Artistic feature
Xu Yinsen's seal cutting mainly originated from Zhejiang School, and studied seriously from Wu Changshuo, Lai Chusheng and other masters. His style is both meticulous and meticulous, with vigorous brushwork, rigorous structure and simple and fresh lines.
When Xu Yinsen was a teenager, he received strict training in western perspective modeling. After graduating with honors, he stayed at his alma mater, Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now China Academy of Fine Arts) to teach. His solid foundation and university history have deeply influenced the style and essence of painting. His paintings of plum blossoms, wisteria, lotus flowers, orchids, grapes and turquoise were all influenced by his mentor. They not only have Zhu Lesan's elegance and massiness, but also are influenced by Pan Tianshou's composure and interest in painting outside.
Painting plum blossoms is Xu Yinsen's specialty. In order to paint plum blossoms well, he went to Lingfeng, Chaoshan and Gushan to sketch many times, admired the famous plum blossom growers in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and traced back the original works of Lu and Wang Mian in order to get a pure plum blossom soul. Zheng, an art critic, once commented on Xu Yinsen's plum blossom works like this: he painted plum blossoms to occupy the corner and stretch out the dome; Write through with a pen, twists and turns, setbacks; Bright and elegant colors are like spring arrival. He writes the mature plum with the exaggerated beauty of art, which is characterized by strengthening the representation of objects in order to express his inner "Qian Shan pen".
In the process of learning Chinese painting, I was deeply influenced by Xu Wei, Wu Changshuo, Pan Tianshou and other predecessors. People, landscapes, flowers and birds, and animals are all familiar with them. Among them, flowers and birds are good at painting orchids, and the layout of plum blossoms is unique, quiet and Leng Yan, with far-reaching artistic conception. His Mo Mei's "Fragrance Drives Snowflakes" was selected as "Selected Paintings and Calligraphy by Famous Artists in Jiangnan", which was appreciated by experts in the same field. One of his "Song Mei Tu" was sold at a high price at the China Painting and Calligraphy Auction in Xiamen on 1994. At the same time, Mr Xu yinsen's calligraphy is unique. Seal script, official script and running script have their own merits, fresh and noble, free and easy, which fully embodies his profound traditional skill and spiritual cultivation.
Anecdotes of characters
Mr. Xu Yinsen has a certain influence in Zhejiang and even the whole country. This is the evaluation of Xu Yinsen by many media. Moreover, Mr. Xu Yinsen not only has outstanding achievements in seal cutting, but also has deep attainments in painting and calligraphy. However, if we want to trace the time and origin of Mr. Xu Yinsen's artistic path, we can't leave the humiliating and bloody historical era more than 60 years ago.
Xu Yinsen was originally from Xucun, Guanhu, Wangjiajing Town. When his father was young, he worked in Hangzhou while working while the iron was hot. Because of the "July 7 Lugouqiao Incident" that shocked China and foreign countries, Xu Yinsen fled south with his family and returned to his hometown in Zhuji. It was at this time that Xu Yinsen came to this troubled world untimely.
On that day, the emergency alarm just sounded, and before I finished, Japanese planes roared overhead and dropped bombs. Everyone in the village fled to the mountains. Xu Yinsen was born in the cowshed, and his mother delivered the baby herself. After a short stay in Zhuji, the family fled to the south. I have settled down temporarily from Yiwu, Jinhua, Lanxi and Lishui to Anshun Town, Longquan. My father works as a short-term worker in the security workshop, and my mother lives on her father's meager salary.
Born in the war, Xu Yinsen has experienced many hardships since he was a child, but it was in the years of avoiding the war that Xu Yinsen slowly honed a kind of perseverance and perseverance. It was also in this extraordinary period that he fell in love with painting in the primary school in Anshun Town, and turned this hobby into his lifelong career, which was also his unswerving pursuit.
Mr. Xu Yinsen is good at calligraphy and painting besides his profound accomplishments in seal cutting. In the early 1990s, when he was on an art inspection tour in more than ten countries, such as France, Italy and Germany, more than 100 seals he carried with him were snapped up by western friends. Mr Claude/goias Gan, then the first deputy mayor of Paris, also attended the painting and calligraphy exhibition. At that time, Chinese newspapers such as "Paris Dragon" made a large-scale special report on the painting and calligraphy exhibition and called it this.
Xu Yinsen has sealed many celebrities many times, including Bo Yibo, a revolutionary of the older generation, who is now a member of the central leading group and a famous director Xie Jin.
Personality assessment
Ye Zi, a famous scholar, believes that Xu Yinsen's original cursive script is actually a unique portrayal of his spiritual feelings and a confession of his personality. Savoring his calligraphy creation carefully, it is not difficult to see that the fresh and noble, free and easy natural charm is hidden and present in his pen. His calligraphy art is not only full of profound traditional skills, knowledge and atmosphere, but also very intriguing.
Many of his calligraphy works are original. Xu Yinsen's literary background is profound. In addition to painting and calligraphy, he is also good at poetry and songs. In these two or three years alone, he wrote nearly 400 poems. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that many of his paintings were also created by himself. This is very valuable in contemporary calligraphy and painting.
Xu Yinsen has a wide range of interests. He is good at appreciating. Once seen by CCTV 2, he was invited to treasure hunt all over the country. He is the first treasure in Zhejiang province of CCTV 2. He also likes planting flowers and grass, planting dozens of pots of plums, trying to figure out the four seasons and melting into his creation. Write lyrics and compose music, fight crickets and raise silkworms on weekdays. They are all things he is passionate about. Now he has retired at home, but he still works tirelessly and loves the world of calligraphy. According to his own account, after he retired, he entered the golden age of creation. He must seize the time to leave more and better spiritual food for the society.
