Life of Li Kuli

Mr. Li studied gongbi in his early years and can also paint landscapes, figures and flowers. Later, he studied under Qingteng, Yangzhou Bajia and Zhao Jushu. He is particularly good at painting pine trees, with their crescent branches and trunks bent and twitching, interspersed with strange boulders and striking crags, which are consistent with Mr. Wang's character of high, open and wild shores. The miscellaneous paintings of flowers, insects, and birds correspond to the pictograms of objects, and are dyed with ink to capture the beauty of the flowers. The hidden scales and flying feathers are incompatible with the destiny. Occasionally, it is a landscape, creating a mood and creating a scene. The water, light, clouds and shadows are all beautifully displayed on the paper, which is far-reaching. In calligraphy, he only wrote dozens of small seal scripts for "Yishan Stele"; he used the seal script "Shuowen Jie Zi Shu" as his daily lesson, and accumulated dozens of volumes of manuscripts. Learn from King Zhong in regular script, and learn from Duke Yan in running script. In addition to being good at calligraphy and painting, he is also good at seal cutting and pioneered the calligraphy, painting and sealing trend in Nantong. After the age of 40, he was recommended by Zhu Zhuangzhen and studied under Wu Changshuo. His artistic style was deeply influenced by Fu Lao. His seal cutting techniques, including sword techniques, seal techniques, and compositions, all adhere to the master's standards. Mr. Fu made the seals. Mr. Fu once wrote an inscription and postscript: "Looking at all the works, you can see the painstaking efforts, and the beauty of the white text has been achieved. Zhu Wenyi increased his academic skills and sealed the mud. If you play with it from time to time, you will definitely make progress. Only seek plainness when engraving, not delicacy, and skill will be far away from elegance. I know that this must be the case in my heart." This postscript of Fu Lao is a wise saying for those who make seals. In addition, Mr. Fu also introduced Ku Li's calligraphy and painting: "Brother Ku Li uses events to illustrate his recent works. The brush strokes are outstanding, and the colors are elegant and in line with ancient methods. Going beyond images is the most difficult thing for people to do, and Ku Li Nengzhi is a truly extraordinary person..." Guan Fou has always admired Ku Li's calligraphy and painting. Mr. Wang is never complacent. When he sees someone with a skill, he is always praised and praised. For those who come to ask for advice from the younger generation, they all follow the guidance and teach tirelessly. He had many close friends throughout his life, and his friendship with Master Chen was especially close. Both of them studied under Wu Fou, and their artistic styles were deeply influenced by Fou. After the death of Shi Zeng, Mr. felt deeply sorry for the loss of a good friend, so he carved a seal of "Mu Laozi" and added the following postscript: "When Jiazi (1924) grew up, he read the collection of seals of his old friend Chen Shizeng and carved several stones. Shi Zeng immediately What is known as the Taoist in the world, in the remaining fifteen years since he took over the seal, his achievements are almost as good as those of the old man, but he is still disappointed that he can't match them. "His humility is admirable.
