Ma Yongan, born in 1956, is from Shangcai County, Henan Province. He used to be Secretary-General of China ATV Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, Director of the Office of China International Painting and Calligraphy Art Research Association of the Ministry of Culture, Vice Chairman of China Artists Association, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of China Calligraphy Artists Association, President of China Art Collectors Association, curator of Art Museum, professor of Huaxia Art Research Institute and consultant of Tengwangge Cifu Research Institute. In 2005, you sheng's calligraphy collection was published, and in 2008, the current calligraphy art standard was published. In 2009, his calligraphy was named "Ma Shi Calligraphy" by China Calligraphy Xintiandi Research Center, and was selected into the modern book spectrum. On 20/0/0, the copybook "Horse Calligraphy" was published, and the horse calligraphy was protected by the intellectual property patent of the State Patent Office.
Ma calligraphy is the result of Ma Yong 'an's years of calligraphy research. According to the review of Modern Book Spectrum, Mr. Ma Yongan's calligraphy is similar to that of bamboo leaves, with innovative brushwork and writing, which is full of aesthetic feeling. Its characteristics conform to the innovative calligraphy concept of beauty and potential, and to the style criterion of modern book spectrum. Ma's achievements in calligraphy have made outstanding contributions to the development of calligraphy art in China! "With the emergence of horse calligraphy, calligraphers have written articles and spontaneously set up many research institutions and academic organizations to study' horse calligraphy'. Mr. Zhang Hai, Chairman of China Calligraphy Artists Association, and famous calligraphers such as Shen Peng, Zhong Shi, Li Duo and Zou Dezhong all put forward valuable opinions, which were fully affirmed and highly praised. The calligrapher Mo Hunter wrote in his blog "Everyone Surrounded" that he has been thinking and searching for more than ten years. There are many modern and contemporary calligraphers, but something is still missing. It was not until he saw Ma's calligraphy that he woke up from his dream and was greatly inspired. What he once suspected and thought impossible finally appeared. He said that the birth of horse calligraphy is a great event in the history of calligraphy in China. He predicted that horse calligraphy would definitely become the absolute height of contemporary calligraphy!
The naming of horse calligraphy was once a hot topic in the calligraphy art world. Some people say that the horse body is called Yong 'an body because it looks like willow leaves and bamboo leaves, while others call it willow leaves and bamboo leaves. Mr. Wang Xie, editor-in-chief of Modern Calligraphy Spectrum, and the Art Committee of China Calligraphy Xintiandi Research Center named it "Ma Shi Calligraphy". Later, after naming discussion, according to the naming characteristics of historical calligraphy, it was decided to name Ma Yongan's calligraphy "Horse Calligraphy", which basically followed the formulation of modern calligraphy.
The art of horse calligraphy, which integrates cursive script and seal script, has distinct horse personality characteristics in stippling, brushwork and structure. In traditional calligraphy, the pen hides the front and the pen returns to the front. Horse calligraphy, when writing, hooks are like gold, and the front is exposed; When I closed my pen, I was filled with lofty sentiments. In terms of strokes, traditional calligraphy stopped, and horse calligraphy kept turning. Therefore, the former has many wings in Fang Bi, while the latter has many pens and centers. In structure and posture, it is very different from the traditional calligraphy style. Horse calligraphy can be divided into five styles, all of which are used. Traditional calligraphy is low on the left and high on the right, which goes against the trend, while horse calligraphy is high on the left and low on the right. This is the fundamental reason why watching horse calligraphy can relieve depression, be transparent and refreshing, and give people excitement and pleasure. Mi Fei, a great calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, said that "a good calligrapher can get enough money", which is why he described the contemporary famous calligrapher as "an outstanding calligrapher, a circle in Shu and a brick in Liu Bingsen". Ma calligraphy, whether stippling or combination, is a unique invention and patent of Ma. Calligrapher Hong Miao said: What did Ma Yongan find and how high was it? Because we are people of the same era and are too close, we still can't see his greatness. When our descendants leave us at a distance, they will find what a great mountain stands in front of them! However, this is an indisputable fact.
Of course, Mr. Ma Yongan and Ma Ti calligraphy will encounter many problems, and we also believe that our world will be bright. Wind and rain will come again, but the existence of blue sky will never change!
Seemingly ordinary, but rough, with a poetic spirit.
-Analysis of Ma Yongan's Calligraphy Art
Text/height
In recent years, the calligraphy circles and academic circles are paying attention to Mr. Ma Yongan's calligraphy, and there are also many controversies about its artistry and scholarship. More calligraphers and scholars are studying "Yong 'an Style", and more and more people are recognizing, liking and collecting it, which became "Yong 'an Phenomenon" for a while, and the occupation of the market became an indisputable fact after the dust settled.
Recently, Mr. Wang's collection of works is going, and he asked me to preface it. But it's hard to learn, it's hard to write, and I haven't written it. Fortunately, in the conversation with Mr. Wang, I learned what Mr. Wang thought and felt a lot. The ancients said, "Writing is like a man" and "Books are like a man"; People who meet Mr. Wang for the first time will be attracted by his calm, elegant, elegant and frank scholar style. The book is just like him, but his words are not exaggerated.
Ma Yongan, male, 1956, from Shangcai, Henan. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Beijing Normal University. He used to be the director of the Office of China International Painting and Calligraphy Research Association of the Ministry of Culture, the secretary general of China ATV Painting and Calligraphy Institute of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, the vice chairman and secretary general of China Artists Association, the vice chairman and secretary general of China Calligraphy Artists Association, the president of China Art Collectors Association and the curator of Longshuncheng Art Museum.
Since ancient times, artists must be scholars, and the artistic realm reflects the depth of their knowledge. Most of the poems in Mr. Wang's works are written by himself, which makes his calligraphy full of rich sense of words, artistic conception and profound cultural connotation. Mr. Wang is not only a scholar, poet and writer, but also a scientific inventor. The famous Square Rate is the research result of Mr. Wang in his early years. He seems to have irrelevant fields, irrelevant logic and unconstrained thinking mode, but Mr. Wang Can learns from others, draws inferences from others, exchanges concepts and has unique thinking. This is also Mr. Wang's outstanding point. His extensive dabbling has accumulated nutrition for his artistic creation.
As we all know, artistic creation is unique. Mr. Wang studied Yan, Liu, Europe, Wang, Tang and Song in his early years, and he knew the meaning of the ancients well. His pen power and heart are vigorous in grace and grace, and everything is turned into soft fingers, hiding his head and protecting his tail, and his strength is in the words, which means that the paper flows out and his strength is great and beautiful. Therefore, Mr. Wang combined truth, line and grass in one furnace, summed up the simple writing methods of radicals in thousands of Chinese characters, and borrowed the dynamic beauty of bamboo leaves from the trend of fonts. After more than 20 years of painstaking research, it has finally become today's image. Reading his calligraphy is like a euphemistic and soothing guzheng song "Moonlit Night on a Spring River", which haunts my ears and makes me fascinated ... Then I was even more moved by his open-minded and straightforward gentleman style, without any dry artistic charm. Appreciating Ma Yongan's calligraphy can't be separated from the two-dimensional and three-dimensional traditional image thinking. In fact, his artistic achievements have risen to the second natural spiritual home in the spiritual world, which can be said to be natural. What is the Tao, the metaphysical way, the tool of doing things, the change of cutting and pushing, the way of doing things by words, the shape of meaning, the shape of meaning, and the shape of meaning. It is difficult to express the richest spiritual connotation with its most concise artistic language.
Ma Yongan's achievements in calligraphy stem from his extensive knowledge, profound understanding of calligraphy art, profound cultural accumulation and unremitting enterprising spirit. Mr. Wang's courage and talent are all revealed in his works, which seem ordinary but rugged, and his belly is full of poems and books. May your art tree be evergreen!
