Creative style
Beautiful Xinjiang, because of its unique geographical and resource advantages, is called "the gold mine of art and the cradle of painters". Yu Yuntao is one of the best painters who grew up in Xinjiang. Yu Yuntao was born in Tianjin. After coming to Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in 1960s, he worked as a teacher, director of Art editor and Tuan Art Museum. Until now, he is the chairman of the Corps Fine Arts Association and the chairman of the Shihezi Federation of Literary and Art Circles. It can be said that his youth was spent in Xinjiang, and his great achievements in art were also realized in Xinjiang. Tianjin, the distant shore of Haihe River, gave him life, and Xinjiang's regional, ethnic and cultural customs gave him inspiration and passion for creation. In his own words, "I am a painter of the Corps" and "I am a painter of Xinjiang". From Yu Yuntao's "China Ink-and-Wash Series of Figure Paintings of Western Regions", we can appreciate the spiritual fit of the artist in expressing the object, and we can also appreciate the optimistic, witty, open-minded and strong personality characteristics of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. Different from many painters who show Xinjiang characters, his paintings of people's customs are more reserved in both gestures and expressions. This kind of reserve makes the painting surpass the regional features and curious and interesting humanistic background on the surface of Xinjiang minority customs painting, and penetrate into the essence of China traditional culture, thus gaining an aesthetic atmosphere of "Great China". There are both Xinjiang and not entirely Xinjiang; All belong to "China", not entirely to "China". This approach not only avoids the lack of artistic expression, but also contains the core of China traditional culture. It is not easy to find a new way and start a family of your own. It has attracted the attention of China art circles and is known as one of the "representatives of China ink figure painters with western customs".
In the form of creation, Yu Yuntao's Xinjiang figure painting embodies two styles: "rigorous and heavy theme creation and casual freehand sketch". If the theme creation of his figure painting presents the audience with a sense of solemnity and eternity of historical sites, then his freehand sketch is like a cup of good wine, full of fragrance and long meaning. The two completely different forms of pen and ink show completely different aesthetic forms, and the living environment and mental state of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are vividly shaped by Yun Tao's pen.
In the creation of figure painting, Yu Yuntao absorbed the skills and experience of masters such as Xu Beihong and Jiang, and borrowed the skills of repeated rendering of China's meticulous figure painting to create his own ink figure painting system, which is different from the traditional meticulous figure painting system. Taking the theme creation "Prairie Feast" as an example, from the artistic style of the whole work, he successfully integrated his own exploration and experiment in form on the basis of drawing lessons from Xu Beihong and Jiang's emphasis on light and shadow. In this work, he completely canceled the lines that represent the most typical features of China's art. He said: "China culture is essentially freehand brushwork, and lines are abstract generalizations of objects and images, which is the best embodiment of freehand brushwork. Realism and freehand brushwork are relative. To achieve true realism, only the most abstract China schema of lines can be eliminated. " The highest achievement of China's painting and calligraphy is embodied in the pursuit of verve and artistic conception. Artistic conception and verve, as the soul of Chinese painting, are better than realism in freehand brushwork. In addition to his rigorous and serious realistic style, Yu Yuntao's figure painting has also made great achievements. For example, in "Qingquan", the author is good at capturing the details of the daily life of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, and implicitly expressing the instantaneous demeanor, psychology and expression of the characters with concise pen and ink. His portrayal of female images is also unique. The images of Xinjiang minority girls in his works are all traditional weak women in China.
Shyness and femininity are also the national characteristics of Xinjiang ethnic minorities with high noses and deep eye sockets. From the movements, expressions and demeanor of the characters, to the environment and costumes of the characters, and then to the temperament and spiritual connotation of the characters, they are deeply branded with Xinjiang. Liu Xilin, a famous art critic, said that Huangzhou has a strong "Xinjiang complex", and Xinjiang is the source of his creation and an eternal dream in his heart. Without Xinjiang, there would be no Huangzhou. Yu Yuntao's artistic achievement stems from his living in Xinjiang, a fertile land rich in artistic creation resources. He loves Xinjiang, the Corps and the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. He sketched in southern Xinjiang several times a year. Decades of sketching practice not only exercised his ability to observe and quickly capture the characteristics of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, but also turned his sketching into an elegant art form and a shocking art form. He said, "When I went to southern Xinjiang to sketch, the biggest gain was not how much my sketching skills improved, let alone how many useful creative materials I collected, but here, I felt a strong shock from my heart." "I admire their tenacious living conditions in a sinister environment. I sincerely painted portraits for them: young men who can compete with bodybuilders, shy and pure girls who are affectionate, and the world can't hide their kindness.

16 years old is the age when people sing their dreams. In 1960s, Yu Yuntao, a middle school student aged 0/6 in Tianjin/Kloc, resolutely shouldered his backpack with the sound of gongs and drums, left his parents and siblings, and went to the northwest border of the motherland with his classmates to join the Xinjiang Construction Corps.
Shihezi, a small town in northern Xinjiang, is no longer a famous green cultural city. Many young intellectuals from Shanghai, Tianjin and the whole country have gathered together to resist the scorching sun and snow. They have just developed roads and built buildings in Shihezi Town. Yu Yuntao is a tough guy in Tianjin who has lived here for more than 30 years. He grew up fighting against the desert and building the frontier. The hard environment tempered his indomitable will. Looking back on that year, he said, "I didn't disgrace our Tianjin people!" " "
Yu Yuntao loved painting and calligraphy when he was young. At that time, he was an active and naughty child, so he was often scolded by his father. But when he saw the picture, his family found him very quiet. He often copied from left to right, painted from west to east, and even silently painted the teacher's portrait on the blackboard during recess. In the cheers of his classmates, he painted the teacher vividly. When the bell rang, the students hurried back to their seats. Only Yun Tao hastily wiped off the portrait in front of the blackboard. When a teacher sees a portrait, he often whispers, "It's very similar. Wipe it off quickly! " Yun Tao has such a gift. /kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, he had more brushes and paints in his backpack than others.
For more than 30 years, no matter how bad the environment is and how hard life is, he never put down his brush, exercised his artistic skills and recorded the lives of soldiers in the Corps. His brush inspires his comrades-in-arms and brings joy and artistic enjoyment to his comrades-in-arms in hard life.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, he was sent to the Chinese Painting Department of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Northeast China for further study. In a big city like Shenyang, he doesn't watch TV, movies or wander in the streets. He sits in the studio reading and drawing every day. After finishing his studies, he returned to Shihezi.
In the late 1980s, Nie Bichu, the former mayor of Tianjin, and his party went to Shihezi City, Xinjiang to express their condolences to the soldiers of Tianjin Corps. Yu Yuntao spoke at the conference. After the meeting, he told the city leaders that his greatest wish was to go back to Tianjin to hold an exhibition and report to the people of Tianjin. The city leaders fully supported his idea. 199 1 year, Yu Yuntao's art exhibition was exhibited in the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The exhibition was a great success, and everyone unanimously affirmed his dedication to the frontier and the artistic level and achievements embodied in his paintings.
Yu Yuntao dedicated himself to the frontier and to the people of all ethnic groups in the frontier. Now he is the director of China Artists Association, the chairman of Corps Artists Association and a famous painter in China. He is a literary fighter of the Corps, and the people of Tianjin are proud of him.
