Some friends may not know Qiu Zhenzhong. He is a member of Xiling Printing Society, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and has been devoted to contemporary calligraphy education.
In a recent interview, his words caused great repercussions.
Reporter: You said that the contemporary calligraphy art has improved. Can you give an example? Are there any contemporary calligraphers?
Qiu Zhenzhong: Mr. Lin Sanzhi, Mr. Lu Weizhao and Mr. Sha Menghai are all masters, and they can all be written into art history.
Reporter: What about Mr. Qi Gong and Mr. Shen Peng? Their status seems to be controversial.
Qiu Zhenzhong: In my opinion, it is not up to the level of a master.
why did Mr. Qiu Zhenzhong make such an evaluation? Want to know why, but also from everyone's creative style to find the answer.
1. Sha Menghai and Lu Weizhao.
in the Qing dynasty, the book circle attached great importance to the tablet and attached little importance to it. After practice? It is found that the optical monument is difficult to go on and has too many limitations. In the end, everyone has formed a * * * knowledge, and only by combining the inscriptions can there be a way out.
the success of Mr. Sha Menghai and Mr. Lu Weizhao depends on their achievements in the combination of inscriptions, the solid foundation of the study of inscriptions, and the vigorous integration of inscriptions, which gave birth to this powerful style. If you want to find out the representative of the integration of inscriptions from contemporary famous artists, these two people are the only ones.
2. Lin Sanzhi.
Lin Sanzhi, on the other hand, is different from the above two. Some people don't agree with Lin Sanzhi's cursive script, and evaluate that his calligraphy is not as beautiful as traditional calligraphy. In fact, his calligraphy is very unique. Especially in his ink use, his ink use skills were influenced by Huang Binhong, and the ink method in painting was integrated into calligraphy. The ink rose thick but not stagnant, and the dry pen was surrounded by smoke clouds, which was natural, casual and superb. His style makes his calligraphy more changeable. Although some people can't accept his style, we can't deny his innovation in using ink. From this point of view, he can really be called everyone.
3. Qigong
Some people don't agree with Lin Sanzhi's cursive script. Some people don't like Sha Menghai's list book. Kaigong's running script, on the other hand, almost reached the state of being loved by everyone and was loved by the general public.
from a professional point of view, Mr. qi gong was born in academic research, and calligraphy is just a hobby after learning. I don't know if you have found that most calligraphers with academic backgrounds follow the tradition more, just like Mr. Qi Gong. His "Qi Gong Ti" running script is full of strong scroll flavor.
what is unique about Mr. qi gong's calligraphy? The first thing to bear is the knot. Most calligraphy lovers have heard of the famous "golden ratio" method, which was initiated by Mr. Qi Gong. It is this unique knot that makes his calligraphy so popular. In contrast, his brushwork is not so prominent. On the whole, Mr. Qi Gong has a great influence on contemporary calligraphy.
4. Shen Peng
I believe everyone has heard the story that Mr. Shen Peng doesn't like temporary posts, probably because he doesn't like temporary posts. Many brushstrokes come from his own imagination, which makes his calligraphy pen full of personality, but he lacks the statutes of traditional calligraphy. It is precisely because of this that many calligraphy lovers do not agree with Mr. Shen Peng's calligraphy and think that his calligraphy is very different from traditional calligraphy. But his influence in today's book world is obvious to all, which we can't deny. Even the formation of the style of today's book world has a lot to do with him.
