The Opening of the Grand Exhibition at the Central Academy Of Fine Arts: "Transmitting and Imitating" Activates the Contemporary Novelty of Chinese Painting Teaching

2025-03-03

  On March 2, 2025, the "Transmitting and Imitating: Exhibition of Chinese Painting Copying Teaching Works of the Central Academy of Fine Arts" was opened. The exhibition was hosted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts and undertaken by the Chinese Painting Academy of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and CAFA Art Museum. This exhibition showcases more than 300 pieces of copied works, sketches for teaching students, and works transformed from copying to original creation in the Chinese painting copying teaching of the Central Academy of Fine Arts over the past century. The aim is to explore the academic value and contemporary novelty of the ancient method of "transmitting and imitating" in the teaching of Chinese painting in contemporary higher art academies, and to discuss the profound connotations and positive significance of the cognitive system of Chinese painting in the context of globalization.Jin Shangyi, Honorary Chairman of the China Artists Association and former President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Feng Yuan, Deputy Director of the Central Research Institute of Culture and History, Zhang Lichen, a senior professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Lin Mao, President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Qiu Ting, Dean of the Chinese Painting Academy of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered speeches at the opening ceremony. Xu Yang, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, announced the opening of the exhibition.Senior artists who have long devoted their efforts to the teaching of Chinese painting and shown care and support for the construction of the Chinese painting discipline, such as Jiang Caiping, Li Baolin, Lou Jiaben, Wang Tongren, Ma Zhensheng, Guo Yicong, Xie Zhigao, Jiang Baolin, Du Dakai, Li Yan, Sun Jingbo, Liu Zhengcheng, Tang Yongli, and other gentlemen, attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition and viewed the exhibits.Fan Di'an, President of the China Artists Association and former President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Zhao Weidong, Executive Deputy Minister of the Publicity Department of the Beijing Municipal Committee, Liu Xuejun, Director of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe, Liu Wanming, Vice President of the China Artists Association and President of the National Academy of Painting, An Yuanyuan, Secretary of the Party Committee of the National Art Museum of China, Zhao Dong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Executive Director of Rongbaozhai Co., Ltd., Li Hongqiang, President of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House, Han Yun, Deputy President of the Higher Education Press of the Ministry of Education, Yang Xiaoyang, President of the China Culture and Art Development Promotion Association and former President of the National Academy of Painting, Xu Li, former Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the China Artists Association, Lu Yushun, former President of the National Academy of Painting, Qi Haifeng, Vice President of the China Artists Association, He Jiaying, former Vice President, Liu Jian, former Secretary General, Wan Jie, Chairman of the Artron Group, Tian Zhong, President of the Hebei Fine Arts Publishing House, as well as the heads of well-known national art institutions and art colleges, the leadership team of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and members of the Academic Committee attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition. Wang Xiaolin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, presided over the opening ceremony.Lin Mao, President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered a speech.In his speech, Lin Mao stated that since the last century, the Central Academy of Fine Arts has taken the teaching system of "the trinity" of copying, sketching, and creating as its core to lay the foundation for the education of the Chinese Painting Academy, integrating the long-standing tradition of Chinese painting into the modern education system. He mentioned that Chinese painting should not only safeguard its cultural essence but also explore new languages and forms. Just as Mr. Li Keran mentioned on multiple occasions: "Sink in with the greatest effort and break out with the greatest courage." This two-way path of inheritance and innovation is precisely the key to keeping Chinese painting vibrant in the contemporary era. This exhibition is a historical sorting out and presentation of the teaching achievements of Chinese painting copying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts since its establishment. "Transmitting and imitating" is not only a reflection on the essence of contemporary Chinese painting but also a new opportunity to explore the training mode and discourse system for professional talents in Chinese painting in the new era. The school will also strive to cultivate outstanding talents with a sense of social responsibility and cultural mission of the times, making more contributions to building a strong educational and cultural country.Jin Shangyi, Honorary Chairman of the China Artists Association and former President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered a speechIn his speech, Mr. Jin Shangyi traced back the historical traditions of Chinese painting over the past thousand years and the development process of Chinese painting teaching over the past hundred years. He mentioned that artistic creation should reflect people's lives. In the Chinese painting teaching system, sketching classes have been added, enabling teachers and students to paint real people with distinct personalities to solve the problem of figure modeling, thus establishing a teaching system of "the trinity" of copying, sketching, and creating. He stated that in Chinese painting teaching, there is no need to debate the issues of "integration of Chinese and Western art" and "maintaining a distance." We should strengthen the role of traditional culture and make copying, an important way to learn from traditions, better combine with sketching, which aims to "solve the problem of figures and reflect life," so as to develop our Chinese painting.Feng Yuan, Deputy Director of the Central Research Institute of Culture and History, delivered a speechIn his speech, Feng Yuan stated that this exhibition has threefold significance: Firstly, it is about "reviewing the old and learning the new," looking back and sorting out the historical context of Chinese painting teaching over the past hundred years. Secondly, it combines the current teaching issues, explores the correlations among the purposes, functions, and methods, and further excavates deeper academic significance. Thirdly, it adheres to the right path and promotes innovation, highlighting the practical value of the "two innovations" and deeply grasping the distinct characteristics of Xi Jinping Thought on Culture. With the theme of "Transmitting and Imitating," the exhibition not only presents the teaching and educating methods of the Central Academy of Fine Arts that take copying as the foundation and an important link in the tradition but also provides many new topics. It is hoped that Chinese painting will have a broader space in its future development and in the exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations. It is also hoped that the Central Academy of Fine Arts will continue to play a leading role in the innovative development of Chinese painting teaching across the country.Zhang Lichen, a senior professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered a speechMr. Zhang Lichen stated that the Central Academy of Fine Arts has always been grounded in the excellent traditional Chinese culture and has been showcasing Chinese art to the world with the achievements of traditional Chinese painting teaching. "Transmitting and Imitating" is one of the "Six Principles of Painting" put forward by Xie He in his "Record of Ancient Paintings". It is an important way for the inheritance of Chinese painting, having its own unique development form, and has also become an important method in the teaching of Chinese painting during the process of artistic development. At the Academy of Fine Arts, "taking the copying class seriously" has always been the commitment of teachers and students majoring in Chinese painting. The exhibition not only showcases the outstanding works of the copying practices of generations of teachers and students but also provides a concentrated demonstration for the future teaching of Chinese painting.Qiu Ting, Dean of the Chinese Painting Academy of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered a speechQiu Ting briefly introduced the curatorial situation of this exhibition. He particularly mentioned that the exhibition design showcases eight discussions on "transmitting and imitating" from painting theories of different dynasties. Traditional classics are "inspiring", and tracing back to these traditional classics has a sense of "experimentation" and "openness", which reflects the cultural spirit of the Chinese people's exploration of the relationship between "the ancient and the new" over thousands of years. In the era of fragmentation, Chinese art has the soft power to soothe people's hearts and the cultural plasticity to mend the broken models. By sorting out the achievements of Chinese painting copying teaching in the National Beiping Art School over the past hundred years, this exhibition presents a complete cognitive learning system of Chinese painting. At the same time, taking this exhibition as a starting point, the Chinese Painting Academy of the Central Academy of Fine Arts should shoulder the responsibility of the times to deeply explore, reconstruct, and innovatively transform traditional culture, and jointly explore the possibilities of Chinese painting's "beginning, development, transition, and conclusion, and its continuous growth".Xu Yang, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, announced the opening of the exhibition.Wang Xiaolin, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, presided over the opening ceremony■ The Scene of Visiting the Exhibition ____________■ At the Exhibition Site ________________■ Exhibition Works (Partial) _______________

The Flow of Time in "Chuan", Yu Hong Outlines the Urban Vitality of the 1980s with Colors

2025-02-28

"Chuan" is a work created by Yu Hong in 1988 when she graduated from undergraduate studies and remained at the school as a faculty member. This period was in the mid-to-late 1980s in China, which was an important turning point in Chinese contemporary art. As one of the representative painters of this era, Yu Hong has a unique personal style. This work marks Yu Hong's transition from realism to an exploration of a more expressive language, and it is also a visual testimony to the transformation of urban culture in China during the 1980s of the 20th century. "Chuan" is on long-term display in the exhibition "Collection of CAFA Art Museum--Modern Chinese Art". Come and see how Yu Hong outlines the urban vitality of the 1980s with colors.>>>>"Chuan", by Yu Hong,1988, Oil on Canvas,130×140 cm, Collected by CAFA Art MuseumThis work depicts a group of young urbanites in the prime of their lives walking against the wind. The female figure at the forefront of the painting is generally regarded as a portrayal of Yu Hong herself. The figures in the painting are slightly distorted, and the clarity of traditional realism is eliminated through blurred boundaries. This treatment not only preserves the dynamism of the figures but also endows the painting with a flowing poetic quality, presenting a reflection of the fast-paced urban life and demonstrating a stronger artistic expressiveness of the work. On the basis of realism, Yu Hong enhances the role of colors and brushstrokes, making the painting exhibit a visual impact and full artistic tension. The work adopts a distinct and contrasting color tone. In terms of composition, Yu Hong skillfully arranges the positions and movements of the figures, giving the painting a sense of fluidity and rhythm. At the same time, through the treatment of the background and the application of light and shadow, she creates a unique atmosphere and sense of space."Chuan" employs the rough scraping knife technique to create textures on the canvas. This kind of confrontational brushwork not only echoes the sense of tearing in the fast-paced urban life but also conveys the fervor and confusion of youth through the thick feeling brought by the accumulation of pigments. By depicting the life scenes of urban young people walking against the wind in the 1980s, this work showcases the spiritual outlook and characteristics of that era. The composition of the painting breaks through the conventional perspective, connecting the figures and space with dynamic lines. This kind of brushwork is not only an abstract extraction of the natural landscape but also a visual expression of the passage of time, ultimately constructing a spiritual field full of tension.>>>>Collection Of CAFA Art MUseum——Modern Chinese ArtExhibition Time: Starting from July 23, 2024Exhibition Venue: 2B Gallery, CAFA Art MuseumSponsor of Professional Exhibition Lighting:AKZU (Shenzhen AKS Lighting System Co., Ltd.)Exhibition Space Architectural Design Consultant:China Academy of Building ResearchChief Editor / He Yisha  Editor / Du Yinzhu

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

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.                                                                   Activity Review:                                                                   Huang Xiaofeng: The Establishment of "Genre Paintings" in Ancient China                                                                   Shi Hanmu: A Casual Talk on Ancient Chinese Genre Paintings                                                                   Wang Huangsheng: Art Museums, Photography and Collection在展览的公共教育方面,美术馆针对不同类型的观众策划了系列活动,比如邀请美术史学者黄小峰和施含牧,围绕中国风俗画的源流发展、概念意涵举办专题讲座,邀请摄影研究学者王璜生,针对美术馆摄影收藏的历程进行了概述;利用闭馆日组织中国画学院学生临摹原作;举办硕博士参与的展览专题研究工作坊等等。

More than 200 pieces of the collection are selected and exhibited in two types: "utensils" and "calligraphy and painting", including bronze mirrors, portrait bricks, figurines, ceramics, religious statues, figure paintings, flower and bird paintings, landscape paintings, and calligraphy. 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.
