Gao Jianfu (1879~1951)
He is a modern and contemporary Chinese painter, art educator, and one of the founders of the Lingnan School.
His proposal of "eclecticism between East and West, integrating ancient and modern" became a guide for the Lingnan School of painting, and also had a great influence on many painters in other parts of China.
He is omnipotent and refined in landscapes, people, feathers, beasts, flowers, birds, fish and insects, etc.
His works are cut horizontally and vertically, dry brushes fly white, see rigidity in Xiuyi, and see the spirit in several brushes, but there is still a strong difference with traditional painting.
In particular, he is good at coloring and depicting light and shadow in terms of rendering, materials and the degree of expression, and likes to use color and ink rendering to express the image and texture, and is generally more realistic.
Gao Jianfu once wrote in "My View of Modern Chinese Painting": "We must study the inheritance of history and integrate it with the modern scholarship of the world." It also absorbs the specialties of ancient and modern paintings of various countries, as its own nutrition, so as to become its own flesh and blood, so as to nourish the new life of modern painting in china. ”
Therefore, after he studied in Japan, he began to boldly integrate Japanese and Western painting methods on the basis of traditional Chinese painting techniques, pursuing the performance of perspective, light and shade, light, climate, and space, emphasizing compatibility, learning from each other's strengths, and saving the essence. In the end, he created a bold and refreshing artistic effect, becoming a generation of masters.
As the founder of the "Lingnan School", Gao Jianfu's "Spring Sleep Painting Academy" founded by gao Jianfu had a profound impact on the younger generations, and cultivated famous painters such as Guan Shanyue, Li Xiongcai, and Zhao Shaoang.
