readx;
Artistic creations with utilitarian or political surnames can become popular through the support of the news media, critics, and supporters, but they can never be passed on, such as those of some 'sky-high' works in contemporary China. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is often a work of art created freely, or even the works of artists who have been suppressed by the authorities, but can truly reflect the value of art, not to mention foreign examples, such as the well-known "Golden Vase Plum", which is still suppressed today, but this work is a monument in the history of Chinese literature.
The revolutionary model drama that was a smash hit in the fifties and sixties has long been reduced to garbage, and this is the art dominated by those in power, but it has to be said that these works have indeed given full play to their light and heat, whitewashed the glorious image of a generation of 'great men', and consolidated the regime, but this is at the cost of eliminating the cultural bloodline of this nation, so that today people have lost even the most basic bottom line of being a man in their hearts, so that there is the rampant gutter oil, da Vinci, and Guo Meimei.
Li Mobai's birth broke the impetuosity of contemporary literati and artists, and naturally attracted everyone's attention and was respected, because Li Mobai's works never served the party and government, never sang the praises of those in power, and were completely personal expressions of thought, so it was normal for everyone to look forward to them.
Li Mobai's calligraphy and painting works have not been sold so far, but there are a lot of gifts, some are given to friends, some are given to museums, and "Scratch", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "Heaven", "Hundred Sons" and other works have not been sold, but most of these works are exhibited around the world, Shang Shan is now a very famous curator, no matter where he goes, he is very popular, because only the exhibitions he curates can have Li Mobai's works.
The large-scale landscape paintings that Li Mobai plans to create this time are purely artistic creations, and there is neither the satirical theme that he is best at, nor the utilitarian heart, and now Li Mobai no longer needs a work to improve his reputation, but this time he creates with a hot heart.
Mr. Daqian created "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" because of his nostalgia for the mainland, while Li Mobai created "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" because of his deep love for this land.
Li Mobai from literature, painting to corporate brand, all are the world's pinnacle, Nobel Prize, Golden Lion, the world's top 500 are all pain in the hearts of the Chinese people, and Li Mobai did it quietly, who is not proud of it, although he has studied abroad, but both literature and painting are the original Chinese culture, this is a real native Chinese, not even foreign Chinese who can't speak or write Chinese.
Li Mobai just wants to use the brush in his hand to concretize China's mountains and rivers into a painting, so that all Chinese are proud of it, whether it is literature or art, they need to have a sense of responsibility, if they lose their sense of responsibility and national surname, they will never be able to stand on the top of the world, but Chinese literati and artists have long forgotten.
Since he was a child, when he traveled with the old man, Li Mobai was determined to show the most beautiful mountains and rivers in the pen one day in the future, and now Li Mobai finally began to complete one of his childhood dreams.
This painting does not have much personal expression, so Li Mobai paints it with ease, not full of anger like the painting "Leaving the Scratch", nor walking on thin ice like painting "The Road to Heaven", but full of joy, and his heart is filled with a sense of pride.
The method of Chinese painting is still the main means of expression of this painting, but as Li Mobai has seen more and more ancient Indian, ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek and modern Western oil paintings, Li Mobai's brushwork is now more mellow and mature, and he is at his peak.
The most beautiful landscapes in China are presented on rice paper through a brush, and countless famous artists have tried since ancient times, and have achieved fruitful results, such as "Fuchun Mountain Residence", "Yangtze River Ten Thousand Miles" and other amazing masterpieces. However, due to the restrictions of the times, no one has ever been able to truly show all the mountains and rivers of the motherland on rice paper, and Li Mobai does not want to regret it anymore.
It took 3 months for Li Mobai to complete this work in one go, the old man was also watching from the side every day, Jiang Suhan was a little scholar, and the three little guys were also 'observing' on the side, fortunately, the three little guys now know the importance and did not use their feet to help Li Mobai.
"You kid, it's amazing, a few years ago I thought that your kid must have achieved nothing in painting, but I didn't expect that a few years later, you are making progress every day, and this painting can already start a sect." After seeing Li Mobai finish drawing the last stroke and make the seal, the old man stroked his beard and said.
In fact, Li Mobai has already created a genre, and many painters at home and abroad are learning Li Mobai's painting techniques, and in terms of theory, Li Mobai has also written several related painting theories, which have caused a sensation in the international art circle.
"Old man, isn't this your old man's good teaching and laying a solid foundation for me!" Li Mobai finished painting, his mood was even happier, and when he heard the old man's words, he slapped him with a sycophant.
"Boy, you can talk, my old man didn't teach you so much." Although the old man said this, he was very proud in his heart, "To be honest, my old man didn't expect that your kid would have the achievements he has today. ”
"Old man, please ask your old man to inscribe." Li Mobai was quite satisfied with this painting, and took advantage of the situation to propose to let the old man inscribe the inscription, so that the old man was happy.
"Hey, even if you kid has a vision, my old man can't do anything else, but calligraphy is no worse than yours." The old man said with a smile when he heard this, he was very useful for Li Mobai's patting, and at the same time he was very proud of his calligraphy.
Li Mobai likes long scrolls, and this painting is also a long masterpiece, 96 meters long and 2.88 meters wide, which is definitely a shocking long scroll. It's not that the larger the size of the painting, the more artistic value it has, but Li Mobai's painting is the most perfect display of China's landscapes, even if you only look at a part of it, it can be fascinating, and you can't help but feel like you're in a fairyland.
The old man watched quietly from the side since Li Mobai began painting, witnessing Li Mobai's completion of this masterpiece from beginning to end, his eyes showed a blur from time to time, and after agreeing to the title of this painting, the old man did not rush to do it, but returned to his study to prepare seriously.
"Dad, I'm going to paint too, the places you took us to weren't so pretty." "Dad, can you draw Cai Wei on it, isn't Cai Wei beautiful?" The old man left, and the three little ones began to give their 'opinions' in a milky voice.
This painting itself is very joyful, Li Mobai has no pressure, at this time I saw the three little guys start to offer treasures, so I played a game of cat and mouse with the three little guys, and for a while the yard was full of laughter, looking at Li Mobai is completely a naughty child king, Jiang Suhan is also smiling, and the heart says that this bad guy is really cute.
Shang Shan and others were naturally the first batch of visitors, and they naturally couldn't wait to rush over after receiving Li Mobai's call. Li Mobai's fans learned that Li Mobai had completed his creation, and immediately became excited, and friends who were familiar with Li Mobai called one after another to congratulate him, and reporters at home and abroad also inquired about Li Mobai's new works, and art museums at home and abroad also sent letters to Shang Shan, hoping to exhibit Li Mobai's new works.
Shi Qingshan of Zhenbaoxuan is also a fan of Li Mobai, and when he learned that Li Mobai had completed his painting on Li Mobai's scarf, he also rushed to the capital as soon as possible, hoping to see Li Mobai's new works for the first time.
Art professors, associate professors and lecturers at Xuanyuan University also can't wait to organize a group to go to Beijing, hoping to enjoy Li Mobai's new works for the first time.
For a while, Li Mobai was even hotter than a star, and everyone was full of expectations. And Li Mobai's mansion is also very lively, and there is an endless stream of people who come to enjoy the paintings, but they are all friends or peers who have a close personal relationship with Li Mobai, and ordinary people will not come to the door at will.
After seeing Li Mobai's work, Shang Shan said incredulously, "This is not a human handwriting, but a miracle." ”
After Shi Qingshan came and fought with the old man for a few words, he impatiently went to Li Mobai's study, and after seeing Li Mobai's new work, he suddenly looked at it as if he had found it, and let the old man speak sarcastically, forgetting to fight back, and only after a long time did he say, "Old man Li, you have a good grandson, even the most famous landscape painter in history, you can only sigh to yourself." After speaking, he looked at it intently.
Almost all the people who came to see the painting for the first time were of this virtue, and the comments they made were not professional at all, and they looked like laymen.
After He Zhiqiu, Wang Ruchang and other old guys arrived, they also had this virtue, "Mo Bai, it's a pity that my old man is too old, otherwise I would definitely take your painting as a masterpiece." ”
The framing of Chinese calligraphy and painting is indeed very heavy, especially the framing of long scrolls, which is definitely the top installation art, and ordinary people are simply unable to do it, Wang Ruchang is the master in this regard, but since Li Mobai dares to shoot such a long scroll, he naturally has the ability to mount, but there is no need to worry that no one can mount it, but in fact, Wang Ruchang is also modest, and he naturally has the ability to mount.
"Old man Li, you are really blessed, how can you have such a genius grandson, why don't we have it, God is really unfair!" Zhao Defang also said angrily on the side.
"Be jealous, be jealous of you!" The old man was flushed with red light at this moment, and his face was proud, and he said without modesty.
"Lao He, your granddaughter hasn't married yet, I think it's better to marry Mo Bai and do a little thing!" Zhao Defang joked disrespectfully for the old man again.
Several old men were talking nonsense together, the angry He Zhiqiu blew his beard and stared, Li Mobai heard the words of these old guys, and he also smiled bitterly, people are children when they are old, and they are completely childlike words, and there is nothing they dare not say.
After Li Mobai rested for a few days, he began to frame this painting, the framing of this painting is very good for school mounting, but for Li Mobai, who has obtained the true biography of Wang Ruchang, it is not too difficult, and there are a group of old guys assisting.
At the same time that Li Mobai framed this painting, Shang Shan was also preparing for Li Mobai's solo exhibition, Li Mobai has almost never been publicly exhibited in recent years, except for a few works sent to Venice every year and occasionally given to friends, Shang Shan naturally intends to exhibit all Li Mobai's works in recent years.
The National Art Museum of China does not hesitate to provide the exhibition hall free of charge, and it is definitely an honor for the museum to exhibit Li Mobai's works, and it is the first exhibition in the world.
Li Mobai's new work has been unveiled on the Internet, and fans are quite proud and excited to learn that Li Mobai painted a 96-meter-long scroll "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and they are looking forward to the early exhibition.
The exhibition coincided with the New Year, but it did not affect people's enthusiasm at all, and even many people made a special trip to the capital to see the painting for the New Year, and the tickets for two months were booked out in three days.
The first day of the exhibition was almost full of celebrities and journalists in the art circle, and the entire Chinese art scene was almost overwhelmed, including well-known artists from all over the world.
The reporters are also very excited, this is definitely a rare good opportunity, many famous people gathered together, almost everywhere is the news starting point.
Li Mobai's own solo exhibition, but Li Mobai did not appear, which disappointed the reporters, but there was no way, they were used to Li Mobai's low-key.
And when many famous artists saw Li Mobai's brilliant masterpiece, everyone was surprised and speechless, not that they couldn't speak, but they were not qualified to evaluate, the pen power of this work has improved compared to before, and absorbed more painting skills, in front of the great works only learning, can only evaluate the "great".
Everyone was silent, just watching quietly, deducing Li Mobai's painting techniques in their hearts, and seriously copying the artistic conception in the painting, the reporters were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and what they saw in front of them was not to observe the art exhibition, but to look like a pious student paying tribute to the master.
"Bai Shao's works, I don't dare to comment on them, if I have to comment, I only have one sentence, that is, 'great work!' A well-known critic said in response to a reporter's question.
"Bai Shao's painting can be said to be unprecedented, as for whether there is anyone who comes, I don't know, I can't find a person in the world who can drink Bai Shao." A painter said under the reporter's questioning.
"Miraculous Lee has once again created a miracle in the history of painting, he has reached the summit of Mount Everest in the art world." A well-known foreign painter said, "Wonder Lee has made us redefine painting, this is the beginning of the Renaissance in the 21st century, and Wonder Lee is the founder." ”
"This is the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that really belong to the people, and it is also the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of Bai Shao." A time critic said the same thing after seeing this painting, and this sentence was surprisingly unanimously recognized by Li Mobai's fans.
