This afternoon, the exhibition of "Inheritance - Feng Jianwu Cen Xuegong, Liu Pu Ye Ruikun", which has aroused heated discussion in the industry, will open at the Years Art Museum.
Four artists, 138 masterpieces (more than 80 works for collectors to collect), try to outline the basic landscape of Bashu landscape for more than half a century, many of which have never been seen on the market.
Wei Xuefeng, the academic host of the exhibition and chief expert of the Sichuan Museum, summed up, "In the series of exhibitions of the Tianfu School, the joint exhibition of these two pairs of teachers and students is particularly eye-catching. They belong to the most prominent landscape painters in Sichuan in the mid and late 20th century. This kind of artistic undertaking relationship just opens up a piece of history and continues to write a legend. ”

Guan Mintang, vice president of the Provincial Academy of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting and vice chairman of the Provincial Artists Association, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily yesterday that Feng Jianwu and Cen Xuegong, as the most representative landscape painters in Sichuan, are the pioneers of contemporary Bashu landscape painting. "In my opinion, historically, Bashu landscape painting has not been developed accordingly, but Sichuan's natural mountain water resources are the most abundant places in the country. The two gentlemen practiced what they preached, exploring and painting a new landscape for us. In particular, Mr. Cen Xuegong, the first art consultant of the Provincial Academy of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting, walked from Inner Mongolia to Sichuan that year, as a student of Mr. Xu Beihong of the National Central University of the Arts at that time, he had the opportunity to follow Xu Beihong to Beijing, but because he was nostalgic for the beautiful mountains and rivers of Sichuan, he resolutely stayed in Bashu and devoted his life to creating for the magnificence of the Three Gorges. The 'Three Gorges School' was initially established, which laid a very good foundation for later study and set a good example. Created a new bashu landscape painting style. Mr. Feng Jianwu's landscape works, which are imposing and majestic, are different from other artists with pen and method, and set a new model for the Bashu landscape school. Liu Pu and Ye Ruikun, as students of Mr. Feng Jianwu and Mr. Cen Xuegong respectively, inherited the artistic spirit of their predecessors, and are one of the outstanding representatives of today's Sichuan Chinese painters, and have also created their own personal styles, with unique flavor and artistic value. ”

Wei Xuefeng also mentioned that the works of Feng Jianwu and Cen Xuegong have traveled through the ages, and the works of Liu Pu and Ye Ruikun are more breathtaking; the works of the second elder are better than ink, and the works of Liu Pu and Ye Ruikun are better than ink. The works of the four show the viewer the beauty of pen and ink, the beauty of wisdom, and the beauty of spirituality.

As a co-organizer of this exhibition, Yuan Haizhong, executive vice president of Sichuan Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and director of Sichuan Zheshang Art Museum, contributed a number of blockbuster collections for art fans to appreciate. Located in Hongkou, Dujiangyan, Sichuan Zheshang Art Museum, known by Yuan Haizhong as "the art museum in the mountains", as a warm-up exhibition before the opening of the art museum, "inheritance" aims to promote and inherit the artistic value of Sichuan artists, "the cultural value and commercial value of Sichuan artists are not well excavated." This time, we and the Years Art Museum jointly organized the exhibition, trying to pursue its commercial value and social value sharing. Holding the mentality of public welfare to do the exhibition, it is possible that there will be unexpected gains. ”

As a senior collector, Yuan Haizhong has successively collected the works of many first-line artists who have passed away in Sichuan in the past few years, such as Chen Zizhuang, Wu Yifeng, Feng Jianwu, Li Qiongjiu, Cen Xuegong, etc., as well as many works by Artists such as Peng Xiancheng, Liu Pu, Guo Ruyu, Ye Ruikun, Guan Minzhuan, Liu Deyang, Chen Chengji, Wei Kui, Zhong Shimin and so on. "There needs to be a platform to collect, manage, and display these works of art. With the transformation of the industry, I also began to move closer to the cultural industry from the industry. I am from Pinghu, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, as an outsider to Sichuan to do folk art museums, my thinking and positioning should be different from Sichuan's folk art museums. I think it should be a cross-border art museum between the two provinces, similar to the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, serving Zhejiang and Sichuan. Send out artists from Sichuan, invite the collections of artists and art institutions outside the province to share with the Sichuan art community. ”

Yuan Haizhong noted, "There is no special exhibition hall to display the works of artists such as Feng Jianwu and Cen Xuegong. In turn, Wu Yifeng, who went from Pinghu to Sichuan to create a life and stayed here for a lifetime, has Wu Yifeng Art Museum in his hometown. It seems that the artist's descendants, the artist's hometown, and the work of artistic inheritance still have a long way to go. Sichuan's artists are very outstanding in the country, but the folk forces and art institutions have not done enough to protect their cultural inheritance and art protection. Through the in-depth understanding of the art circle over the years, I feel that the treasure of Sichuan artists should be excavated and promoted more, and I thought of 'inheritance'. After a discussion with the Years Art Museum, we will do this exhibition together. The four teachers launched this time are the first, but not the last, through the inheritance of the context, the master leads the apprentice, passed down from generation to generation, forming a brand exhibition. Next, we will also do the "Dialogue between Heaven and Tianfu" series of exhibitions, that is, Hangzhou Dialogue Chengdu, artists from the two places interact together, create and discuss together. ”

As a collector with Jiangnan blood, Yuan Haizhong was very interested in works with prominent literary style. In his view, he was impressed by the literary popularity and arrogance in Feng Jianwu's works, and it can be seen from Cen Xuegong's works that the artist himself has fully integrated himself into the beautiful landscape. The works of Liu Pu and Ye Ruikun, the two artists, inherit the nutrition of their respective teachers, but also have their own styles and distinct personalities. From the perspective of ink painting, their works are indeed first-class and representative in the current Sichuan art circle. On a national scale, it is not the same, full of poetry. ”

Indeed, as Ye Ruikun did in poetry: searching for manuscripts into Shanxi Fudong, Guanyun listened to the spring and sought poverty. Pack up as much as you want and pay for a tube of paintbrushes. Interesting Chinese paintings have actually always been the interaction and emotional ups and downs of landscape experiments and ink experiments, and the sense of truth and reality is the key to whether the picture is moving and charming.
