Aesthetic Feeling and Appreciation of Chinese Paintings —— Charm of Chinese Paintings

For ordinary people, whether they can appreciate a painting is often whether they can "understand". Their appreciation steps are: what is the painting? Does it look like it? What is the moral of the painter painting this image? If all the answers are answered, it is considered that you understand; If you can't answer them, you think you don't understand. This method is a traditional way of telling stories, and their appreciation of painting often relies too much on the description of "literature". Then, to appreciate Chinese painting in this way, generally speaking, meticulous and realistic works are easier to appreciate because they are concrete, true and easy to understand.

But if it is extensive. Freehand brushwork, especially ink freehand brushwork, is more difficult to appreciate, because it is not realistic, the image is not specific, you can't understand it, and you can't know what the author means. Of course, it is completely understandable for ordinary people to appreciate painting in this way, because it is easy to cause association and produce a sense of * * * when the portrait is clear. But we must understand that the quality of a painting is not measured by "like" or "unlike".

As far as art is concerned, we measure the quality of a painting, or we appreciate a painting. First of all, it is not whether you like it or not, but whether the theme of the painting, or some ideas, thoughts and emotions radiated from the painting, can firmly grasp the heartstrings of the viewer, give people full artistic and aesthetic enjoyment, and make people get some enlightenment and education from it. It should be said that this is the real purpose of all works of art. Image and non-image are only the means to achieve the purpose of a work, not the purpose itself. Therefore, image and non-image cannot be used as a standard to measure the quality of a work or appreciate it.

So, how did the painter come to see the painting? As far as Chinese painting is concerned, people in the industry generally look at the overall momentum of the picture. In terms of art, it is to appreciate its "verve" or "likeness" first, and then look at its pen and ink interest, composition, coloring, brushwork and so on. Finally, look at its shape, that is, whether it is like or "similar". This kind of appreciation method of "verve" by insiders certainly captures the essence, because "verve" is a high artistic aesthetic enjoyment, which is often the goal pursued by China painters.

Of course, it is not easy for ordinary people to experience a kind of "verve" from painting, which requires not only certain aesthetic ability and artistic accomplishment, but also certain basic knowledge of painting, especially a kind of "feeling" trained through painting. Therefore, to appreciate painting well, you must have all kinds of talents and artistic accomplishment.

However, it may be better understood if we appreciate the paintings from the following aspects. It has been suggested that the appreciation of art needs to go through three stages: aesthetic perception, aesthetic comprehension and aesthetic creation, so it is very reasonable to appreciate painting from these three aspects.

Aesthetic feeling requires us to intuitively perceive the aesthetic object, that is, the work of art itself. What can we perceive from the works? Whether the painting likes it or not, the brightness of colors, the fluency or clumsiness of lines, the meticulous or freehand expression, etc. In short, you should feel calmly by intuition. The second step is aesthetic comprehension on the basis of aesthetic perception. That is, on the basis of intuitive feeling, we should understand and think, and grasp the meaning, significance and connotation of the work. This understanding includes the understanding of the artistic forms and techniques of the works; Understanding of the content and theme of the work; And the understanding of the background and spirit of the times. This needs to fully mobilize our thinking ability.

We can think step by step: what should the content of the painting show? How is it expressed? Is the artistic means adopted appropriate? Can you fully express the theme? At the same time, through the picture of the work, guess the author's mind, whether it is warm praise or bitter irony; Through the atmosphere of the picture, we can experience the emotional appeal of the picture: deep or bold, optimistic or sad. We can also analyze the author's life experience, creative characteristics and background of the times according to the existing knowledge structure.

At this step, the aesthetic appreciation of art is not over, and there is also the stage of aesthetic creation. That is, after aesthetic perception and understanding, the works are recreated on the basis of aesthetics, and the association and development are enriched through their accumulated aesthetic experience, cultural knowledge and subjective experience, thus creating a new image. Only in this way can you really get enlightenment and education, and appreciation of painting can get real meaning. Young friends may wish to appreciate Chinese painting (or other paintings) in this way, and try it carefully to see if they can gain something.

Aesthetic Feeling and Appreciation of Chinese Painting —— Six Methods of Chinese Painting

To appreciate Chinese painting, we need to master the basic principle of China's ancient painting evaluation-"six methods".

"Six Laws" was put forward by Sheikh, a famous figure painter and art theorist who lived in Nanqi during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Sheikh is good at portraits and ladies. It is reported that he was trained with keen observation and profound dictation skills. However, his position in China's painting history mainly depends on his theoretical contribution. His Catalogue of Ancient Paintings initially laid a complete system of China's painting theory and put forward the artistic standard of painting-"six methods"

What are the contents of the "six laws"? Including vivid charm, bone technique, pictographic response, color matching, quotient position, transliteration and touch writing:

Vivid charm: What does charm mean? It is the spiritual temperament of the image, and is called "God" by Gu Kaizhi, a figure painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Vivid charm means that the spiritual temperament of the image is lively, vivid and prominent. In other words, "both form and spirit", the requirement of Chinese painting is not only to describe the shape of objects, but also to express their spirit. Characters have spirit, so do landscapes, flowers and birds. Only when you reach the spirit likeness can you be vivid. Many painters believe that works without charm cannot be called paintings. Of course, to express the vividness and authenticity of artistic images, that is, charm, can not be separated from the other five methods. Vivid charm is also inseparable from composition conception and pen and ink techniques, so it is a whole with the other five methods. The other five methods are also inseparable from vividness, otherwise it will become a purely technical thing without soul.

Bone brushwork: Bone brushwork originally refers to the appearance characteristics of characters, and later refers to the outline of all painted objects. Using a pen is a unique skill of Chinese painting. Generally speaking, the use of bone pen refers to how to properly describe the shape and texture of objects with pen and ink techniques. If the charm is vividly understood as "spirit", it can be simply understood as "form", which is closely related to Gu Kaizhi's "writing spirit with form". The description of "shape" is written with the help of pen and ink, but writing shape is only a means, and its purpose is to express "God".

Pictographic representation of an object: that is, when painting an object, the painter should conform to the original appearance of the object and express it by modeling. In other words, describing things should be based on certain objective things as a support, and we can't make arbitrary assumptions. That is, objectively reflect things and portray objects. But as an art, we can also choose, generalize, imagine and exaggerate on the premise of respecting objective things. This can be said to refer to a creative attitude and method.

Classification coloring: refers to the application of colors, that is, different colors are applied according to different objects, times and places. The use of color in Chinese painting is different from that in western painting. Chinese painting likes to use inherent colors, that is, the original colors of objects. Although some changes have been noticed, the changes are very small.

Place of business: refers to composition. Management refers to the design method of composition, which is to arrange the image according to the needs of the picture, that is, to reflect the overall effect of the work through the layout of the article. Chinese painting has always attached importance to composition, and should pay attention to the relationship between subject and object, echo, truth, simplicity, density, concealment and unevenness.

Pass, touch and write: it means sketching and copying. Sketching real people and copying ancient works is a learning method to learn nature and inherit tradition.

For painters and painters, the six methods are the highest requirements, which are generally difficult to fully achieve. It is enough to be good at one section each. We understand and master the six methods, so that we can understand the standards and emphases of ancient people's evaluation of painting, and thus look at the artistic heritage of the motherland objectively, and we will also get some enlightenment from it when we appreciate Chinese painting.
