Comments by famous teachers
Professor Chen Dongzhi:
Before I retired, I noticed that Li Yuntao was a student who was good at ink painting. After long-term observation, I believe that he is a flower-and-bird painter with great potential.
Li Yuntao is indifferent and modest, Zhuang Jing is self-controlled, simple and wise, but he speaks slowly and acts quickly. Influenced by his father, Mr. Li Shoutong (entrepreneur and landscape painter), he was obsessed with flower-and-bird painting since childhood. During his undergraduate course in Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, he studied hard, studied hard, and had a solid foundation. Later, he studied under master Huo Chunyang, a famous teacher, and devoted himself to the study of pen and ink, resulting in a sharp increase in paintings. Now in the late 1920s, there are quite a lot of creations, or ink splashing, dry and wet shades complement each other; Or flowers and birds are subtle, and the outline is full of interest. As the saying goes, "the sexual fool is determined to win, and the artistic fool is skilled in the future", which is also the way of nature.
Looking at Li Yuntao's ink painting and flower-and-bird painting, I feel peaceful, relaxed and relaxed. The ethereal and elegant pen and ink, fresh and elegant charm, reject the impetuousness of profit-seeking disputes and the vanity of feasting. Don't be ridiculous, don't compete for favor, don't be interested in the times, and don't be unconventional. The picture frame is full of simple and natural interest, which is a pure and warm wind. This is the power of artistic character, and it also proves that spiritual wealth is indispensable and precious.
Professor Huo Chunyang:
Today's Chinese painting world is full of impetuousness and vanity. Most painters in China lack the nourishment of China's traditional cultural spirit, and they are "promising" in art, "strong and weak in bones" and quite have the mentality of "talking without being surprised". Catering to secular needs, lack of spiritual accomplishment, materialistic and utilitarian mentality have made the whole Chinese painting industry lose its artistic value standard. It is extremely unhealthy to seek novelty, strangeness and strangeness in painting, to pursue how personal appearance is different, to pursue so-called "visual impact" without paying attention to the charm of pen and ink, and even to subvert the charm of pen and ink and traditional culture. This sought-after and painstakingly designed "style" of packaging is often of low value. It destroys the most primitive and valuable things in art-simplicity and nature. The so-called "pure heart" of the ancients should not be "the heart of service". Looking at Yun Tao's paintings, you may not get the fashionable satisfaction of young people, let alone fashionable and noisy. There are only indifferent emotions in the calm, as if he were escaping from the dazzling world in this world. The quality of art, the field and level of literature depend on the realm, which is the essence of art. In fact, it is necessary to have that noble imagination, which is born from infinity, and the arrival of this realm needs the nourishment of profound traditional culture and superb pen and ink skills.
In such an impetuous and vain society, Yun Tao has been firmly following the creative path of "pure heart and hard work" from undergraduate to graduate in recent years, which is commendable. Attach importance to the study of traditional culture and improve their spiritual cultivation; In-depth study of traditional classic painting, it is very rare to be able to "not stick to the past and not keep pace with the times" in terms of pen and ink, composition and modeling. In particular, a number of works created recently have solid basic skills, ethereal and elegant brushwork, and have achieved gratifying results.
Professor Li Xiaoxuan:
I remember that Yun Tao took a fancy to freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting in college, and later studied as a graduate student under Professor Huo Chunyang for three years. I am no stranger to Yuntao's people and paintings. Others are very practical and sincere, and the paintings are very spiritual. His paintings have never been divorced from his mind and real requirements. They are dull, dry and full of vitality, but they are also rich. My understanding is that judging the quality of flower-and-bird painting is a fundamental premise. In the history of flower-and-bird painting, there is a saying that the court is rich and the literati is wild. As for the later study, the two can neither be neglected nor neglected. With its "wealth", you actually have that noble imagination, born in nature, starting from infinity, content with the ordinary, surpassing the image, rejecting the bondage of material and utilitarian imagination, and naturally resisting vulgarity, getting rid of poverty, and then "full of vitality." The so-called "life" hides the philosophical world of China people, and the spirit of creation is soul-stirring, and through the vitality of nature. All these are gathered in Yun Tao's memory and hidden in his pursuit.
Professor Jia Guangjian:
I know when the vegetation has feelings —— Look at Yun Tao's flower-and-bird paintings
Sad autumn wind in the fallen leaves, feeling the feelings of spring flowers rejuvenating, the turbulent mountain makes people feel heroic, and the long river sunset makes people feel majestic. This is the realm where scenes, things and me blend together. The blending of things and feelings, resorting to singing is poetry, and forming in writing is painting. Therefore, poetry or painting is attached to things, but it is moved by feelings, and then there are those timeless masterpieces and immortal classics, or it can be said that it is "expressing the will."
Yun Tao's painting seems to be the expression of traditional pen and ink, but in fact it seems to be the product of perceiving things and moving with emotion. In China's traditional aesthetic thought, the aesthetics of classical poetry pays attention to "ethereal" and "artistic conception", which are vigorous, diluted, slim, calm and lofty, etc., all of which are reflected in China's paintings. From the perspective of things, Yun Tao's paintings reflect his feelings of being good at observing and feeling nature. From the perspective of expressing feelings, Yun Tao's paintings express his feelings through traditional pen and ink, his distant feelings, and his intake of natural Vientiane, all of which are integrated into his pen. Looking at his flower-and-bird paintings is not only a step-by-step approach to traditional pen and ink, but also reflects his thinking on traditional aesthetic spirit and understanding of the realm of Chinese painting. It should also be to turn the scenery into emotion.
For China's paintings, it is meaningless to completely repeat the traditional brush and ink in contemporary times. Judging from many themes expressed by Yun Tao, Yun Tao has his own thoughts in this respect. Confucius said, "Wise people enjoy water while benevolent people enjoy Leshan". As the saying goes, "radish and cabbage have their own love." Among them, he is rooted in the research and creation of traditional flower-and-bird paintings, which can be described as no distractions. For Yun Tao, whether he wants to be a "wise man" or a "benevolent man", whether he wants to be a "happy water" or a "Leshan", I think he will have his own wise choice on the road of art.
"In the past, I'm gone, willow is the one. Now that I think about it, it's raining. " The description of "the autumn wind blows and the waves in the cave are under the leaves" permeates and condenses the expression of self-emotion beyond nature. As a flower and bird painter, everyone should be aware of the life of all things in nature. Plants have feelings, but I have knowledge. What kind of heart is it to be able to perceive the subtle life of vegetation? I think Yun Tao is such a person with such feelings.
Painters are based on the aura of heaven and earth and the wonderful thoughts of people. Everything is in hand, and thinking is interesting. Yun Tao has aura, but it needs self-cultivation to be richer, and there will be "whimsy". Yun Tao has mastered pen and ink, his initial appearance and artistic orientation, as well as his understanding and thinking of Chinese painting. He has taken a solid first step, and I think he will surpass himself again and again with his own thinking and practice.
I will keep hope.
Professor Yan Baozhen:
Li Yuntao, a young painter, is currently teaching in the Department of Chinese Painting of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. At school, I studied flower-and-bird painting with Mr. Huo Chunyang and got a master's degree. Yun Tao systematically studied the artistic tradition of classical flower-and-bird painting, absorbed a lot of nutrients and made new creations, and gradually formed a painting method of blending ink and color. In his flower-and-bird paintings, Xu Xi, Huang Quan, Liang Lin and Lv Ji are integrated. Bamboo, stone, orchid, cold plum and Yuntao create a fresh and elegant artistic conception; The breeze and the bright moon, flowers bloom and fall. He is good at absorbing the beauty of ecology, enriching it into the picture and forming his own advantages and characteristics.
Yun Tao is restrained and calm, and the composition and layout of flower-and-bird paintings are full. His pen and ink contains the life and artistic experience of the times. He constantly explores the expressive force of the artistic language of flower-and-bird painting and meticulously creates beautiful pictures. Yun Tao's perspective of flower-and-bird painting does not stop at the conventional customary painting method, but can show his sensitivity to art with the nuances of flowers and birds. Some people compare flower-and-bird painting to light music, and Yun Tao's part-time flower-and-bird painting reveals a harmonious and fresh atmosphere. I hope Yun Tao will devote himself to creating more beautiful works. Flower-and-bird painting is difficult to draw a high style that is divorced from the secular. I expect Yun Tao to draw more good works.

Gu Feng Yun Xin Tian Tong Di
Clear sky in Wan Li, when spring blossoms, I welcomed several old people from the aviation department. As soon as they left the Tianjin Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, they came to the Italian Style Street and entered the Linglongge Art Museum. Everyone stopped at Mr. Li Yuntao's painting to talk about it. Lao Jiang said: "In the past, it was difficult for us to take time off from work, but now we are looking for time to enjoy the art exhibition." Two old people, the State Council, came with them. Chen Lao said, "Look, Mr. Li Yuntao's four screens and snow scenes are really eye-catching, and his writing skills are relatively solid. The picture is fresh and elegant, with these elf birds, lively, lovely and interesting. Unfortunately, I haven't seen such a painting for a long time. Now some people are impetuous, get something, sprinkle it on paper and make it, but they can't see the lines of pen and ink. They even call it "Chinese painting". What's more, some people make a fool of themselves. On the rice paper, there is a piece of red, a pile of black, big blue and white, and then two big lips are drawn, naked, inhuman, animal and non-animal, which is puzzling. Under the impact of market economy, these people lost their self-control ability and fell into the trap of "kitsch" and "vulgarity". Tang Lao said: "I am most worried that Chinese paintings will be ruined by foreign paintings." Li Lao quickly said, "don't worry about this. In my opinion, if anyone has any troubles or worries, just look at these paintings. They will be calm and clear, which is more useful than listening to Schumann's dreams. " I interjected, "Minister Chen, there used to be a copy of Curing Anger written by Mr. Yan Lichuan in your office. How do you feel at this time? " Chen Lao said, "The child is old, bitter and late. The sound of the waves is still relentless. My feelings, if you can give me these four screens, I will hang them in nave together with "Curing Anger". Li Lao quickly changed the subject and said, "It is a good thing for high-end people in Asia to choose such a painting as a gift. Thank you for your help, Mr. Kutcher. "
The next day, I contacted Mr Li Yuntao through a friend, and he invited me to go. Twenty minutes later, I knocked on his door. Mr. Wang is young and plain. He showed me the studio, which was full of books, paintings and antiques, as well as a glass room for raising birds and flowers. Li said: "In addition to leading students to learn from others, it is to concentrate all corners of nature at home, raise fish and feed birds, water flowers, get in touch at zero distance, observe the dynamics and expressions of birds, listen to pleasant calls and realize emotional communication, so that painting will be handy."
I explained my purpose during the visit, and he readily agreed. A month later, I sent his paintings to Beijing. After reading it, the old consultant and several related leaders were very satisfied and highly praised.
There are four screens for each set of flowers, birds, fish and insects. The expression technique is exquisite, simple and elegant, and birds are the only natural and beautiful colors. The cloth leaves are cleverly branched in composition, which does not lose bone strength in elegance, simplicity and vigor in elegance, and new charm in elegance.
In the picture of Spring, there are not many magnolia flowers, but they can have different postures: blooming, budding, laughing on their back, shy, large and small, left and right, and cleverly distributed. A blue ribbon hangs from the branch. Birds in bright spring, look at yourself, looking very proud!
There is also a picture of peony "Spring". To tell the truth, I am biased against peony, because everything I see is similar, round, lined up, silly, colorful and vulgar. However, the peony described by Teacher Li has opened my eyes. Tick a Bai Mudan on the rice paper, dip the other three flowers in water first, then dip them in lavender, pink and goose yellow. Flowers seem to be absent, turning into elves, surpassing elephants, like an elf watching flowers in the morning fog. Unreal, showing the ethereal beauty of nature. This is superb pen and ink skills, in order to achieve wonderful pen and flower.
The picture of "summer" is lotus. Between the blue sky and clear water, the green leaves are facing the wind, and a pink lotus is slim and graceful, just like a noble lady who just came out of the bath in Huaqing Pool, noble and charming, and lovely. Think of Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow": Heaven's grace can't be hidden, and finally one day she was elected to the royal family. As long as she turned around and smiled, there were a hundred spells, and the sixth house was wiped out. There are other ladies in his court, 3,000 rare beauties and his love for 3,000 beauties are all concentrated in one body. No wonder the other two "beauties" are full of sighs. They are hiding beside the Taihu Stone and behind the green leaves. This painting is like mellow wine, with a fragrant smell. Take a sip, your lips and teeth will be fragrant, and your aftertaste will be endless.
The interesting pictures of Mid-Autumn Festival in the Valley are more interesting. There isn't much fruit on the picked tree. There is a pair of turtledoves, one of which climbs to a high branch, swaying in the wind, sometimes free and affectionate, looking down; The other is combing his feathers, as if to say, "Excuse me, please wait a moment, I'm getting dressed." This painting is concise, novel and picturesque, and it is an amazing masterpiece.
The scene of Winter is snowy, white, with drooping branches and silence. At this time, a colorful golden pheasant flew in, stood on the stone, looked back, enjoyed the snow scene or looked for friends? The beautiful golden pheasant brings vitality, joy and longing to this silent and indifferent winter. Food is the most important thing for the people, and snow bodes well for years. Who in the world doesn't expect a good harvest in the coming year? The image of snow scene is formed with light ink, dark ink and blank space in the pen, without any "counterfeiting and production" The painter's brushwork is smart, full of charm, free and smooth. The picture is wrapped in silver and extraordinarily enchanting. Mr. Li deserves to be an expert in writing snow scenes.
I think Mr. Li always puts flowers and birds in a certain "situation" in his creation, which makes the picture fresh, clear, affectionate and interesting, like poetry and song, thus radiating touching artistic power.
A few days ago, I saw Mr. Wang's new work "Spring River Plumbing" with the inscription: "Spring River Plumbing Duck and Goose and Prophet Wu Jin painted this picture and laughed it off." I meditated for a long time before painting, and my thoughts crossed the historical time and space and advanced to more than 200 years ago. There was a scholar named Mao Qiling in the Qing Dynasty who was arrogant, but he didn't lose any interest. Seeing that later generations often quoted Su Dongpo's famous sentence in the Song Dynasty: "Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet", I couldn't help but say angrily: "Spring River Plumbing, ducks must know, geese don't know?" Mao's "truth" has been ridiculed and ridiculed by some writers of his generation. Perhaps the most famous is Mr. Yuan Mei, the author of Poems Accompanied by Gardens. The past has become an allusion. Now, Li painted a picture of the Prophet of Duck and Goose, which is also a great humor. One is to put an end to the "knot" in the minds of predecessors. Secondly, I told a truth: "truth" is a good thing, and I am afraid of "going too far." Once you go too far, you will be carried to death, crooked and evil, but ridiculous and generous.
Taihu Stone is the "stone bone", "stone soul" and "stone gall" of Taihu Lake. After thousands of years, the caves are self-generated, mostly gray-blue, with few white and black, which is an essential ornament in the courtyard of Jiangnan. Carving for "Kunshi" and "Taihu Stone" is also a highlight in Mr. Li's works. He said: "It is not easy to hook, pinch, inch and rub out a proud stone." The ancients drew trees first, then circled them before writing. In order to draw a famous stone in the south of the Yangtze River, I often walk around the stone for several weeks, listen to the language of the stone and melt into the house of the soul before I dare to write. "The Taihu Stone described by Mr. Li is exquisite and pleasing to the eye, and has the feeling of' fairyland', which has reached the high standard of stone appreciation: thin, wrinkled, leaking, transparent, dangerous and ugly. This ugly beauty attracts me as a wanderer in the south of the Yangtze River like a magnet, which makes me feel nostalgic and homesick. I can't help singing and teaching me how to miss her.
Mr. Li has been obsessed with painting since childhood. Under the influence of his father, a landscape painter, he consciously entered the besieged city of China traditional painting and laid a good foundation. Now galloping in the world of small freehand brushwork flowers and birds. He is very grateful to many good teachers of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts for their training and teaching. He talked several times about Professor Huo Chunyang's rigorous academic attitude and extensive knowledge. Professor Huo attaches importance to pen and ink and advocates high-level and high-grade painting. Therefore, after graduating from undergraduate course, Mr. Li studied under Professor Huo and obtained a master's degree. Thanks to the love of the college, he stayed in school to teach.
Mr. Li deeply realized that China traditional culture is the source of painting art, and nature and life are inexhaustible themes. He said that only inheritance can innovate, and it is the unshirkable responsibility of young painters to create new laws. He knows that there is no end to learning the sea, and only through hard work can he reach the other side.
I can't bear to put my pen aside, and there is an unforgettable painting, with willow branches fluttering, the south wind slowly, and a pair of swans swimming on the lake. At the moment, I seem to have heard the famous French Saint-Sang's swan, which seems to be the version of China cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Cello, with its unique deep and rich timbre, shows the nobility, elegance, beauty and holiness of swan. Is this a painting specially painted by the artist for this world classic? Why else are they so similar and perfect? As the saying goes, a good song lingers for three days, and this painting has haunted me for more than three days!
