Academy in the mountains do not realize more than ten years, children become successful, no worries, then took hold of a tour around the universe and the world's famous mountains and rivers, set foot in all the exhibitions and lectures, experienced the second stage of middle age." He traveled half of the world in his middle age, while traveling, while lecturing, while picking up the wind, while creating, the local conditions and conditions of each place, nature's thousands of valleys, are transformed into the colorful ink of the picture under the pen. In June 2006, the Great Hall of the People officially collected the grand masterpiece "The First Peak of the World", which is his new work after experiencing life in Mount Everest in the Himalayas. The painting is majestic and layered, with a kind of Chinese nation's vastness.

Return of the red son, Chinese complex

A pole brush, two sleeves, stand three feet of the podium, Chinese culture in the four seas, is the life of Professor Liu Chuncao's portrayal; the roots of the roots, the love of China, return to the Lingnan, Liu Chuncao, this is the overseas Lingnan School of Painting famous artists wish. I saw a couplet in front of the bamboo garden where he lives: "birds and birds with each other, pine and bamboo is my home", a scholarly and elegant temperament, I can not help but think of his mentor Chen Shuren's poem: "Where the western mountains do not enter the poem, rain and wind, snow and snow at the right time, my life is also more than other wishes, have to make the south of a painting master. "

Liu Chuncao often said to people: "I have a lot of life on the boat, but did not get on the boat of the thief of fame and fortune." He is indifferent to fame and fortune, love of China, concerned about the development of Lingnan school of painting. No wonder Guangzhou Lingnan School of Painting Memorial Museum Director Chen Yong-chan in the "Xinxin spring grass dyeing spring sun - to pay tribute to Mr. Chuncho" in the article, said: "art creation is a kind of personality expression, style to establish the connotation of the personality, such as the old man said the water is good for everything and do not contend, might as well be low is the future.

His works are not worth much, but now has reached the age of eighty-nine is still two-sleeved breeze; he lived abroad for 50 years, defying the power of Chinese exclusion, through the hardships of promoting Chinese culture; he has been abroad is infinite, but the old and thin and resolutely only to return to his hometown ......
