What are the differences and characteristics between Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian's oil paintings? How to tell the true from the false?

Qi Baishi's painting characteristics: Qi Baishi was greatly influenced by Chen Shiceng in painting art, and also absorbed the strengths of Wu Changshuo. Qi Baishi specializes in painting flowers and birds, and his pen is full of ink. But drawing insects is meticulous and extremely fine. Qi Baishi also praised Xu Wei, Zhu Da, Shi Tao and Jin Nong. Shrimp, crab, cicada, butterfly, fish, bird and ink are especially vivid, full of the vitality of nature. Landscape composition is unique and unconventional, full of creative spirit, unique seal cutting and outstanding calligraphy, which is well known to everyone. Qi Baishi's paintings are against unrealistic dreams. Qi Baishi often pays attention to the characteristics of flowers, birds, insects and fish and tries to figure out their spirit. Qi Baishi once said: Draw a picture of thousands of insects, a picture of hundreds of birds, and draw your own face. Qi Baishi's words are very witty and ingenious. Qi Baishi painted two chickens fighting for a bug. The title reads: Qi Baishi calls each other every day. A picture of cotton reads: "Flowers warm the world, but flowers cool the world". The title of "Tumbler Map" is "Autumn fans shake white on both sides, and official robes are black."

Characteristics of Zhang Daqian's paintings: Like many painters, Zhang Daqian also experienced the road of description. There are only a handful of modern painters who widely absorb the nutrition of the ancients like Daqian. Only by learning from the ancients, being close to others, everything and nature can we reach the realm of "learning from the law". He learns from the past, not imitates it. While inheriting traditional culture, he also thought of innovation. Finally, on the basis of inheriting the tradition, he developed splash ink, created the art of splash color and colored ink, and improved the texture of Chinese painting Xuan paper. However, the pioneers of ideas are often lonely. There is a sentence in his five-character quatrain "Lotus Pond", which seems to imply that the latecomers will continue his way.

Method of distinguishing true from false:

First, we should firmly grasp the brushwork of calligraphy and painting, or his artistic style.

Secondly, the endorsement and inscription on calligraphy and painting works are the important basis for calligraphy and painting identification, and also the place where forgers work the most.

Calligraphy and painting appraisal is a science. In addition to mastering the necessary knowledge, we should also look at the real things and try our best to improve our eyesight. It is impossible to talk on paper.
