: Li Keran: "Immerse oneself with the greatest effort, and break through with the greatest courage."

2025-02-25

"Transmission and Imitation: Exhibition of Chinese Painting Copying Teaching Works at the Central Academy of Fine Arts" is currently on display at the CAFA Art Museum. This exhibition presents more than 300 pieces of works, including copied Chinese paintings, teaching drafts for students, and creations transformed from copying in the Chinese painting copying teaching of the Central Academy of Fine Arts over the past century. In the copying courses of figure painting, landscape painting, and flower-and-bird painting majors at the Chinese Painting Academy of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which ancient masterpieces are respectively taken as models? And which experiences of modern renowned artists have become the inspiration for connecting traditional and modern aesthetic concepts? Let's unveil the answers one by one through these artworks.●○Li Keran, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was an important landscape painter and art educator in China in the 20th century. He was born in 1907 and began to study traditional Chinese painting at the age of 13. In 1929, he entered the postgraduate class of the National Art Academy in Hangzhou (now China Academy of Art) to study Western painting, laying the artistic foundation for the integration of Chinese and Western art. He was deeply influenced by Qi Baishi and Huang Binhong, and put forward the proposition of "the transformation and revival of Chinese painting", advocating exploring the modernization path of Chinese painting through "intensively studying nature and tradition". Li Keran's teaching and creation had a significant impact on the development direction of landscape painting in the 20th century.In his artistic creation and education, Li Keran particularly emphasized the combination of copying and innovation. He advocated entering the spiritual core of traditional painting by "copying the classics" and integrating modern creative concepts on this basis. This teaching method has had a profound impact on the teaching of copying and creating based on copying in the Chinese Painting Academy of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Through systematic copying training, students can not only have an in-depth understanding of the style of traditional brush and ink language, but also respect the ancients and innovate in their creation based on copying. Just as Li Keran mentioned many times: "Immerse oneself with the greatest effort, and break through with the greatest courage." "Immersing oneself" means inheritance, and "breaking through" means innovation. With his rigorous teaching philosophy and exemplary role, Li Keran has laid a solid foundation for the teaching system of Chinese painting.Li Keran, Imitating the Painting Style of Bada ShanrenInk on paper, 76 cm × 42 cm, 1943Collected by the Li Keran Art FoundationLi Keran's artistic style emphasizes "reading two books: nature and tradition." With the core of intensively studying nature and conducting in-depth sketching, he combines traditional brush and ink techniques with a modern sense of form. His landscape paintings are vivid in spirit and rich in layers, and the paintings often present a profound and solemn visual effect. He is adept at interpreting traditional landscapes from the perspective of modern people, not only retaining the essence of traditional brush and ink but also endowing the paintings with new connotations of the era. By pursuing the dual paths of "transformation" and "revival" simultaneously, Li Keran has pushed Chinese landscape painting to a new height and formed the landmark "Li Family Landscape" style.Partial View of Imitating the Painting Style of Bada ShanrenThe Imitating the Painting Style of Bada Shanren presented in the "Transmission and Imitation: Exhibition of Chinese Painting Copying Teaching Works at the Central Academy of Fine Arts" is one of Li Keran's works that pays tribute to traditional masters. This painting draws on the unique style of Bada Shanren, reflecting a simple composition, a secluded artistic conception, and concise brushwork and ink. The rocks, trees, and the distant scenery in the work are all presented with simple lines and light ink colors. It not only has the aloof and austere temperament of Bada Shanren but also incorporates Li Keran's personal characteristics of solidity and tranquility. The painting reflects Li Keran's profound understanding of traditional art and his innovative expression. This painting is not only an inheritance of the spirit of Bada Shanren and traditional art but also a model work of Li Keran's reconstruction of classical art in a modern context.Transmission and Imitation Exhibition of Chinese Painting Copying Teaching Works at the Central Academy of Fine ArtsSponsor: Central Academy of Fine ArtsOrganizers: Chinese Painting Academy of Central Academy of Fine Arts, Art Museum of Central Academy of Fine ArtsExhibition Time: January 21, 2025 - March 16, 2025Exhibition Venue: Exhibition Hall on the Third Floor of the CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He YishaEditor / Du Yinzhu

: Good News at the Start of the Year | "There Is Always Poetry in Customs" Has Been Awarded as an Excellent Project Of The 2024 Exhibition Season

2025-02-24

Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the "List of Excellent Projects of the 2024 National Exhibition Season of Exquisite Collections in Art Museums". The exhibition "There Is Always Poetry in Customs", hosted by our museum, has been evaluated as an excellent project after summarization and acceptance inspection.The exhibition "There Is Always Poetry in Customs" was held in Exhibition Hall A on the third floor of our museum from September 10th to October 11th, 2024. The exhibition carefully selected 51 sets (85 pieces) of works, spanning from Ming and Qing dynasty genre paintings to modern photography works. Among them, 60% of the collections were exhibited for the first time. During the exhibition period of more than 30 days, the number of offline visitors reached 33,000 person-times, and a total of 36 academic and educational activities were held both online and offline.The purpose of this exhibition is to vividly and innovatively display high-quality collections (traditional genre painting collections) and explore the value of traditional culture. It aims to guide modern audiences, through the art form of genre paintings, which is closely related to people's lives, to understand and resonate with the people-centered nature and poetic sentiments in Chinese civilization, as well as the tenacity and optimism in the Chinese character.In the exhibition planning, modern works and modern perspectives were introduced into the dialogue and display of ancient collections. Guided by the concept of the collision and dialogue between the ancient and the modern, more possibilities were proposed for the revitalization and high-level utilization of the collections. Through the lens of modern photography, the ingenuity and wonder of ancient genre paintings were discovered. And through ancient Chinese poems that are familiar to Chinese audiences, the poetic charm in the paintings and the poetry of life were understood.In the specific content, taking the two common types of genre paintings that depict social ceremonies and daily trivialities respectively and have different ways of depiction as the starting point, it is divided into two sections: Praising the Peaceful Scenery; Capturing an Ordinary Moment. It showcases the social portraits and bits and pieces of life, and includes common Chinese genre painting themes, such as the New Year's Day Picture, the Lantern Viewing Picture, Along the River During the Qingming Festival (the Spectacle of the Bian River Picture), the Bin Feng Picture, the Joyful Fishermen, the Characters in the Marketplace, and so on.In terms of visual presentation, the designer first utilized two fan genre painting collections in the exhibition as elements for font design, creating a font that is both highly interesting and distinctly design-oriented. At the same time, vivid figures from ancient paintings and modern photography were extracted and artistically processed, allowing them to rhythmically move through the main title of the exhibition, creating a sense of ancient and modern people meeting and gathering in the time and space of the exhibition hall.At the same time, considering that most genre paintings are horizontally placed long scroll works, the designer ingeniously set up two horizontal lines of sight in the exhibition hall: one is the ancient horizontal line of sight of the display cabinet, and the other is the modern horizontal line of sight for placing modern photography and capturing the details of genre paintings. This not only ensures the effective display of ancient genre paintings but also provides the audience with two parallel and interesting routes for visiting the exhibition, guiding modern audiences to review ancient genre paintings with the guidance of photography.

Nine sub-categories of collections span two thousand years. This push will open the prelude to the promotion of calligraphy and painting works, and bring audiences and friends into the world of the ancient people's pen and ink.In the history of Chinese painting, figure painting is the earliest painting discipline with independent artistic character, and it is also one of the paintings that can intuitively reflect the production, life and thought of human beings. The figure paintings displayed in the exhibition include the world's customs, portraits, Buddhist and Taoist images, and folk gods. They not only reflect the social folk customs and ideological interests of different periods, but also outline the forms of figure painting and the various aspects of the creation, evolution and development of various styles.

: In The Quiet, I Met Wei Qimei's "Corridor Of The High School" At The Central Academy Of Fine Arts

2025-02-14

The 20th century was an important period for the development of Chinese art. The Central Academy of Fine Arts has been involved in it since the beginning and has played an active role in promoting and leading it, teachers and students have participated in the creation of a large number of classic works, which have had a huge impact on the history of modern Chinese art. "Collection of CAFA Art Museum - Modern Chinese Art" selects more than 260 pieces of Chinese art works in the 20th century, with time as the main line, it is divided into three sections: 1900-1949, 1950-1976, and 1977-2000, showing the development of plastic arts in a century.The work "The Corridor of the High School Affiliated to the Central Academy of Fine Arts" introduced in this issue is on long-term exhibition, visitors can get a glimpse of the whole scene and feel the artistic pursuit, artistic exploration and the era appearance of the works in different periods."Corridor of Affiliated High School" is a representative work created by Wei Qimei in 1990, and it is also the most symbolic one of his oil paintings. Wei Qimei has made outstanding achievements in teaching practice, theoretical writings, oil painting creation and comic creation. He is highly sensitive to new things, emphasizes the synchronization of art with the times, and shows a rare passion for exploration and a creative spirit of forging ahead and daring to innovate.>>>>"The Corridor of the High School Affiliated" by Wei Qimei, 1990, oil on canvas, 118x140cm, collection of CAFA Art MUseumAs a passage connecting different spaces, the corridor symbolizes the path of life and the possibility of the future, while the running female students in red symbolize the vitality and pursuit of young people in the new era. Wei Qimei removes irrelevant details and uses a large area of flat painting to make the picture show a surreal spatial texture. The main color of the picture is blue and white, creating a quiet and serious school atmosphere, but the appearance of the female students in red breaks this tranquility and adds a touch of bright color to the picture. It makes the viewer feel a visual impact.The painting uses spatial perspective and the body language of the characters to show a reverie of history and the future. Both people and the environment have the symbol of the "symbol" of the era, fully demonstrating the spiritual core of a specific era. This work is a masterpiece that expresses the era with the mentality of contemporary youth, and is also a transcendent work of the poetic realism that Wei Qimei has adhered to since the 1980s.>>>>Collection Of CAFA Art Museum——Modern Chinese ArtExhibition time: From July 23, 2024Venue: Hall B, 2nd Floor, Central Academy of Fine Arts Art MuseumExhibition professional lighting sponsorship:AKZU (Shenzhen Aksu Lighting System Co., Ltd.)Exhibition space architectural design consultant:China Academy of Building SciencesEditor-in-Chief/He Yisha Editor/Du Yinzhu

: Qi Baishi Imitated Bada Shanren: "The Beauty Lies Between Similar And Unsimilar"

2025-02-14

"Transferring Mimicry: The Exhibition of Chinese Painting Copying Teaching Works of the Central Academy of Fine Arts" is on display at the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. This exhibition presents more than 300 copied works, tutorial drafts and temporary creation and transformation creations of Chinese painting copying teaching in the past century. Which ancient masterpieces are used as models by the School of Chinese Painting of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in the imitation courses of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds? Which modern masters' experiences have become the inspiration for connecting traditional and modern aesthetic concepts? Let us reveal them one by one through the works.●○Qi Baishi is an outstanding painter, calligrapher, seal carver and poet in modern China. He was a carpenter's apprentice in his early years. In 1888, he gave up chiseling and painting, and successively studied under Xiao Xiangyi and Hu Qinyuan; in 1889, he studied poetry under the poet and painter Chen Shaofan; in 1899, he studied poetry under the scholar and writer Wang Kaiyun; in 1902, he traveled to Shaanxi, Beijing, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi; in 1919, he settled in Beijing and began to reform the law after being persuaded by Chen Shi; in 1926, he taught at the National Beijing Art College; in 1946, he went to Nanjing and Shanghai to hold solo exhibitions and served as an honorary professor of Beiping Art College; in 1949, he was elected as a member of the Federation of Chinese Literary and Art Circles and a member of the All-China Association of Artists; in 1952, he was appointed as an honorary professor of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, a research librarian of the Central Museum of Culture and History, and the chairperson of the Honorary President of the Chinese Academy of Painting in Beijing, etc. He has a great style in freehand painting, and advocates "the wonderful thing is between the like and the different". In his later years, he taught at the Central Academy of Fine Arts under the kind invitation of Lin Fengmian and Xu Beihong.Qi Baishi, Copying Zhu Da's Vase, ink on paper, 30cm × 25.5cm, age unknown, collected by Beijing Painting AcademyThis work on display in this exhibition is a copy by Qi Baishi after Bada Shanren. The overall style is concise and lively. In the picture, only one flower and one vase are drawn, but it is full of charm. The flower is formed by dabbing with a brush, and the vase is outlined with lines, showing extremely subtle charm of brush and ink.There is an inscription on the painting: "In my life, I am not good at copying when painting. This piece was seen based on the original work of Bada Shanren. At that time, I lived in Beijing. Baishi." Qi Baishi and Badashanren, although the two art masters are separated by more than 300 years, they have a wonderful fate and connection. Qi Baishi once wrote a poem: "Qingteng and Xuege are far from ordinary beings. Lao Fou in his declining years has unique talent. I wish to be a running dog in Jiuyuan and rotate under the doors of these three masters." (Qingteng refers to Xu Wei, and Xuege is Badashanren.) The poem expresses Qi Baishi's admiration for Badashanren.Qi Baishi, "Remembering the Paintings of Bada Shanren", ink on paper, 30.5cm × 16.4cm, 1907, collected by Beijing Painting AcademyIn the exhibition, another work created by Qi Baishi in 1907 is also on display - "Notes on Bada Shanren's Painting Draft". In his early years, Qi Baishi honed his brushwork by copying the works of predecessors (such as Bada Shanren, Shi Tao, Xu Wei, etc.). He especially emphasized the "simplified freehand" spirit of Bada Shanren.Part of the drawingThe work copied by Qi Baishi intentionally weakens the coldness of Bada Shanren. It incorporates his own observation of natural creatures. The ink application is perhaps more moist and full. The lines are more writing-like. The dynamics of the fish tend to be more vivid (such as the vividness of swimming postures), reflecting his unique aesthetic taste.These two works are vividly and freely brushed. They not only express Qi Baishi's appreciation for Bada Shanren, but also show his personal concept of copying ancient famous works. Copying is not only a technical learning but also an inheritance of the spirit of literati painting, which is extremely consistent with the academic spirit of this exhibition.The exhibition will last until March 16. Interested audiences can visit the exhibition on site.

“传移模写：中央美术学院中国画临摹教学作品展”正在中央美术学院美术馆展出。本次展览由中央美术学院主办，中央美术学院中国画学院、中央美术学院美术馆承办，呈现央美百年来中国画临摹教学的临摹作品、课徒稿及临创转化创作共300余件，旨在挖掘“传移模写”古法在当代高等美术院校中国画教学中的学理价值与时代新意，并探讨在全球化语境下中国画认知体系的深厚内涵与积极意义。●○美国社会学家爱德华·希尔斯（Edward Shils）在《论传统》一书谈到传统的意义，说：“它使代与代之间、一个历史阶段与另一个历史阶段之间保持某种连续性与目的性，构成了一个社会创造和再创造自己的文化密码，并给人类生存带来秩序和意义。”近百年来，中国画的发展一直是在挤压中生存。在当下文化多样化的世界里，当我们讨论中国画乃至宏观把握中国整体艺术的问题时，不仅面对“新”与“旧”的问题，还有如何通过其内部结构的研究、挖掘与再认识，将它的自律性和外部拓展两个方面进行有效统一。作为六法之一的“传移模写”，不仅是学院教学中临摹、写生、创作三位一体的课程开始阶段，更是艺术家在艺术里学习认知的终身功课，是程式、造化、心源不断流变的动态过程。王铎在他的晚年，还坚持“一日临帖，一日应请索”，五十年矻矻不辍，深耕传统，何以如此？我想大概是通过临摹不断地体悟品格趣味之精微，时时警觉风格化中的习气。可见临摹除了流布递传、摹写技巧之外，还是精神内化的津梁。在今天的全球化语境之中，多元文化和艺术形式相互交融与碰撞，更要深入自身传统语言的研究与把握，才能在文化多样性中保持独特性和识别度，因此中国画的语言方式、笔墨理法的研究、基础性的训练尤为重要。此次展览从北平艺专一直到当下央美的临摹教学，以“经典”“遗产”“精研”“变化”四个板块对中央美院百年中国画作一次梳理，讨论当今传移模写的重要性和对未来的启示。展览的每一个板块都呈现出不同时期、不同年代对经典的认知和阐释，见证不同时代摄取古法的细微差异。代与代之间的艺术存在传承，也存在竞争，代与代之间的风尚摇摆，往复循环，这是风格史中常例。这种有趣的学术风景常见于绘画史和音乐史中，就像北宋末年的李公麟、王诜、米芾、徽宗等人奉行带有道统的复古思潮；元初钱选和赵孟頫不满于南宋流行的刻露画风，转而追步唐宋古意；董其昌批评盛极一时的吴门画派“甜俗”，对高古之境的“心想而推之”；黄宾虹试图以唐宋之法臻于浑厚华滋，都藉由历史的审美意识拮抗流行风尚，建立起新的范式。在今天，我们同样需要这种对经典的回望，它使我们得以与时代保持张力，坚守自身对时代的凝视，在全球化多元文化语境中将中国画推向更为宽广的未来，展现中国画在当代世界的独特价值。因此，我们希望通过此次展览，挖掘传统典范中的新知识与新启发，探究中国画理法的当代重构。中国画环环相扣的笔墨程式，不是僵硬的程式化，而是可以“以应无穷”的通变之道。《文心雕龙》云：“变则其久，通则不乏。望今制奇，参古定法。”这是中国画生生不息的源泉。丘挺中央美术学院中国画学院院长部分参展作品齐白石《记八大山人画稿》纸本水墨 30.5cm×16.4cm 1907年北京画院藏齐白石临清朱耷《瓶花》纸本水墨 30cm×25.5cm 年代不详北京画院藏于非闇临传北宋赵佶《御鹰图》绢本设色 165cm×80.5cm 1954年北京画院藏李可染《仿八大山人图》纸本水墨 76cm×42cm 1943年李可染艺术基金会藏蒋采萍临传五代顾闳中《韩熙载夜宴图》局部绢本设色 28cm×77cm 1958年郭怡孮临清任颐四条屏纸本设色 180cm×48cm×4 1960年邓白临麦积山石窟壁画飞天纸本设色 47cm×78cm 1953年中央美术学院美术馆藏吴作人临麦积山石窟壁画甲马局部纸本设色 72cm×87cm 1953年中央美术学院美术馆藏
