Void Valley: Noble character, fresh picture, innovation does not lose the contemporary!

When I first saw such a painting,

Whether he was infected by that strong secular atmosphere

Such a cute and cute painting style,

Can't help but want to find out

Who is this painter?

Wu Guanzhong said:

"Every time I see his work, I see him as if he were a person

Feel familiar and intimate

A thousand glasses of wine per confidant

It's a pity that he was a hundred years away from us. ”

He is the Qing Dynasty painter monk Xugu

Xugu (1823~ 1896), a famous flower and bird painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, together with Ren Bonian, Pu Hua and Wu Changshuo, was named "The Four Masters of the Late Qing Dynasty Hai School", and was known as "the first painting garden in the late Qing Dynasty". Commonly known as Zhu, the name Huairen, the monk's name is vain, the character is virtual valley, alias Ziyang Shanmin, Tired Crane, room name Jue Fei An, Gubai Caotang, Thirty-Seven Peaks Caotang. He was born in Xin'an (present-day SheXian County, Anhui) and lived in Guangling (present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu). The first General of the Qing Army fought against the Taiping Army, and he was touched, and later became a monk. He is good at painting flowers and fruits, animals, birds, landscapes, and is especially good at painting squirrels and goldfish.

You've probably heard about art history

Together with Ren Bonian, Wu Changshuo and Pu Hua, he was called the "Four Houses of the Sea"

But unlike the other three

He took the "little fresh" route

Don't believe it

He does not paint the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums that the literati have expressed their feelings

And prefer to paint some farm vegetables

For example, eggplant, cabbage, radish, pumpkin

Or grapes, loquats, apples

Or puffer fish, bamboo shoots and other fresh

The mood in the painting is so intimate and moving

For literati paintings of the time

What a cool and cheerful breeze

As can be seen from these works

Xu Gu is an artist with a lot of fun in life

When he was a general in the Qing Army

He could become a monk on a whim

However, as a monk, he did not enter the monastery and did not pay homage to the Buddha

Such a bohemian character

You must think he is

Unruly and unruly people

Non-also non-also

According to the history of painting

Selling paintings in the Virtual Valley is a self-defined limit

Always place the deposit side by side with the paper after each acceptance of the order

After the completion of the painting, the gold is moved

So much so that after his death, a batch of unfinished finals was found

Runjin next to it did not move

This shows the purity of his character

The expression of the void valley for the worldly sentiment,

For the closeness of melons, fruits, vegetables and vegetables,

It is the accumulation of agricultural civilization

Peaceful self-sufficiency and simple and beautiful feelings

Although we don't know the state of mind of his painting at that time,

But a hundred years later,

People are still amazed by the beautiful artworks of the Void Valley

These paintings are like a bright moon on paper, and the brilliance is timeless

It was as if he could see the breeze of his bright moon predecessor

Let's enjoy the artistic charm of the virtual valley!
