Wu Changshuo keeps pace with the times.

Wu Changshuo likes plum blossoms, which can often be found in his poems, paintings and seals. Self-proclaimed "Mei Zhiyin, a bitter railway man, portraying flowers as a long skill" and engraved with the seal of "Plum Blossom Finger". This is not only the attachment to things, but also Mei's proud snow in Ao Shuang, a lofty and aloof feeling. It may also be related to his initial contact with painting and learning to draw plums. When Wu Changshuo was young, he studied plum blossoms with his teacher Pan, and after middle age, he studied plum blossoms with Ren Bonian. Ren Bonian suggested that Wu Changshuo, who is well versed in seal cutting and calligraphy, use seal cutting and brush strokes to draw plum blossoms.

▲ Wu Changshuo, a middle-aged teacher, studied painting with Ren Bonian, which is his masterpiece during his painting period. Circle plum blossoms with light ink, the beads are round and smooth, the branches are interspersed, and the ink color is suitable. The picture is quiet, fresh and elegant. Compared with the dripping and wanton in old age, it has its own charm of being washed away. Self-titled "chicken worms gain and lose, have nothing to worry about, life is really ephemera." In your eyes, you will guard the plum crane, and your drinking water will be independent for a long time. "

There are two ancient bronzes in the picture, Zhao Ding on the left and the famous Hui Ding on the right.

Antique flower screen

▲ This screen is a freehand flower, peony, wisteria, old boys and red plum, depicting the changes of the four seasons. According to the painter's own topic, Zhang Menggao, Da Zhongguang and Luo Pin are invited to write, but the pen and ink are bold and unrestrained, the lines are old, and the colors are rich and gorgeous, which is really the true colors of Yan Weng. This screen was made in the last year of Wu Changshuo's eighty-four, but it shows no signs of decline. It is full of real strength and mellow elegance, and it is a masterpiece of his later years.

Regarding Wu Changshuo's calligraphy, he wrote a sentence in the poem Lu Luji: "I have read the tablet and held the ten-sided stone drum. "His calligraphy is rooted in the stone drum and the Han tablet in the pre-Qin period, thanks to Shi Guwen's brushwork and the courage and tolerance of the Han tablet, which has become the two pillars of Wu Changshuo's calligraphy. Wu Changshuo's calligraphy is not restricted by legislation, and it is innovative on the basis of tradition. The seal script is also a cursive script, seeking the meaning of seal script in cursive script. As Sha Menghai said in Mr. Wu Changshuo's Calligraphy, cursive writing is naturally unpretentious and rapid. Although it is a sketch, it is overwhelming.

▲ The Stone Drum Screen is Wu Changshuo's latest work. Its style broke through the mature period and recovered to the right. The pen is thick and moist, elegant and dignified, and enters the lofty realm of light, spicy, deep and light.

Influenced by Shanghai's "commercial and secular flavor", Wu Changshuo's paintings have become secularized and popular, and they are highly commercialized and popular in subject matter, subject matter, coloring and inscription, but this is only the expression of his painting style. In fact, his heart still adheres to the ideal of Confucian scholars to help the world, still maintains the feelings of traditional literati and still yearns for the realm of traditional painting.
