Today, the older generation of artists are getting more and more attention for their unique artistic charm and important contributions to the development of Chinese art. Mr. Zhang Renzhi, a famous painter of the Beijing Academy of Painting, is one of them. He occupied an important place in the development of Chinese landscape painting in the middle and late last century.

But some people also questioned why Zhang Renzhi's paintings circulating on the market were very few and the value was not as high as imagined.
(More than 10 years ago, the auction price of Mr. Zhang Renzhi's works reached 200,000-300,000 yuan, but there is still a certain distance from the front line.) ）
We can find the answer from his resume: in addition to undertaking the task of creating National Paintings by the State and the government for more than 60 years, most of his works in various periods have been collected, studied and displayed by the National Art Museum of China, the National Museum of China, the China Artists Association, the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Beijing Academy of Painting and some provincial and municipal art museums, and celebrity memorials. The Beijing Academy of Painting, where he has worked for many years, has a collection of as many as 24 of his works.
His works are collected by state organs and art professional institutions (partial):
Fu Baoshi, Guan Shanyue's "So Many Delicacies in the Rivers and Mountains" and Zhang Renzhi's "Hundred Flowers Mountain Herding Horse Map" entered the Great Hall of the People in Tibet in the same year, and the two works jointly laid the height of the palace art.

From the collection system of the National Art Museum of China,
Look at the value of Mr. Zhang Renzhi's works!
As the only state-level art museum in China, the National Art Museum of China has the right and obligation to exercise the collection of fine art works on behalf of the state.
Regarding the standards for collecting works, the official website of the National Art Museum of China clearly points out that from the second half of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century, excellent works of art with individual styles and distinctive characteristics of the times in Chinese art activities and art creation, as well as excellent works of famous painters and representative schools in various regions, and fine art works that have reached the national level.
Zhang Renzhi's works have been collected by the National Art Museum of China for four times
(Only fine art works with far-reaching influence in the history of Chinese art will be displayed in the official website of the National Art Museum of China for a long time in the "Works in the Collection")
Mr. Zhang Renzhi's 1984 "Standing in a Thousand Autumns" was selected for the "Centennial Chinese Painting Exhibition" jointly organized by the Art Department of the former Ministry of Culture, the China Artists Association, the National Art Museum of China and the Chinese Painting Research Institute, and was collected by the National Art Museum of China. The National Art Museum of China's evaluation of Zhang Renzhi's masterpiece "Standing in a Thousand Autumns" is that the author has created a monument of caution with heavy pen and ink and desolate and tragic tones, which has a deep spiritual connotation.
In 1991, Zhang Renzhi's works "Impression of Jinnan", "Mountain Village Autumn Twilight" and "Jinnan Autumn" were selected for the "Invitation Exhibition of Chinese Landscape Painting" sponsored by the Chinese Painting Academy; among them, "Mountain Village Autumn Twilight" was collected by the National Art Museum of China.
Zhang Renzhi's "Early Spring" is in the collection of the National Art Museum of China
In 1998, Mr. Zhang Renzhi's work "Early Spring" was collected by the National Art Museum of China. The "Early Spring" series is Zhang Renzhi's masterpiece. In this painting, the branches are intertwined, which looks like a curtain view, and the warm spring mood is refreshing. The picture is filled with a harmonious and moving musical melody.
He is always in nature, capturing the scent of early spring and infecting the viewer with joy through the brush.
In 2010, Zhang Renzhi's work "Beihai Songyun" was approved by the Collection Appraisal Committee of the National Art Museum of China and was once again collected by the National Art Museum of China.
Qi Baishi's worker worms we once felt ingenious,
When I really understand it, it is already a sky-high price!
Huang Binhong's "black ink" painting circle once did not recognize,
When I really understand it, it is already a sky-high price!
When the works of the master can be understood,
The market price is "incomprehensible"...
Zhang Renzhi's work "Poetic Perch on the Li River"
Mr. Zhang Renzhi once used the poem of Wu Changshuo, a giant of Chinese painting, "Painting should be out of one's own mind, imitating the dust and dirt." Even if it can be like this, it has fallen behind the ancients" to express the voice of the heart, painting and creation, to start from their own feelings, to express their personal artistic style. The art market needs to go through a period of time or even a long period of research to truly enter the world of painters' brush and ink.
Zhang Renzhi, "Winter is about to pass, will spring be far away"
From the works collected by the Palace Museum, the China Artists Association, the Beijing Academy of Painting and other art institutions, such as "Youzhou Creek Stream", "Qingshan Jicui", "Alpine Flowing Water", "Qiushan Qingdao" and other works, we can see that it is his deep integration of the accumulation of the essence of traditional culture for decades, the perfect integration of traditional culture and art with the spirit of pen and ink given by the times, in order to get the attention and love of many professional art institutions, and has been highly praised by the art community.
It's not wise to follow suit
Zhang Renzhi,"Sleeping Mountain Village"
In recent years, the situation of the painting and calligraphy market has become more and more intense, Zhang Daqian's works have been photographed well, many people have collected Zhang Daqian's works as a market orientation; Qi Baishi set a record, and soon Qi Brush's eyes were aimed at Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, after hundreds of millions, the market mushroomed like Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi's works... This model of following the trend of collecting is actually a deformed manifestation of the art market and a manifestation of the immaturity of collectors. In fact, important artists such as Mr. Zhang Renzhi, who have made important contributions to the history of art but are ignored by the market, are the ones who should be collected the most.
When you don't know an artist, you may want to refer to the eyes of a professional art organization. The choice of the National Art Museum of China, which represents the national collection of fine art works, can never be wrong!
