Appreciation of Pu Hua's "Landscape", the swaying postures, self-titled paintings, and even more coordination

This landscape is written purely in ink, with loose and graceful brushwork, giving people a relaxed and leisurely feeling. The extensive use of light ink and the abundance of water make the picture enveloped in the atmosphere of Menglong, giving people a sense of relaxation. A touch of coolness. . The twin phoenix towers of Yunli Imperial City, with spring trees in the rain, and the misty scene in front of tens of thousands of people are exactly in line with the poetic mood. Pu Hua's paintings of landscapes and flowers were praised, and he was already very famous at that time. Wu Changshuo was deeply influenced by him. His extraordinary talent and good cultivation enabled him to learn from the past without imitating the past, and he was able to express his feelings through pen and ink. When looking at his paintings, people often ignore the so-called formulas and techniques, and are more easily moved by the atmosphere and realm of the paintings. This is unique in the late Qing painting world where imitation of ancient times is a common trend. Pu Hua's simple and straightforward style of calligraphy and painting limited the wide dissemination of his works to a certain extent. However, the knowledgeable people in the painting circle at that time highly praised his art, and his high-mindedness had always been the case.

If Pu Hua's paintings still rely more on his predecessors, then his calligraphy, especially cursive script, has a distinct personal style. His brushwork combines hardness with softness, and points are accumulated into lines, which are rich in meaning. The pauses and setbacks make the dot painting forms changeable and swaying, and the self-titled paintings are even more coordinated.
