Han Meilin "paints the human body", that is, does not paint the face, why is it still wonderful? Expert: Look at the back!
The future is difficult to foresee, so positive and optimistic people have new dreams every day, as Ma Yun said, what if they are realized? But people on the contrary will not have much hope, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The reality, though, is either panicked or overwhelmed, but there's no shortage of surprises for you, and although it has nothing to do with money, no one is immune to it. The happiness in this is even indescribable.
The happiest artist is him
For example, the 82-year-old artist Han Meilin is pleased with Takako. Especially now holding a 2-year-old son to write calligraphy, (see the picture below), it is really "people see people love, flowers see flowers blossom", envy a large piece of death.
Some people say that the happiest person of all the artists in the world is him.
In fact, it is more accurate to say that it is bittersweet. From losing his father at the age of two, to the road to art, to one failed marriage after another, what left him was either the pain of a special era, or the breakup of choosing to stay in China, and a brief union and separation. These three failed marriages, fortunately, left him with a daughter.
It was not until the age of 65 that he met like-minded Zhou Jianping and became the fourth wife 28 years younger than him, that he really had a warm family life, and gave birth to this son seventeen years later, adding the most wonderful stroke to his life.
Perhaps, this is Han Meilin's life.
In his own words: "I have been suffering all my life, being deceived into a common thing; making a piece of cake and wearing small shoes." But my friends say that I am like a happy big fly, happy at any time, and those shadows have long been thrown behind. In fact, it is very simple, no heart and no lungs can live for a hundred years, this is called a change of life. ”
He knows very well that first of all, the mentality of not getting old can never be old. Secondly, only by being ashamed can we live without being tired, only then will we not have overnight sorrow and overnight gas, and we will not have overnight illness, so that we can live a long life without being tired.
Artistic wizards
Han Meilin, who sees through life, is not only a wizard in artistic creation, but also "unscrupulous".
Don't look at his high achievements in painting, calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics, design and many other fields, and has achieved achievements that have attracted the attention of the world. He believes that there is a commonality between playing art and living life, that is, there is no poetry and no painting in life, which is only the product of the passion of poets and painters.
So where does this passion of poets and painters come from? The question marks that come from their heads are like scientists who always give themselves problems, tasteful and never satisfied. The endless question mark is the passion that makes you gallop in the world of art, and it is strange that you are not a fairy!
As for the attitude towards artistic creation, Han Meilin said more directly: "I am not angry when I say that I am not painting Chinese paintings; I am not angry when I say that I am a miscellaneous brand army doing sculpture." There are not many people who do a profession in life, so why do you have to enter a gang, what kind of industry, what method to use, and what style to pinch? There is no God in the world, and no one has to listen to anyone, especially art. ”
Therefore, no matter the calligraphy he writes, the design he engages in, and the paintings he paints, they are all different and have their own distinctive characteristics.
To paint the human body is not to draw a face, but it is wonderful
Han Meilin, who is honored in the world art world, what are his distinctive characteristics? Let's take the female figure he painted.
As a kind of art of supreme beauty, the feminine body is a comprehensive embodiment of the artist's capture of beauty, discovery of beauty and expression of beauty. The average painter depicts the beauty of the human body in whole or in parts of the front of the human body (see Figures 1 to 3).
Han Meilin did the opposite. The female body he writes not only has no face, no facial features, not even the head shape, some are two piles of ink, and some only brush a few strokes, even if it is a woman's hair. And the color and line of the back, it is even more impossible to identify the back of a human body, which is far from the woman's smooth jade skin, and has nothing to do with the beautiful lines, if you do not look at the name of the painting, you will not feel that this painting is a human body.
Painting women's bodies and loving to paint backs, this is one of his characteristics.
Expert: Look at the lines and shape of the back
This kind of back painting method, many people find it difficult to understand, do not know where the beauty is?
Many netizens are very surprised, this will be from the famous international artist Han Meilin?
In this regard, some experts said that Han Meilin's body painting is wonderful and artistic, and he has painted the beauty and image of women in his own way.
First of all, it is different from the realistic painting school based on realism and delicacy, and pursues an abstract aesthetic.
Secondly, Han Meilin, a woman who only paints the back, has a decorative style of form and line, which he extracts from real life, and carries the essence and commonality of female beauty.
Moreover, always inadvertently, let the human body jump on the paper, not only is it graceful and graceful, but it is impossible to find the exact same one. This is a side that other artists have a hard time doing.
It is precisely because it is a different way and is not accepted.
