Wang Dafan's Life Experience

Wang Dafan is a descendant of Confucian merchants, and his ancestors taught them. Because of the war, my father lost his business and relied on his mother Lu to make a living. Wang Dafan studied in a private school for three years when he was a child. /kloc-I was an apprentice barber before the age of 0/3. 190 1 year, I went to Jingdezhen with my parents to take refuge in my sister's "Red Shop" and studied with my brother Wang Daping. After three years as an apprentice, Wang Dafan painted porcelain independently in her sister's shop. At this time, his sister hired Wang, a famous Hongxian porcelain painter and pale crimson painter at that time, to paint porcelain in the shop, which provided a learning opportunity. Wang is a representative figure of "literati painting" at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, especially his paintings of ladies. Wang made a living by painting paper fans in Hangzhou in his early years. His calligraphy was influenced by the "two kings" in Qing Dynasty, and his paintings came down in one continuous line with Fei and Sha Shanchun. Wang is only three years older than Wang, so he is easy to communicate. They have developed from friendship to mentoring. Wang not only teaches painting, but also teaches him poetry and songs. Under the guidance of Wang, he studied hard and made great achievements. 19 15,, Pangouyu, Wang, Zhou, their works were recommended by Jiangxi Porcelain Company and Jingdezhen Chamber of Commerce and sent to Panama Expo. Wang Dafan's pastel porcelain painting "Handcopied by Fu Gui" won the gold medal in Panama Expo, which was the only gold medal winner at that time.

1922, participated in the "Porcelain Art Research Association" initiated by Xu, the county magistrate of Fuliang County, with Wang as the vice president. From 1922 to 1924, * * has attracted more than 200 members, published more than 20 issues, and held many art exhibitions for teachers, students and members. In view of the deficiency of ceramic painting, the classic of China's painting theory "Lin Zhi" is used to improve the artistic accomplishment of artists in Hongdian and explore the development of ceramic art.. 1924, the research society was looted by warlords. Soon, 39-year-old Wang died of illness. After losing his teacher, Wang Dafan didn't feel depressed. Instead, he continued to work hard, practiced diligently and read widely, thus establishing his position in Jingdezhen porcelain art world. In order to devote himself to the creation and research of ceramic painting,

Wang Dafan and Wang Qi went to Shanghai in 19 16 to observe the works of marine painting school, and got to know Mr. Wu Hufan. During this visit, they respectively liked the painting styles of Luo Pin and Huang Shen among the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou. After returning to Jingdezhen, we often study, copy and discuss together, which has a growing influence. Chen An, the county magistrate of Fuliang County, wrote a "Amazing" plaque for their studio Tao Tao, and the two became famous from then on. 1, 928 1 month, a porcelain dealer wanted to collect two sets of eight-piece porcelain plates, which were used to paint landscapes, flowers and birds, figures and animals respectively. Wang Dafan and Wang Qi contacted eight porcelain artists, including Wang Yeting, He Yiren, Deng Bishan, Cheng Yiting, Bi Botao and Liu Yucen, to paint and formed the "Full Moon Festival", which is also called "Eight Friends of Zhushan". Soon, Bi Botao returned to his hometown to attend his funeral, and Deng Bishan died, so Xu Zhongnan Hotan Hexian was accepted as a member, which lasted until about 1940.

During the 39 years from 190 1 to 1940, the ceramic art in Wang Dafan has completed the transformation from ancient colors and patterns to traditional literati painting.

From1901-1920, he was deeply influenced by his master Wang, and the early paintings of ladies were in the same strain as Wang's paintings of ladies, both of which were fashionable in the late Qing Dynasty. For example, the image of a lady in The West Chamber and Wang's hunting map all belong to an oval face, a small cherry mouth and a thin waist. The style is very similar to that of Fei, Shashan Chunhe. It is based on the expression of ladies and gentlemen, with dramatic techniques as the expression, delicate brushwork and formal modeling. It has not yet reached the mature stage, but it shows Wang Dafan's persistent pursuit of art.

19 16. After Wang Qi and Wang Dafan returned to Shanghai to observe the works of marine painters, Luo Pin's painting style had a great influence on Wang Dafan. Compared with Luo Pin's paintings, Wang Dafan's paintings of supernatural figures are like re-creation. Learning the painting techniques of Wu Daozi, Chen Laolian and Ma Jingjiang in middle age can be said to have benefited a lot, learned from others and become a legalist. Later, Wang Dafan learned nutrition from Ma Tao's "Painting in Poetry", and Ma Tao seems to be able to get a glimpse of it from the "Test of Rich Life". At this time, Wang Dafan also created some porcelain works with Confucian thoughts and historical allusions, such as Tattoo of Mother-in-law, Mulan Joining the Army, Three Realms in Taoyuan, Three Heroes in the Wind and Dust, Holding Candles, Love Goose in Xihe River, Too White to Be Drunk, Saving the World with Wisdom, Song Ju's Legacy and so on. Among them, "Collecting Medicine to Help the World" tells the story of Tie Guai Li, the Eight Immortals, collecting Ganoderma lucidum from the mountains to heal human trauma. The picture shows steep mountains, numerous peaks and winding paths. Whether it is the shaping of characters or the composition of rocks, it gives people a strong visual feeling, and the content and form have reached a high degree of unity and harmony; "Smelling chickens and dancing" is one of Wang Dafan's favorite painting themes. Its accurate modeling pays attention to the sense of volume and the agility of wielding a sword, showing the beauty of elegance and strength. When Wang Dafan was young, he liked to play the piano and dance the sword, and he also liked to paint "Smelling Chicken Dancing" to practice writing. Before writing, he posed in front of the mirror and danced with a sword. After having a clear plan, he finished painting in one go. Drama Moon-Chengtian Temple is very mature in poetry, painting and calligraphy. "Play on-Chengtian Temple, Su Gong and the guests are idle. I know that thousands of years later, I am in the living room again. " This poem is naturally simple and profound. The atmosphere of "literati painting" is full of pictures, and the depiction of characters, the organization of clothing lines, the collocation of scenes and the composition of pictures are just right. Although Song Ju Still Exists is a part-time work, its character modeling and picture composition show that the author pursues elegance and elegance in expression and emphasizes freehand brushwork. The above works are enough to represent the artistic style and aesthetic characteristics of Wang Dafan's middle-aged paintings.
