During the meeting, Mr. Chen's outstanding Chinese paintings won high praise from the leaders of the national art world and many famous painters and painters.
Faith can move mountains. As Mr. Chen who has been immersed in China's traditional calligraphy and painting for more than half a century, it is not surprising that he has achieved today's "achievements"! In 1950s, when he was a teenager, his paintings were published in China Youth Daily! 13 years old, in his hometown of birth, he held the most important personal painting and calligraphy exhibition of "Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea" in his life.
His publications include Chen Guo's Painting Collection, China Contemporary Powerful Painter: Chen, Contemporary Artist: Chen, chinese comic Pioneer Horse, Dou Lu's Appreciation of Painting and Calligraphy, and Dou Lu's Selected Poems. His biography has been selected into more than 40 dictionaries, including Classic Chinese Painting, Collection, Collector, China Painting and Calligraphy, Who's Who of Chinese Painting, and China Dictionary of Contemporary Artists.
Looking at Jin Yan's old Chinese paintings, especially his most proud landscape paintings. In an eye-catching moment, you will feel a kind, quaint and peaceful, which is also mixed with a kind of deja vu and a bit weird Zen. Landscape painting is an important branch of Chinese painting, which was formed in Sui and Tang Dynasties and reached its peak in the Five Dynasties. Among them, Hao Jing, Guan Tong, Dong Yuan and Ju Ran formed different genres according to their respective creative techniques. In the Song Dynasty, China's landscape painting reached the golden age, and the works handed down from generation to generation in this period became the cultural treasures of the Chinese nation. The development of literati painting in China, especially the combination of traditional poetry and calligraphy, has taken a big step forward from landscape painting in Yuan Dynasty, and there have been great painters in the history of painting, such as Huang Zijiu, Ni Yunlin, Zhenwu, Dai Jin, Wen Zhiming, Shi Tao, "Four Kings", "Eight Schools of Jinling" and "Xin 'an Painting School" and so on. /kloc-Since the 20th century, the masters of art, represented by Qi Baishi and Huang, have integrated poetry, books and paintings, forming a diluted, elegant, distant and profound artistic conception, and they have taken the lead in getting out of the trough of China's landscape painting creation, both in technique and creation.
Looking at Jin Yan's old landscape painting creation track, as Guo said in the Song Dynasty: "Painting landscapes cannot be confined to one family, but must be eclectic, so that I can be my own home and then get it." He is intelligent and studious. In addition to his scholarly family, he studied and painted in his childhood, that is, he practiced sketching, sketching and sketching. It is precisely because of his solid painting basic skills that his painting field is relatively extensive.
I studied painting in the past, from the Song and Yuan Dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty, and I also deeply studied the attainments of Huang, Zhang Daqian and Fu Baoshi in painting theory and painting method. He followed the mottos of famous philosophers and sages "reading thousands of books" and "taking the Wan Li road". Over the years, he has traveled all over the country with three mountains and five mountains and famous mountains and rivers. The so-called "nature of foreign teachers" and "the source of China's heart". He has always adhered to the principle that "Chinese painting is based on simplicity, but Jane does not scribble, let alone save trouble;" Jane is the extreme generalization of Chinese painting; This is precisely the difficulty of China's traditional landscape painting. We can integrate and concentrate the appropriate painting methods of past dynasties, so that the mountains and valleys in the pen can be absorbed, and then the essence of poetry, calligraphy and printing can be closely combined to form our own unique artistic language. This is the painter's character, knowledge and skill. "
Jin Yan is knowledgeable and enjoys high prestige in painting, calligraphy, painting, printing, cultural relics and other fields. But Mr. Wang doesn't ask Wenda, and his temperament is extremely cold. Everything is tepid and never eager for success. You can see the lines drawn by Mr. Guan. Mr. Wang uses a thread, walking back and forth, not sagging or shrinking, and never going back. When Mr. Wang paints with lines, he must strictly follow the way that the ancients used pens to seal seals. The steadiness of the Tang Dynasty, the change of mind in the Song Dynasty, and the calmness and elegance of the Yuan Dynasty are all expressed in calligraphy with strokes, and the grass seal is reproduced one by one. He often said that every line in landscape painting is transformed from the solid foundation of China's traditional calligraphy! At present, some painters seem to be slightly inferior in painting. Many authors often neglect to work hard on basic skills, even aim too high and are eager to achieve success. As a result, often get twice the result with half the effort, painting neither fish nor fowl, a mess. Teacher Wang does the opposite, is willing to work hard, really works hard, is open-minded and eager to learn, constantly pursues and constantly surpasses himself. He has told the author many times that he likes to recite a poem by the people of Xinluo Mountain, so as to constantly spur himself and motivate himself to "sweep away the dust in the world in the end, which can make the mountains and rivers look brand-new, and I also bow to the craftsmen, and the clouds are different."
How to make the picturesque landscape more beautiful and updated, how to make the real landscape in the works the same but different, the same but different from the ancients, and the same but different from the sages of modern philosophers, this is exactly the brand-new artistic pursuit goal set by Mr. Chen, who is full of artistic youth!
Calligraphy and painting pay attention to inner beauty, and only inner beauty can make people never tire of seeing it. The ancients said, "When you first see his paintings, you know their beauty without feeling their beauty." But you can't learn, and you don't feel eager to learn. This is the most beautiful and best painting. "The author's best friend, brother Chen Quanyong, a famous painter in Zhejiang, wrote a speech after reading Mr. Chen's painting collection sent by the author. I feel that brother Chen's writing is very pertinent and appropriate! " Brother Honglun, I have received the album. Thank you very much. Miss Chen is a local celebrity! As convincing as the four elders in Zhuji, Zhejiang. These works are appreciated by us. From the works in the album, we can read Mr. Jin Yan's traditional brushwork and cultural background. The pursuit of pen and ink, artistic conception and common people's understanding is an artist's heartfelt motivation. I don't advocate the beauty of painting, but the connotation of painting and a painter's personal thoughts. As a painter, what is your opinion on each painting? Advocate what? Show what? Reflect what? For example, Chairman Mao's "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom" and "Two Directions" give such works vitality. Although Mr. Chen's works are mostly landscape paintings, they are not green landscapes, but they have the flavor of Fu Baoshi and yellow. His pursuit, his ideal, is not to give people a hand over to treat? " .
