Chapter 901: Communication
"Oh oh oh!"
In Guo Dalu's studio, no matter what Guo Dalu said, Li Songtao couldn't help nodding his head in agreement, and he couldn't even say a word of objection.
He is now immersed in Guo Dalu's painting skills, for what Guo Dalu said, I can't hear it for a long time, this old man only has some insect works painted by Guo Dalu on the spot in his eyes at this time, these paintings are all fine, all of them are good, although they are dead things painted, but they give people a great sense of dynamics, as if they can jump out of the flower roll at any time.
"Painting like" is not the main point in Chinese painting, "conveying the spirit" is the real pursuit of a painter, and these paintings of Guo Dalu have reached the point of "conveying the spirit".
"This ...... This is a god!"
Li Songtao looked at the painting in front of him, his eyes straightened, and he muttered to himself: "This is no longer a divine product, it is simply a masterpiece!"
In the Chinese painting and calligraphy circles, traditional Chinese painting works are divided into four grades, namely: energy, wonder, god, and art.
Among these four grades, the first grade alone, the level of Nengpin, has blocked many people, because the first requirement of Nengpin is "vivid image", and throughout the history of China, there are not many people who can meet the standards of these four words by traditional calligraphers and painters.
And the "wonderful product" after the product is more difficult to achieve, it must be "exquisite pen and ink, skillful technique", with the pen from the heart, when painting things, it is easy to draw, in the pen has reached an extremely advanced point, painting things are basically handy.
There must be a lot of people in each dynasty who can reach this level of calligraphy and painting skills, and they are generally famous painters in the era.
After the wonderful product, it is the divine product.
There are very few calligraphers and painters in the world who can reach the realm of gods, a painter may have a lot of wonderful works in his life, but there will not be many works at the level of gods, only a few wonderful paintings in the works will be called gods.
Divine paintings are rare, but if they are placed in the long river of history, there are many paintings of famous artists in the past dynasties.
When it comes to the highest level of Yipin's calligraphy and painting works, it is a bit difficult to judge, and there are still many controversies.
This thing is like a few masterpieces of calligraphy handed down from generation to generation, inadvertently demanding, will occasionally appear one, if you do it deliberately, but it is a trace, falling on the lower layer.
From ancient times to the present, there are not many paintings and calligraphy works that are called masterpieces, and a master of calligraphy and painting can have more than a dozen masterpieces in his life, which is a very remarkable achievement.
Li Songtao was shocked and praised Guo Dalu's works as divine and mastery, which may be a bit exaggerated, but the words blurted out under the shock were from the bottom of his heart.
It can also be seen how shocked he is when facing Guo Dalu's paintings now.
"The current painting and calligraphy skills are actually improving on the whole, but the most obvious progress is the Western oil paintings, the works of the famous Chinese oil painters in the past, if they are brought to the present, not to say that they are worthless, but at least they are not high-quality. ”
After Guo Dalu painted a few insects, flowers and birds, he washed the brush, put it on the pen stand, and said to Li Songtao: "You are an insider, so you naturally know the level of these people in the Artists Association. ”
When he said this, he paused, and a very strange look appeared on his face: "As for the calligraphy works...... It's a mess!"
Li Songtao had come back to his senses at this time, his face was a little red with excitement, and he said to Guo Dalu: "Mr. Guo, it's the first time I've seen such amazing calligraphy and painting skills as you!"
He did not object to Guo Dalu's previous boast that he was "the last master of calligraphy and painting in China", but felt that Guo Dalu was indeed well deserved.
The old man held a picture of an autumn cicada that Guo Dalu had just drawn, and his eyelids jumped with excitement: "If you don't hold an exhibition of your paintings, it would be a pity for everyone to take a look!"
He said to Guo Dalu: "Beijing has recently held a national painting and calligraphy exhibition, divided into two halls, one hall is the Western oil painting and watercolor type, the other hall is the Chinese traditional painting and calligraphy works, well, we have a few judges, specifically to evaluate the quality of the works, the top ten people will give some rewards." Mr. Guo, why don't we set up a special exhibition hall for you?"
When Li Songtao said this, he was afraid that Guo Dalu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, your works are just a simple exhibition and do not participate in the selection activities." However, you can be on the jury and be a judge of our art association. With your attainments in calligraphy and painting, you are definitely qualified to be a judge of this calligraphy and painting exhibition. ”
Guo Dalu raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, I don't dare to participate in your exhibition, I can't afford to lose that person!"
He smiled and said: "But you reminded me that my calligraphy and paintings generally don't sell for money, but I can let my favorite peers learn and learn, hehe, you can have fun with a calligraphy and painting exhibition!"
Li Songtao was stunned: "Do you want to hold your own calligraphy and painting exhibition?"
Guo Dalu said: "Can't you?"
Li Songtao: "...... You don't want to fight us, do you?"
Guo Dalu said: "It must be to fight in the ring, otherwise what is the point of me holding this calligraphy and painting exhibition?"
Li Songtao: "...... You're not doing that, are you?"
"What's not so good? Let's learn from each other and communicate with each other!"
Li Songtao's face was a little ugly, and he said in his heart: "Aren't I full of food? Why did I tell him about the art exhibition? This guy was originally a-stirring stick, and now if he holds a calligraphy and painting exhibition at the same time, then what else will happen to us?"
However, thinking of the general aesthetic quality of the people today, Li Songtao put down his heart again: "Actually, there is no need to worry, now everyone's cultural level has been collectively improved, but the aesthetic level is not very good! They may not be able to see how different Guo Dalu's works are from the participating painters!"
In modern society, there are countless things that regard ugliness as beauty, otherwise there would be no variety of masters, and these masters have been praised by a large number of people, and there is no lack of soil for survival.
In Li Songtao's view, each of Guo Dalu's works is the pinnacle of traditional painting, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they may not be able to appreciate the beauty and rhythm in it.
He was originally worried that Guo Dalu was going to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition, for fear that Guo Dalu would beat the country's calligraphy and painting exhibition, but when he thought of the aesthetic status quo of today's society, he suddenly stopped worrying, but felt pity for Guo Dalu:
"In this era, the boundary between beauty and ugliness has been blurred, and Mr. Guo's works may not be able to do the works of ordinary calligraphers and painters......"
