The picture album is similar in function to the hand scroll (for the desk appreciation of elegant scholars), but its charm is slightly better than the hand scroll: the picture frame of the picture album is usually insufficient, and artists who are good at making the picture album are better than ordinary painters in cultural literacy and artistic skill. Although he only cut out a corner of nature when composing, he can create a wide and ethereal feeling and rich imagination space for the viewer, which makes the picture full of rich aesthetic feeling. It's really a world of flowers and leaves.
The elegant form of album pages and the richness of aesthetic effects are far more attractive than single works. If different authors create in the same album, they will have their own strengths and compete with each other; If only one author works alone, he will show it in Sri Lanka with 18 talents, and everyone will strive to be different from the aspects of theme content, composition modeling, color setting, pen and ink skills, etc., so as to achieve the artistic effect of continuous viewing.
The album is pressed normally, even if it is opened and closed continuously, it will not affect its mounting and collection effect. If necessary, the album can be dispersed and disassembled into a single lens for repairing the wall. Because of the diversity of its unique display methods, its potential in appreciation, collection and appreciation is higher than other forms of painting and calligraphy. In 2004, Lu's Poem Album of Du Fu was sold for 69.3 million yuan, setting a record for the auction of calligraphy and painting in China at that time, which shocked the world for a time. These 100 books not only bring together Lu's meticulous and beautiful painting style in middle age, but also have the vigorous, simple and vigorous atmosphere after his political reform in his later years. It is worthy of being a rare high-quality product obtained through decades of painstaking efforts, and his creative experience is quite difficult.
Lu has a special liking for "Du Fu's poems". He said, "I am eighteen years old, and ... I am addicted to Du Fu's poems. All other scholars have read the Selected Works, and Ji has read it through "; "The mountains and rivers in Shu, the swift rivers, the steep rocks and the vast waterfalls of clouds and trees are all carefully created. Once inscribed by Duke Du, they become poems, and the two are unparalleled in the world and complement each other"; "Du and I are very close. I have lived in Sichuan for eight years. I traveled with Duke Du in Bashu for nine years, worrying about my country and homesickness. Similar origins, the same mood. Therefore, the theme of creation is to take Du as much as possible. The reason why this collection of Du Fu's poems is full of flowers is also ". It can be seen that he loved Du Fu's poems in his early years, and his life experience similar to Du Fu's made him have a strong admiration for Du Fu's poems, and then he praised Du Fu's noble personality and persistent spirit of "swearing not to say anything out of the blue", and finally made "Du Fu's poems" his favorite and expressive works in his life.
Calligraphy and painting albums with wide artistic influence often have extraordinary creation and communication experiences, and this Hundred Books is no exception. 1962, in order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Du Fu's birth1962, Lu completed the Hundred Flowers Map in a few months. During the Cultural Revolution, 35 copies of 100 copies were stolen when handed over to Shanghai Painting Academy, and only 65 copies were returned. Someone immediately claimed ten copies and made up two for that person. 1986, thirty-five cents was stolen, and it was found that it was bought by Huang Junshi. At this point, "Hundred Books" was scattered in several places, which made Mr. Lu saddened. Later, at the suggestion of (the manager), Lu took back the previous 12 paintings, and at the age of 19891,he made up more than 30 paintings one after another in a certain place in Beijing, making it a hundred. However, this volume flowed overseas for many years, until Hanhai Company learned that it was in the hands of China collectors. After strong persuasion, this masterpiece, which is unprecedented in the history of China painting, finally returned to the motherland after participating in the filming.
