0 1 ? Li Kuchan and his paintings were born in poor Li Kuchan. Influenced by the traditional culture of their hometown since childhood, they gradually embarked on the road of art. In order to make themselves go further and wider on their artistic journey, Li Kuchan took Qi Baishi as his teacher at 1923. During his apprenticeship, Li Kuchan gradually improved his painting skills. Sure enough, with his talent and hard work, Li Kuchan became a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and served as a director of the China Artists Association and a member of the China Language Institute.
? If Li Kuchan's paintings can best reflect his works, it is probably his eagle. He vividly showed the unruly appearance of the eagle. This level of painting is easily reminiscent of Badashanren and Xu Wei. After all, these two people have an insurmountable height in the history of China's freehand flower-and-bird painting. However, Li Kuchan can also be said to be a latecomer. He not only inherited the charm and character of Badashanren and Xu Wei, but even incorporated his own characteristics on this basis, which made people full of praise for Li Kuchan's artistic attainments.
02 ? Fan Ceng and his paintings, Fan Ceng, a disciple of Li Kuchan, also have high artistic attainments. Besides painting, Fan Ceng is also good at writing poems, which earned him the title of poet. So-called? Shine on you is better than blue? This old saying, in the eyes of many people, Fan Ceng can be said to have surpassed the master Li Kuchan. There are many names for Fan Ceng alone. For example, China is a great scholar, thinker, master of Chinese studies, master of painting and calligraphy, writer, poet and so on. In addition, he is the president of Peking University Chinese Painting Research Institute, the only tenured professor of Nankai University and Nantong University, and the UNESCO? Special adviser on multiculturalism? Wait for multiple positions. As for Fan Ceng's painting, it can be said that it is a big breakthrough in the master's works. He is not only painting, but also integrating poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing, and he has high attainments in this respect. He is also good at task painting that Master Li Kuchan is not good at. Even, through creation? Neoclassicism? As an artistic pioneer, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award of China Art Literature Award.
03 ? Li Kuchan or Fan Ceng, whose work is better? If we simply compare their works, it is very likely that both fans hold different opinions. In fact, comparing the two works requires a scale. If we compare the flower-and-bird works, it seems to me that Li Kuchan's works are more charming than Fan Ceng's, especially Li Kuchan's Eagle, which is difficult for Fan Ceng to reach; In terms of human works, I think Fan Ceng's works are relatively more exquisite. In a word, two people's works have their own merits and cannot be simply compared.
