The point scene in the landscape painting has to look at Shen Zhou!
The dot scene of landscape painting is the painter's high-level summary to further express the inherent meaning of the scenery in order to highlight the theme idea, interspersed with some small things in the whole painting, adding the interest of the picture and enabling the viewer to have a deeper sensory experience. Dot view is a unique term in landscape painting, which is relatively a special object on the screen. Although it appears in a secondary position in the picture, it can affect the beauty of the whole picture with a small view. The "point" can be understood as less, the so-called less is a little smaller. Although the dot scene is a small scene, it must also be painted to convey the spirit and play the role of finishing touch. The dot scene is mainly divided into two categories: one is the house, boat, bridge and other artificially built things, and the other is people, livestock, birds and so on. After all, landscape painting is mainly based on mountains and rivers, and the dot scene should not be too much to avoid the hustle and bustle. Setting up a pavilion and a house in the middle of the rolling hills and dense woods or embellishing one person and one bird can bring about the artistic effect of finishing touches. Therefore, the point scene setting should conform to objective reality and not do whatever you want, and coordinate with the style of the whole painting.
Shen Zhousheng likes to travel, and most of his paintings with documentary themes are composed of natural mountains, clouds, waterfalls and other scenery. More is still to point into the combination of human life activities and natural scenery of the theme, to the real existence of the scenery and human activities to show the natural interest, here is indispensable is the author's subjective feelings, and this kind of feeling is often through the pen and ink and point scene setting to convey, such a work will be the subjective "intention" and the objective "realm" combined to produce the best embodiment of the artistic conception. Some of the dot scenes set by Shen Zhou in his documentary paintings are real scenes, and some are added to add the meaning of the painting. Although the position occupied by these point scenes set by Shen Tong is not large, there is no sloppy place in terms of intention or skill, so as to increase the appeal of the picture and can be coordinated with the picture.
In his "Wuzhong Landscape Album", the "Late Over Long Swing" album has half of the blank on the canvas, only a lonely boat moored on the water, surrounded by a piece of reeds swaying with the wind, thus strengthening the emptiness of the long swing." Although the "lonely boat" here exists as a pen of point scenes, the author also integrates a certain subjective feeling, and its finishing touch is to support the "empty" meaning of "long swing". The point view here is designed for the "realm". In the "West Mountain in the Rain" page, the broad pen is firm, showing the misty rain and the forest trees swaying in the rain, the mountains are even more looming, and there is a person in the stone house sitting quietly watching the rain. The dot scene figures in this work support the quiet environment of the "West Mountain in the Rain" with hazy rain and swaying leaves, and also emphasize the ideal leisure of the literati. This is for the sake of "meaning".
Shen Zhou also has some works depicting real landscapes that include dot figures, boats, boats, houses and birds that are born for "realm" and "meaning". Such as "Two Rivers Scenic Spots" and "Twelve Views of Wumen". "Dongting West Rain Map", "Sutai Jisheng Map". "Zhang Gongdong Map". "Lingyin Mountain Map", "Flying Peak Map", etc. The point scenes set in these works not only highlight the objective characteristics, but also integrate a certain sense of viewing. Shen Zhou's other travelogues also have more emphasis on subjective emotions, and the role of the point scene is like a human face. It expresses the mood of the painter. The "face" that wants to express the same scenery but can be expressed according to the author's mood also presents a very different expression. For example, although "Xishan Jiyu Tu" and "Xishan Rain View Map" are also works depicting the scenery of Xishan Mountain in Dongting, Suzhou, the subjective mood of the author expressed in the two works is completely opposite. "Journey map of the Western Mountains" This volume is the work of Shen Zhouji's tour of the Western Mountains, and the painting shows the forest woods and mountains. Bibo sets up the point scene of the boat, and writes the scenery of Wu Zhongshan Mingshui Xiu. Such a point scene even reflects the author's expressive and suitable interest: and "Xishan Rain View" tells the author's depressed state of mind of "choosing to bury his old wife" in Xishan, in such a low-mood and addictive painting, the author's point scene a house, under the influence of subjective mood, also appears gloomy and miserable, and it also shows the author's depressed feelings and the gray tone of the painting. In this way, the realm presented by the dot scene in this painting is naturally different from the previous picture.
"Dongzhuang Tu" depicts the manor built by the family of Shen Zhou's teacher Chen Kuan, which belongs to the genre of secluded manors in the documentary landscape. The Dongzhuang Tu is painted on a small album page, and he borrows the Techniques of the Song Dynasty. Carefully depicted, it shows the scenery of Dongzhuang, which has been operated by the Chen father and son brothers for decades. In these 21 scenes, the range of point scenes is relatively wide, and the figures, boats and bridges, houses and birds are included in them, and these point scenes also give the painter a great help in adding the mood in the painting. For example, the characters who stand on the top of the mountain in order to show the emptiness of "Zhenyigang". It expresses Shen Zhou's admiration for the teacher's lofty aspirations; the house in the "Crane Cave" in the Xie, the crane and the Minghuo", which shows Shen Zhou's admiration for the teacher's wind under the forest: there are three small boats on the water, and the people on the boat are concentrating on this labor scene, suggesting the comfortable and free self-entertainment mood that the author yearns for. The different point scenes in these pictures reproduce the beautiful environment of Shen Zhou's teacher Chen Kuan's manor "suitable for living and traveling" and Shen Zhou's admiration for the teacher. However, in the 21 scenes in the "Dongzhuang Atlas", although the point scene figures, boats, houses and birds have only a small foothold, the viewer can see the author's admiration for the teacher from this small point scene, whether it is the activities of the characters in the frame, the dot scene environment around the people, or the birds and birds kept in the master's main garden. Admiration overflows under the brush.
Shen Zhouwei shows the kind of leisure, quietness, quietness, elegance, elegance, literature and leisure that the literati pursue to express, and the subjective "meaning" is usually at the critical point of the picture, seemingly unintentional but very ingenious to draw the characters, boats and bridges, and houses. Birds on the picture, such a point scene often occupies a small position on the picture, but it is precisely such a small point scene, as if the finishing touch, so that the picture mood appears. Shen Zhou's changeable landscape forms and expression methods drive the variety and shadow of the dot scene, and its dot scene may have the beauty of the decorative picture; or there is an expression of his ideal: or there is a hint of the author's mood and so on. These dot scenes have played an extremely important role in promoting the lyrical and scene blending of Shen Zhou's literati paintings. Among its many point scenes, whether it is the atmospheric point scene figures in landscape paintings that help to strengthen the picture, or the point view houses that can reflect the regional characteristics in landscape paintings, as well as the dot scenes such as boats and birds with different forms, the artistic conception in the west of the landscape is very different and meaningful. These seemingly inadvertent but ingenuity sketched out the dot scenes make the artistic conception in Shen Zhou's paintings very distinctive, and also make Shen Zhou's landscapes loved by different people at that time.
