Teenagers study in sichuan fine arts institute, such as Rick Fang and Liu Xianxing. Three years later, I went to Shanghai by boat and was admitted to Changming Art College founded by Wu Changshuo's descendants. In Changming Art College, I studied under Wang Yiting, Pan Tianshou and Zhu Lesan, known as disciples of Wumen. He and his friends founded Chengdu Oriental Academy of Fine Arts in Chengdu, served as the director and president of Chinese painting department, and hired Mr. Huang to give lectures in Sichuan. During the Anti-Japanese War, the school was dissolved due to the shortage of funds, and he made a living by selling paintings. Influenced by it, Shi Lu (Feng Yaheng), the founder of Chang 'an Painting School, who is ten years younger than him, attended the school and took the road of painting. Half a century later, his fate and painting skills are closely linked with Shilu. Without Feng Jianwu, Shilu couldn't be a painter. Without Shilu, Feng Jianwu might have been in the tradition all his life.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Feng Jianwu once bought paintings to run schools and wandered around Bashu. There is a poem that says, "The hoofs are all over the village, and ten thousand people hide in the sea." Sorrow, mountains and rivers streamer painting. But helping the golden soul to respect several couches, the wind shakes the dust and dreams and dances. Invasion of the chest, cold and warm, hurt the body, a "carefree thinking about the five lakes" showed his tracks and thoughts at that time. Before liberation, in addition to studying poetry at home, it was "learning painting for ten years and buying painting for ten years". He spent 20 years studying tradition and exploring the true meaning of art. From Shang Dynasty to Ming and Qing Dynasties, he studied the technical characteristics of Ma Yuan, Xia Gui, Li Sixun, Wang Wei, Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and explored the source of poetry, calligraphy and painting.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became a member of Chengdu Artists Association. His works "Soul of Castle Peak" and "Pentium" participated in the first art exhibition in Chengdu, and meticulous painting "Harvest of Vegetables" participated in the first national art exhibition from 65438 to 0954. This painting was later sent to Wen Xiu for exhibition. From 65438 to 0956, Southwest Academy of Fine Arts (sichuan fine arts institute) hired him to teach, which valued his profound traditional knowledge and skills. At school, he teaches four courses: landscape, poetry, calligraphy and seal cutting. Art teaching is intuitive, he can speak vividly, and teachers who draw in normal schools are naturally very popular with students.
His artistic development is always "sailing against the current". After he entered the tradition, he did not stick to the traditional city, but tried to seek new breakthroughs. From the 1950s to the early 1960s, academic thoughts were more active. Shi Lu led a large number of old, middle-aged and young painters who were enthusiastic about the reform of Chinese painting in An, and made diligent practice to explore the innovation of Chinese painting and "create new forms in line with new contents", thus creating a precedent for Chang 'an painting school. 1960 ——1961Feng Jianwu took advantage of the winter vacation to study painting with his younger brother Shilu in Xi 'an, and made innovations. At the same time, along the Qinling Mountains, through the Three Gorges to Wuhan, to Guilin and Yunnan to sketch, drawing more than ten paintings every month. It is not only a sketch of the scene, but also the absolute truth of the scene. Feng Jianwu also used this sketching method in teaching, which made students feel the freedom to control the object of description.
Feng Jianwu Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition was held on 1963, which is quite famous in Sichuan, Chengdu, Xi and Fuzhou. He finally broke through the barriers of one school, developed his own style based on sketch, and his personal style began to take shape. In a year or two, the style of painting suddenly changed, like a different person. In fact, it is the result of knowledge accumulation and cultivation improvement. Just like volcanic eruption, it has existed for many years. Once the time is right, generate will come out naturally.
Shi Lu explored a new painting language to express a new life with the idea of "extending one hand to tradition and the other hand to life". In order to express the landform of the Loess Plateau, Shi Lu wrote Song of the Loess Plateau, which is loose, similar and polluted. Feng Jianwu has visited Xi 'an many times and praised Shi Lu's thought that "life creates new ideas for me and I preach the spirit for life". Feng Jianwu has always followed the principle of "legal innovation". He opposes change for the sake of change. He regards the so-called pen-and-ink game-like "heart" as "wild fox Zen" and thinks that it is "rootless" and will not have vitality.
After the Cultural Revolution, he climbed Mount Huangshan and Mount Jiuhua and traveled all over Fuchun River and Xin 'anjiang River. Riding mountains and clouds, rivers and seas turning waves ... I am desperate for my life and feel comfortable when I come back. His poems on paintings truly reflect his loyalty to your art, and you know the mental state and creative enthusiasm of any era.
1Ten years before his death in February, 989, he endured the grief of "mourning ji zi after giving birth to me and before dying" and losing his younger brother Shi Lu. He devoted himself to his art and was invited to paint in Beijing many times. He once created a huge landscape painting with a width of four meters and a height of two meters for the United Nations Hall, and painted more than 100 for Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, the State Council and China National Painting Academy. His paintings are also presented to foreign friends as gifts of state leaders' visits, and his works are collected by China Art Museum, Chinese Painting Research Institute, Sichuan Provincial Museum, Jiangsu Provincial Museum and Shenzhen Museum. In the last few years of his life, he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Painting, writing, poetry, engraving, in addition to sorting out Feng Jianwu's poems, seal cutting, calligraphy, talking about art records, talking about poetry and other works, Feng Jianwu's paintings, landscape painting techniques and other books are also published.
Feng Jianwu's profound traditional strength is integrated with delicate charm, and his works "Huangshan Monkey Watching the Sea" and "The Moon Coming from the Flowing Stream" are representative works in this respect. Poetry, books, paintings and prints are handy, and they can be used for a long time and accidentally. His creative inspiration is endless, leaving a lot of masterpieces for contemporary China painting circles.
