Even if I don't write, ink or draw, I'm still here.

Shi Tao's On Landscape Painting: Quotations of Paintings by Bitter Melons and Monks, also known as Shi Tao's Quotations of Paintings, consists of eighteen chapters. With the proposal of "one painting", the theory of landscape painting rose to the philosophical level, advocating "pen and ink to write heaven and earth, Tao Yong for me". This paper expounds the relationship between landscape painting creation and nature, the law of using pen and ink, and the expression method of mountains and rivers and trees, and has many original opinions. It is emphasized that painters should face the reality, devote themselves to nature, "seek for the best peaks and draft" and create their own artistic conception. Advocate "borrowing the past to open up the present" and oppose "muddling the past". This was an innovation at that time, and these painting ideas had great influence and historical role in modern times, modernity and contemporary times. Some people say that Shi Tao is one of the few great figures in China's painting history, and he is well-deserved in terms of his painting skills and theory. His artistic thought and painting practice had an important influence on later generations, and also made an important contribution to the development of modern painting in China. His landscapes, flowers and birds, figures and animals all have skills and innovations, especially landscape paintings and his monograph "Quotations of Painting". It doesn't seem too much to regard him as the first person in 300 years since the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, under the influence of the theory of "North-South School" advocated by Dong Qichang and others, the wind of archaizing gradually flourished. At this time, a talented Shi Tao suddenly appeared, ignoring this trend. He emphasized that "I use my own method" and clearly pointed out: "I am who I am, and I am there." "An ancient man can't be in front of me; The ancient heart, uneasy into my stomach. " "I don't hate that I don't have two kings. I hate that two kings have no ministers." He even said heroically, "Even if I don't write, ink or draw, I'm still here." In a word, he wants to change the face of the ancients and create new laws and standards, which is a challenge to traditional ideas. In fact, from the perspective of landscape painting, after thousands of years of progress in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, a huge traditional burden has been formed in the Qing Dynasty. However, Shi Tao's ancient arrogance and old-school methods, as well as Wang Yang's willfulness and free will, have taken a step towards modern painting. Shi Tao's artistic thought plays an important role in history. He prepared for the development of Chinese painting to modern painting and played a historic role in promoting it. Shi Tao's proposition and practice made the painter pay attention to life and learn from nature, which laid the foundation for creating a new history. In order to achieve success in landscape painting in Qing dynasty, we must carry out new reforms while inheriting the tradition. Therefore, it is inevitable that landscape painting will develop to this step through the new law. Source:/view/51160.htm.
