Chapter 894: Calligrapher and Painter Guo Dalu
The competition in the calligraphy and painting industry is also very cruel, which is divided into many sect categories, and there are many things that are not pleasing to each other, especially the current calligraphy and painting association, the water in it is deeper, and several people who are called "masters" today are inevitably scolded by their peers on the Internet every day.
Calligraphy and painting are not like martial arts competitions, martial arts competitions, it is a real competition, and it is clear who wins and who loses.
But once art is involved, this is a bit less praised, especially the art of calligraphy and painting, for laymen, it is even more difficult to distinguish between good and bad.
If it is in ancient times, because everyone uses brush words in daily life, so there is some ability to distinguish calligraphy, who writes well, writes badly, can say one, two, three, four, five, calligraphy and painting are not separated, and the average reader can also have a little ability to distinguish paintings, so in ancient times, the evaluation of a person's calligraphy and painting is not very controversial.
Everyone is doing this, a person can be recognized by his peers, then he must be a person who really has the ability, although there are occasional controversies, but it is only limited to the interpretation of some people's character, and few people question the works of famous artists.
However, in modern times, with the change of writing instruments and the adjustment of social forms, calligraphy and painting have been far away from the life of ordinary intellectuals, many people have no experience in writing brush characters, and naturally have no ability to appreciate calligraphy.
This has given a lot of unscrupulous calligraphers and painters an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to publicize and build momentum for a while, and there are countless things that are mixed up, and individuals can be called masters, resulting in the emergence of Chinese painting masters in recent years, and calligraphy masters have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Because of the huge financial interests involved in this industry, the chaos has been plentiful, and the voices of mutual attack and accusation have not been stopped, and today's Chinese art world has been divided into several interest groups, holding each other together for warmth, and also accusing each other of insulting each other, which is smoky and filthy.
In today's China, calligraphers and painters are no longer "you write well, paint well, and have the strength to be a master", but "we say you are a master, you are a master", Guo Dalu, as an "amateur calligraphy and painting enthusiast" in the non-system, has no intersection with the Art Association, and his calligraphy and painting works can become a national gift, which makes people in the Chinese calligraphy and painting circles how can they be convinced?
In the current calligraphy and painting world, there are many people who are extremely arrogant and inflated, and there are also fanatics who scold their ancestors and belittle their predecessors, and there are also many people who take ignorance as their personality.
Therefore, when it was learned that the creator of Guo Kaiming's Chinese landscape painting "The Scenery is Good Here" given to the President of the United States was Guo Dalu, it immediately set off an uproar in the entire Chinese Artists Association.
"Guo Dalu doesn't even have a special teacher, how did he become a calligrapher and painter?"
"Since ancient times, which master of calligraphy and painting has not become a famous artist after the guidance of a famous teacher and the exchange of peers? Guo Dalu does make a good movie, but his graffiti work is still given away as a national gift, which is a bit funny!"
"I don't doubt Comrade Guo Kaiming's vision, I suspect that his staff are too irresponsible, even Comrade Guo Kaiming dares to deceive, it is estimated that Guo Kaiming did not look at this painting carefully before giving the gift, otherwise, he would definitely not give it as a national gift!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you taking it for granted? Who dares to joke about the gift of a country? If Guo Dalu's works have no merit, who has the courage to designate his works as a national gift? You know, this represents the face of the country!"
Most of the people in the entire calligraphy and painting world are full of disdain for Guo Dalu, but there are also some people who dare not make up their minds.
"Calligraphy and painting are completely personal matters, how do you know that Guo Dalu's calligraphy and painting level is not good? Who of you has seen Guo Dalu's calligraphy and painting works with your own eyes? If you haven't seen it, don't jump to conclusions!"
Just when these people from the American Association were holding continuous meetings for the cross-border Guo Dalu, Guo Kaiming, who had ended his visit to the United States, had already come to the United Kingdom, and when he met with the British Prime Minister, he sent porcelain and silk and other things, and when he met with the Queen of England, he gave Guo Dalu a set of paintings, which was the "Four Gentlemen" painted by Guo Dalu before.
This "Four Gentlemen" is full of personality, it is Guo Dalu's masterpiece, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum has its own characteristics, full of artistic conception, and the pen and ink are hearty. The visual impact on people is far beyond the comparison of ordinary calligraphy and painting works.
Although the culture of China and Britain is different, but art is figured out, seeing the four paintings sent by Guo Kaiming, Queen Elizabeth of England was very frustrated and stood for a few seconds, before she came back to her senses, and was greatly admired, and asked Guo Kaiming in front of many reporters: "Who created this painting?"
She smiled at Guo Kaiming and said: "I have never been so moved and fascinated by a painting, I think it is necessary for us to deepen the artistic and cultural exchanges between the two countries, well, especially the author of these four paintings, he should be the best master of calligraphy and painting in your China, right?"
Guo Kaiming said with a smile: "He is the best filmmaker in our Chinese country, and he is also a very good writer, but he paints very little, his name Queen should have heard of it, he is called Guo Dalu!"
Elizabeth was surprised and delighted: "Guo Dalu? is that Mr. Guo Dalu who made movies? Oh my God, his paintings are so good!"
Then she said again: "It's much better than the previous Chinese paintings!"
This conversation was not broadcast on the Huaxia News Network, but the news of overseas countries did not have this concern, but used it as a selling point and vigorously hyped it up.
"Director Guo Dalu from China gave us another surprise, among his many identity titles, he even has the identity of a painter, and his calligraphy and painting works have even been given as a national gift by Chinese leaders, and even the Queen of England is extremely fascinated by his paintings! Oh my God, I can see clearly, Her Majesty the Queen stood for a full five seconds when she looked at Guo Dalu's paintings! When she saw Guo Dalu's works, she even forgot that she was still in public! She even admired as if no one was admiring them! Luckily, at the last minute, she came to her senses, otherwise she would have made a little bit of a gentle joke!"
"It's unbelievable that the director of Huaxia Guo Dalu is still a master of calligraphy and painting, and the calligraphy and painting works that the Chinese leaders have given to the heads of state of the United States and Britain in the past few days are all created by Guo Dalu himself!"
"Let's take a look at his works, well, this is our special request for the relevant leaders to show Guo Dalu's works to everyone, and the royal collectors are also happy to let you know about the gifts sent by the leaders of various countries! Oh my God, look at this painting, a strange twisted old tree, there are a few small birds on the old tree, there is a unique arch bridge in Chinese culture next to it, and the sun is about to set the horizon...... Oh, God, this painting has a strange magic, and looking at it is like looking at a flowing picture! This is the most basic and typical Chinese ink painting, only black and white, just like the panda in China!"
"But why do I feel that these pictures have colors in my mind? Is this the charm of oriental ink painting?"
