The Influence Of Kollwitz’s Artistic Language On My Practice Of Ink Figure Painting

As a master of modern realist painting art,Kollwitz’s artistic language has few bright colors,but it is expressed in the context of pessimism,hardship and anger of realism by virtue of the black and white composition,lines and shapes bursting with vitality and power as a female painter,especially as a mother.She does not use a single form to summarize the phenomenon,sometimes tragedy,sometimes hero.However,no matter how gloomy and sad she is,she is never not revolutionary.She has not forgotten the possibility of revolution,which is probably the source of her vitality and sense of strength.The same is true of Chinese ink and wash figure painting.Whether there are such connotations as power and life in each brush and ink,we should not only focus on the local brush and ink techniques,but also look at the whole and the overall situation-the temperament of the artist,the background of the times,etc.This is like literati painting,where countless feelings are placed in the brush and ink.At this time,the brush and ink seems to be equal to zero and greater than infinite.The connotation of pen and ink can not be separated from the multiple blessings of consciousness and techniques.The artistic conception of the work,the painter’s feelings and the image of the work presented by the pen and ink,modeling,composition,etc.together form the artistic language with the artist’s artistic temperament,such as life and strength.
