The efforts behind the success of those celebrities tell us that only by working hard can miracles happen. The following are the stories of Chinese and foreign painters I have compiled, hoping to help you!
Zheng Banqiao helps poor painters.
Zheng Banqiao was a famous painter, calligrapher and writer in Qing Dynasty, and one of the famous "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".
Once, Zheng Banqiao was wandering in the street. Because he was good at painting, he was very happy to visit the painting shop. When he walked into a small painting shop, he found one of his paintings hanging in the shop for sale. He was very surprised because his paintings have never been sold in this shop.
Obviously, this is a fake painting, and Zheng Banqiao hates it when others use his signboard to deceive people around him. But it's not easy to remember who opened the store. Instead of blaming him, he bought the painting and left.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper reminded me by the way: "Sir, if you like Zheng Banqiao's paintings, I can provide you with some more in a few days." A few days later, Zheng Banqiao came to this small shop again and found another painting of himself hanging in it.
Of course, this is another fake painting. Zheng Banqiao deliberately asked the shopkeeper, "Why this? Didn't you say there were several? " Knowing that he met a big buyer, the shopkeeper happily led Zheng Banqiao to the back room to choose a painting. Zheng Banqiao saw a vivid painting on the wall, and he appreciated his master's painting ability very much.
After reading it for a while, Zheng Banqiao smiled and said, "Although my paintings are good, it's a pity that they are all fake." Say that finish, he took out his seal from the body, to prove to his master that he is the real Zheng Banqiao. Hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly knelt down and made amends to Zheng Banqiao.
Zheng Banqiao asked the shopkeeper, "You draw very well, why don't you write your name?"
The shopkeeper said with shame, "I'm just a nobody." No matter how good I draw, no one will buy it. Even if someone buys it, they can't sell it. " Besides, I support this family by selling paintings! "After listening to the owner's words, Zheng Banqiao felt sorry for him and decided to help the unknown painter, because his painting skills were not worse than his own. More importantly, this person is forced by life to do so.
On this day, Zheng Banqiao held a grand banquet and invited many celebrities. During the dinner, he introduced the shopkeeper to everyone and said modestly that the shopkeeper was the first teacher who learned to draw when he was a child. Zheng Banqiao also asked the owner to paint on the spot, and the owner's wonderful and skilled painting skills won applause from everyone in Chen chen. After that, people rushed to buy paintings in the owner's shop. The shopkeeper's fame is increasing day by day, which not only makes him famous, but also helps his family get rid of poverty.
Qi Baishi became famous in his later years.
Qi Baishi was born in poverty, did farm work, worked as a carpenter, and then made a living as a folk painter. At the age of 57, Qi Baishi came to Beijing, lived in Fayuan Temple and made a living by selling paintings. One of his fans is priced at two silver coins, which is half cheaper than the usual price of ordinary painters, and few people care about it. It can be seen that Qi Baishi's career at that time was very lonely, and his life was so bleak!
One day, in a neglected occasion, Mei Lanfang exchanged a few pleasantries with him, which saved him a little face. Grateful for this, he went back and painted a picture to Mei Lanfang, and wrote an inscription: "Now I am reduced to Chang 'an, but fortunately Mei Lang knows my name. "It can be seen that Mei Lanfang can't change Qi Baishi's position in painting.
After Qi Baishi met Chen Shiceng, his artistic career changed. Although Chen Shiceng was younger than Qi Baishi 13 years old, he was famous all over the world at that time and was an important representative of literati painting innovation after Wu Changshuo. He encouraged Qi Baishi to form his own system as soon as possible and take the road of artistic innovation. So Qi Baishi began the "declining year reform". In his own words: "It is difficult to clean up every case, and it will not change if it is not closed for ten years."
From 1920 to 1929, he made a bold breakthrough in "ten years behind closed doors" and made great efforts to explore, and finally "swept away Van Gogh" and changed his face. He can stand on his own feet in the history of art, however, he still has few intimate friends in Beijing. As he himself said, "Only Chen Shiceng knows my painting."
Chen Shiceng died young in 1923. Qi Baishi lost his only confidant and was criticized by his peers. Conservatives in Beijing painting circle denounced Qi Baishi's paintings as "wild fox Zen", "tacky" and "indecent", and they tried their best to attack them.
But there is hope in despair. In the last year of "closed door for ten years"-1929, Qi Baishi was recognized by Xu Beihong, who had just arrived in Beijing, and found Qi Baishi after the "declining year reform" at a glance. Qi Baishi was 66 years old at this time. In Xu Beihong's view, Qi Baishi is definitely a master of painting. In the clamor of the opposition, Xu Beihong shouted: Qi Baishi "created nature wonderfully"; Qi Baishi's paintings are "to the public and exquisite" ... Xu Beihong not only posted Qi Baishi's scheduled paintings at the exhibition to enhance his position, but also compiled a collection of paintings for Qi Baishi, personally prefaced them and sent them to Shanghai for publication. In addition, Xu Beihong also invited Qi Baishi to be a professor at the Beijing Institute of Art, where he is the dean, and personally drove Qi Baishi to school. Xu Beihong said to the students, "Qi Baishi can be compared with any painter in history. He can be your teacher or my teacher. "
Qi Baishi once said in a letter to Xu Beihong, who is 32 years younger than himself: "My parents know me!"
Why on earth is this? There is a simple reason. Qi Baishi's fame is mainly due to Xu Beihong's wisdom and support.
Van Gogh painted sunflowers.
Van Gogh, a famous painter, came from a poor family and could only buy cheaper yellow pigments to paint. He likes painting flowers very much, so he went to look for flowers of different colors and finally found sunflowers. He put the sunflower in a vase and drew it. He found that sunflowers are not all facing themselves, some are upward, some are downward, and some are left and right. He realized a truth: flowers are open to everyone and will not smile at one person forever. Van Gogh became more and more interested in painting. He painted many pictures in succession and became good friends with sunflowers.
Once, the sunflowers painted by Van Gogh participated in an art exhibition. Everyone was surprised when they saw it and said, "The flowers we painted are always for ourselves, but the flowers painted by Van Gogh are for all of us. I admire you! Admire! " From then on, Van Gogh's Sunflower became the world famous paintings.
The armless painter Duzner is a disciple.
One day, the famous French painter Ji Lei attended a banquet. At the banquet, a short man came up to him, bowed deeply and asked him to be an apprentice. Ji Lei glanced at the man and found that he was a cripple without two arms. He politely refused him and said, "I don't think it's convenient for you to draw?"
But the man didn't care and immediately said, "No, I don't have hands, but I still have two feet." As he spoke, he asked his master to bring a pen and paper, sat down on the ground, and drew with the strokes between his toes. Although he painted with his feet, his painting is good, which shows that he has worked hard. The guests present, including Ji Lei, were moved by his spirit. Ji Lei was very happy and immediately accepted him as an apprentice. Since he became a teacher with Ji Lei, this short man has worked harder and became famous all over the world in a few years. He is the famous armless painter Duzner.
