So for a painter, whether you can draw beautiful pictures is actually a diligent question, just to see if you can observe life carefully and understand every day. If you can do this, then your painting is successful, if not, then your painting is a failure, which is not important for painting talents.
We all know that there was a very clever emperor in the Song Dynasty. His name is Song. Although he is weak, he has a high artistic attainments, especially his flower-and-bird painting, which reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. Without Song Huizhuo, the culture and art of the Song Dynasty would greatly decline. Even if there is no way to imagine. So why did Song Huilong become such a beautiful artistic accomplishment and artistic level? In fact, he originated from careful observation of nature and life. He organized a peacock painting in the Academy of Painting and a peony painting at noon, in order to examine their observation of what they painted. As a result, he found that most people draw peacocks inaccurately, because peacocks first mention their left feet in the picture, but many people ignore this. Moreover, peony will show different postures during the day, and the peony in the afternoon is different.
Then, this explains why Song achieved such high artistic achievements. He doesn't accept careful observation. Some people's observation, although it also has natural ingredients, is more about observing what they can go to the heart. They can observe the laws of things with their heads and sum up their laws, so I think I think it is the effort of the day to draw the main things. So let's make a hypothesis the next day. Suppose you study calligraphy, then the most important thing is your talent, not your diligence. Why do you say that?
Because we know that calligraphy is a very abstract art, it is abstract, it is not a concrete thing, but a written symbol, and then the written symbol is good, wrong, and there is no objective standard. It is different from painting. We can compare the paintings drawn by artists with concrete things, and then you have a good or bad thing. However, calligraphy is not good. Calligraphy is a very subjective meaning, but it is also relatively objective. It is between subjective and objective, and there is no accurate quality standard. But when we face calligraphy works, we can feel its quality, but why? Why not? We can't say clearly.
Many people will say no, because calligraphy is still the law, as long as the law is not good. But if we are too disorderly in law, we will fall into a strange circle, so we will obey the law too much and commit too many illegal acts. Both of them need to master a certain degree, which is actually the artist's subjectivity, so it has a lot to do with the artist's personal accomplishment and talent. Mr. Hu Shixian, a very famous literary trader in modern times, once said that his calligraphy is very similar to that before Pliester, and it is a great effort of calligraphy. Is it important to learn calligraphy and painting?
However, let's take a look at his words. Still have no high artistic accomplishment. We can only say that a controversial media has certain skills and Hu Shi has not been able to achieve a good art. This is not a question of his personal ability, but a question of talent. This means that learning calligraphy still requires a certain talent. The above is my understanding of this problem. Welcome to discuss with me and insist on seriously thinking about the art of calligraphy.
