Earlier we talked about a painting by Xu Beihong, who painted Kang Youwei to celebrate his 60th birthday, and painted Kang Youwei and his aunts and wives.
This time, several masters also created a congratulatory picture for Zhang Shuliang in Suzhou.
Zhang Daqian and Mei Lanfang, the works of dozens of famous artists: Zhang Shuliang's 42-year-old birthday map!
Before liberation, there were still ancient gifts to their friends to celebrate their birthdays. Either write poetry or send paintings, or write a calligraphy work of your own.
The exchange and collision between cultures, the exchange of pen and ink between literati, is actually the meaning of courtesy and light affection. Especially if several masters of painting meet together, and everyone improvises after drinking and eating, the work is naturally liked.
Zhang Daqian and Mei Lanfang, as well as Wu Hufan, Feng Chaoran, Wang Zhen, and others, together created a heshou map for Zhang Shuliang. At that time, Zhang Shuliang was only 42 years old, but at that time, he was a big figure in the Suzhou press, and his social status was also a pivotal existence.
This work is actually not a work of personal style, after all, it is an improvisation by so many masters. The brushwork and painting characteristics are very interesting, not focused on one person, but also a collection of everyone's brushwork skills and characteristics.
Hu Hanmin, Mei Lanfang, and some of the masters mentioned above, each of them collected their best paintings or calligraphy works on this Heshou painting, while Zhang Shuliang sat in the middle to receive the painting of the birthday ceremony.
In addition, there is a seal engraver Chu Deyi as an inscription, the creation of dozens of famous artists, it is estimated that this work can not be measured by price.
Do you feel that this person's work is colorful and green, and every detail is vivid, there is a sense of the immediacy of the New Year painting.
After all, it belongs to the collection of many famous artists, but the main theme of the birthday has not changed. There are cranes and bats, there are flowers and swallows, all the details of the painting are very in place, and each stroke has its own representative significance.
Many netizens said that the plum blossoms painted by Mei Lanfang are powerful, and it is estimated that next to Zhang Shuliang's characters, some flowers are painted by Mei Lanfang. The character in the middle, it is estimated that Zhang Daqian's handwriting, is very realistic in his painting style, and the brushwork is really wonderful.
Like this kind of collection of paintings of masters, it is estimated that there is only one in the world. In fact, like this kind of painting, its value and significance can not be truly measured, painting about human feelings, telling stories between celebrities.
