Appreciate the sketch of an artist who requires 800- 1000 words (such as Xu Beihong)! !

Xu Beihong is the first person who transplanted the western realistic sketch into the art education system in China, and took its essence to find the right way to transform the disadvantages of traditional painting and integrate sketch into Chinese painting. The established sketch teaching system has been used to this day. At that time, in Beiping Art Institute, he often used Engel's famous saying "A sketch artist is also a master of art" to teach his students, which had a great influence on the sketch teaching in China and even the development of the whole art education. Xu Beihong's exploration of European art and his innovative attempt at Chinese painting were all successful through the channel of sketch. Therefore, we might as well say that the study of Xu Beihong's artistic achievements should start with his sketches, which shows the importance of sketches to Xu Beihong's art and art education.

The sketches in Xu Beihong's life are mostly portraits and human bodies. The structure of the human body is the most complex, delicate and difficult to master. Xu Beihong has made great efforts in the practice of sketching. It is precisely because of his mastery of sketch that he has accurately grasped the shape and structure of every object in his oil painting creation. Full-bodied women, tall and strong men, and elderly people with flabby muscles are all in place, which is full of three-dimensional sense.

This work "Man's Body" is a typical sketch work created by Xu Beihong, and it is a sketch work in the 1920s. From the picture, the object of the sketch is an oriental man, who should have done it after he returned from studying in France. Judging from the watermark and dark lines of the paper used and French, it is made of special sketch paper brought back from France. The bent man had a stick in his hand, as if he were breaking something. The picture presents a dynamic posture, showing strong shoulders and arms. Legs, arms, back and other parts accurately depict the dynamic male muscle performance, the use and arrangement of lines, and the contrast between light and shade of characters, all of which show Xu Beihong's extremely high sketching skills.

This work was originally collected by the famous artist Mr. Huang Yanghui, and the inscription on the left side of the painting reads: "Xu Beihong sketched the original, Huang Yanghui." As we all know, there is deep affection between Xu Beihong and Huang Yanghui. Huang Yanghui followed Xu Beihong for more than 20 years and helped Xu Beihong explore and develop China fine arts. The friendship between teachers and friends has already surpassed the ordinary relationship between teachers and students, and it is also a legend in China art world. This sketch was collected by Mr. Huang Yanghui and witnessed their friendship. It is very precious.

Looking back at the shooting scene, the sketch works performed quite well in the art market. As early as the autumn auction in 2006, the transaction price of Xu Beihong's sketch works was 2.42 million yuan, while in the spring auction of 20 1 1, Zhou Sicong's sketch "Chairman Mao goes to Changxindian" was sold for 2.07 million yuan, and Wang Shikuo's sketch manuscript "Blood Clothes" was sold in the autumn auction in 2009. It can be said that the artist's sketches will inevitably attract more people's attention. It is a record of all the feelings of the painter, and it is the driving force to stimulate the artist's imagination and sprout his creation, and its appreciation space is immeasurable.
