Hua Tian Snow: Master of the “change” pros and cons of each are
China Art Academy of Fine Arts Research Office Institute of Chinese modern and contemporary art snow days, is modern Chinese art history doctorates. She acknowledged that the 20th century, “returnees” master of Chinese ink painting ink writing to the altar brought changes, but their creative accomplishments have their own different view.
The purpose of holding scientific salvation
She first noted that the development of modern Chinese ink painting has a background that China wants to national self-help, to compete with the West, to self-improvement, such as Kang and others believe that the West because of their strong science and developed, so learning from the West science, as reflected in the art world as a realist, to transform the Chinese painting.
She said that these artists to study abroad, and some out of pre-painted ink, and some began to draw out before, such as Lin Fengmian. They had a common purpose: improving the Chinese painting. If Gao Jianfu to Japan before I first went to Macau to see a very realistic oil painting, Chinese painting have a idea of this transformation. They are looking for something you can borrow, to learn a Western approach aimed at transforming Chinese painting.
After returning to bring about changes
She is not is that they offer new art education after returning home, has brought back the new educational system has changed the traditional Chinese painting master and apprentice giving or receiving of the way, but also the traditional technique, painting grounds are being subjected to shocks. In their new school, students learn focus lens, learning human anatomy, to sketch training, the Chinese painter’s knowledge structure changes, its impact is fundamental, and for Chinese painting was a big impact.
The results are pros and cons of each change
She said that at the time of Chinese painting can be divided into two categories: traditional and Western-type fusion. Those returnees belong to the artist’s ink paintings created in the latter, is the variation of the classical Chinese style, showing the face of the most abundant and diverse orientation, so far still mainstream. The changes they bring the advantage of freedom of creative artists raised, bringing the theme, theme, materials, techniques and other aspects of innovation; shortcoming is that the borders have become blurred in Chinese painting, Chinese painting of the characteristics of digestion of specific relaxation techniques, such as the emergence of do not pay attention to ink, Wu Guanzhong, Cai Xiaosong, etc..
She stressed that the absence of two in-depth Western accomplishments, those who advocated change master returnees will not be successful. She believes that only such a case the success of Lin Feng-mian and Xu Beihong, the former West body using, which is the body of the West use, but can be up to the spirit, aesthetic dimension. The artistic achievements of other artists have to be discussed.
