Calligraphy works are realistic and concrete calligraphy individuals, and calligraphy is a concept abstracted from thousands of works. The value of calligraphy is mainly reflected in the cultural and spiritual level of social people, and it is also a macro-abstract system. For example, it can be said to be the essence of culture, the carrier of humanity, the crystallization of art, etc. The value of calligraphy works also exists on both the spiritual and material levels.
① In terms of culture, calligraphy is used to interpret the essence.
Chinese characters are symbols of civilization, and calligraphy is ultimately a cultural art. The history, genres, and characteristic styles of calligraphy's own development are all interpretations of historical society and present humanistic landscapes. This makes calligraphy works have historical and humanistic values ??in addition to aesthetic value.
②In terms of senses, it provides artistic edification and spiritual enjoyment. The beauty of calligraphy is the basic driving force for its creation and inheritance. If calligraphy could not contain beauty and use beauty to attract and impress people, there would be no Chinese calligraphy. Not only that, seeking and exploring the beauty of calligraphy is also a perpetual engine that guides and promotes the development of calligraphy art. Some of the so-called modern masters in the contemporary era create ugly calligraphy and weird calligraphy, which is completely contrary to the historical laws of calligraphy and will be eliminated sooner or later.
③ In the market, art commodities are rare items.
The market for calligraphy and painting has lasted for thousands of years. The artistic attainments and strength of the work itself, as well as the author's prestige and fame, have all been condensed into marketable values ??that can be priced, filling the calligraphy market and exhibition counters. Many calligraphy friends are not convinced by celebrity calligraphy, but since ancient times, the value of calligraphy works has increased with the fame of the author.
A brief discussion. The illustrations are Baoyong's pen exercises.
Calligraphy creation is closely related to the subjective and objective world. When writing, the use of brushwork, calligraphy, composition, and ink, as well as the size, curvature, speed, moistness, shade, hardness, and softness of the brush in the process of using it. Density, avoidance, echo, etc. are all the reproduction of life rhythms such as personal emotions and cultivation.
The most representative beauty of Chinese calligraphy is cursive script, and the most beautiful one is naturally cursive script. But cursive script also includes Kai Cao, Li Cao (Zhang Cao), and even Seal Cursive script. Because it can best express people's emotions and the rhythm of life, it is especially favored by calligraphy enthusiasts.
