My artistic dream
My dream is an oasis in the desert, which brings vitality to desperate people; Dream is a trace of running water on the mountain, which brings passion to the silent and arid nature; Dream is an eternal light that illuminates the road of life, and it guides us to move forward on the road of life! Everyone has his own dream, and I also have my own artistic dream. I once dreamed of being a talkative TV host and bringing happiness to the audience. I once dreamed of being a beautiful dancer and bringing beautiful enjoyment to everyone. I once dreamed of being a well-known painter and painting a beautiful world for everyone ... So, despite my young age, I have a lot of "kung fu", and my mother often jokingly said to me, "You are almost a young talent!" With the growth of my age, I love swimming now, and I dream of becoming a swimmer who will win glory for my motherland in the future. Last summer, my mother told me: "There is a swimming program in the community. I signed up for a swimming training class with excitement. I thought learning to swim was a relaxing and fun thing. Unexpectedly, on the first day of school, I ate all the "bitterness". I remember that day, I was playing with water in a beautiful bathing suit. Suddenly, I heard the coach shout, "Come down quickly! Come down! " I thought he was calling someone else, or he just ignored him for his own fun. Just when I was having a good time, the coach held me back and said, "You little brat, you just want to play. Now let's learn to hold your breath." As soon as the voice fell, he put me in the water before I came back to China. I swam aside to watch other students' performances. I was alone in the water, fluttering like a landlubber, holding my nose with my hands, covering my mouth with my hands, and hooking the railing with my feet for fear of being carried away by water! "Help! Help! " I opened my mouth and shouted! The water choked my throat. The coach swam over and grabbed me up. I grabbed him tightly, as if I had caught a lifeline. When I caught my breath, I repeatedly said, "Don't learn! Don't learn! " The coach patted me on the head and said, "How can you learn to swim without choking? As the ancients said," Plum blossoms come from bitter cold. " I nodded, puzzled. In this way, under the coach's "good intentions", I finally learned to swim, and I swam faster and faster with beautiful posture, which made me taste the fun of swimming! The infinite fun of swimming has kept me going until now, and I will keep going for my dream forever!
My artistic dream
When the voice of improving the cultural and artistic quality of the whole nation rolled in like the rushing Yellow River wave, I suddenly had a delusion: Should my artistic dream wake up, too?
In our ambitious country, only poets and painters have the most sensitive feelings. When the society is dark and hopeless, the poet's shoulders are heaviest and the fire in his heart is the most prosperous. They sang the voice of the people with full of resentment and without fear. Use the fire that started a prairie fire to burn down the roof that supported the darkness. At that time, the colors painted by the painter were gloomy, but they were full of sonorous sound and magnificent power.
I love poetry and calligraphy. It was poetry that led me to the road of revolution, and it was calligraphy and painting that made me love the motherland more today and tomorrow.
When today's life becomes colorful, unexpectedly millions of poets write poems, eulogizing a new life and praising the deepening of reform and opening up. The ranks of calligraphers and painters are longer. The old, the middle-aged, the young, the young, and the women are all in battle, full of vibrant ink, and they have produced a series of touching works, inspiring people to be high-spirited, go forward, love the new society, cherish the new life, and create a new era with more passionate fighting spirit.
I finally understand that the focus of an ancient nation was originally in the soil of the motherland, in the mountains and rivers, in the gardens, in poetry and in the art of calligraphy and painting. Poetry and painting are inseparable. Singing the same tune and painting a scene together is a good poem and a good painting.
Mountains and water, flowers and birds are human environmental factors in nature, but in art they are transformed into people themselves-people's emotions and people's consciousness. Therefore, the fundamental effort to create landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting is to understand people and understand life, society and the world. Good thinking, good painting and understanding are often linked together, just as Mr. Chen Si advocated that "it is the spirit that Dan Qing is difficult to write". "Reflecting things with Tao" and "teaching Tao with God" are exactly the artistic rules that we should follow.
my family is far from being a family heirloom, but it is also called a scholarly family. A loving mother is strict with her father, and her heart is full of ambition. Under the strict supervision of my father, I received enlightenment education at the age of four, studied calligraphy at the age of five, and wrote a copy of Liu Gongquan copybook over and over again for a year. Later, there were "Yan Zhenqing copybook", "Hua Shikui copybook", "Ou Yangxun copybook" and "Zhao Mengfu copybook" ..., two big letters and one small letter every day, day after day, without intermission. Occasionally slack off, lightly reprimand it, and severely punish it. Kneeling in front of watermelon, you must also make up all your homework. So until I was six years old. Tong Yue, the headmaster of Lutai guanyin temple Primary School, is a renowned expert in painting. He loves my calligraphy and gives me careful guidance on my painting. A collection of Liu Haisu's sketches made me crazy, and later I systematically studied the collection of Chen Zhifo's pictures < P > and mustard seed garden. After entering middle school, under the guidance of teachers such as Liu Zijiu, Jin Shi 'an and Li Yufu, he mastered watercolor, gouache, oil painting and still life painting, and began to publish his works, which was praised as "little painter" by newspapers at that time. My personal works account for almost 8% of the art exhibitions held by the school; The walls of my bedroom are also covered with all kinds of poor works; My words and paintings are almost all in the windows of major firms in my hometown and in the living rooms of famous artists. In order to solve the tuition and miscellaneous fees, I held my first solo exhibition in Tianjin in 1941. From then on, I began my artistic dream, eager to become a veritable painting and calligraphy artist in the future.
I deeply realize that calligraphy and painting are closely related arts.
good dreams don't last long. The Japanese invaders invaded China during the July 7th Incident, and Huiwen Middle School where I studied was taken over as Tianjin No.2 Middle School. I didn't want to accept enslavement education. I was admitted to Beijing private middle school from the third grade to the third grade, and I was admitted to Fu Jen Catholic University the next year. Soon, I joined the party's underground organization. Because of a leak, I was blacklisted by the enemy and puppet troops. I escaped from Peiping in the middle of the night and entered the liberated area in eastern Hebei. Since then, I have participated in the revolution. My artistic dream is shattered ...
My amateur painting career began in 1988. That's because of the need to communicate with foreign cultures and arts, and also to satisfy the curiosity of overseas experts and doctors about China's ancient art. A few flower-and-bird paintings were rushed out in a hurry, which unexpectedly produced a subtle friendly effect. From then on, it was an unexpected event, and then two art exhibitions were held in Tanghuawu and Zhongshan Hall in Beijing, with unexpected results. The insider said: "This is a deliberate silence, and the purpose is to make a blockbuster." International friends wish: "If there is an exhibition, there must be ten exhibitions, and foreign countries will love it." Critics assert: "Forty years of revolutionary practice is also a necessary artistic accumulation. Journalists' eyes always yearn for and admire beauty. As a person who has been engaged in news publishing for a long time, the source of innovation is still a deep understanding of people and life. "
I agree with the view that the growth of art depends on the freedom of restraint, but dies of absolute freedom. You can't think that the kite will fly higher if it breaks that line. If we call what is abstract, imaginative and fanciful art, art will not exist. The highest achievement of human culture is philosophy, and artists should treat life scientifically from the height of philosophy, so that practice can produce high-grade art (in the words of Mr. Liu Xiaocen).
Nowadays, the social environment has given me the opportunity to continue to realize my artistic dream, which I should cherish and take seriously. As an artist, you should at least have a fearless and selfless love. Love is the source of every artist's life and wisdom. If you devote yourself to creating for mankind, I believe that one day, your art will be accepted and recognized by mankind. The most important thing is whether the work itself can make people have a beautiful feeling, a beautiful rhythm and a beautiful overall pleasure while enjoying it through your artistic language.
I also deeply realized from studying predecessors' artistic creation that the attitude towards nature must be loved, disliked and given up. In the field of art, "fraternity" is not specialized, and painters who love whatever they see will lose their personality of love and don't understand the value of love. If you love too much, it will inevitably lower the standard of love and consume the power of love. For this reason, we must work hard, choose our goals and strive for perfection.
Culture and art are an important part of soft science, and actively participating in calligraphy and painting activities is undoubtedly a love for spiritual civilization construction.
I woke up from my dream, and now is the best time to realize it!
