A line, or a clue
——About Fang Dakai
In March 1931, a 22-year-old handsome young man from Hengdong, Hunan Province, dressed in a clean gray robe, came from Beijing to Tianjin Wei, began to preside over the work of the Tianjin Branch of the Lake Society Painting Society, and began to be apprenticed. On May 21 of the same year, Xu Beihong, his wife Jiang Biwei and others visited the Tianjin Municipal Art Museum, and for a time they were popular in the literary circles, but from the large media reports at that time, the name of this Hunan youth could not be found. Perhaps at that time, this good young man himself did not think that it was precisely because of his silent arrival that the atmosphere of the Jinmen painting circle began to change suddenly, and there was a long-distance, light and strong landscape style, which was originally called "Shaomei Legacy".
This good young man in Hunan was Chen Shaomei, the Danqing national hand whose name later resounded throughout the north and south of the great river. Chen Shaomei's pen and ink method and aesthetic orientation have become a system that is still ancient but not ancient. This system has nourished and cultivated many Danqing masters in the Beijing-Tianjin region and even throughout the country. And the biggest thing about this system is that it basically doesn't belong to painting, it belongs to martial arts — in the ring of traditional skill, it is superior and undefeated.
Fang Dakai is the leader in this system, and with his hard-hitting Tong Zi Gong, he fully agrees with the martial arts concept that "ink painters should play a game in traditional skills". "It's useless to say anything else, take a line and try it." Some theorists interpret the silence and slaughter in the Landscape Paintings of the Song Dynasty as the original imperial imagination, indeed, if Fan Kuan, if Li Tang, ruo Ma Yuan, although we have no chance to see their appearance except for their works, but from the temperament of interpretation, they should be first-class and first-class generals. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the game of ink painting has been played until now, and the competition is actually still that mouthful of vitality.
So you have to understand Fang Dakai, and Fang Dakai, why they should sink that breath in this complicated, light-shadow-like era, and escape into the ancient law, just use this pen to game a high bottom on paper.
Fang Dakai painter Fa Shaomei, there is song bone method, Tang shen yun, with books into the painting, with the atmosphere of gold and stone, poetry calligraphy and painting printed in one, this is the characteristics of Dakai calligraphy and painting also! It is precisely because he embraces the ancient law that Fang Dakai is also addicted to antiquities. Those jade pieces, bronze mirrors, seals, calligraphy and paintings that have passed through the ancients, as well as the old traces of famous artists in the spectrum, no matter the factory shooting, as long as there is a glance, the heart is moved, pouring out of the bag, with the circle of the heart. It hides the Danqing ink treasure of ancient and modern people, tired of boxes, identification is also exquisite, treasure through its eyes, does not pollute the eyes, a hammer. However, the breath-holding disc grinding that these jade bodies once had, the dappled past reflected in the mirror, the short knives stored in the seals, the landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, and beasts in ancient calligraphy and painting, they themselves are energy fields, they choose to absorb and emit according to fate, and they are also like a spiritual rune in the martial arts secrets. If you look at it, fang in his beard opens the symbol and walks on the ink on the paper, raising his hands and feet, he is an ancient warrior, who inadvertently puts the sword and courage in his heart. Just like that, in the face of this warrior who has inherited the ancients, there is no need for those ignorant contemporary philosophies, just waiting for it, please pass the trick.
This is the most Sven aesthetic of violence in ancient times. At a glance, the years are not deceived. You have thousands of troops, I have vertical and horizontal openings, just write down one line, everything begins, just write on one line, everything ends.
Then, you can sit down and talk about the lone lamp of the night rain, talk about the wind and snow moon.
