The collection value of traditional Chinese flower and bird paintings

Traditional Chinese flower and bird paintings are both a highly self-conscious art and a highly selfless art. Being self-conscious and self-forgetting may seem contradictory, but in fact they are unified with each other. Only by consciously pursuing this unique realm can we truly carry forward this ever-popular art. The most obvious feature of freehand painting in traditional Chinese flower and bird painting is the emphasis on the momentum of "writing" painting. It not only requires simple painting, but also pays attention to composition and layout. The charm must also be vivid. It is extremely difficult to use the movement of pen and ink to express the artistic conception. The skill of writing can be seen in every stroke, and it must be done in one go. Freehand brushwork depicts nature's flora and fauna, embodying the painter's emotions and spatial imagination. The so-called poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seals should be expressed on the screen at the same time, smoothly and without craftsmanship. Therefore, ancient people often used plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums as the basis of enlightenment paintings. They used this painting technique to express people's moral character, sentiment, mind, and state of mind, and to symbolize the Chinese people's various philosophies on life in the world. Get feelings from the observation of natural life, feel emotions when you touch the scene, be moved by emotions, form images by concentrating your mind, and feel your heart from your heart. The artistic concepts and artistic forms of many modern flower-and-bird painters are endowed with certain era significance. Especially after Bai Yang, Xu Qingteng, Bada, Shi Tao, Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics, Zhao Zhiqian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Pan Tianshou and others, Chen Dayu used his extraordinary talent to His hard work and hard work have made valuable contributions to the development of Chinese freehand flower-and-bird paintings, and he has become a unique work in the art garden, which has gradually increased the appreciation potential of flower-and-bird paintings.

? Pen and ink should follow the times? It is also a typical feature of traditional Chinese flower and bird painting; the concept of flower and bird painting takes poetry, calligraphy, painting, seal and breath as a whole, emphasizing the momentum, layout, pen and ink of freehand flower and bird painting , color, and intensity, raising it to another level. Everyone in this type of calligraphy and painting is proficient in calligraphy and seal cutting. They also use calligraphy, epigraphy, pen and ink, roughness, and boldness as their basic skills, and use mood, light brushwork, dry brushwork, and dry brushwork as their basic skills. The pen is used as the keynote. Following the composition principles of traditional flower-and-bird painting, the intensity of pen and ink is used as the method to form a distinctive style with five colors of ink, bold conception, simple traces and profound meaning, blending of ink and color, and exaggeration and clumsiness. It exaggerates real life and expresses the times, so it gives people a spiritual shock. Therefore, from all aspects, the Chinese painting of flowers and birds has great collection value. It is a typical representative of Chinese painting and a brilliant flower that will always bloom in the category of Chinese painting.

With the improvement of citizens’ living standards and art appreciation ability, it is now common for many families to hang a few of their favorite paintings and calligraphy works on the walls after renovating their new homes. The calligraphy and painting market is becoming increasingly prosperous and showing great vitality.

Little do they know that treating people to dinner is just a meal, and the artistic value of calligraphy and painting does not last overnight. In this regard, the concepts of southerners are worthy of our study and reference. They have a strong awareness of art investment and are more concerned about the aesthetic and spiritual value of the art itself, and the art market is more prosperous.

How to collect Chinese paintings

The collection of Chinese paintings has had the same name since ancient times. Jin Shaocheng, a modern painter, pointed out in the book "Lectures on Painting" that people are valued in paintings since ancient times. There are paintings by painters and paintings by famous people. The so-called celebrity paintings are not those who are famous because of their paintings. If a person has special knowledge, special integrity, special character, special skills, and special status, and has been respected by others, once he expresses his artistic conception, he can paint it at will without asking for work, and his style will be revealed on the paper. People are admired and respected for their knowledge, integrity, character, skills, status, etc., and their paintings are especially treasured. ?It can be seen that when collecting paintings and calligraphy, one is the works of famous people, and the other is the works of famous artists.

The so-called works of celebrities refer to those famous politicians, scholars, drama artists, film and television stars, celebrities, etc. Although their elegant works have no skill or artistic value (those who have considerable calligraphy and painting skills are another matter), their works have certain collection value due to their social status and social influence.

The so-called works of famous calligraphers refer to those famous calligraphers and painters who have achieved great achievements in the field of calligraphy and painting and have a relatively large influence in the field of calligraphy and painting art. Specifically, in today's Chinese painting world, what is a famous person? We still have certain quantitative standards for this. First, we look at what position the painter occupies in today's Chinese painting world. In terms of teaching and research institutions, there are eight major art schools, and many local universities also have art academies, such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the China Academy of Art, etc. If a painter is the leader among them, then he must be a famous artist; in terms of organizational system, the country There is the Chinese Artists Association, which has several presidents, vice-presidents, and directors. The relevant national institution is the China National Academy of Painting, which has many professional painters. Each province also has an artists association, which has a number of chairmen, vice-chairmen, and directors. Each province also has a Chinese painting academy (painting academy), which has a number of professional painters. Judging from the current collection trends, the so-called famous people are mainly concentrated in the above-mentioned people. Of course, there are not no celebrities in society, but it is very difficult for them to break out when surrounded by this group of people.

Generally speaking, the greater the fame of a calligrapher and painter, the higher the level of his works and the greater the collection value. However, it would be a bit one-sided if calligraphy and painting collectors only use "famous or unknown" as the only criterion for collecting paintings and calligraphy. It is true that the works of famous artists (whether they are his wishful works or his social works) have high collection value because of their skill and level, but we should not blindly worship them and think that everyone's works are perfect. of. Some of our works are satisfactory, some are social works, and some are failures. Just like us who write articles, some articles are well written, some articles are average, and some articles are not well written. Just because it is written by a famous person does not mean that every article is a good article. There is a huge difference between the level of everyone's successful works and their failed works. As for the works (early) and later works of famous masters during their studies, if they are of average quality and have poor skills and physical strength, although it cannot be said that they have no collection value, they cannot be regarded as collections. It is a very collectible work. When appreciating calligraphy and painting, some people only focus on the famous ones. Those who are unknown will be picky in every possible way, and their advantages can also be criticized as shortcomings; Okay, only everyone dares to do this. Therefore, when appreciating calligraphy and painting, sometimes we have to break the frame of "famous and unknown" and focus on the level of the calligraphy and painting works themselves. For example, although some calligraphy and painting works are not by famous artists, they are profound in skill, or innovative in brush and ink techniques, and have unique characteristics. Such unknown works also have certain collection value. There are also some calligraphy and painting authors who are completely at the level of famous artists in terms of their works. However, due to the limitations of time, place, people and other conditions, or because of the limitations of their living environment, they have never had the opportunity to become famous. For them, The works also have high collection value. For example, some calligraphers and painters have worked hard in the art field of calligraphy and painting all their lives and have very high artistic attainments. However, they were unknown during their lifetimes. However, they were discovered after their death and were recognized by the calligraphy, painting and collection circles.

As for whether a painter is famous or not, we should also look at it from a developmental perspective. Famous artists also go through the process of going from unknown to famous, and then to becoming famous.

Some young and middle-aged calligraphers and painters with relatively high standards are unknown today, but they may not be unknown tomorrow; they were unknown when they were young, but they may not be unknown when they are old; they were unknown during their lifetime, but they may not be unrecognized after their death. The fame of calligraphers and painters depends on, first, the level of calligraphy and painting; second, it depends on the transaction volume at auctions; third, it depends on the publicity of the media; fourth, it depends on the amount of the works released to the society (including calligraphy and painting prints and works). (Issue); fifth, it depends on the character, cultivation and cultural quality of calligraphers and painters. In addition, the region, occupation and position held by calligraphers and painters, as well as their social activity energy, etc., also play a very important role.

Generally speaking, the reputation of calligraphers and painters is directly proportional to the level of their works, but there are also special cases; that is, as their fame increases, the level of their works is average or even worse than in the past. This is true. The reason is that as the fame increases, or there are more social activities, less effort is spent on painting, and the level of painting naturally drops; or because there are more people asking for paintings, shoddy work is used to deal with others, all of which will cause the level of painting to drop as the fame increases. . Therefore, the fame of calligraphers and painters is not the only criterion for measuring the collection value of their works.

In the past ten years, due to the development of the domestic economy, the middle class has continued to increase, and the auction market has become more and more popular. The prices of many "famous" works have been pushed to higher positions. It can often cost tens of thousands of yuan per square foot or more (although in terms of dynamics, these prices may be low), but for those who have just entered the market, this is high, and the price is not acceptable to the general public. Therefore, I recommend that general collectors and investors take "potential celebrities" as collection objects. How to select "potential celebrities"? Here I will introduce a simple method: first, in terms of scope, select professional teachers from institutions above the Provincial Artists Association and the eight major art academies as the target; second, in terms of region, Select traditional areas with deep cultural heritage and high painting standards, especially representative areas, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Tianjin and other places; thirdly, in terms of works, select Do not choose works that follow the trend if they have unique artistic characteristics, profound ideological connotations, and the artist's thoughts and feelings. For example, now in Guangdong Province, Li Xiongcai's landscape paintings are selling well, and many people follow suit and imitate Li Xiongcai's painting methods. No matter how good those people are at painting, they can at most only be painters at street stalls, and they will not be able to achieve anything. Fourth, in terms of age, choose a painter over forty years old, and the painter's reputation has gradually emerged. . For example, in Guangdong, suppose we decide that the chairman of the Provincial Artists Association will retire due to age, then who will be the successor? This person should generally have achieved certain achievements and work in the Provincial Artists Association, the Academy of Fine Arts or the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. people. Assuming you made the right choice, after he becomes the chairman of the Provincial Artists Association (and Guangdong represents South China, he usually ends up with the position of vice president of the national Artists Association), the price may be doubled by then.
