Xanadu, a wonderland on earth, Wang Yi's painting "Xiqiao Mountain"

A paradise, but also a wonderland on earth. Where to find such a scenery, the easiest way is to look for it in the painting. People appreciate natural landscapes, and the perception of harvest is related to many factors such as experience, aesthetics, and emotional state. It may be more intuitive to look for beauty in traditional landscape painting, after all, the painter has already presented the best side.

Wang Yi once painted a painting of "Xiqiao Mountain", and he had this feeling. The picture has momentum and feelings, representing the mature face of traditional landscape painting. Wang Yi has an over-reliance on the ancients in his creations and disregards personal characteristics. This is a shortcoming in his creation, but it becomes his strength when he paints works that can cause emotional resonance.

How to understand this sentence? If you paint the natural style, Wang Yi will definitely not be able to paint that kind of distant, deep, natural and cheerful feeling. Everyone basically has a common understanding of the paradise, and there is a similar understanding of the wonderland on earth, Wang Yi painted this kind of subject, with his familiarity with the techniques of his predecessors, the works painted are in line with everyone's cognition.

Shortcomings have become advantages, and "Creek Bridge" has become a classic in people's eyes. In fact, from a technical point of view, this painting belongs to the fine works. The painting contains the words "Meihua Daoist", which means that Wang Yi created this painting based on the technique of the famous Yuan Dynasty artist Wu Zhen. He extracted the peaceful atmosphere in Wu Zhen's works and enlarged it, giving it the graceful and atmospheric beauty presented in "Xiqiao Junling". Even if the whole work is airtight, it also makes people feel that the composition is balanced and the atmosphere is natural.

Wang Yi's landscape paintings, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. He is good at painting the landscape with full of spirits, and his works are full of breath and breath. He has a set of established creative processes, to put it mildly, his work is the eight strands of text in the painting. When he draws the first stroke, those who know him well know where the second stroke has landed. "Xiqiao Junling" is called Linfang Wuzhen's work, which actually integrates the styles of many famous artists from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The technique of "eight strands in the painting" has become the biggest shortcoming of Wang Yi in his creation. The eight strands of literature have routines, and Wang Yi's landscape paintings also have routines, which restrict the free development of painters, and routines restrict Wang Yi's higher achievements. Wonderland on earth, paradise, these good wishes, is not a "routine". Not vivid, but familiar.

The ancients liked to use the "four products" to evaluate the artistic level of a painting, and from the technical level, "Xiqiao Junling" can completely reach the realm of divine products. The highest realm is Yipin, the second-class is a divine product, and "Xiqiao Junling" is almost in the routine. If there is no routine, then this painting is a well-deserved escape. For example, like "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", the beauty of natural nature is reproduced.

High achievements and old-fashioned techniques are like a "magic spell", allowing Wang Yi to create in his comfort zone. Wang Yi is also trying to break the limitations, but when he became the leader of the art world, he lost the freedom to change. Later painters, knowing only that with the help of his achievements, slowly lost the ability to observe nature.

"Xiqiao Mountain" is a good painting, but if there are more than a dozen, or even hundreds, of similar works, it is not a good painting. Artistic creation cannot be without individuality, nor can it be the same.
