Who are the famous painters in China?

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is a very important historical period in China's painting history. Gu Kaizhi, a painter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was a figure who had to be mentioned in this period.

Gu Kaizhi is not only a painter, but also a painting theorist and poet. He is knowledgeable and talented. He is good at poetry and calligraphy, especially at painting. Statues of workers, Buddha statues, animals, landscapes, etc. At that time, it was called "talent, painting and stupidity".

Gu Kaizhi was obsessed with art and literature, indifferent to fame and fortune, and achieved his highest artistic achievement with his "stupid and wise" philosophy. His thoughts of "wonderful thinking", "vivid with form" and "six methods" laid the foundation for the development of traditional painting in China.

2. Wang Wei

Wang Wei, a famous poet and painter in Tang Dynasty, was called "Mosha" and "Mosha Jushi".

Wang Wei is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting and music. He is famous for his poems, especially his five words, which praise the landscape and countryside. Together with Meng Haoran, he was called "Wang Meng" and "Shi Fo".

Wang Wei is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also excellent in painting. His profound artistic accomplishment, love for nature and long-term experience of living in the mountains make him have a keen, unique and nuanced feeling for the beauty of nature. Therefore, the landscape scenery in his works is particularly full of charm, often slightly exaggerated, showing a deep and long artistic conception, which is intriguing. Later people called him "the ancestor of Nanzong landscape painting".

3. Hao Jing

Hao Jing, a painter of the Five Dynasties Back Beam. The word Haoran,No. Hong Guzi.

He lived in seclusion in Taihang Mountain all the year round because he avoided the war. Broaden the history of classics and be good at writing articles. He is good at painting landscapes, learning from Zhang Kun, absorbing the majestic wind of northern landscapes, and painting "splash ink with a pen, the water is light and the ink is clear", showing a profound and magnificent momentum.

Hao Jing is good at creating autumn and winter scenery, including Kuang Lu Tu, Qiu Shan Lou Guan Tu, Qiu Shan Ai Rui Tu, autumn scenery Fisherman Tu, Qiu Shan Xiao Miao Tu, and Chushan Autumn Night Tu.

Hao Jing not only created northern landscape painting with equal emphasis on pen and ink, but also was honored as "the ancestor of northern landscape painting school" by later generations. He also left a famous landscape painting theory "Notes on brushwork" for later generations. Under the guise of meeting an old man in Shenzhen Mountain, he asked and answered each other, and put forward the so-called "six essentials" of painting landscapes with qi, rhyme, thought, scenery and pen and ink, which is a classic in ancient landscape painting theory.

4. Li Tang

Li Tang, a painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, has a simple style. At the beginning, he sold paintings for a living, and Zhao Jishi of Song Huizong entered the Painting Academy.

Li Tang is good at landscape painting and figure painting. Hao Jing and Fan Kuan, who changed their methods, started the flourishing Southern Song Dynasty ink painting school. In his later years, from complexity to simplicity, he made a "big axe" with a pen. The stone he painted is hard and has a strong three-dimensional sense, and the water he painted is particularly powerful, which makes him feel surging. Existing works include Wan He Song Feng, Jiao Zi Tu, Echoes of Qing Xi, Yangtze River Temple, Cai Wei, Song Feng in the Rock Temple, etc.

The picture of picking Wei focuses on these two ancient figures who would rather die than surrender. Tang Li used this historical story to praise those who remained upright and condemned the acts of surrender and rebellion. At that time, when facing Xu Jin, the Southern Song Dynasty was "satirizing the present through the past" with good intentions.

Li Tang's creation is a perfect example of the combination of indulgence and moderation. Who would have thought that Li Tang was still setting up a stall in Hangzhou at the age of 80? Anyone can imagine that his heart must be full of contradictions, but the turmoil of life has not affected the painter's requirements for artistic quality. His works are exquisite, magnificent and magnificent, but even though he is full of enthusiasm, he insists on rationality.

5. Zhao Mengfu

Zhao Mengfu was born in Song Xue Road. He is a grandson and a direct descendant of Zhao, the king of Qin.

Zhao Mengfu's most important contribution to China's art is one word-elegance. Reading Zhao Mengfu's works means tasting a cup of fragrant tea, listening to a piece of silk and bamboo, and enjoying a kind of peace of mind. Zhao Mengfu's influence is enormous. After him, the South's Junxiu culture gradually became the mainstream of China painters.

Amin Wang Shizhen once said: "Scholars painted from Dongpo to Song Xue." This sentence basically objectively reveals Zhao Mengfu's position in the history of China painting. Whether studying the history of China painting or China literati painting, Zhao Mengfu is an unavoidable key figure.

If the interest of Tang and Song painting lies in creating a literary environment, then Zhao Mengfu played a bridge role in it. If the literati painting movement before the Yuan Dynasty was mainly manifested in the preparation of public opinion, and the literati painting movement after the Yuan Dynasty gradually replaced the traditional painting with its successful practice and became the mainstream of painting, then Zhao Mengfu is still the giant who triggered this change.
