Chen Dayu's artistic achievements.
Chen Dayu's achievements are manifold. He has studied, Pan, Pan, etc. For a long time, he has participated in the calligraphy styles of Huai Su, Wang Duo, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi. Especially good at seal script and cursive script, the book is dignified and elegant, full of strength and interest; At the beginning of his seal cutting, he pursued Qin and Han Dynasties and was greatly influenced by Qi Baishi. He is skillful and clumsy, energetic and bright, and has his own style. Together with the achievements of painting, it is called the three wonders of contemporary "book, painting and printing". His achievements in painting are inseparable from his character, disposition and diligence, including his accomplishments in calligraphy and seal cutting. Only by combining these analyses can we see a comprehensive Chen Dayu.
His greatest contribution to freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting is to change the gentle charm behind traditional freehand brushwork literati painting into a modern feeling of unrestrained pride, and to develop China traditional freehand brushwork to a new height with his unique painting style.
Among contemporary freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painters, Chen Dayu thinks that Chen Dayu is the best, with the deepest qualifications and the highest achievements. Among the few old painters taught by Qi Baishi's disciples in those years, Chen Dayu stood on his own feet inside and outside his school with his unique features, and paid more attention to the interpretation of spirit likeness in the inheritance of alignment art.
Chen Dayu, like Mr. Baishi, not only captures the inspiration from real life, but also captures the theme endowed with artistic significance from ordinary life, and carries forward the creative spirit of realism. Moreover, he inherited the unpretentious temperament and fresh and smooth brushwork in Baishi art. Instead of simply copying Baishi's paintings, he focused on subjects he was interested in to hone his art, such as painting shrimp with Baishi, painting horses with sorrow and painting chickens, which are also famous in the painting world. The cock he painted is full of feathers, full of energy, swaggering and complacent, giving an inspiring impression. Chicken is not a bird that is difficult to draw, but what the painter likes is the result of the painter's observation and performance for many years. Of course, Dayu is not only good at painting chickens, but also good at painting pine chrysanthemums. His painting style is solid and full, full of momentum, full of pen and ink, full of new ideas. Although it belongs to literati's freehand brushwork, Chen Dayu's art should be the modern feelings of China literati in the 20th century, compared with the gentle charm of ancient literati.
In the final analysis, the achievements of great freehand brushwork painters are the result of the comprehensive effects of the painter's temperament, cultivation, kung fu, temperature, personality and sentiment. The reason why Chen Dayu's art can stay away from the secular world and attract many friends is the result of years of hard work. His freehand brushwork of flowers and birds is inseparable from the cultivation of calligraphy and epigraphy. Like Baishi, he is good at seal cutting and writing, and his calligraphy and epigraphy complement each other, which is especially rare among contemporary painters.
