Text/Feng Haitao Painting/Fang Guangyou
Collecting calligraphy and painting should be said to be more about collecting culture. Therefore, whether it is the color, composition, brushwork and ink of the picture, it is all flesh and blood, and these cultural factors are the core value of the painting, which we usually call "meaning". This is also the reason why Chinese painting is called freehand painting. The understanding of cultural attributes, that is, the difference between each painter's choice of creative direction. Some people think that pen and ink is culture, so they study the change and use of brush and ink; Some people think that landscape humanities are culture, so he will use landscape as the theme of his creation; Some people think that flowers, birds, fish and insects are culture, so they paint flowers and birds; Some believe that talent is the core of culture, and choose the creation of figure painting. And many painters have also achieved success in their chosen fields. However, the real masters do not choose this way, they believe that culture is the ultimate embodiment of painting, and brush and ink, landscapes, flowers and birds, and human figures are only carriers and tools to carry and tell culture. The real culture is not the embodiment of the individual object, but the cultural factor given by the painter on the object.

Culture is a big proposition. Therefore, each painter creates paintings that reflect one aspect of culture, not the whole of culture. When we talk about the cultural nature of calligraphy and painting, we do not mean that calligraphy and painting works are a complete culture, but that the picture contains cultural genes, or expresses a period or a culture. Therefore, it is not important in the painting what the object of the picture is, but it is important for a certain painter, because each has its own strengths, and it is affirmed that the strengths of the painter are the most collectible works. You can understand it this way, a painter who is good at painting figures, if you collect his flower and bird paintings, then the value of his collection is only the value of the author's own reputation, and the value of the picture is not big (this paragraph, we collectors should think about it seriously!). )。
