—— wang hong, president of Heilongjiang University Senior Fine Arts Branch.
Wang hong, the current president of Heilongjiang University for the Aged in Fine Arts, is an upright, handsome, heroic, noble and rigorous artist of calligraphy, painting and seal cutting. He is also an excellent senior university president, a good president and a good teacher.
Wang hong, who just celebrated her 40th birthday, was smart and had a wide range of hobbies. Teenagers began to practice painting, and they were deeply obsessed with seal cutting in middle school. At that time, his family was difficult and he couldn't afford so many stones, so he asked a relative who worked in a plywood factory for some abandoned plywood to practice seal cutting. Rich social experience has shaped his strong character. At the same time, he also has the skills of studying and copying various inscriptions, which makes his artistic attainments by going up one flight of stairs.
In an interview, when the author asked him why he gave up medicine and started a university for the elderly, he said, "It is my greatest happiness to start a university for the elderly and serve the elderly. The elderly are a vulnerable group in society, a group that needs universal care from the whole society, and more needs humanistic care. " Because of his personal practice, he infected and inspired a group of promising young people to devote themselves to the cause of benefiting the country and the people by "learning, enjoying and supporting the old". In order to run the university for the aged well, he takes out more than 10 thousand yuan from his income every year to subsidize the shortage of running funds.
Wang Hong studied calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, seal cutting and other arts under the famous calligraphers Wang Tian and Wang Wenbin in his early years. He studied calligraphy and painting, seal cutting, and summed up in decades of artistic study: only by being modest and sincere, indifferent to fame and fortune, and studying seriously and conscientiously can he reach the peak of art. His extensive reading and mastery make his thoughts gradually unique and profound, and his art has become more and more exquisite since then. His works are endowed with natural talent, and ordinary books are mostly cursive and pen-lifting, with smooth lines and more modern calligraphy style. In his calligraphy works, no matter how big or small, he can manage them carefully and be good at arranging them to make them completely interesting. As a book is, a skilled painter and calligrapher must have comprehensive cultivation including knowledge in order to achieve superb artistry and extraordinary charm.
Appreciating wang hong's calligraphy and painting is really a very high artistic enjoyment. His calligraphy works are in various shapes and colors. Even if the same calligraphy style or Gu Zhuo is handsome or witty, they are familiar with it, and they are natural. His calligraphy shows the pursuit of novelty and different interests.
He believes that calligraphy art is the highest art, and calligraphy writing is to write about self, mood and artistic conception in the final analysis. The ancients said that "writing books to nourish qi and help qi". The subjective spirit expressed in calligraphy works makes people calm and refreshed, which is the highest realm of calligraphy. Therefore, Wang Hong's calligraphy, Chinese painting and seal cutting all emphasize temperament and momentum. He often said to senior students: "Words have eyes, poems have eyes, and calligraphy has eyes. The eyes lie in the most prominent temperament, momentum, which word, which sentence, what word he wrote, what sentence he expressed, and the layout of the article. "
Wang Hong's painstaking exploration of seal cutting calligraphy and painting and his true responsibility for art are his principles of being a man, painting and calligraphy, and valuing art over fame is the spiritual core of Wang Hong. As long as the work is good, no matter the author is young or old, he sincerely respects and admires it. When someone asks him for advice, he never hides his point of view, and takes pains to pass on what he knows and gains to others without reservation. This behavior has won the love of many elderly students, emphasizing that words don't look at people, which may be the reason why people call him a noble person.
