Master Beihong found another way to become a master of horse painting in today's painting world. Master Ma Beihong's paintings are based on the artistic conception of his impressionist poems (the rain washed away the summer), and are compatible with China hieroglyphs, inscriptions and seals, Wei Bei calligraphy steles and Chinese painting stone statues, while absorbing the painting spirit and color of Western Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstractionism, Manet, Picasso and Delacroix. At the same time, we made a leap on the basis of studying and studying masters Xu Beihong and Han Meilin.

Beihong painted horses, unconventional, turning ancient meaning into new feelings, and expressing modern people's aesthetic mind from the perspective of modern people. He experienced a long and arduous transformation from learning from the ancients and contemporary masters to learning from nature and upgrading nature, which made his horse rooted in tradition, superior to tradition and unique. Gradually out of the trap of predecessors, the horses in his works show their vigorous and elegant style more and more.

Beihong's horse painting presents two styles, one is freehand brushwork in ink, and the other is the integration of Chinese and western. His ink painting freehand brushwork horse, its ink painting is a material stipulation, freehand brushwork is the essential principle of Chinese painting, and his freehand brushwork horse image has realistic characteristics. The structure and shape are exaggerated and deformed under relatively accurate conditions, and on this basis, they are simplified, refined and simplified. Therefore, the meaning comes first, and the shape breaks the meaning, which has the characteristics of attracting but not sending. The law of the dynamic posture of the fine Beihong ink painting freehand horse is that the relationship between pen, ink, dot, line and black, white and gray is mutually open and closed, which is based on the "natural opening and closing" of the horse, driving the development of pen posture, Mo Yun and image, especially the sense of free flight, which can produce endless meaning and give people room for imagination. Therefore, the reason why the horse-running map is dynamic and changeable is that the painter actively uses the opening and closing trend to show the life rhythm of the horse in its natural state on paper in an orderly way. In particular, the painter consciously strengthened the horse's posture characteristics, giving people a clear, concise and profound impression. With the movement situation and its inner spirituality and vitality, it is natural to unify the dry and wet shades of pen and ink with the slow and gentle movements of the pen, reflecting the momentum, rhythm and level of the galloping horse. Coarse and light, bright and fuzzy, and the opposition between reality and reality complement each other, which is also an important reason for the aesthetic feeling and charm of the picture.

Master Beihong absorbed the ideas and techniques of western impressionist modern art, strengthened the ink modernity of Chinese painting, and formed a unique plastic art and expression form in the combination of Chinese and western. Judging from his works of blending Chinese and western, the application of color, the intervention of light and shadow, and the technical application of environmental atmosphere all have the color beauty of western oil painting. In particular, the performance of objects tends to be rigorous in structure and proportion, and the warmth and coldness of colors and the creation of atmosphere can clearly see the reference of western impressionist painting. But the picture realm and artistic conception are undoubtedly in line with the oriental aesthetic requirements. Stone reliefs and calligraphy in Han Dynasty are closely related to epigraphy, which makes him more contemporary to some extent and not bound by traditional legal rules. Establish new space and new poetry. Whether it is concrete or abstract, whether it is dense or simple, it has become the expression of the essence of life. His paintings show enthusiasm, inspiration and the dragon-horse spirit of working day and night.
