Zhang Kehua's Social Evaluation

Painting: Exquisite appearance and powerful soul.

Most of Zhang Kehua's paintings are four-legged flowers and birds. When it comes to flowers and birds, people who don't know how to do it will think of Chinese painting sketches. The flowers there are just buds, Xia Chan in spring, and the autumn rain falls into the English, which is simple and simple. Look at the shallow water in the pool, the sky and the clouds at a glance. Although it is more interesting, it is not enough (everyone's excellent sketch is another matter). On the other hand, flowers and birds in Ke Hua can't be viewed by sketches. Not only the composition and layout are complicated and elegant, but also the implication and realm are broader and far-reaching, with rich themes and changeable techniques. In short, the appearance is exquisite and the spirit is magnificent.

Ke Hua's flowers and birds are unique. For painting (including other kinds of artistic creation), the most taboo is to follow the footsteps of others and follow the trend. Whoever learns from them will fall into other people's routines and cannot extricate themselves. Many people have been studying hard for many years but can't find their own style. Personality is the life of art, and art without personality is lifeless. Even if it looks like it, it is a mediocre work, painting a fish dead and a tree dead; Handan toddler, picking people's teeth, are much ado about nothing. Ke Hua's paintings, regardless of technique, composition, brushwork and color, are hard to see others.

There is no doubt that at the beginning of studying painting in Ke Hua, there must be more than one teacher. Only when Ke Hua learned a certain degree can he realize his statutes, so that the scale of flowers and birds is both vivid and meaningful, and its meaning and context permeate the back of the paper, and the spirit overflows the paper, giving people a profound feeling and richness. His works, such as Spring Blossoms, Deep Shade and Fun of the Lotus Pond, are both meticulous and freehand, with appropriate colors and dense layout. Their originality and skill are convincing. When both formal similarity and spiritual similarity must be abandoned, Ke Hua decisively chose the latter, sculpting with God and expressing emotion with God, which shows that he has gained the essence of freehand brushwork. Youlong's Ink Dance, Happy Ever After, Spring Breeze, etc. , are slightly heavier pens, one bird, one fish, vivid and realistic. The composition and setting of the above works are simple and decent, but simple and not simple, which is appreciated by viewers, unlike paper cutting. Behind the simplicity is a rich sense of interest and painting. At first glance, it is clear and transparent, and fine products emerge one after another.

To complicate simple things, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is a fool's move; It is a wise man's behavior to deal with complex things concisely. Take one as ten, simplify the complex, simplify the complex, and hide the big pattern in the scale. As the saying goes, "the sky is vast, just take a ladle; Qian Shan is full of water, only one stone is taken. See the sea in a gourd ladle and the mountain in a stone. This is an abstract skill.

It is difficult to simply define each flower-and-bird painting as "meticulous painting" or "freehand brushwork". There are often meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork in meticulous brushwork, and the two techniques are used in parallel, complementing each other and bringing out the best in each other, with only a slight emphasis.

The scale of condensation is huge, simple and rich, clear and profound. This is a master's skill, not everyone can do it.

Book: iron pen passion, plum bone and bamboo wind

Zhang Kehua's calligraphy is mainly based on calligraphy and calligraphy, and is also a seal script. In the process of studying books, Ke Hua studied from Wang Xizhi, Zhao Mengfu, Huang Tingjian and modern Xiong Boqi successively. Before an artist becomes famous, it is not the same as a craftsman becoming famous. Craftsmen learn a skill, follow the rules, and dare not cross the line. Even if he learns perfectly, he can only be called "so-and-so" or "so-and-so second child" at most. These "tall feet" and "two" are just craftsmen, not artists. It's not intoxicating to say "breaking into the door" after drinking. It's actually a way of learning and an artist's way. In the early stage, the artist only learned the essence of the teacher, combined with his own potential and aesthetic taste, and realized the "artistic way" is enough. The rest is to practice your own way behind closed doors. The folk saying "the master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual" also means this. Calligraphy (including all arts) is quite similar to the art of war, that is, there is a big law without a fixed law, and there are principles without detailed rules. If there are "fixed methods" and "detailed rules", art will not become art, but a "workpiece" made according to standards.

"Ancient scholars must have teachers" and "disciples need not be inferior to teachers" (Han Changli). Aspiring people learn from teachers, the goal is not to learn "in place", but ultimately "offside". Only "offside" can have its own world. Being a disciple is like a seed growing into a tree, a moth breaking its cocoon and a pupa turning into a butterfly. It is metamorphosis, complete metamorphosis, feathering and dazzling appearance. It's not that wheat turns from green to yellow and fruit from green to red, it's the change of color and the accumulation of quantity, not the qualitative change and sublimation. Ke Hua stood on her own two feet and stood out after winning everyone's praise.

Ke Hua's running script is broad and passionate, sharp and vigorous, elegant and handsome; Pay attention to rules and regulations, but don't stick to rules and regulations, bold and unrestrained, and there is no suspicion of whitewashing. Appreciate Ke Hua's calligraphy, such as watching waterfalls in the mountains, turbulent flow in the deep valleys, voluminous, rolling, stormy, devastating, thousands of miles away. Ke Hua's running script has such a state, not only because of his diligence and hard work, but also because of his military status. The passion in the book is actually a true feeling for the country. The ambition to join the army and the pride of many countries are condensed in pens and vented on paper, white and brilliant, and the ink is like a rainbow. The external causes of this book are clearly reflected in his works, such as "The Red River" and "The River Never Returning". Guan's works, such as Autumn Wind in the Battlefield, Jinge Iron Horse, Heroes' Sword Soul, and Songs of Hot Blood Heroes; Look at the Millennium river. The waves are empty, the waves are breaking and the shore is unstoppable. Ke Hua's another important running script work, Poems of Mao Zedong, is free, vigorous, meaningful, ornamental and lyrical. The great man's poems unconsciously entered his heart, and suddenly he saw a vast expanse of smoke and magnificent mountains and rivers.

A number of official calligraphy works, such as Benevolence and Filial Piety, Housekeeping, Integrity and Serving the Country, which have been published in many newspapers and included in many classics, can also illustrate the essence of Ke Hua's calligraphy: Xu Xiasheng is elegant, restrained, rich but not fat, with a good charm and looks beautiful. Zhang Kehua's seal script is also very pleasing to the eye. No matter what the pictographic meaning is, there is a powerful method, with a sharp pen and a faint sound of stone.

For books, basic skills are the necessary foundation, and spiritual breath is even more rare. The so-called "through the back of the paper" and "through the three points" roughly mean this, and Ke Hua must be well aware of this.

Text: Looking for beauty and remembering goodness, deep feelings penetrate the paper.

Zhang kehua is versatile. Besides his exquisite books and paintings, he is also a writer. Ke Hua is a Chinese documentary because of many years' work in military propaganda posts. First, news, communication and other news works are constantly seen in newspapers, and then they get their hands on reportage. They have also gained a lot over the years.

Being in the army and loving the army is not only because of duties, but also because of feelings. Ke Hua knew that the army was the cornerstone of national defense and the grass roots were the foundation of the army. He always attached great importance to the officers and men at the grass roots. Therefore, it is a text, always looking for truth, goodness and beauty among grass-roots officers and soldiers, and then concentrating on using a pen to express its performance, appearance and spirit. The military reportage works published successively by the People's Liberation Army Publishing House and the Yellow River Publishing House, such as Soul of Dai Yueying, Happy New Year in Li Man, Flying Constellation and Roaring in the Cloud, were co-authored by Ke Hua and another friend. It is said that there are dozens of heroes who are officers and men of the army, outstanding leading cadres of logistics equipment of our army, blue sky lofty sentiments soaring in the clouds, and ground officers and men sweating like rain at the airport; There are both military angels fighting against SARS and heroic soldiers fighting against death. These works are rigorous in structure, exquisite in tailoring, magnificent in momentum, fluent in writing and vivid in spirit. They show the noble ethics and selfless dedication of air force officers and soldiers from different angles and sides, which can be described as excellent works of literature and thought. In particular, the reportage Good Li Man New Year won the New Works Award of the People's Liberation Army and the Taishan Literature Award.

Throughout Ke Hua's literary works, I deeply feel quite similar to his paintings and books, that is, the artistic conception is broad, the weather is vigorous, and there is no sign of depression. As for the "best-selling works" such as "the pen follows the money", it will not be written with Ke Hua's pen. Apart from being a soldier, the fundamental reason is that Ke Hua is very clear: writing articles is a thousand years' work and cannot be taken lightly.

People: I feel guilty and I sincerely seek the truth.

The ancients said "writing is like a man" or "man is like his writing". Ke Hua's paintings, books and articles are all like people. What about Kehuaren? Born in Qilu, a land of etiquette, he was deeply influenced by traditional culture. He was smart and studious since he was a child. He was beautiful in Minhui and loved painting and calligraphy. When I was a teenager, I had no money to buy paper and ink. I often "practice writing" with branches on the ground; Also use a rag instead of a pen and dip it in water to "draw" on the slate. Later, when life was a little better, I used real pens and paper, but pens were the cheapest pens and paper was exercise books or discarded newspapers. Nevertheless, Ke Hua was quite satisfied, and he was glad to practice in the dark. Over time, I feel that my "wrist strength" and "pen strength" have greatly increased.

Ke Hua/Kloc joined the army at the age of 0/7, first as a projectionist, then as a film captain, cultural officer, instructor, deputy section chief, section chief and deputy section chief, and finally as a director and a teacher. Peasant disciples, with no background, work hard on their own. Ke Hua is diligent, dedicated and devoted to his duties, and he has done very well in any post. It is conceivable that the busyness of his work is his spare time of painting, writing and writing. If a person has a successful career, besides perseverance, talent is also indispensable. Many people are busy during the day and have to work overtime until late at night, but they still can't do their work well. Why? Lack of talent and ears. No matter how busy Ke Hua is, no matter how heavy the task is, he usually finishes it during the day, and enters the art world at night, or concentrates on pasting or creating. He is eager and happy. Ke Hua's talent is not only gifted, but also benefited from being diligent and studious, reading extensively, dabbling in politics, economy, history, philosophy and music, taking its essence and understanding its true meaning, which has been imperceptibly influenced for a long time, enlightening and nourishing the heart and benefiting endlessly.

Kehuaren is frank, modest and restrained, unassuming and gentle; Empathy and sense of justice, enthusiasm and frankness, kindness at home, taking helping others as the joy and pleasure of life. Whether he is a grass-roots official or later works in a leading organ, he always takes good care of his subordinates, and whenever someone encounters difficulties, he tries his best to help. He has a good reputation in books, paintings and literature, but he is willing to do his best to serve the officers and men of the army and the local people. Every time I go to the grass-roots level, Kehua takes Four Treasures of the Study with him. Grassroots officers and men want calligraphy and painting, and immediately spread out the paper to write. The company needs calligraphy and painting to decorate clubs and meeting rooms, and Ke Hua is more generous in pen and ink. In addition, Ke Hua often teaches skills and lectures to grass-roots painting and calligraphy lovers in the form of classes or seminars. During his stay in the provincial capital, Ke Hua often accompanied his book friends and painting friends on holidays and took to the streets to write paintings for the people. Ke Hua has long been a famous military painting and calligraphy artist. The Ministry of Culture priced his works at 3,600 yuan per square foot for paintings and 2,600 yuan per square foot for books. However, the officers and men of the Ke Hua Army or the local people draw books and paintings free of charge and take nothing. Ke Hua is happy to see the people who ask for calligraphy and painting queue up to become Jackie Chan, and to see the smiles when the people who ask for calligraphy and painting get what they want. Ke Hua encourages self-discipline through "honesty, wholehearted work and piety". The core of "three sincerity" and "three actions" is the word "truth". Sincerity, sincerity towards others, sincerity in calligraphy and painting. What is not hypocritical is really beautiful.
