Fu Baoshi in painting
That's how I finished a painting
Text/Painting Fu Baoshi
I am a person who has no traditional skills, and I do not have any point of expertise, I just think that when I want to express a certain picture, although I risk greater danger, I still have to consider the needs of the subject matter and the responsiveness of the tool materials, and try to make the picture complete its task. Of course, I still have the most dissatisfaction in the clumsy works, but I always do my best.

When I decided on the subject matter, it was followed by composition. How to run this genre? The position of the characters, the trees and stones interspersed, at this time are nervously pondering, or unconsciously turning over the book (text or plate), waiting for the eyebrows of the abdominal manuscript to appear slightly, that is, busy using willow charcoal strips to catch the words on the paper. Scrutinize and repeat. In this process, only a certain number of points in general can be obtained, and the specific details cannot and do not have to be decided.

So the formal description, halfway thought it could not be established, I destroyed it, after destroying it, the subject matter was suspended, it was thrown aside, and another subject matter was managed. I had to wait until quite a while, and I was dreaming of the failed subject in my head, and I had to try again, and I had to wait for the next natural opportunity. Today I still have a number of subjects that I have tried and tried again and again that have not yet been painted. Of course, this is due to my own shallowness.

I think that the beauty of the picture, a self-conscious and touching beauty, its cell center does not allow for opportunistic existence, although it accepts all the jurisprudence added by the painter, but its highest task is absolutely not all the jurisprudence can be done, can be completed!

When the ink is dripping with millimeters, what is a pen, what is paper, and even everything will be unclear. This is not a myth, nor is the history of Song Yuanjun's paintings recorded in zhuangzi outer chapters, "untying clothes and discs". Therefore, I like the beauty of the picture shape, which is not lacking in the chaos of the coarse clothes.

Chaotic and rough clothes cannot become a quiet atmosphere, and strict and delicate can be achieved by non-indulgent pen and ink, and the two are harmonious and suitable for it. I paint landscapes, is to make full use of the contrast of two different pen and ink to make the picture "move", Yunfeng tree stone, if you want to indulge in recklessness, then the character house, must be fine decoration. According to the traditional theory of Chinese painting, I often like the technique of landscape figures using the technique below the Yuan, while the character palace viewing props are above the Southern Song Dynasty. This situation is the most remarkable of the clumsy works of this exhibition.

One of the paintings in my mind is an organism. But is this the case with a painting in my hand? Of course not.
Every time I paint, I have a goal in mind to measure my results. Therefore, on the picture, if it feels that the time has come to the right time, I will strangle the pen, linger for a while, and if I can stop, I will stop it. It is clear that a bridge can be built somewhere, and even if you don't draw a bridge, this road is not open, I don't care about it. Or a certain mountain, a certain peak, a certain stone, has not completed the processing that should be done, and it does not matter. Or the house has only one side, it doesn't make sense, and I don't care about it. I only want the proper expression of the certain realm I want to represent, and I think that this picture has gained a reason for its existence.
