Chapter 842: The Saint of Japanese Painting
It can be said that during the entire Muromachi shogunate period from 1338 to 1573, the snowboat-style Yamato paintings dominated the Japanese painting scene for more than 200 years.
The paintings that have been handed down throughout the Snow Boat style are unparalleled in the image of Japan, and it can even be said that the paintings of each generation of Snow Boat presiding officers will be treasured by the shoguns and the Imperial family at the time.
Later, it had a deep impact on the pattern of folk painting in Japan, and it can be said that almost all Japanese painters inherited the spirit of the snow boat style paintings, that is, relying on this spirit that was different from Chinese painting, they created the so-called Yamato-e school of Japanese later.
Among the paintings inherited by the snow boat, the most influential is undoubtedly their original ink-breaking landscape paintings.
This kind of ink-breaking landscape, which is different from the Chinese light-ink landscape to express the spirit of tranquility and far-reaching, is more of a manifestation of the spirit of depression and hope, which is the essence of painting art that has been sought after by Japanese painters of all ages.
Moreover, this kind of ink-breaking landscape painting is also very sought after in the world, especially Europeans like this kind of ink-breaking landscape painting very much.
The reason is also very simple, that is, compared with Chinese light ink landscape paintings, these broken ink landscape paintings have strong brushstrokes and can express the picture more realistically and clearly.
The Chinese light ink landscape painting pays attention to the artistic conception, so in terms of ink, it is indeed inferior to the broken ink landscape painting, and it is not easy to preserve, and it needs to be very carefully cared for.
If it is not properly preserved, then there is a risk of fading, so of course Europeans prefer this kind of heavy brush and heavy ink landscape painting, because such paintings are easier to preserve, even if they are old, they are not afraid.
I don't know what age I put this one away. I don't know exactly what it is the "Fog Boat Map" left by the abbot of the Snow Boat Temple in that area.
Jin Muchen continued to walk back, this is the exhibition area of Yamato-e, and the ink-breaking landscape paintings displayed are not only this one, there are many good things in it, waiting to be discovered by themselves.
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, he saw another top masterpiece of broken ink landscape painting, "Autumn and Winter Landscape Map". Winter Scene!
The picture of the painting. It seems that there are many more strokes than the Chinese splashed ink mountain paintings or light ink landscape paintings that Jin Muchen collected before.
At the foot of a distant mountain, the roof of a temple looms out, and then rows of steps extend down from that temple, and at the bottom of the picture, there happens to be an old man with a hat, who is walking up the steps.
Surrounded by steep peaks, those peaks have some withered branches.
Although there are a lot of strokes, they are very good at drawing the meaning of the bleak winter, but in this bleak winter. The old man who insisted on walking on the steep steps also reflected the painter's spirit in his chest that did not look like succumbing to the treacherous weather.
In short, the whole painting looks very good at reflecting the sense of gloom, but it is not particularly gray, and the old man who is on the plate can always make people feel the warmth in this bleak winter picture.
After taking a closer look at the brief introduction of this painting. Xue Zhou and other Yang works, just a few simple big characters. But it made Jin Muchen feel like he had been hit with a hammer on his temple.
It's really going to be developed now.,The last time I came to step on the point.,Because he couldn't enter this Horyuji Treasure Hall.,So he really didn't know.,There's still such a treasure hidden in this Horyuji Treasure Hall.。
It seems that this heavenly royal family is trying to win people's hearts. It's really bloody, and I'm even willing to take out such a treasure!
But when I think about it, I am relieved that the treasures in this Horyuji Treasure Museum belong to the Imperial Family, and in fact, even this Tokyo National Museum was originally located. They all belong to the Imperial Family.
It's just that after World War II, the country was forced to be democratized by the United States, and the emperor stepped down from the altar, and he could only be used as a spiritual totem for the Japanese, not as the real ruler of the country.
At the beginning of World War II, during that time, the Japanese were deeply reflected on World War II under the 'teaching' of the Americans.
Because the Americans were the emperors of Japan at that time, under the protection of the Americans, many civil liberal scholars and liberal reflectors were born in Japan.
These people deeply reflected on the madness of the Japanese during World War II and why the Japanese were so crazy, and finally came to a simple conclusion, that is, the Japanese imperial family is not human.
For the sake of his own family and the selfish interests of those nobles and gate valves, he brainwashed and educated so many Japanese people, and asked them to die for these gate valve nobles.
So many Japanese young people became the cannon fodder of these nobles and died on the battlefield of World War II, but after the war.
These so-called gate lords and nobles still occupy the upper class of Japanese society and still live a life of drunkenness, and those young people who died in World War II have long been forgotten, and some people can't even find their bones.
We, the ****, have paid so much, what did we get as a result?
Such ideas and doctrines, if they were taken out before World War II, would be absolutely contrary to the law.
Those who advocate such ideas do not even have to wait for the police or secret services to come to the door, I am afraid that they will be hacked to death on the streets by those young people who have been beaten with chicken blood, shouting that God will punish them.
However, after World War II, the situation was very different, on the one hand, there was the protection of the Americans, and on the other hand, it was also because the Japanese people did have some awakening.
In World War II, almost every family had relatives die on the battlefield, but what did they get in exchange?
I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly, and then I die, but what about those dignitaries and dignitaries, they eat one by one with fat brains, but they don't have any, which is too unfair.
Therefore, in the fifties and sixties of the last century, although Japan's economy had taken off, the thinking of ordinary people in Japan was also the time when the struggle was most intense.
At that time, there was even a group of people who established the Japanese Communist Party @ Industry @ Party, threatening to learn from the Celestial Empire and abolish the emperor.
Is this still like words? As a result, without waiting for the Japanese dignitaries to do it, in the end the Americans cleaned up those guys, you must know that the communist @ industry @ lord @ righteousness or something, the American father hates it the most.
And after those things, the Emperor family also knows that they can no longer pretend to be mysterious as usual, they must be close to the people, close to the people, and let those **** mud legs know that in fact, their emperor father still loves them.
So I let go and let the Tokyo National Museum belong to the Ministry of Education, but in fact, the final attributes have not changed much, and the other gate lords, seeing that the emperor has expressed their position, also began to donate treasures to this museum, or their own treasures from the original broom, stored in the museum for display.
In this way, he shows his determination to have fun with the people.
In order to expand their influence among the people, the Imperial Family simply built a treasure hall of Horyuji Temple, and took out some of the treasures that were not passed down from their own family to the common people.
In fact, these things are not all displayed for the common people, you must know that the emperor is not stupid, they know that those ordinary **** mud legs have nothing to please, even if they are dissatisfied with the emperor, what kind of waves can they make?
The most important thing is to curry favor with the middle class of literati, most of whom are artists, professors, doctors, or lawyers, and they have considerable influence in society.
It would be best if they could get their hearts to the Heavenly Imperial Family.
But these guys are different from those mud legs, if you take some ordinary things out, you can't fool them, but they will think that they are not sincere enough, and when the time comes, they will say a few bad things about you in the newspaper, and the impact will be terrible.
So they simply gritted their teeth and took out a lot of treasures that they were reluctant to see the light of day.
For example, this Xue Zhou and other Yang's "Autumn and Winter Landscape Maps". Winter Scene" painting, which is the whole of Japan only heard of its name, not its real body of the masterpiece, in the history of Japanese painting, has an incomparable influence, has always been the treasure of the emperor's broom, even if the best friend comes, are reluctant to take out and enjoy with everyone.
But this time, in order to please those literati, the emperor also made a bloody investment, and took this important treasure of Japan to the Horyuji Temple Treasure Museum to display, of course, the display time is also intermittent, but this is enough for many people.
Because the influence of this painting is so great, being able to see the real face is a very important thing for many people.
In fact, the reason why this painting is so important in the hearts of many Japanese artists is mainly because the author of this painting, Xue Zhou and Yang!
You must know that this snow boat host can definitely be said to be the most famous one of all the snow boat styles!
He is the most representative figure in the Japanese Tang style and Yamato paintings, and he is known as the Japanese 'painting saint' in the Japanese painting world!
Just by the title of 'Painting Saint', you can already appreciate the status of this monk in the Japanese painting world.
This status is exactly the same as Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty of China, you must know that Wu Daozi, in the Chinese art world, also has the reputation of painting saint!
Wu Daozi's paintings, even if Jin Muchen visited the British Museum, he couldn't find Wu Daozi's paintings to collect, but the works of the Chinese painting saint, Jin Muchen was not able to collect them, and it was not bad to get a Japanese painting saint's work here. (To be continued.) )
