1937 After graduating from Zhongyuan Art School, Shanghai Xinhua Art Institute and Shanghai Fine Arts Institute, he went to An, where he successively served as president and editor-in-chief of Art Array Monthly, dean of Couples Art Institute, dean of China Art Institute and professor of Shaanxi Business School. 1in the autumn of 937, I went to Dunhuang Mogao grottoes to copy murals, which lasted for eight or nine months and suffered a lot. I wrote down hundreds of gestures. 194 1 year, he absorbed the essence of Dunhuang frescoes and created a long scroll "Elysium" with a length of more than 40 feet and a picture of 400 square feet, which attracted attention in the art world, and gave his hard-won treasure map of Dunhuang to painting friends, helping great painters including Zhang Daqian to successfully board Dunhuang, and later made selfless contributions.
War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, the land was barren and the people suffered. Li Dinglong was filled with indignation. He not only promoted anti-Japanese through painting, but also held many charity sales and donations. He sold 100 paintings in Dunhuang alone and donated all the proceeds. In the school where he is the principal in Xi 'an, all exiled students are exempted from tuition and compulsory teaching. He traveled all over the northwest and held many fundraising exhibitions to raise money for poor children. With his own brush, he contributed to the war of resistance.
1938, the Kuomintang bombed the mouth of the Yellow River, turning the land in eastern Henan yellow and water. 1940, in order to tell the world about the tragic situation in the disaster area, Li Dinglong set out from Huayuankou and traveled eastbound along the flood area, using a brush to describe the disaster situation of land inundation and human and animal drowning in detail. 1945, he went to the floodplain again, painting that the fertile land became a desert after the floodplain. The plight of people who have left their homes. He went to Pan-area twice and had a hard time. For seven months, I spent most of my time painting in the water. Two 40-meter-long "Portraits of Huang Pan" were exhibited, and the viewers were all moved. Later, Cleveland of the United Nations Relief Agency brought copies of these two paintings to the United States for exhibition.
Part of the map of a peaceful world
The United States invited him to hold an art exhibition in the United States, and some Kuomintang officials lobbied him to "don't believe in anything" and "go to the United States to become famous and rich!" Li Dinglong resolutely refused to go to America. This incident angered the Kuomintang authorities and Li Dinglong's paintings were not allowed to be exhibited and sold again. He is being made difficult everywhere, and it is difficult to make ends meet. He also said that he would arrest him. He took refuge in Jiangxi alone. In Jiangxi, he traveled all over the world, enjoying not only the natural scenery, but also many touching stories of the Red Army's Long March. For several months in a row, he worked hard in the mountains and forests, and finally drew a long scroll "Ganjiang Travel Map". Soon, he returned to Shanghai, and based on what he saw and heard in Jiangxi, he began to create the comic book "The Long March of 25,000 Li". After the Kuomintang authorities found out, they wanted to arrest him again. He hid in the countryside of Shaoxing and insisted on painting. After the liberation of Shanghai, this work was published immediately, which became the first bouquet of heart flowers that Li Dinglong risked his life to dedicate to new China. On the eve of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Li Dinglong went to Beijing to attend the "CPPCC Conference" as a representative of the Central Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association. I met my friend Dong, and he and Dong discussed how to celebrate the founding of New China. Later, Dong Xian painted founding ceremony, and Li Dinglong also painted founding ceremony (also known as Imperial Horse Map). Li Dinglong's paintings are based on the horse racing scenes of ethnic minorities in northwest China, showing people's warm feelings of jumping and celebrating the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). This 40-meter-long painting runs through the scene of horse racing. There are 500 or 600 horses, 10 camels, 600 or 700 characters with different shapes and vivid charm. 1950 labor day was exhibited in Beijing, which was highly praised by the party, the state and some famous artists.
After the founding of New China, Li Dinglong devoted himself to teaching and trained a new generation of fine arts talents. He has served as a professor at Shanghai University, Shanghai Business School and Shanghai Normal University, and he is full of peaches and plums.
1955, he drew a volume of "Double Hundred Pictures", 40 meters long. Later, as a souvenir, it was presented to Voroshirov, who was visiting China, and was collected by the Soviet Museum. The relevant leaders of our country were amazed when they saw this map in the Soviet Union, but they felt sorry because there was no one at home. When Li Dinglong learned about it, it took him three months from the National Day of 1984 to re-create a "Double Hundred Pictures", which was twice as big as the original and richer in connotation. After the painting was finished, all the audience were surprised and sighed. Professor Su wrote a poem, saying, "Birds happily open up new spaces, and flowers decorate old China." . The crayons are swaying and the sound is beautiful. "1March, 986, won the' World Golden Hand Award'.
1985, Li Dinglong went to the Yellow River area to sketch for the third time. He started from Huayuankou, and along the last two routes, he wrote down the new look of today's Huangpan District. After returning to Shanghai, he painted a 220-meter scroll "The New Face of the Yellow River Flooding Area".
1September 1989, Li Dinglong was invited to give a lecture in Japan, which was warmly welcomed by all walks of life. In Japan, he was given excellent working and living conditions and was advised to stay in Japan. Others advised him to hold an exhibition in Tokyo, but he declined politely.
Although Li Dinglong was very old in his later years, he didn't know how to work hard. He gets up at three or four o'clock every day and works tirelessly until late at night.
1989 began to create the long scroll Map of a Peaceful World for the United Nations with a length of 2000 meters and a total area of 1500 square meters. This painting was completed before his death, and it is another long scroll painting "The Best in the World" created by Li Dinglong.
