Appreciation of painting and calligraphy 100 words

The famous art historian Zheng Wuchang said, "An overview of Chinese and Western painting, and looking for the order of its evolution can be divided into four courses, the first course of diffuse paintings, the second course of resemblance, the third course of craftsmanship, the fourth course of the apotheosis." There is one thing to point out: in the hierarchical composition of a work of art, any one work must have the first two levels, but cannot stay on the first two levels (i.e., artistic language and artistic image), and should pursue the third level as much as possible, i.e., artistic meaning. As the highest level of artistic meaning, not every work of art must have, certain works favoring entertainment, utilitarian or commemorative works, often does not exist at this level, or that it is difficult to reach the third level, but in general, it is these works of art of these three levels of significance with a relatively independent of each other, in which each level has its own aesthetic value, and there are some works of art Perhaps only one of these levels is more prominent, or an original artistic language, or a touching artistic image, or have and ten people seek flavor of the artistic meaning. However, a truly outstanding work of art is always successful in these three aspects, and the perfect integration of these three levels as a whole, only such a work can become an immortal work of art. (Why did Van Gogh's painting set the highest price for a single painting in the world? Why did Van Gogh become one of the three great masters of Post-Impressionism? Late Impressionism rejected natural forms, broke free from the constraints of "normalcy" and "logic", and developed into modern art that celebrated individuality. Van Gogh works of art is the greatest characteristic of the expression of the hot emotion, his works of emotion like "volcanic eruption", incomparably warm and unrestrained, shocking the soul, in this regard, the previous painters, no painter can be compared with him, because of this, he is immortalized in history, become a generation of style, and because of this, his works have created the highest level of the world. Because of this, he has been immortalized in history as a model of a generation, and because of this, his works have set the highest price in the world. It is not difficult to draw a conclusion from the mystery of the success of many successful painters: painting, you can not just paint the real, and can not stay in the reproduction, must paint their own emotions, which is one of the secrets of the success of the painter).

The "rootless flowers, passive water."

But Chinese painting, in the process of "foreign for Chinese, ancient for modern", is losing more and more national characteristics. A few years ago, there has been a painter's canvas Chinese painting was categorized into the oil painting exhibition of things, shocked the Chinese painting world ...... then produce such as "Chinese painting the end of the road", "ink and brush is equal to zero" and other pessimistic arguments. Pessimistic arguments. An Israeli painter who loves Chinese painting said that Chinese painting should look still Chinese to those of us who love it.

Traditional Chinese painting is mainly pictorial, good at expressing emotions and mood, but more abstract in representing concrete objects. "Incorporating Western concepts of modeling into Chinese painting and improving its expressive range and ability is what those engaged in the art of Chinese painting strive for today." Guo Yizong, director of the Chinese Painting Art Committee of the China Art Association and a bird and flower painter, believes that taking the best from the best is conducive to Chinese painting adapting to the times. But in the process of development to prevent the boundaries between Chinese and Western painting are becoming increasingly blurred. Many Chinese paintings bear a striking resemblance to oil paintings in terms of composition and technique, and if one is not told that it is a Chinese painting, it is natural to assume that it is an oil painting if one judges only from the blurred slides. "This is the biggest problem facing Chinese painting today."

Liu Xilin, an art critic, said with no small amount of concern. Oriental painting, represented by Chinese painting, and Western painting, represented by oil painting, have both created countless splendor on their respective paths of development: but because of the differences between East and West in terms of their modes of thinking, philosophical foundations, and aesthetic concepts. The differences in painting are very obvious. For example, although at the beginning of painting, both the East and the West used lines to depict objects, but in the later development, the "block" of Western painting and Chinese painting in the concept and use of lines, there is a huge difference: Western painting gradually embarked on the road of scientific realism, while Chinese painting embarked on the road of writing: the status and role of lines in the two painting systems have also changed. The status and role of line in the two painting systems are also significantly different. Mr. Peng Jixiang, a famous scholar, once summarized the differences between Chinese and Western paintings as follows: "If Chinese painting is intentional, Western painting is formal; Chinese painting emphasizes expression and emotion, while Western painting emphasizes reproduction and rationality; Chinese painting uses lines as the main means of modeling, while Western painting expresses objects mainly by light and color; Chinese painting is not restricted by space and time, while Western painting strictly adheres to space and time; and Western painting strictly adheres to space and time. Chinese painting is not limited by space and time, while Western painting strictly abides by the boundaries of space and time. In short, Western painting focuses on reproduction and realism, while Chinese painting focuses on expression and spontaneity, forming a sharp difference".

Chinese painting is mainly characterized by the pursuit of "poetry and painting" - the combination of expressive and realistic painting as the basic style of creation, but also the general public's inner aesthetic pursuit, the author has feelings, the audience by the scene into the feelings, the vivid and evocative The details of the painting have become the carrier of information for the exchange of emotions between the two sides.

.

(e.g. Gu Shao Hua's poetic painting of Chinese landscape - "A Gao Shi Goes to His Office"

Appreciation and analysis of the high mountains and waterfalls; the top of the sky, the wall is thousands of feet; the trees return to the green in the early spring; the friend goes to his office, and the parting; ...... The towering mountains create a stirring effect, but also as if from the picture "out" the roar of the waterfall and the cold wind sweeping down, intertwined, so that people feel the greatness of the natural creation. It has a strong artistic influence.

There is a poem to prove it: I can't go to the waterfall, like meeting old friends. I'm not sure if I've ever seen you in the middle of a mountain. I'm not sure where the moon is, but I'm sure I can hear the wind in the distance. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it back, but I'll be able to make it to the east side of the rock. (Tang Dynasty? Yuye's "Friends Pavilion Pine" poem)

This painting adopts a painting method based on ink (ink is divided into five colors - burnt, heavy, light and clear), "light reddish-red coloring", and back-side lining dyeing, and therefore has the characteristics of "not hurting the ink and brushwork" and "simple and elegant". "It is characterized by simplicity and elegance.

The difference between Chinese painting and oil painting is mainly as follows;

(1) Chinese painting appeared earlier than oil painting, only in terms of molding paintings, Chinese painting was molded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (about A.D. 304-589), and the molding of oil paintings should be at least up to the medieval Renaissance period.

(2) The history of Chinese painting goes back thousands of years, and it is the treasure of traditional Chinese art. The biggest feature of Chinese painting is the composition of poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing, as well as the Chinese cultural heritage contained in the paintings themselves, which is different from the biggest feature of Western painting art; Chinese painting is a crystallization of literature and art as a whole, a treasure. Therefore, there is no comparison with oil painting.

(3) Chinese painting adopts scattered perspective, oil painting adopts focal point perspective, so Chinese painting can paint a wide range of people in the landscape (such as the painting of the river on the Qingming River) and oil painting can not, oil painting can paint a strong texture effect of the object and Chinese painting can not.

(4) Chinese paintings generally do not use heavy colors and have a smaller variety of colors, while oil paintings have a heavy degree of color and use many colors.

(5) Chinese painting attaches great importance to framing, while oil painting largely ignores it.

(6) Chinese paintings generally incorporate private calligraphic dickey seals and inscriptions, while oil paintings basically do not.

(7) During the development of Chinese painting, the schools are relatively fixed and not much differentiated, while oil painting has many schools and big differences in the development process.

.

It should have been two major schools of painting parallel to the East and the West - oil painting in the West, Chinese painting in the East, side by side; but today the result is: one is "over-nourished" (oil painting), while the other is seriously " nutritional deficiency". These are because of the cultural background, humanistic habits, economic development and many other factors that exist between the East and the West; therefore, the international community has created a great disregard for Western painting - oil paintings, and a great indifference to Oriental paintings - Chinese paintings. And this "indifference" will lead to a result that we do not want to see - "survival of the fittest". Maybe now or in the near future Chinese painting will "mutate"; it will "mutate" into something with low artistic value, without brush and ink, without poetry and painting, without the "three distances" (without the characteristics of Chinese painting), and without the "three distances" (without the characteristics of Chinese painting), under the pressure of the outside world. It will "mutate" into a "deformed child" with low artistic value, no brush and ink, no poetic feeling, no "three far-flung" (no Chinese painting characteristics), which is derived under the pressure of the outside world - only the strange colors, blocks and texture effects expressed by special techniques (materials); i.e., the so-called "Innovative Chinese Painting

This is the so-called "innovative Chinese painting".

Therefore, I would like to urge the art-loving groups or friends in the developed countries, especially those who love oriental art, to do their part to protect the Chinese painting, which is one of the splendid and eye-catching wonders in the world's art treasury!

Additionally: in order to make Chinese painting can really be loved by the people of the world, it is necessary to Chinese painting and calligraphy "learning, training" classes to the world; Nowadays, with the Chinese culture of international exchanges, the reform of China's cultural system, Chinese culture and art of the treasure - Chinese painting and calligraphy will be more and more popular in the world, the Chinese culture and art of the treasure - Chinese painting and calligraphy will be more and more popular in the world. -Chinese painting and calligraphy will be more and more by the world's people understand and love, Chinese painting and calligraphy "learning, training" classes to the world's dream will soon become a reality; only when the world's people who love art through learning, understanding and know how to appreciate the Chinese painting and calligraphy works of art, "the true meaning". Only when people around the world who love art through learning, understanding and know how to appreciate the art of Chinese painting and calligraphy works of art "true meaning" to love, protect the healthy development of Chinese painting and calligraphy; I believe that by that time the gap between the price of Chinese and Western paintings can be improved. We look forward to that day will come soon!
