A Study On The Decoration Of Characters In Wang Meng's Landscape Painting

From the classic paintings that have survived till now,we can learn that the landscape figures have been constantly changing with the development of landscape paintings.China's landscape paintings are not merely depicting natural scenes and its figures are not merely as foil to landscape paintings,but they can point out the theme more directly,to make the picture more vivid and give the picture more implication.The Yuan Dynasty was a special period in the history of our country,when literati preferred to hide in the mountains to escape politics.The literati paintings became the mainstream of the times.The literati sometimes expressed their emotions or their own inner world.Wang Meng was the representative among them.By reading books and accessing online materials,I had a preliminary understanding of Wang Meng's artistic experiences,and I also had some exploration of the portrayal of his landscape paintings.Wang Meng's paintings focus on the expression of subjective interest,thoughts and emotions.He places the shape in a secondary position and he is willing to implant himself in the creations.The figures in the paintings should be the portrayal of the painter himself,which shows that the figures are very important and indispensable.Characteristic figures make Wang Meng's landscape paintings even better,and he became one of “the Four Masters of Yuan Dynasty”and even the most important artist in the Chinese painting history,who had a great influence on many artists in later generations.
