With nearly a hundred years' life experience and more than 80 years' artistic practice, with the spirit of martyrs and on the basis of inheriting the tradition, Huang made great efforts to innovate and become a new milestone in the history of China's landscape painting, worthy of being a master.
Huang's landscape painting creation has gone through three stages: learning from the past, learning from nature and integrating the past. Before the age of 60, he was mainly a teacher of the ancients; 60-70 years old, mainly teachers; After 70 years old, Huang's landscape paintings show the characteristics of self-reliance, maturity, rich style and gloomy mood.
From the perspective of pen and ink, it belongs to the traditional "black, dense, thick and heavy", that is, the accumulation of pen and ink is dozens of weights and dozens of depths, which is the most remarkable feature of his landscape painting. From the color point of view, there are faint ink prints, vibrant ink landscapes, colorful turquoise, and even more Jiao Mo thirsty pen with strong ink and pure lines. From the perspective of inheritance and innovation, we can find the shadow of an ancient brushwork, but it is not the ancients at all. His flower-and-bird paintings are unique and elegant. Calligraphy was studied in Zhong Dingwen and Jin and Wei Dynasties. Wang Xianzhi and Yan Zhenqing are used in cursive script, and Zheng Wengong tablet, Shimen inscription and Chu Suiliang are used in regular script. Learn from others' strengths, show your will, and be honest, fair and elegant. The profound knowledge and rich practice of painting and calligraphy make Huang's research on the history of painting theory have profound and unique insights.
Huang's painting and calligraphy art not only retains the essence of China's traditional art, but also benefits from the connotation of traditional national cultural accomplishment. At the same time, it conforms to the trend of modern art and draws lessons from the achievements of absorbing the spirit of modern aesthetic art. This absorption of modern forms is used by tradition, and it also endows traditional painting with strong characteristics of the times, which is the essential feature of Huang's aesthetic form.
Huang began to learn painting in the "Xin 'an Painting School" and "Huangshan Painting School" in his hometown, that is, he took the painting styles of Jianjiang, Cha Shibiao, ancient pottery and Mei Qing as the Sect, with a very high starting point. However, Huang Zhi started from Xin 'an and Huangshan Painting School, except that his pen and ink skills, thoughts and sentiments and aesthetic views were more in line with his personality, and more importantly, he was rooted in national consciousness and early anti-Qing revolutionary thoughts. Most of the people in Xin 'an and Huangshan painting schools are adherents of the late Ming Dynasty. They stuck to their ambitions, avoided the world and never compromised with the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. Coupled with their painting style, it was original at once, sweeping away the increasingly sweet and vulgar atmosphere of the official "Four Kings" painting school in Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the painting styles of Xin 'an and Huangshan painting schools are simple, simple and simple, which accords with Huang's personality and aesthetic taste.
