In calligraphy, Wang Duo is a versatile calligrapher with diverse styles. Whether it is the bold block letters, the simple block letters or his soaring cursive script, it should be said that they are all first-class in the late Ming Dynasty. Authentic texts are rare in Wang Duo's works, which originated in the Tang Dynasty.
In 1989, after the Qing Dynasty in Wang Duo, the calligraphy style became more mature and old-fashioned, and its weed technique was by going up one flight of stairs. Calligraphy has become the release of his psychological contradiction and loneliness, so his works have lost the momentum and enthusiasm of Chongzhen Dynasty and become rational and lonely.
Extended data:
Wang Duo was born in poverty and struggled to survive in years of famine and drought in Henan. After he became an official, he and Ni and Huang Daozhou were also called "three great trees" in Ming Dynasty. Of course, he wants to show his ambition in officialdom.
After Li Zicheng attacked Peiping, Wang Duo was appointed as a senior official for saving the axe king. Among the "three trees" in the Ming Dynasty, one rebelled against martyrdom and the other committed suicide, while Wang Duo chose to kneel, which doomed him to be rejected from now on. He has only one good word left. Can you use art to complete the breakthrough in the second half of your life? Fortunately, he did it.
Wang Duo died in Qing Dynasty at the age of 6 1 year. The last seven years were the most empty and depressing period in his life, but in these last seven years, he was drunk every day, which actually created another peak of China's calligraphy.
Of course, the popular cursive calligraphy is the best way to relieve inner depression. The reason why Wang Duo's calligraphy art can create a brand-new visual outlook since Wei and Jin Dynasties is mainly due to his profound calligraphy cultivation and profound understanding of calligraphy. He began to write the Preface to the Holy Teaching at the age of 16, and took the "two kings" as the imitation object all his life, and put forward the resounding slogan that "books do not follow the Jin Dynasty, but eventually enter the wild road".
This proposition was put forward in view of the popular Dong Qichang-style aesthetics in the late Ming Dynasty. That beautiful aesthetic style can represent the public's cognition of the "two kings". And Wang Duo must break this perception. Beauty and beauty are the "good" that most people know at a glance, but the "good" of the cursive script of "Two Kings" is difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of the hall.
