Artistic Evaluation of Lang Jingshan

Lang Jingshan's collective photography imitates Chinese painting, pays attention to artistic conception and imitates Chinese painting in form. Themes and interests are mostly taken from ancient paintings and poems, which is the unity of China's painting style and photography techniques. It has both personal artistic style and distinctive national characteristics. As Kennedy, president of the American Photographic Society, pointed out, Mr. Nianlang came from China, and he also studied Chinese painting, so he was the first person to apply the principles of Chinese painting to photography.

Lang Jingshan's artistic path and experience are similar to Zhang Daqian's, and both strive to be accepted by the world. It's just that Lang Jingshan is much luckier than Zhang without Zhang's meeting with top western artists, and has won many international awards. Zhang Daqian has been thinking hard about how to connect China's pen and ink with the world, so as to reach the peak of his life. Lang Jingshan, on the other hand, tried his best to create the taste of Chinese painting with cameras and photosensitive materials.

Lang Jingshan's art has been wandering outside the mainstream of western languages, and only the salon photography circle that advocates classical beauty and first-class has accepted him. Later, he won the honor because it coincided with the great environment of the rise of post-modernism in the west and the fashion of advocating China's philosophy and Confucianism in the 1960s and 1970s.

Some people think that Lang Jingshan blindly imitated and pieced together the images of the ancients, which has no artistic creation significance. Master Lang loved photography all his life, studied numerous photographic artistic creations, and brought the highlights into full play.

Range Rover on Lakes and Mountains is the representative work of Mr. Lang Jingshan. This photo is a huge collection of landscapes. It can be said that Master Lang skillfully used the composition of China landscape in his highlights, from the pavilion on the far right of the picture overlooking the mountains and clouds, to the close-up view of the grotesque trees, the lonely boat on the left, the distant village and the reflection of the lake. The beautiful scenery of this Chinese painting, just like the owner's life, is cheerful, quiet and peaceful. The last masterpiece of this master's life and the ending of Photography Collection are of great significance in history and photography art history.
