The librarian of the History Museum. His works have participated in many major exhibitions at home and abroad, and held solo exhibitions in Singapore, Macao and other places, which have a wide influence. No matter flowers, birds, insects, animals or even paintings, they are all good. The characters are beautiful, agile and lifelike, and their ladies are especially gentle and charming, elegant and elegant, and won high praise. Born in 193 1. I like Dan Qing since I was a child, and I have been engaged in figure painting for a long time. I used to be the vice president of Suzhou Traditional Chinese Painting Institute. After 1990s, he devoted himself to animals. 1994 and held animal art exhibitions in Suzhou in 2004, which won favorable comments. He is especially good at painting tigers, with vivid pen and ink, smudged and traceless, sketched and brushed in one go, and the shape is accurate and realistic. His tiger painting is different from traditional techniques and unique, not only in shape, but also in color, so the tiger in his painting is lifelike on paper, not angry and arrogant, which is pleasing to the eye. Wu Han was born in 1936. 1956 graduated from Shanghai Xingzhi Art Normal School. He was a member of the seventh and eighth CPPCC and the editor-in-chief of Haha Pictorial of Children's Times Society of China Welfare Institute. Now he is a member of China Artists Association, a director of Shanghai Artists Association and a painter of Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Institute. He is good at figure painting, and his works have been exhibited in China, Hongkong, Singapore and Japan for many times. He has published Wu Han's Painting Collection, Alley Childhood and Book of Songs Painting Collection. His paintings, especially the figure paintings of operas, are very good.
According to you, a son who inherited his father's footsteps may have many examples in the history of painting. But few brothers are painters, all of whom have made great achievements and even become famous. China, a painter in Hangzhou, raised ten children, three of whom learned to draw from him. At that time, it was in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the world was difficult and life was bumpy. Even in this environment, he insisted on teaching Korean brothers poetry and painting, which shows how sacred China's painting and calligraphy art is in his eyes. Perhaps only in painting and calligraphy can we temporarily forget the troubles of reality and entrust our feelings; Perhaps as long as you are in calligraphy and painting, you can look forward to transcendental ideals and construct a daydream. To this day, Han Min still remembers his brothers taking turns to be models. "Teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow", but the Han brothers actually enjoyed it at that time, because under the influence of the artistic atmosphere, they had imperceptibly turned their father's will into their own interests. Although they are far from their lofty goals and lofty ideals, at least, the fun that painting brings them is sincere and natural. The feelings of life are accompanied by vicissitudes; The creation of art is inseparable from the feeling of contingency. The sketch book of that year has a different flavor today. After watching all the changes in the world, after watching the cold world, let's review such a life experience. Every sketch has become a precious page in life.
From beginning to end, painting has become a vital driving force in the lives of the Han brothers. Even in turbulent times, even in difficult years, even after decades of alienation from painting, it seems that brushes have a strong attraction to them, and it seems that new buds of art are constantly emerging in their hearts. In painting, they found a peach blossom garden where they can really trust their body and mind. If painting used to be a means for them to make a living, today, they are still diligent in this land of art, which has surpassed fame and fortune. They are enjoying life, enjoying life, enjoying art, and getting an emotional care and nourishment in painting. I wonder if their father has ever experienced this kind of enjoyment; This kind of enjoyment is exactly what the Han brothers can comfort their father. Everyone's life path is different, even brothers; Everyone's artistic path is different, even other disciples. The painting road, painting concept, painting method, painting language and painting style of the Han brothers all show their own styles and interests.
Han Cheng's figure painting pays attention to realism, painting one stroke at a time, and is quite satisfactory. The ancients said: painting is like a person. It's very appropriate to put this on Han Cheng. Honest and frank personality fully shows the characteristics of straightness, simplicity, non-flashy and non-pretentious in his paintings; However, his portrayal of the eyes, expressions and postures of the characters in the painting is still meticulous and meticulously shaped. Although it is a realistic work, it reflects its vivid and rich spiritual world by accurately portraying the image, which is in line with the fine tradition of figure painting in China. He used to be a creator of Shanghai People's Fine Arts Publishing House, engaged in the creation of comic books and New Year pictures, a member of the ninth CPPCC in Shanghai, and the president of Shanghai Painting and Calligraphy Research Institute. Now he is a member of China Artists Association, a director of Shanghai Artists Association and a librarian of Shanghai Literature and History Museum. His works have participated in many major exhibitions at home and abroad, and held solo exhibitions in Singapore, Macao and other places, which has a very wide influence. Han Min's paintings are fresh, smart and meticulous, elegant and popular; Whether it's flowers, birds, grass, insects or animals. And calligraphy, all good. This painting style, which originated from the early Shanghai painting tradition, made his paintings find many bosom friends in Shanghai. Maybe it's because of personality, maybe it's because of environmental influence, and it's more likely that both of them are both internal and external, which has made Han Min's unique painting style. In fact, while people marvel at his skill and keen artistic talent, few people know about his efforts in painting, which is a meticulous artistic habit practiced under strict to almost harsh requirements, and at the same time, he has developed perseverance and resourcefulness that he does not give up easily. Hanshan lived in Suzhou for a long time. More than ten years ago, as a figure painter, he began to create animal paintings. This is because he is not satisfied with his existing achievements and has entered a new field.
An attempt to explore, but also found that his gentle personality contains surging passion. His animal paintings are most famous and successful in depicting tigers. Different from the traditional painting method, Hanshan's tiger painting starts from realism, gets rid of many rules and regulations in traditional pen and ink techniques, and draws the real dynamic face of the mountain army through shading description, which is unique and refreshing. It is worth mentioning that, as a one-stop work of Xuan paper, the innovative significance of Hanshan's animal painting in the field of Chinese painting can be discussed and demonstrated in a special article; Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe Hanshan's animal paintings by forgetting fish. Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, Hanshan believes in a famous saying in artistic creation: Let the works speak. Wu Han, like Han Min, has long been a famous cartoonist and illustrator. His paintings are accurate in modeling and profound in skill. Although he, like Han Min, also got great inspiration from Chen Laolian and Ren Bonian, his creation still emphasizes the formal importance of writing gods, that is to say, his figure painting is subordinate to the requirements of depicting characters. If Han Min's paintings add a lot of romantic elements on the basis of realism, then Wu Han's works always show pragmatic essence in romantic places, such as his traditional opera figure paintings. Treat every painting seriously and rigorously, so that Wu Han's works will be unobtrusive and careless, just like his life. He has remained calm and low-key since he became famous very early. This is his true side. "Some people say that the tiger I painted is not fierce. This is mainly because the concept of tiger is different. It is a long history to talk about the time when the tiger turns pale. What people see now is a careless tiger in the zoo. It is as cute as a panda and is regarded as a mascot. In fact, tigers seldom get angry. Generally speaking, a really powerful person doesn't need to intimidate others, and a domineering puppy barks at every turn. The king is easy to see, but the child is hard to stop. If you draw a tiger blindly, you will draw a tiger and a dog. Of course, a tiger is a tiger after all and will never lose its strength, even in various postures. After listening to Han Lao's words, it is really appropriate to savor his works and describe the tiger in his works with "fierce but not fierce".
"Han Lao, painting a tiger to this state, you must have a long history of painting a tiger, right? I didn't start painting tigers until I was fifty. " Han Lao smiled. "You start drawing tigers after fifty?" I couldn't help crying. In the conversation, Han Lao's unhurried tone often surprises people from time to time, but after listening to his explanation, you can't help but admire his extraordinary courage and unique insights.
Hanshan 193 1 was born in a Danqing family in Hangzhou, ranking third among ten brothers and sisters, so he was named Hanshan (III). His father Han Xiaomei is a famous figure painter in China. Influenced by their families, Hanshan and his brothers Han Min, Wu Han (5) and Han Shuo (10) loved painting since childhood, and received strict traditional and basic skills training, which laid a solid foundation for the rise of "painting four brothers in China and South Korea" in the future. However, among the four brothers, Hanshan is a "late bloomer". Due to the hardships and twists and turns of life, before 1986 transferred to Suzhou Traditional Chinese Painting Academy, he had been writing for 40 years, and he himself changed from a naive teenager with dark hair to a gentle elder. However, for a person who has reached the age of knowing his destiny, it is difficult to pick up his childhood dreams and return to his old job. However, Hanshan has the strength to refuse to accept the old age and give up. He likes to do challenging things. After returning to his old job, he did not follow the old skills of painting before, nor did he take the road of figure painting that he was familiar with, but chose animal painting that he was not familiar with as the main direction, which attracted a lot of suspicious eyes in the painting world at that time. But Hanshan doesn't care what others think. With his hands that have experienced too many hardships, he silently opened up his own artistic path. After he became famous, he said to people, "If I insist on painting figures and ladies, I will definitely not reach the level of painting animals today." Those who doubt him have to admire his wisdom and courage. As a painter, you should be able to draw anything. From the experience gained from painting tigers, Han Lao also included a series of animals such as monkeys, cranes, horses and cats in his own pen. When painting with ink, it is handy and lifelike, and it suddenly forms an animal kingdom, and Hanshan is undoubtedly the master of this magical country. 1994, Hanshan held his first solo exhibition in Suzhou, which caused a sensation. At one time, it was a grand occasion that "the whole city was arguing about Han Hu", which was rare in the ancient city of Suzhou. Since then, Hanshan has held solo exhibitions in Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, Japan and other places, which have been highly praised by the audience and reported and introduced by many media. Now, after retirement, Han Shan spends almost all his time on the tiger. He said to me: I stopped writing for decades, and now I really feel that "the days of painting are very short." He also said that he hoped to draw more pictures and take more disciples in his lifetime ... It seems that I really want to go back to twenty or thirty years ago. But I believe that with Han Lao's indifference to fame and fortune and persistence in his career, his wishes will be realized one by one, and the painting circle in the ancient city will gain a provocative "tiger force" because of his efforts.
