Calligraphy image:
Judging from the dispute of calligraphy aesthetics, the key is right? Image? This word has a completely different understanding. Many people are used to image? Concrete? So, what about the explanation of meaning? . Artistic image? Was quietly transformed into. Specific artistic image? All kinds of misunderstandings are caused by this.
Of course, there is a reason for this misunderstanding? Since the subject of aesthetics was established in China, it has been settled before it can fully absorb all kinds of rich nutrients? Beauty in life? 、? Beauty is a reflection of life? Bound by stubborn beliefs. As a result, abstract beauty has become a forbidden area. Speaking of image, how about it? Vivid and flying? Vivid? Art has become a means to imitate life, but the status of subject is sinking day by day. Once this prejudice is coupled with political influence, its invincibility is beyond doubt. The classical character of China's calligraphy makes it unable to find a suitable position in the western aesthetic framework with strong colors; However, the western classical oil painting and the realism criterion of the big brother of the Soviet Union make the curtain imitation theory flood the art world, and everything in visual art is on an equal footing with painting, while painting has to be on an equal footing with realism under political pressure. Why? Image? Must be specific? Vivid? Abstraction is decadent, and calligraphy is feudal. Of course, we must yield to concrete images-at least in theory. It is conceivable that if the visual art of modern China is not based on classical realistic painting, it should start from oriental calligraphy and western architecture and music, right? Image? Our understanding will certainly not be so narrow.
However, the abstraction of calligraphy image (Chinese character image) exists objectively and cannot be changed. Therefore, it is meaningless to use a rigid theoretical framework. Calligraphy once had a moment of figurative period-from abstract painted pottery symbols to hieroglyphics and then to the reflection of inscriptions on bronze, which was an abstraction. The process of concretization and re-abstraction. In this process, the concrete pictographic stage plays the role of process, means and media rather than the ultimate goal. It is also a visual image-not a concrete image, but an abstract image. The former is manifested in scenes, plots, gestures and expressions of characters. The latter is represented by lines, dots, blocks and blanks. Calligraphy is visible, but it is more attracted by the charm of the latter. Of course, it is not spotless. After a brief hieroglyph, the abstraction of calligraphy is no longer imaginary, but obviously has a rich personality in the modeling space. It is this kind of confusion that once went to concretization that helped it establish an abstract but not simplified modeling vocabulary. In contrast, other abstract arts are dwarfed by laws and constraints, so they are much inferior in expressing vocabulary.
Colorful abstraction: abstraction is the basis of modeling; It is the intuitive effect of the visual image of calligraphy; It is the conclusion of calligraphy form. We don't look for any natural shape in calligraphy works, but we can use it as a metaphor. We are more interested in the intersection of points and lines, blank cutting and composition, rhythm, three-dimensional sense and three-dimensional space. Beginners who have not received plastic arts training may not be able to master these things. They can start with stippling structure, but in the end they must come down to these contents. The external image of nature is dazzling, but the internal image contains these visual laws. The abstraction of calligraphy directly tells people that it only sticks to these rules and is not interested in the expression of nature.
Someone once thought: calligraphy is a kind of? Image art? It is neither abstract nor concrete. Admittedly,? Elephant? And subjective? Meaning? , is a subjective image, which is also in line with the reality of calligraphy. But as a definition, I think it is still very doubtful. We usually use it? Image? The premise of the word "intangible but tangible" is that some descriptions in poetry outline very specific images but cannot be seen directly, which is due to subjective structure. The image of calligraphy is tangible and does not need to be understood or reproduced by imagination. So, what is calligraphy used for? Image? This word is not appropriate. From the home of calligraphy. Visible with images, invisible with images. Both are abstract and concrete. Calligraphy is an abstract image, and painting (realism) is a concrete image; In poetry? At the end of the song? It is an abstract image. The desert is lonely and straight? It belongs to concreteness, and this classification must be clear at a glance.
The complexity of calligraphy image mainly lies in its comprehensiveness, which is neither concrete nor objective, nor unrestrained; There are both strong subjective intervention and annotations. Meaning? , but it is directly visible and not limited to? Image? Need to be supplemented and improved; Its modeling vocabulary is only dotted, but it is rich in modeling factors (this is obviously due to? Pictographic? The benefits of the stage), but we should grasp these two opposing main aspects: abstraction, spatial regulation and direct visual form.
