The calligraphy work of Chinese painting master Li Keyan,000 yuan "Ten Thousand Years Too Long to Fight for the Day" averaged 280,000 yuan a word, and many people felt that his word was "jianghu body", which was not well written at all, and this character was finally sold at a high price of 2.53 million yuan at the Guardian auction. But some people have also criticized that the term "jianghu body" is a slander against the older generation of artists, and Li Keyan's calligraphy skills are very deep and solid, and the pen and knot body have ancient legal origins.
As an outstanding painter in modern China, Li Keyan studied under Qi Baishi, in fact, his calligraphy also has a slight charm of Qi Baishi and has some golden stone atmosphere. Li Keyan has loved painting since childhood, and is good at painting landscape figures, especially cattle. The calligraphy work "10,000 Years Too Long to Fight for the Day" was created by him in 1989.
His painting work is profound, beyond reproach, is the high mountain of the modern Chinese painting world, pay attention to the use of the greatest skill to paint into, and then use the greatest courage to play out, emphasizing that from simple to rich, and then return to simplicity, so that the art of landscape painting has gained a new life, his paintings are mainly ink, thick and thick. Fusion of tradition, Western law and nature.
Li Keyan loves to paint cattle the most, his cattle are full of interest in life, Mr. Lao She once bought his paintings of cattle, loved it to the extreme, said I love those few brushstrokes of cattle!
Mr. Li Keyan studied Wang Xizhi, Zhao Mengfu and Shi Tao in his early years of calligraphy, and he liked to search for books and posts, especially loved Wei Steles, and he deeply understood the essence and integrated them. The pen is flexible, has a distinct personality, and is self-contained. Li Keyan's wife recalled that in the 60s, because of environmental reasons, there was no way to paint, so he could only write often, copying Yan Zhenqing, Wei Bei, han li zhu ti, and transcribing poems. Li Kejian self-deprecatingly called it "sauce dang body", which is the word on the door of pickle shops and pawnshops.
Judging from Li Keyan's calligraphy works, his calligraphy reached its peak in the late 1970s. With a steady and accurate pen, unlike many people now think that the jianghu body is different, the key to the knot body and the qi naturally infiltrates the beauty of "rising ink". His words are integrated into the flow of the grass, and there is also a kind of strong and strong between the lines, and the overall personality is distinct, which is very attractive. No matter what price is auctioned, art itself is priceless. #书法 #
