"When painting a person in China, it is not just about painting the appearance, but about the spirit of this person, and the so-called 'full spirit' of ordinary people means to express the spirit of this person." Therefore, chinese painting is not about form, but about God. This freehand spirit is the tools and materials that arise from Chinese painting, especially the ideas of Chinese. ”

【Inscription】 Lady (for Shi Hui). Inscription: Bouldering
There have always been many painters who are good at drawing pictures of women, and Fu Baoshi is one of the best. The beautiful picture of a lady with an open face that recently appeared in the Poly Calligraphy and Painting Field in Beijing was painted by Mr. Fu Baoshi for his wife on June 26, 1945 in Jingangpo, Chongqing, and the long title on the right side of the painting is that the day he painted was the 35th birthday of his wife, Ms. Luo Shihui.
Fu Baoshi and Luo Shihui
At that time, they had been married for 15 years, trekking from Nanchang in Jiangxi Province to many places, and finally settling in Jingangpo in Chongqing, and his wife Luo Shihui followed him and suffered a lot. Therefore, this Piece of Fu Baoshi was painted with special care, and he made a detailed inscription, describing the hard life in the past six years of entering Shu, expressing his respect and infinite gratitude to his wife, and showing the affection between pen and ink.
In the 1940s, my parents' time in Chongqing was very difficult, and my mother worked hard to take care of everything in the family. On her mother's birthday in 1945, her father painted a picture of her, on which he wrote down his gratitude to his mother, and the words were surging with words, both plain and warm, simple and profound, elegant and gentle, both straightforward and subtle. ——Fu Yiyao, "Remembering My Father Fu Baoshi" (excerpt)
Family portrait of Fu Baoshi's family
Fu Baoshi's character paintings mostly use the technique of baking clouds and supporting the moon, which is also reflected in this painting. When depicting the willow tree, he first used ink and then planted green, and the deep and light light dark green color baked the entire background, making the lady in the middle of the light red dress look very prominent.
Ladies pink dress, slightly powdered, neat hair, slender eyebrows, gentle figure, strolling by the willow shade stream, the charm, filled with fresh and bright spring light, this is the appearance of the lady engraved in Fu Baoshi's heart.
The woman's eyes are depicted very well, light ink hook, thick ink dots, and then use light ink scattered edges to paint the pupils of the eyes, render several times, with thick eyelashes, deep and subtle, and appear exquisite and clear, looking back and flowing, Gu Pansheng posture. The old saying has clouds: it is easy to wave the five strings in your hand, and it is difficult to see the return to Hong. Fu Baoshi can depict such a moving eyebrow, and his skill can be seen.
After the creation of this painting, it has been treasured by Fu Baoshi in his own study. Later, after several turns during the Cultural Revolution, more than 400 other paintings were deposited in the Nanjing Museum. In 1979, Mrs. Fu Baoshi generously donated 356 pieces to the Nanjing Museum, leaving only a few dozen particularly commemorative works, including this painting "The Lady of Liuyin". In the following 20 or 30 years, "The Lady of Liuyin" participated in various "Fu Baoshi Memorial Exhibitions" several times, and published a series of books, becoming a classic that everyone is familiar with. At the beginning of the 21st century, this work was scattered from the Fu family, circulated in Xiangjiang, and once disappeared for nearly 20 years, and now, it has returned to the market again.
The so-called Yi people, Yang Liu Yiyi
"Fine arts is the greatest confession of national culture. If this sentence is not wrong, we close our eyes and think about it, in a few hundred years or thousands of years, what things will be left to our compatriots hundreds of years and thousands of years later? What is there to express the national culture of the present era? This white paper in the history of Chinese national art, do we want to write it all over? These many questions, for Chinese art, for Chinese culture, in other words, for the nation, it is not allowed to let go! --Fu Baoshi
After Fu Baoshi entered the Shu War of Resistance, he repeatedly painted pictures of ladies, giving the people in the paintings high purity sentiments, and the beautiful people he created that were independent like Luoshen became his spiritual sustenance in the time of war and chaos.
According to Mr. Ip Chung-ho's research, Fu Baoshi's work on female painting began in December 1940, although he had been involved in figure painting by chance when he was young. At that time, he created "Jin Changxu< Spring Grievances > Poetry" for the "Chinese Wartime Painting Exhibition" sponsored by the Sino-Soviet Cultural Association, highlighting the theme of anti-war weariness.
Fu Baoshi, "The Poetry of Jin Changxu< Spring Grievances>
After 1943, with the emergence of a series of poetic paintings depicting the grievances of the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as "Du Fu < Beauty>", "Bai Juyi< Pipa Line>", "Li Bai < Long Ganxing > Poetry", etc., Fu Baoshi's female painting style gradually took shape. The beautiful person painted in the painting either stands on bamboo, or returns from the song, or walks in the spring, the shape draws on Chen Hongshou's deformation curiosity and Shi Tao's free-flowing attitude, swaying in the wind, freehand flying, showing the woman's graceful posture and delicate face, beautiful and amazing body with Fanghua.
The creation of Fu Baoshi's "You Chun Shi Nu" series, with "Yang Liu" as the main element, renders the willow with a large piece of warm green, and freezes the young woman in the situation of the willow tree draped and the willow tree shaded by the willow tree, fixed in the moment of "slowly lifting the jade thread skirt", the character depiction is exquisite, the fluttering and flying clothes are like flowing water, and the rough painting method of the willow and the earth slope forms a delicate and extensive contrast, deducing a moving picture of the spring tour. The otherworldly, hazy and watery woman has become a model for fu baoshi's pen downstream of the spring female figure.
Fu Baoshi Liudi lady
Later, Fu Baoshi painted again and again, or albums, or vertical shafts, or fans, and the technique gradually matured, creating a series of new images of Liuyin Shinu, which was painted for Madame in 1945 in liuyin Shinu, which became the embodiment of love, so that the connotation of the work was further sublimated, and the artistic conception of the picture was continuously expanded, which was an emotional process and had a gripping charm.
