Huang Binhong (27 January 1865 – 25 March 1955)
The initial name was Mao Qian, later changed to the name Quality, the word Pu Cun, the number Binhong, do not sign to Xiang. Originally from She County, Huizhou, Anhui, he was born in Jinhua, Zhejiang.
At the age of six, he can copy the family collection of Shen Tingrui (Zhangya) landscape book,
At the age of thirteen, he took the boy's test and was at the top of the list.
At the age of sixteen, he graduated from Kim Hoa Hoa Jong College. He made friends with Ni Suquan and Jiang Liansheng.
At the age of twenty-one, he was a tutor and was appointed as a recorder for the two Huai Salt Transport Envoys.
Huang Binhong is good at painting landscapes, occasionally making flowers, part-time calligraphy and seal engraving, and has long been committed to the history of art and the teaching of Chinese painting.
He taught the ancients to start from the Ming Dynasty and went straight after the Northern Song Dynasty, and took the Yuan as the return, and the master did not learn from his traces.
Shi Zhaohua expands to the surrounding areas based on the Huangshan Mountains, looks at the mountains and looks into the bone marrow, and takes pictures at the end of the pen.
His landscapes present a variety of faces due to the different lyricisms and pen and ink chapters, but the overall style is thick and rich, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.
In his later years, his works showed a face that had never been seen before.
Mr. Huang Binhong's noble character also lies in his rigorous academic attitude.
Mr. Li was born with wisdom and extensive knowledge, not only good at playing the piano and swords, but also knowing poetry, and proficient in scripture and ancient chinese.
But he was not satisfied, extremely devoted, lifelong, in more than eighty years of reading, writing, painting, writing without interruption.
He often said: "The way of learning is endless, and it is necessary to learn deeply and ask a lot of questions." ”
Huang Binhong's refining of tradition goes hand in hand with his focus on sketching.
In the early years, it was influenced by the "Xin'an School of Painting", and was characterized by dry brushstrokes and light ink, sparse and light, and was "Bai Binhong".
After the age of eighty, it is characterized by black dense and thick, black and transparent, and is "black binhong".
The work attaches great importance to the unity of the virtual, simple, and dense in the chapters; the pen is refined and dignified, vigorous and powerful, and there is a strange interest in the rigorous writing.
The so-called "black, dense, thick and heavy" painting style is his remarkable feature.
The magic of pen and ink, especially in the dense, dense, sparse boat.
However, it is necessary to be able to be sparse in the dense, dense in the dense, secret can not be committed, sparse and not separated, not sticky and not off.
Huang Binhong's paintings are pavilions built on the basis of calligraphy, and its solidity and height are related to calligraphy.
As a generation of masters of Chinese landscape painting, Huang Binhong is a painter of very important status in the chinese modern and contemporary painting world.
Its black, dense, thick and heavy painting style and thick Huazi pen and ink contain the great spirit of the Chinese nation's unremitting self-improvement, thick virtue and the aesthetic orientation of natural beauty.
For decades, Huang Binhong's paintings have been widely concerned by the art world, and gradually released a huge amount of energy, influencing the Chinese painting world today.
Calligraphy has a unique practical significance for Huang Binhong, and is the "source of living water" for his pen and ink and painting methods.
Huang Binhong's emphasis on the basic emphasis and practical operation of calligraphy on literati freehand painting almost accompanied him throughout his life.
No one has actively applied the principles of calligraphy to painting like Huang Binhong, and achieved such a high realistic effect.
His paintings were sent to friends in vain and did not want them
Huang Binhong, like Qi Baishi, has said that painting is the way of loneliness, but Huang Binhong's loneliness is in his lifetime, and it is not an ordinary loneliness.
He once took out his painting and gave it to the visitor, but the visitor refused, saying that your painting is black, I can't understand it, Huang Binhong is very embarrassed, so he had to take the painting back.
At that time, Huang Binhong's art was not favored by fashion, but Huang Binhong said to his students, fifty years later, you take out my paintings and frame them, then people may be able to understand my paintings.
It can be seen that Huang Binhong's loneliness before his death is combined with his confidence in his own future life.
Huang Binhong had never ascended to a height before he was born, like Xu Beihong, he had never turned red and purple, like Qi Baishi.
He used all his wealth to collect ancient artifacts, ancient seals, ancient calligraphy and paintings, but in his daily life he was often stretched, not a particularly rich person, and he was not a person who was good at management and speculation.
In terms of winning social reputation, he cannot be compared with Zhang Daqian, although both of them are called "Daqian", and Huang Binhong was also called "Daqian" at that time.
Huang Binhong is great
His greatness is not only reflected in the professional super level, but also in his pampered and undisturbed immersion in Shen Xiong's vast artistic research.
The reputation of people, the insults of people, and the disdain of people have nothing to do with him! It is a spirit, a concentration, a belief, and all of this stems from his great qualities and styles that are sincerely admired, admired, and willing to worship!
