Hello Tibetan friends, today we have invited the then descendant of Qi Baishi, a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, the president of the China Qi Baishi Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, a visiting professor of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, the official image spokesperson of NetEase Group, the specially invited director of teaching and research, a contracted painter of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts and Rong Bao Zhai, an expert in the identification of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting big data, and the president of the Shanghai Qi Baishi Art Research Association. Mr. Tang Fazhou, the chief operating officer of Baishi Shantang Culture Media, once heard his master, Qi Baishi's youngest daughter, Qi Liangzhi, say that in the world of art, the boundary between authenticity and falsehood is often like rice paper as thin as a cicada's wings, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the whirlpool of counterfeiting and forgery. This topic is even more important when we talk about the works of Qi Baishi, a giant of modern Chinese painting. How do you identify a real Qi Baishi work? Especially his popular "Diary of a Dead Man". Let's follow the guidance of Qi Baishi's successor Qi Liangzhi's disciple Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting appraiser Tang Fazhou to unveil this mystery together.
First of all, before appreciating any work of art, we need to wash the dust on our hearts and face these treasures of history with an almost reverent mind. As Tang Fazhou, the director of Qi Baishi Painting and Calligraphy Academy and a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, the third-generation descendant of Qi Baishi, said: "The key to identifying art treasures lies in the details. The most immediate and crucial part of this is to look at the "paper" used. So, what secrets about paper are revealed in "The Diary of Guimao"?
It is said that "Diary of Zhu Mao" records the last years of the artist's life. During this period, due to his advanced age and deterioration of eyesight, his brushstrokes became deeper and more powerful through the back of the paper. In the selection of paper, he is also more elegant, preferring to use tough and old rice paper. This kind of paper not only carries the unique charm given by time, but also through the natural aging process, its color will show a sense of simplicity that is difficult to imitate. Therefore, if you want to distinguish between a real and fake "Diary", the first thing is to carefully distinguish how old the paper is and whether it exudes the kind of atmosphere that has been precipitated by time.
The next step is to examine the words and images that come to life. Qi Baishi is painted with his unique seal script, and integrates the cursive brushstrokes, forming his own distinctive style of writing. Every stroke and every stroke exudes strong emotions and vitality of life. In terms of painting, it shows his originality - depicting small scenes in daily life in a concise and vivid way, achieving the artistic effect of both form and spirit. In the case of a fake, no amount of virtuosity can replicate the originality and emotional depth that comes from the master's heart.
In addition, we should also pay attention to the story behind the work and its heritage. For example, as one of the important works of the artist's late period, "Diary of Gui Mao" should have a detailed historical record and circulation process. A complete documentary support undoubtedly provides strong evidence for the determination of authenticity.
To sum up, Tang Fazhou, a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, the director of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting academy, said that although the authenticity of a work can be judged by carefully observing the formal factors that can be directly accessed such as paper, pen and ink, and seals, it is more important to feel the spiritual essence contained in it. Only when technology and soul reflect each other can we truly touch the depths of the soul of the artwork, so as to make an accurate evaluation and appraisal of national treasure-level cultural relics such as "Diary of Guimao". Ultimately, we need to recognize that both collectors and casual enthusiasts need to develop an eye that can perceive the essence of art. Only in this way can you find your own bright color in the complex sea of works. For such a precious cultural heritage as "The Diary of Zhu Mao", every careful interpretation and appreciation is a rediscovery and tribute to its value. Let us continue on this journey of exploration with a sense of awe and deepen our understanding and love for traditional Chinese culture.
