Xue Yongnian (art historian, professor of Central Academy of Fine Arts, doctoral supervisor):
"Yuan Liezhou has made a great breakthrough in drawing horses. In the past, people mostly emphasized the spirit of the horse itself, and the spirit of the horse traveled thousands of miles every day, and rarely described the horse in combination with the environment. Where is Zhao? He painted the living environment, Zhang Mu painted the scenic spots, Jin Nong did not paint the environment, and Xu Beihong seldom painted the environment. Yuan Liezhou painted horses and the environment together, injected feelings and created artistic conception, which was an obvious breakthrough for Yuan Liezhou. Secondly, painting horses until Jin Nong in Qing Dynasty was meticulous, and Jin Nong was freehand, with some deformation, but it was still a single line. Mr. Xu Beihong began to draw horses with thick pens and large strokes. Describing the shape and spirit of the horse with large brushwork and freehand brushwork, exaggerating and deforming the horse, and then putting it in the environment to describe it, is another obvious feature of Zhou. The environment is not concrete, but the history of China, the land of China, the Yangtze River and especially the Yellow River. He painted a horse as a dragon, and described the living environment of the dragon in the environment of the horse, so the realm was very broad and open, which was closely combined with his inner spirit. Therefore, his painting of horses is not a painting of bones and flesh, nor a painting of horses, but a painting of a spirit and a national spirit. This spirit is indomitable, surging, self-improvement, and sonorous, which is rarely painted like this before, and it is entirely his own thing. His paintings are very advanced and spiritual. He is not satisfied with the technology. Of course, his painting techniques are extensive, traditional, modern and diverse. But these techniques are used to express this spirit, which is not only personal, but also unique, belonging to an era and a nation. In this regard, he has made extraordinary efforts and achieved remarkable results. "
What I admire most about Yuan Liezhou's paintings is his extraordinary artistic conception and feelings. First of all, this makes his horse paintings stand out from the traditional themes of ancient and modern masters. There is a surge of lofty sentiments in his paintings, and there is a kind of mind that cherishes the past and cherishes the present and tilts the universe, which often integrates "qi, rhyme and emotion", such as numerous strings and magnificent symphonies, which makes people sad and energetic and can't extricate themselves for a long time.
Another manifestation of Liezhou's emphasis on tradition rather than sticking to tradition is that he pays attention to using a pen and his lines are flying wildly.
But it is not slippery or floating, and the taste is rough and spicy. It can be seen that he attaches importance to the use of pens in Chinese painting.
The meaning of Buddhism is clear, especially in his simple horse.
In particular, the picture of Liezhou is very new, but it is not new to follow the fashion and follow the trend.
He doesn't do strange things, even if some parts of the horse are exaggerated and deformed, which is the need of the theme, so it is natural.
Plain and light, there is no common fault of fashion and custom, so his paintings are real and simple, and can grasp the touching heartstrings. ?
