Liu Dawei
The homology of calligraphy and painting is recognized by everyone, and many friends outside the circle also believe that art is connected. But in the world of calligraphy and painting, there is such a conclusion, those who can write will not necessarily paint, but those who can paint will definitely be calligraphy. Why? The main reason is that Chinese paintings need to be paid, and if the words of the falling paragraph are not written well, it will affect the texture of the entire painting. Therefore, there is such a conclusion, and today we bring you a person who is proficient in calligraphy and painting. He is Liu Dawei, chairman of the China Artists Association. Liu Dawei, born in 1945, his ancestral home is Zhucheng, Shandong. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Inner Mongolia Normal University in 1968. In 1980, he graduated from the postgraduate class of the Chinese Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He is currently a professor and director of the Fine Arts Department of the PEOPLE's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, the vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the chairman of the China Artists Association.
Appreciation of calligraphy works should be judged from the two perspectives of breath (style) and technique, and skilled admirers will generally go from large to small, first macroscopic and then microscopic. Personally, I think that when looking at the work, you can first look at the dot painting and then look at the word and then look at the chapter, of course, this is undoubtedly an appreciation angle. But usually, we will first freeze the maturity of the work by looking at the "breath" of the whole work from a distance. Of course, this "breath" is not an intuitive impression, because before there is sufficient appreciation experience, the intuitive impression can be said to be very difficult to withstand scrutiny and even make a judgment contrary to the actual level of the work. Therefore, I personally believe that in the high-level stage, it is usually possible to see its breath at a glance and taste the style of the work. After this is the level of technique, the quality of the pointillist painting, the harmony of the structure and the overall correction can be investigated to determine the technical height of the work. The height of the technique is determined not only by proficiency, but also by the difficulty of the technique.
In order to improve the level of calligraphy appreciation, the first thing is to learn the theoretical knowledge of calligraphy, and to improve their vision according to the theoretical knowledge compared with the calligraphy works of ancient masters. The second point is to summarize the characteristics of ancient calligraphy, from the subtle treatment to understand the calligraphy characteristics of each word, the whole to the part of the whole work must be understood thoroughly, to know where each word in the part is good, and what deficiencies must be analyzed in place. The third best thing is to put it in itself, personally experience and feel the change and aesthetic strength of every stroke of every word. Fourth, we must also learn and appreciate aesthetics, and appreciate more aesthetic differences between ancient and modern, including painting and design. It is important to appreciate a masterpiece as a whole, to be able to understand its spatial variation, strength, and taste. It is also necessary to study and study the position of the payment, the position of the seal and the overall collocation relationship. Only constantly appreciate, copy and learn, often watching some famous painting and calligraphy exhibitions. As long as you do this, keep learning to practice appreciation. Your aesthetic standards will get higher and higher.
Most of today's calligraphy is carefully choreographed. Think of calligraphy as a house repair, build a framework first, and then fill in the content. I think that the calligraphy masterpieces of the ancients should have first reached a certain realm, and then naturally came true. If you arrange things of what size, density, and so on while writing, how can you achieve natural natural success?
Writing is only the way each person uses the pen, the writing personality is different, of course, there must be a certain standard Celebrity characters who write well are touted, becoming such and such a body, ordinary obscure people write well and no one hypes, can not get the approval of the so-called calligraphers People say that you are a jianghu body, in fact, calligraphy In addition to the standardization of writing, there is also the ability of the word to have power, there is no other such and such complexity
