Zhang Daqian is also a genius of Chinese painting, but there is an interesting story about Zhang Daqian's road to fame, which most people don't know. Let's take a look at Zhang Daqian's fame opportunities with me.
One day in 1930s, more than 65,438+00 painters in Beiping held an elegant collection. At the banquet, Chen Banding, the oldest and most famous great painter, announced excitedly that he had recently discovered an excellent album by Shi Tao, a famous painter in the early Qing Dynasty, which was extraordinary and rare in the world. To this end, he specially invited celebrities from Beiping Art Garden to visit his home at 6 pm the next day.
Invited famous painters such as Zhou, Ma Jin, Ma Jin, Zhou, Xu, President of China Painting Academy. Chen Banding Art Museum invited so many famous artists, but one person was missing, that is, Zhang Daqian, a young painter who lived in Beiping at that time and just entered the art world.
But Zhang Daqian is a famous fan of Shi Tao. When I was a teenager, I made great efforts to copy the paintings of Shi Tao, Badashanren, Xu Wei and Wu Changshuo. He studied Taoism for many years and painted in a mess, which is known as "Nan Shitao". This time, he got wind of this elegant collection and enjoyed Shi Tao's fine works in Yilin. Can he miss such an opportunity? So, without waiting for an invitation, at 3 pm the next day, Zhang went straight to Chen's office and asked him to take out his Tibetan paintings.
Chen Banding's temper is that if the guests don't come together, they won't show their Tibetan paintings. He said to Zhang Daqian, "The time for me to invite my friends to * * * is 6 o'clock. I can't show it to you first, but let's enjoy it together when our friends arrive. You can watch it if you want, but not now, wait until 6 o'clock. " Say that finish, leave the seat, leaving Zhang Daqian sitting on the bench in the living room.
The young Zhang Daqian was left out in the cold, and the boss was very unhappy. But in order to appreciate Shi Tao's rare treasures, he had to submit to humiliation for more than three hours. At 6 o'clock, after the distinguished guests gathered, Chen Banding first made an opening speech at the banquet, claiming that he was lucky enough to become famous and dared not keep a secret. He is willing to reciprocate his friendship.
Zhang Daqian was squeezed in the outer circle of these celebrities. When Chen Banding held out the baby album and was about to show it, Zhang Daqian involuntarily cried, "It's this album! Don't look, I know! " Chen Banding was very angry with the young man's arrogance and impatience, so he imitated Zhang Daqian's Sichuan accent and said, "You know, what do you know?" Chen Banding thought, I haven't opened all my picture books yet. How did you know?
But at this moment, Zhang Daqian unhurriedly told us what was painted on the first page of this album, what was painted on the second page, what kind of title was used, and what kind of seal was used. Chen Banding and other painters listened to Zhang Daqian's paintings and leafed through the picture books? , to check, found that chang was not bad.
Chen Banding and all the painters were very surprised. Chen even dropped his glasses while watching. The painter Huang Junbi asked Zhang Daqian in surprise: "How do you remember it so clearly?" Zhang Daqian's answer surprised everyone even more. He proudly said, "I painted this album. Why don't I know? " It turns out that this album was one of Zhang Daqian's previous works that copied Shi Tao's painting style. It has been lost for many years and somehow spread to Chen Banding. Zhang Daqian's copying skills and high-level painting skills actually deceived the eyes of a generation of Chinese painting masters and doyen Chen Banding. Zhang Daqian became famous in the painting world.
As a master of calligraphy and painting, Zhang Daqian's special feature is that he learns from the law without being rigid, and has achieved his own style. He combined the calligraphy and painting of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and formed his own realm, so that he was praised by Xu Beihong as "the first man in 500 years".
Painter Ye said, "Zhang Daqian is the most diligent of all painters in China. He presented all the paintings of the ancients for more than ten times. " Shen Fu, a connoisseur and historian of calligraphy and painting, said of Zhang Daqian: "He is pulling out a hair on himself. If he wants to be Shi Tao, he will be Shi Tao. If he wants to become eight, he will become eight. If he wants to be Tang Bohu, he will be Tang Bohu. "
So Zhang Daqian's fame began with imitation. But if he only imitates famous paintings, it is not enough to make Zhang Daqian go to the altar. Instead, he created a splash-ink landscape, formed an exclusive brand, and created a personal style, so that everyone can better remember him.
