Characteristics of Qi Baishi's Painting
1, play with the ink
Interest in ink can be divided into two parts: "ink feeling" and "color interest" Qi Baishi's pen and ink are free and easy. Qi Baishi changed the style of pen and ink pursued by literati and painters in past dynasties, such as chic, concise, elegant, evacuated, cold and wild, and turned to dignified, simple, mellow and bold pen and ink.
He often uses concise pen and ink to express his feelings, either alone, or in contrast, or in harmony, giving full play to the contrast and compatibility of ink colors.
"Color interest" in Qi Baishi's painting, Qi Baishi boldly introduced the color elements of folk art in color application, and integrated the color application of folk painting art with the simple flower-and-bird painting of traditional literati, thus giving his painting color a brand-new freehand brushwork method and making the color of the picture more warm and pure.
2. The application of virtual reality.
Qi Baishi made the best use of the combination of reality and reality in his life. He often uses a lot of blanks in his paintings to contrast with ink, which can attract the attention of the audience. In Qi Baishi's works, although there is no pen and ink in the blank, in fact, this blank still has a certain area or a specific shape, which symbolizes something specific.
When painting, Master Qi Baishi fully practiced the painting theory of "containing the most items and using less pens" advocated by China's painting ancestors. It follows the principle of the combination of reality and reality, takes one stroke as ten, and shows the poetry of "being outside the image, meaning the image" with a few strokes, giving the viewer unlimited imagination. This kind of imaginary white brings us far more reverie than the real pen, which can be called a magical realm.
3. Exquisite and popular * * *
The aesthetic characteristics and concepts of folk art, such as simplicity, distinctiveness, boldness, frankness, health and liveliness, deeply infect Qi Baishi's painting creation, which makes his works not only successfully inherit and inherit the literati painting method of the ancestors, but also pursue this feature of folk art, which can be loved by the broad masses of the people.
Qi Baishi abandoned some negative things in traditional literati painting and folk art, inherited and absorbed some essential elements, and expressed people, things and things familiar and loved by ordinary people with concise pen and ink language, thus gaining the love and praise of people of different classes and identities.
