Since ancient times, Ying Yeping still adheres to the principle of "pen and ink keep pace with the times". The times need the creative idea of fine products, hone the painting language repeatedly, diligently explore the forms of expression, integrate the ancient and the modern, and strengthen the personality, which has made indelible contributions to enriching and perfecting the pen and ink techniques of modern ink painting. In his later years, the pen and ink tend to be thick, concise, carefree and vigorous. He is good at depicting rocks, trees, flowing springs and village houses with simple and elegant calligraphy, and at the same time, he is dizzy and rubbed with varied pen and ink. Increase the thickness and layering of objects, replace points and lines with blocks, leave blank and blur in some areas, show the gradation of light and shade, use colors or shades, or quietly elegant, color and ink permeate each other, and the charm is subtle, which not only has the beauty of the landscape of the South School, but also has the massiness and naturalness of the landscape of the North School. I like to paint, write and collect poems.

After touring Osaka and holding a solo exhibition in China Art Museum, his paintings have been widely circulated at home and abroad, becoming another heavyweight master of modern landscape painting after Zhang Daqian, Wu Hufan and Fu Baoshi.

The masterpieces left behind are widely favored by Chinese and foreign collectors. According to a rough estimate, he left hundreds of landscape paintings with themes in his life, covering almost the stormy course and eventful years of New China in various periods, which is a condensed and representative history of landscape paintings in New China. Even from the perspective of China's art history, Ying Yeping is the first one in thousands of years.

As Mr. Cheng Shifa said, after the founding of New China, "Mr. Ying Yeping's paintings have added great vitality and the style of painting has also changed significantly. In composition and form, it broke away from the shackles of the old form and added new interest, which was beyond the reach of the ancient statutes. It can be said that the intersection of the traditional stream and the source of nature has made Mr. Ye Ping's landscape paintings glow with new brilliance. "

Art evaluation

Scenery comes first.

Ying Yeping, a famous contemporary landscape painter, was born in 19 10 and died in 1990. He was born in Jesus Church at the south gate of Ninghai County, Zhejiang Province. His original name was Ying Duanjun. Under the influence of his father, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and then president of Ninghai Education, he copied ancient books when he was young. /kloc-When he was 0/4 years old, he came to Shanghai as an apprentice. By chance, he got to know Pan Tianshou, a teacher in the Art Institute, and gradually embarked on the road of painting career.

Ying Yeping's greatest legacy is China's landscape paintings.

He has a very pious sense of responsibility for painting. Every time a simple note is recorded, he has ink with him and no ink in his chest (stone doubt), I forget everything. What drives pen and ink to run is only loyalty to art and infinite affection for life, that is, he has what the ancients called "qi"

Over the years, Ying Yeping's profound accumulation of "learning from foreign teachers" and the mountains and rivers evolved from "learning from the heart" in the creative process are shrouded in a sincere sense of life and art. Dongpo has a saying that "a little noble spirit, a thousand miles fast wind", and its artistic conception can be seen from the picture of old age. He often writes on impulse, frank and honest, relaxed and lucky. There are blocks in the chest and clouds on the soles of the feet, all of which are condensed on the picture intentionally or unintentionally.

When appreciating Ying Lao's landscape paintings, if we can carefully consider the pen, ink, color and water, we will gain more. The works advocate grandeur, in one go, and give full play to the wonderful effect that water, ink and color can only produce when you put pen to paper for the first time. The infiltration of ink and wash is constantly changing in the whole creative process. Rocks and peaks have strong reflections under the sunlight, and there is an atmosphere of dense shadows of green sand between the clouds and the dew in the mountains. Clouds are rolling and clouds are comfortable, streams are running, those who are quiet are firm, those who are moving are looking forward to it, and a natural picture scroll is chaotic.

In fact, the artistic connotation of Ying Lao's calligraphy, especially Li Shu, is no less than landscape painting. Because of the painter's different feelings, when I put pen to paper, I lost the pure and eternal bondage of the supremacy of the eight laws, infiltrated the layout of landscape painting and atmospheric rendering, and regarded the French-Chinese bamboo slips as a whole, giving viewers a noble and timeless sense of artistic conception.

The Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the State Guesthouse and local art galleries have collected many famous works by British and old people, which have received rave reviews. Neighboring Japan praised him as "the first landscape painter in China".

Silent painting stunt

Ying Yeping's basic skills in Chinese painting are very solid, and he has many unique skills. In particular, his unique ability to silently draw is impressive. Any famous ancient painting, as long as it passes through Ying Yeping's eyes, can be painted exactly the same silently afterwards, which greatly admires his peers.

However, the ability of Yingye to memorize and draw silently is forced by the difficult environment of learning to draw. This unique technique has played an extremely important role in Ying Yeping's artistic creation for half a century. When learning traditional techniques, his ability to memorize enables him to fully grasp the unique laws of lines and pen and ink of various techniques; In-depth life makes his observation and discrimination more acute and meticulous than others.

At that time, because of the lack of conditions, it was rare to see good paintings, so I had to recite them on the spot. It's not easy to draw silently. At first, he remembered one stroke, forgot that stroke, remembered a mountain and forgot two trees. After numerous rote memorization, I finally got the eye-catching appearance of the Monkey King on Huaguoshan and honed a pair of extraordinary reciting skills. Later, the paintings he saw, no matter how complicated the brushwork and composition, could be memorized as long as he pondered them carefully, so that he could recite them accurately and reproduce the original appearance meticulously.

Elegant and popular appreciation

"The First Man in China Jiangnan Ink Painting" is the Japanese evaluation of Ying Yeping, but it also appropriately reflects Ying Yeping's position in contemporary Chinese painting.

Ying Yeping's paintings have distinct personalities, and it is easy to pick out his paintings from a large number of works. The uniqueness of this personality comes from his painting skills as well as his painting ideas. His skills serve his thoughts, and his thoughts can be appropriately transformed into skills, so that his mind and hands are smooth and his masterpieces are repeated.

Like previous Shanghai painters, Ying Yeping started from tradition and experienced the painting process from imitation to innovation. Although Ying Yeping had an innovative idea long ago, it was not until 1949 after the liberation of Shanghai that he really put it into practice and began to gain something.

Ying Yeping changed his name from Ye Ping to Ye Ping out of political enthusiasm, and his determination to reform painting was greatly encouraged by political enthusiasm. He consciously dipped the brush in the ink color of the new period because he wanted to create paintings that expressed the real life content.

You should know that the creation of traditional ink painting is a learning style. Even though the old adage says "read thousands of books and take the road of Wan Li", the reality is that painters still focus on the bookish spirit on the picture, which is a transcendental spirit far from the world and a paradise for painters to place their utopian ideals. When Ying Yeping, accustomed to this emotion and the traditional painting techniques associated with it, faced the reality, he had to change his pen and ink habits to meet the requirements of the new era.

He traveled all over the mountains, rivers and urban construction sites in New China, and created a large number of masterpieces that are still full of passion of the times with brand-new pen and ink, attracting numerous praises.

As an urban artist and a new generation of Shanghai painting masters, Ying Yeping's paintings are also permeated with the cultural atmosphere of modern cities, which is manifested in his aesthetic pursuit of pictures, his idealistic sustenance for the connotation of his works and his tendency to suit both refined and popular tastes in form.

The pursuit of aestheticism makes his paintings stress the perfection of details and the richness and completeness of pen and ink, including the unity and coordination of poetry, calligraphy and painting. The sustenance of idealism made him fall in love with Huangshan. He took pains to describe the strange peaks and rocks of Huangshan Mountain, flying clouds and turbulence, and completely integrated himself. The form of appealing to both refined and popular tastes is the result of his ingenious combination of the times and the aesthetics of modern urbanites.

Ying Yeping showed the profound consciousness of the ancients in a way that people loved, just as Ren Bonian painted figures that people could understand all generations ago. Ying Yeping invited Chinese paintings, mainly landscape paintings, out of his study and into the public. This can be said to be another revolution in China's traditional painting, and its significance has gone far beyond the scope of techniques.

Be good at drawing lessons from

Ying Yeping loves sex and attaches great importance to friendship. He has friends in all walks of life. While harvesting friendship, he talked with his friends about art and painting and learned from each other.

Yang Zhenxiong, a famous storyteller, has a close relationship with Ying Yeping. Ying Yeping likes to listen to pingtan, especially Yang Zhenxiong's Palace of Eternal Life. Yang Zhenxiong once recalled that there was a CPPCC club at that time, and every Thursday was the time for painters, calligraphers, engravers and artists to get together for activities. At every activity, everyone talks about poetry and painting and writes casually. Sometimes I write poems and draw pictures together, and I join in the fun. After a long time, everyone will be familiar with it. Besides every Thursday, Mr. Ying Yeping and I often exchange visits. In the words of Mr. Ying Yeping, we are friends of literature and art. Mr. Ying Yeping studied poetry and painting. His art was expressed by pen and ink and Xuan paper, while mine was expressed by stage. When I perform, Mr. Ying is often my guest. When Mr. Ying Yeping draws, I often look behind my back. I said to Mr. Ying Yeping: It is a pleasure to watch painters draw. It's a blank sheet of paper, and then it's a mountain valley. The painter's pen, composition, color matching and inscription are of great help to my performance of playing ci, and I can strive for perfection. Mr. Ying Yeping also said, "Listening to your Palace of Eternal Life can make painters more interested in painting." He added: "Literature and art are similar to each other and can absorb each other. For example, Zhang Xu in the Tang Dynasty saw Gong Sundaniang's sword dance and got weeds, and so on. " There are many banners and albums left by Ying teacher in my Mo Bao, but my favorite is Ying teacher's fan. Whenever I create or perform, the bold pen and ink and majestic momentum in Mr. Ying Yeping's paintings infect me, give me association and give me reference.

Like painting

Ying Yeping loves art and life, and he is a man of temperament. He has experienced many hardships in his life, and the more he suffers, the more he can show his optimism and tenacity. He had a stroke, his hands trembled and he couldn't hold the pen. Even a doctor friend said, I'm afraid Teacher Ying can't draw any more. However, after his miraculous recovery, he not only stubbornly picked up the pen, but surprisingly, his art became more sophisticated and calm.

A famous journalist solemnly made friends with Yingyeping, and once wrote and published Yingyeping Chronicle. According to his writing, that year, Ying Yeping was suddenly found to have esophageal cancer, and after chemotherapy, he had a strong reaction. He still didn't agree, and gave some poems written in his illness to Zheng Zheng, saying, "Take a rest after a minor illness, so throw pen and ink for a while and have a good trip." At this time, people thought that he could no longer paint. After receiving his poems, I went to see him solemnly, only to find Ying Yeping's new work hanging on the wall, which read "Try to write after illness". After reading it carefully, I feel happy: alas, Teacher Ying can hold a pen again.

Originally, Ying Yeping lived very carefully during his illness, and his body got better day by day. In autumn, several northwest winds blow, and crabs in Yangcheng Lake are on the market. Although "taboo" for a long time, but this time "temptation", Ying Yeping taboo to eat a crab, since then cancer out of control. Ying yeping regretted this and wrote a poem solemnly:' Heaven never dies, everyone dies, and illness begins with a crab. If this body can be rejuvenated, don't talk lightly for the time being. There is a postscript at the end of the letter: "I don't eat crabs, and I don't draw crabs anymore. "

However, this time the disease never gave him a chance to rejuvenate, and his condition went from bad to worse. Once in front of his bed, he solemnly said that you are 81 years old this year, and you can call it "99 Weng". He said: I don't want to be the birthday girl, I just want to paint. When I was sick, I dreamed of drawing until I couldn't hold a pen. He believed that his artistic life was very long, and he was still painting with strokes until the end of his life. He didn't expect to leave so soon.

achievements of art

Rich in subject matter

As an outstanding pioneer of modern China ink landscape painting and an outstanding representative of Shanghai style art, Mr. Ying Yeping practiced the 16-character creative purpose of "people have nothing, people are new, people are new and special, and people are special and refined". In his artistic career of more than 60 years, he has been adhering to the aesthetic concept of "originality, artistry, exploration and foresight" and has gone deep into industrial and mining areas, fishing villages, construction sites and jobs with a strong sense of innovation and responsibility. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to be lonely, tireless and unwilling to avoid difficulties and obstacles. With his keen artistic tentacles, he closely followed the pulse of the times, showed the spirit of the times, poured out people's voices and described construction achievements. He has created a large number of works with rich themes and novel forms, which are praised as red classics by people in the industry.

Since 1954, he has participated in national art exhibitions, including Yan Pu, Fuchun River, Mountain Bowing, River Giving Way, Qian Fan Welcoming Dawn, Qianshan Mountain and Spring in Shanghai. Fuchunjiang, Scout Looking at Tonglu, Living in a secluded place at the foot of the mountain, Qifeng and Song Xiu were exhibited abroad and in Hong Kong, and included in picture books.

Works reflecting the Red Army's Long March, Dadu River and Luding Bridge, were collected by the China Military Museum, while works depicting the splendid rivers and mountains of the motherland, the spring scenery inside and outside the Great Wall, Lushan Mountain and Huangshan Mountain are now collected in the Great Hall of the People, and 25,000 March of Li Long, Scenery of Chashan Mountain and Accusing the Landlord are collected by the China Art Museum.

Acura era

Ying Yeping believes: "Use a pen to be affectionate. The word "love" is often ignored by people and it is not easy to make it clear. In fact, Chinese painting has always been about' pen feeling and ink interest'. Here, the word' pen' and the word' emotion' are linked together and contain profound meanings. The feeling of using a pen comes from the feeling of expressing the object and also reflects the subjective feeling of the author. If the author has no feelings for the performance object, it is impossible to have feelings at the end. Therefore, painting depends not only on skill, but also on emotion. " Ying Yeping, who came from the old times, has been in the age of no doubt since the founding of New China. It welcomes the prosperous times and renews its ideas. The constantly emerging new things can always arouse his creative passion, and eulogizing the changes of the times with traditional pen and ink has become his conscious action of diligent exploration. He walked out of the studio, went deep into life, shared his destiny with the people, his thoughts changed, and his painting style changed.

From his thousands of sketches, it is not difficult to see that he has got rid of the shackles of the old program, and his pen and ink techniques are becoming more and more mature and perfect. Some subjects never touched by the ancients and some forms regarded as dangerous by modern people dare to be the first, and he uses them freely without revealing gaps. The transmission towers and giant cranes in Travels of Guangzhou, the bumper rice fields, farmers' new houses and riverbanks in Travels of Tonglu, the newly-built factories in Travels of Changshu, the nursing homes and Panshan Highway in Travels of Jinggangshan, the 10,000-ton ship on Huangpu River and the industrial areas and buildings on both sides of Suzhou Creek are all accurately and vividly described.

Red classic

In the 1960s, Ying Yeping created a large number of Mao Zedong poems and paintings, which skillfully combined the profound poetry of the leaders with the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. They were bold, colorful and magnificent, and had unique aesthetic value. The main work is Loushanguan, which describes the epic battle course of the Red Army in destroying the camp, pulling out the village, breaking through the customs and defeating the enemy. In the picture, the frost forest is full of dye, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, a Red Army soldier stands on the cliff and blows the marching horn, and the mighty Red Army team rides forward and plays a triumphant song. Exquisite shallow front painting vividly embodies the dauntless and heroic spirit of "Xiongguan is as iron as a road, taking a step now".

Written on 1966, "Wan Shan Hong Bian" is a combination of lofty and far-reaching techniques, with overlapping mountains, ups and downs, plunging down, tinkling streams, frost-covered forests, blooming like spring flowers, ochre red, warm and dazzling, and alternating between reality and reality.

Written on 1965, "Wan Shanhong Class" is a splash-ink style with vigorous brushwork, strong ink color, strong ink color, touching, climbing the mountain road, contending for the flow, magnificent and powerful, which shows the spiritual connotation of that era.

"Climbing Mount Lushan" takes the brushwork of the Yuan people, sketches and rubs it in one go, and is painted in turquoise, which is full of meaning. It inscribed Mao Zedong's seven-rhythm poems in cursive script, and the poems, books and paintings complement each other.

The painting "Rice Waves" depicts farmers happily harvesting new rice under the dense forest of Chongshan Mountain. The rice waves roll straight into the eye, full of decorative interest, vividly setting off the meaningful poetry of "I like to watch the rice waves, and heroes everywhere are setting off the sunset", and the content and form have reached a perfect unity.

Works of art are the product of the times and the "barometer" of social changes. In Ying Yeping's works, the themes describing revolutionary shrines and sites occupy a considerable proportion. There are many paintings in Jinggangshan alone. Jinggang scenery is dominated by trees, scattered far and near, with rich colors. The contrast between the red-roofed buildings in the distance and the turquoise tone is very strong, and the historical sites in the mountains are towering and towering, which embodies people's deep memories of hard work in hard years. Other works, such as Ma Shuangshi, Zhu Sha Chong, Huang Yangjie, and Ciping's new look, are either picturesque or realistic or artistic, with diverse techniques and wonderful effects.

Ying Yeping once recited the poem "Sincere Love and Deep Spring" and appreciated his work "The Former Residence of Chairman Mao", and he can deeply feel its rich meaning. In the bright spring, people who went to pay their respects entered in turn, daydreaming. The pond in front of the former residence is full of spring waves, pines and mountains, full of business, scenes and scenes, and profound meanings. Such a sincere red classic is comparable to Li Keran, a master who is also famous for his red classic paintings in the north.
