Criticism of art

Zhang Shoutao believes that the embodiment and improvement of a painter's artistic level mainly depends on artistic accomplishment, not painting techniques. The improvement of artistic accomplishment is a long process, involving all aspects of Chinese and foreign cultures.

Zhang Shoutao's vision is broad and profound. As far as the content of his works is concerned, he is not limited to the classification of paintings. The materials are very extensive: landscapes, landscapes, figures, flowers and birds are all-encompassing, and all kinds of Chinese paintings are involved, and this kind of involvement is not superficial.

Zhang Shoutao's painting emphasizes "feeling and feeling". Feeling, not that you have a sudden inspiration to paint, but that every work should be integrated into your true nature. The so-called soul of Chinese painting lies in "having me". China's art "Everything is a guest" is the truth. Zhang Shoutao understood it and took it as his own creative principle. "Empathy" has another meaning, that is, painters have different feelings when making each painting. One of his paintings sold so well that the gallery owner asked him to draw another one, but Shoutao refused. Because he painted by feeling at that time, things have changed now, and there is no feeling at that time. He barely made it, only mediocre. No matter how much he paid, he didn't paint, and the gallery owner tried his best to get what he wanted. Shoutao's "scholar character" can be seen.

Zhang Shoutao's painting is against the popular theory of "the combination of Chinese and western". He always believes that although there are many similarities between the eastern and western artistic spirits, Chinese painting is completely different from the western connotation. Chinese painting is a mirror to see people's hearts, while western painting is a window to observe the outside world. Therefore, as a painter in China, we should take the middle as the "root" and the west as the "branch"; We can learn from the advantages of some western paintings to supplement them, but we can't lose our original national personality because of a large number of applications and become a "four unlike" that is neither Chinese nor western.

Zhang Shoutao believes that life is picturesque and we must take it seriously. A painter, living in society, must have a sense of social responsibility. The sense of responsibility is reflected in all aspects of life.

Zhang Shoutao once painted Ren's former residence. Ren Lao was the first leader to die after the founding of New China. Out of reverence for him, Zhang Shoutao went to the places where he lived, worked and fought many times to sketch. During the SARS period in 2003, he created a Chinese painting "Unforgettable Love in Spring", which showed the spirit of "selfless dedication, putting life and death at risk" of medical workers. At that time, Zhang Shoutao did not accept any "tasks", purely out of a sense of social responsibility.

As a treasure of traditional art in China, Chinese painting cherishes and inherits the past and faces the future with an open mind. We need treasure hunters and scavengers like Zhang Shoutao to go on step by step.
