How to Analyze the Art Test Paper "Bamboo Stone"

Bamboo stone painting is an upright paper ink painting created by Gui Zhuang in Qing Dynasty, which is now in Tianjin Art Museum.

1. The lightness and heaviness of the whole picture are properly arranged, and bamboo poles, knots, branches and leaves run through. Bamboo poles are light with pens and distinct from each other. Bamboo leaves are painted with thick ink and light ink as new branches and leaves, which makes the uneven levels vivid and changeable. For example, the bamboo poles are tall and straight, the stalks of bamboo joints are crisp, and the yin and yang of bamboo leaves are very real.

2. Especially the hanging bamboo leaves on the right side of the lake stone vividly show the shape of bamboo in the still wind. The painter is also a calligrapher who is good at cursive script, so painting bamboo with pen and ink, just like writing calligraphy, is free and unrestrained, which shows that the painter's inner feelings and pen and ink skills are focused on painting the vivid image of bamboo.

3. The composition of the picture is very simple, only lake stones and several bamboo plants are drawn, showing a clear and ethereal realm. The lake stones are all double hooks, and the ink color smudges the yin and yang sides, which are distinct and three-dimensional. The whole painting is round and delicate, and the picture gives people a rich and beautiful feeling.
