Mr. Qi Gong's artistic contribution;
1, calligraphy
Qi Gong studied a large number of inscriptions, and his calligraphy works, whether banners, album pages or screen couplets, can show beautiful rhythm and far-reaching artistic conception, which is called "gas". Calligraphy circle evaluation: "It is not only a calligrapher's book, but also a literati poet's book."
He also has many original views on the art of calligraphy itself. Generally speaking, learning calligraphy begins with writing "Jiugongge" or "Mi Zige", focusing on the center of the square. However, Qi Gong found that the center of gravity of Chinese characters is not in the center of traditional Mi Zige, but in four corners not far from the center. He also calculated that the proportional relationship between them accords with the so-called "golden ratio", which has important guiding significance for learning calligraphy.
Qi Gong's calligraphy works are very popular in the market. Taking the spring auction in Beijing in 2003 as an example, China Guardian released its work 10, and all of them were sold, including four pieces with a price of more than 80,000 yuan. The heart of the Seven Wonders in the Tang and Song Dynasties was sold for 418,000 yuan, and the transaction price was amazing.
2. Painting
Qi Gong's painting style is: rigorous composition, vivid techniques, bright colors and long lasting appeal, especially good at landscapes and bamboo stones, which is very interesting in traditional literati painting. "Autumn Mountain Man Walking in Painting" is a common theme. In 1930s and 1940s, he made his mark in painting and reached the artistic peak in 1950s. He also paints and sells money to supplement his life.
The painting price of Qigong's later years showed a steady upward trend. China Guardian photographed his A Record of Zhu Zhu Mo in the autumn of 1999 and sold it for more than 70,000 yuan. By 2002, the price of the same four-foot paper was 65438+ 10,000 yuan. Qigong's eye disease is aggravated, painting is very difficult, and painting is more precious.
He has painted many works for national leaders' visits and international exchanges. Qi Gong said humorously before his death: "I am a gift manufacturing company here."
