Calligraphy and painting appraisal skills;
(a) the style of the times:
Each painting and calligraphy work has its own unique style of the times, which is closely related to the politics, economy, living customs and material conditions of the times. For example, landscape painting does not pay attention to scale from the beginning, and "people in Yamanoe can't drown water" is its characteristic of the times. Therefore, the early landscape paintings mostly absorbed the overall shape, and it was not until later that the painter realized that nature could be abbreviated in the box in proportion, and the framing began to develop locally.
Calligraphy is the same. From the literary point of view, whether it is poetry or prose, the use of vocabulary, the narrative of deeds, the expression of thoughts and feelings, etc. , you can see its style of the times. In addition, the format of letters and pictures of paintings and calligraphy are also helpful to identify paintings and calligraphy.
(2) the artist's personal style:
Personal style is usually much more specific than the style of the times, and artists' thoughts, personalities, aesthetics, habits and even tools have their own characteristics. The brushwork, lines, composition and appearance of characters all reflect the author's personal style.
In particular, the identification of modern works is similar from the dry era, and personal style is particularly important. "Memorizing 180 painters and 98 calligraphers" means understanding the history and culture, memorizing the names, figures, nicknames, experiences, characters and painting characteristics of famous painters and calligraphers in past dynasties.
