"Pen and ink" has a solution, which is roughly the same. However, there is a common ignore. The public knows the pursuit of art, and the art of elegance. Therefore, the solution of "pen and ink" is controlled by Ya. We must know that in people and the world, fireworks are the basis of life. Ancients Cloud: Art comes from life. Like a painting, less fireworks. Talk about life! Therefore, the solution of "pen and ink" is deviated from the public, less life, less fireworks, let alone art!
Xiao Daping's works
Regarding paintings, there is a saying of elegance. And the distinction between elegance and custom is almost divided into few and many. A few recognizers are elegant, and those who appreciate them are vulgar. In the final analysis, the truth is in the hands of a few. If it is right or wrong, it is not good to evaluate. However, there is a point, "the many are true, the few are true" Who evaluates? Therefore, the "elegance" of the world's evaluation cannot be relied upon. But one thing, art comes from life. And life is about fireworks. Therefore, the heart of art, the state of art, is closely related to the breath of fireworks.
What is fireworks, the world is also a hundred! There is the most ordinary chai rice oil and salt in it, there are seven emotions and six desires in it, and there are all kinds of faces in it. It can be described as the most simple phenomenon of life. That is, the "customary" in the eyes of the world. The world has a self-definition, divided into three, six, nine, etc., and those who are high above are called "ya". For the people, it is defined as "customary". The definition of elegance is also born from this. However, society has its own definition, elegance and custom, is it determined by the crowd, talked about by the crowd! The solution of "pen and ink" is defined by the solution of identity!
The elegance of painting lies in the character, and the character is not the form of the painting, but comes from the painter. Therefore, the elegance of painting is not the definition of a single perspective of the viewer, but the sociality of the work, and the sociality depends on the artist's innocence of the art. There is no tendency mixed in, only art. Serve society with art itself. It should be known that if art adds any "color", then its artistry is no longer sound, but becomes an "art form" with another identity. For example: praise, disclosure, etc. And these are only after the emergence of art forms, using them as tools to serve society. However, this social application reduces the value of art's existence. Because it loses the most precious "innocence" of art!
