The life of the character
No.1 Anhui Huoxiang people, idle clouds, Huo three people, fast, fast. Zhao He Village, Zhongxing Town, Huoqiu County, Anhui Province. He loved painting and calligraphy since childhood and entered a private school at the age of seven. Under the guidance of the teacher, he laid a solid foundation. /kloc-at the age of 0/9, he left home and went to Beijing alone, and was admitted to Hebei Highway Bureau as a clerk. 1936 worked in Jicha appeasement office and worked as a secretary of Song Dynasty. Later, he served as secretary and director of Xinmin Daily in Beiping, director of editorial department of World Times and secretary of Beiping Journalism Industry Association. After work, Zhao Buren still insists on painting and devotes himself to the creation and research of calligraphy and painting. He used inkstone to grind ink for painting, never used ink, and once wore through several inkstones in his life. After achieving certain results, I spent three years worshipping Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi as teachers. The two teachers not only regard Yan Ren as their disciple, but also regard each other as friends, and often give their calligraphy and paintings to Yan Ren. Ren never shows off the world by who he is, but studies hard and practices hard. After that, he studied under the old painters Wu Jingting and Chen Shiceng. Under the guidance of famous teachers, Zhao Buren became a famous young painter in his thirties. His works are quaint, magnificent and unique. His landscape paintings are light and ancient, with rich brushwork and fresh and elegant colors. He studied under the painters Dong Yuan, Ran and Huang in Song and Yuan Dynasties, especially liked Badashanren's paintings and Shi Tao's pen and ink dripping, and was closely related to famous artists such as Huang and Zhang Daqian. He learned from others, pioneered and innovated, and had various styles. He integrated tradition and methods of various schools into his own, and explored a new path for the development of Chinese painting. His works, such as Rolling Jiang Xue, Boating in Pinghu, Autumn Wind in Shanzhai, Qian Fan Classic, etc., take the center as a tree, the side as a mountain, dry pen and wet pen in one go, creating a new style of pen and ink landscape. His flower-and-bird paintings also have many unique features, such as Bamboo and Stone Painting and Xue Mei for Spring. , nuanced, quiet and pleasant, free and easy and elegant, ink overflowing. He painted plum, orchid, bamboo and stone to express his personality realm of "above plum and among bamboo". He said that I painted plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum to express my spiritual pursuit of "the pride of plum, the fragrance of orchid, the envy of bamboo, the Ao Shuang of chrysanthemum and the evergreen of pine". Zhao Buren's calligraphy skill is also profound, and the real cursive script is excellent, but cursive script is the true embodiment of his artistic personality. Although cursive script has a moment, it is free to use pen and structure, which easily embodies the principle that calligraphy is the heart painting. Bitter cursive script is a bit strange, with a flying brushwork, such as the posture of dragon and tiger, which permeates the universe and won the charm of Qin and Han dynasties and the character of Wei and Jin dynasties. He is also good at Zhu Tuo, seal cutting and seal cutting management, with strong knife skills and unique style. Mr. Jing Guxie commented: "My friend Mr. Zhao Buren is a famous and versatile artist." Wu praised him for his "noble character, few friends, mighty mind and generous eulogy, and he was also a calligrapher and engraver renowned at home and abroad."
In 1930s, Zhao Buren, Lu Hongnian, Cao Kejia, Liu Lingcang and others initiated the establishment of the Chinese Painting Research Association, which was one of the earliest promoters and served as a lecturer. He is also a member of China Calligraphy Research Association, where he works as a lecturer. He and other celebrities also initiated the establishment of the "Yilin Painting Association" and served as the president, holding many Yilin painting exhibitions. Zhao Buren is usually taciturn and unsociable, but he has a helpful heart. At that time, his monthly salary was 12 yuan, but after holding a "personal painting and calligraphy exhibition" for the flood in Tianjin, he donated all the income of 2000 yuan from the exhibition to the disaster area in Tianjin. The painter Li Kuchan was born in a poor family. To help Li Kuchan, he gave his salary to Li Kuchan's family.
193 1 year, the Japanese army launched the September 18th war of aggression against China. Facing the national disaster, Zhao Buren, a young painter who became famous in the art world, was indignant and determined to fight with a pen. After work, he hid in a small room, repeatedly thinking, and stayed up for several nights. Finally, he created a Chinese painting "Ten Broken Pictures" which reflected the determination of China people to resist Japan. The rubbings, notes, residual paintings and ancient paper on the screen are all on a piece of paper, which not only vividly imitates the broken pages, but also has superb skills, and contains the grief and indignation of the Chinese nation being ravaged, its national culture dying and its country falling. After the publication of Xinmin Daily, this painting caused a sensation, effectively accused the Japanese imperialist aggression, and inspired the people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance and their determination to defend their country. After the July 7th Incident, Beiping fell. When he worked as a secretary in Mancheng county government of Hebei province, he once learned that the authorities were going to kill the captured Eighth Route Army soldiers, so he distanced himself from them and secretly let them go that night. 1938, Zhao Buren's World Times was forcibly taken over by the Japanese army. He didn't want to be a conquered people. He organized an exhibition of paintings with the famous painter Cao Kejia and exhibited ten broken paintings in Zhongshan Park. "Xinmin Daily" and other Beiping newspapers reported the exhibition in succession, saying that "ten broken pictures are exquisite and abnormal, which can push giants". The Japanese army called him back to the newspaper office and said, "What are your ten broken pictures?" Zhao Buren replied unhurriedly: "My ten broken paintings are Chinese paintings, depicting the national conditions of China." The Japanese officer patted the table hard and said, "You deliberately insinuated the imperial army, and your conscience was greatly broken. You are not human, you can't work in a newspaper. " Without any flattery, Zhao Buren broke his arm and left the newspaper angrily. On that day, he carved a plaque of "Stuffed Gourd Zhai" and hung it at his door. Since then, he has lived in seclusion, writing and painting carefully. After losing my job, in order to support my family, I have been making a living by repairing rattan chairs, pasting cartons, selling popsicles and collecting junk. Even if I am poor, I will not sell my own calligraphy and painting. After liberation, Zhao Buren lived in seclusion at home and invited him to swim in the Mohist Classics all day. He teaches at home and students don't have to pay tuition. At the end of the year, they only gave the teacher two bottles of white wine. He was honest and indifferent to fame and fortune all his life. He teaches students to learn to be human first, and then learn to draw. He often warns students that "life should not be burdened by fame and fortune, but it is wise to study when you are stupid." For many years, Zhao Buren worked in the inkstone field all day in obscurity at home. Every day, he puts down his brush and practices calligraphy 300 times a day. The table he drew has no inner felt, and a washboard is turned over to be used as a drawing board. When he was poorest, "Xuan paper had no money to buy, and he just got a piece of paper that was caught in the window." During the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, Zhao Buren's home was also attacked by the rebels, and many calligraphy and paintings were destroyed. He was also forced to dig a bomb shelter for many years, digging a bomb shelter during the day and getting up at four o'clock every morning to draw, but he still didn't put down his brush.
At the end of 1970s, Zhao Buren policy was implemented, and leaders and experts from China Artists Association and Beijing Municipal Government visited Zhao Buren successively. He finally left home and moved into a new house. He joined China Artists Association and China Calligraphy Association successively, and was appointed as the director of Beijing Calligraphy and Painting Art Research Association. 1984 was hired as the research librarian of Beijing Literature and History Museum. When Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations were normalized, China Art Exhibition exhibited a pair of Zhao Buren's calligraphy "Wild Grass" in Japan, which led people to find an old painter who was famous for his "Ten Broken Pictures" in 1930s. Zhao Buren's biography is included in China's Who's Who of Modern Painting, Calligraphy and Seal Carving. Since then, his works and biographies have been included in the Dictionary of Surnames of Artists in China and the Dictionary of Contemporary Calligraphers in China.
After nearly forty years, Zhao Buren returned to the painting world, which made him feel more creative passion. He was invited to create a large number of works for the Great Hall of the People, Zhongnanhai, State Guesthouse, China History Museum, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Memorial Hall and other units, and donated a number of works to repair the Great Wall and save giant pandas. His works are not only collected by domestic institutions such as China Art Museum, but also by Japanese, Singaporean and Canadian foreign museums. Liu Xun, secretary-general of China Artists Association, said that Zhao Buren is heartless, and different people have different opinions. His paintings and art are as noble as his personality. 198 1 year, China Artists Association Beijing Branch held the "Zhao Buren Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition" in Beihai Park, which presented Zhao Buren's exquisite works for nearly half a century. Attracted a large audience. Ten Broken Pictures was published for the second time, and his patriotic enthusiasm in times of crisis was once again well received by the society. Cai Ruohong, vice chairman of China Artists Association, commented: "Zhao Buren's paintings and calligraphy are very good, and the paintings between the lines are profound and innovative. Especially the snow scene is more distinctive. This is of great reference value to the study of traditional calligraphy painters. " Wei Chuantong, president of the PLA Art College, wrote a poem excitedly after reading the exhibition: "Those who are unkind will break through until dawn;" In today's world, there is no danger to climb. " In his later years, he often urged himself to paint more diligently with the spirit of "Da Yu cherishes every inch of shade and Tao Kan cherishes every inch of shade". In his later years, many of his works were frank and innovative, and gradually entered a fresh environment. His works, such as Qingshui, are natural and more aesthetic. Zhao Buren worked hard all his life to inherit and develop China's painting and calligraphy art, and created a unique style of vigorous brushwork, simple and elegant, extraordinary color, fresh and elegant, leaving a valuable spiritual heritage for the treasure house of human culture and art.
1986 died in Beijing in April.
