Ancients Cloud: Paintings are not conventional, paintings are not secular, for the work of painters, the picture has its own transcendent and elegant realm. Painters should not be bound by their predecessors, but should establish their own laws on top of the laws established by the sages. However, remember that you can go beyond the methods of the sages, but you cannot go beyond the rules of Chinese painting, and you should do your best to present the best posture of Chinese painting. The creation of Chinese painting can only show the charm and interest of The Fa derived from the cultural attributes of Chinese painting.
Liu Bingxin's landscape paintings
There is tuna in the painting, there is wind and rain, and there is the heart of the four hours to obtain the charm of heaven and earth. And where does this come from? Many people may think that it lies in the painter's "pen and ink". It should be noted that although the painting appears in "pen and ink", the meaning in the painting is also derived from "pen and ink", but the pen and ink is only a superficial representative. Just like planning and execution, the night of a thing seems to be completed by the executor, and the light shines on the executor, but the completion of this thing is based on the planner behind the scenes. Therefore, for Chinese painting, "pen and ink" is only executed, and the real behind-the-scenes is the painter's accumulation over the years, the books he reads, the roads he takes, and the experiences in the red dust.
"Painting has elegant meaning, painting has kitsch" However, the cognition of elegant meaning and kitsch is different, and in yayi and kitsch, a new definition has emerged because of aesthetics, that is, this is "what is painted". The cognition of elegance and kitsch varies from person to person, and there are also multiple dividing lines between custom and elegance, some people think that this is ya, some people think that this is vulgar, and those who can distinguish between ya and vulgarity have also appeared a number of points of controversy. However, there is a point, that is, there are few people who think that this painting is elegant, and it is basically aesthetic and realm, and those who think that this painting is more elegant are basically groups that do not know that this beauty is beautiful. But this definition is also the least recognized. So what is elegance and what is vulgarity?
The only equality between people is that we are all human beings, and the others are not equal, which is why such a colorful world will appear, although the gray time is relatively long. The same is true of the understanding of beauty, in different educational backgrounds, in the difference in age, in different regions, etc. will produce different aesthetics, so naturally there will be different understandings of beauty. In this case, "what is elegant and what is vulgar"? (Leave this question mark!) Give everyone a thought, I hope to play a role in enlightenment! Thank you! ）
