Wu Changshuo studied under Shen Zhou, Xu Wei, Shi Tao, Zhao and Ren Yi, and painted with epigraphy. He often takes plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, peony, lotus flower and narcissus as themes, and occasionally makes figure paintings.
Wu Changshuo is good at writing about Shi Guwen. He lived in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and he has a unique style, combining the essence of Zhejiang and Anhui. In addition, his Shi Guwen and seal cutting have played the role of "escort" for his paintings. Because Shi Guwen's pen is vigorous, simple and vigorous, Wu Changshuo's painting has the spirit of stone, his pen is as thick and prudent as forged iron, and the flowers in his works are graceful and restrained with rigidity and softness.
In composition, Wu Changshuo turned Shi Guwen into an oblique "tic-tac-toe" structure as the basis of composition, so his works tend to tilt from bottom left to right, and sometimes from bottom right to left. The branches and leaves are close, diagonally inclined, more stereoscopic and full of tension. In terms of color, Wu Changshuo often painted flowers in western red and leaves in thick green, yellow and burnt ink. The color is full and deep. In addition, Wu Changshuo's artistic personality is very distinct, because his pen, ink, inscription and seal are well coordinated.
"Peach Real Picture" is a picture that Wu Changshuo often draws for birthday celebrations.
This picture of a real peach was written by Wu Changshuo at the age of 72, and it is one of the four acts of Showing Gold.
It is known to imitate Zhang Cining's method.
In the painting, dried peaches float from the air, and a branch hangs from the upper right corner to the left. The big peaches on the branches are tired and fragrant. Wu Changshuo once said, "It is not easy to draw peaches. It takes skill to draw them well. " The whole painting is bold and unrestrained, flying freely, mixed with calligraphy pens, vigorous and powerful, deep and solid, showing the charm of Wu Changshuo's great freehand brushwork flowers.
The composition of this painting is dense, vigorous and unrestrained, which vividly shows the beauty of space. The leaves droop backward, the peaches are hidden, and the branches are interspersed and stretched, all of which are vivid and colorful, giving people the imagination space of the whole plant rather than the individual plant. On the right is straight from the bottom of the leaf and dragged to the end. The inscription is "The flower of burning peach is as beautiful as Chinese wine. Flowers bloom for three thousand years, stronger than fighting, and winter is Wuchang Shuo. " Line width is a firm and free running script, which complements the aftertaste of a dried peach in the air, holds up the picture, makes the density more perfect and adds poetry. In the upper left corner is the author's six fields: "Man Qian moved here, Lao Jian." Man Qian is the title of Dong Fangshuo, a writer in the Western Han Dynasty. Here, the author used the allusion that Dong Fangshuo ate the queen of the West Xiantao and lived a long life, which enriched the content of the picture.
In this painting, the color is thick red, but in simplicity, you can see Hanako. Splash ink on stems, branches and leaves; The huge red ripe peach is full of color and bright, giving people beautiful enjoyment.
His pen is integrated with the method of seal cutting, and he writes with a long front and a sheep hair hanging on his elbow. His brushwork is vigorous and powerful. Therefore, Wu Changshuo is the most outstanding person who paints with the meaning of books, and his calligraphy determines his painting nature. Since Wu Changshuo, China's paintings have been modernized.
