Pastoral Painter Wang Qishan's Art Research

Wang Hanshan(1924- 2000), formerly known as Shh cloud, since "pastoral Prime Minister", Hunan Shuangfeng native. Hunan Research Institute of culture and history was a member, Hunan painting and Calligraphy Institute distinguished painter. Early years studying at the Nanjing School of fine arts, Hangzhou national art school, where he studied under Gao Xishun, Pan Tianshou etc. the main flower and bird painting master. Emphasis on "two branch office, two points six points drawing, reading" art advocates, advocates "ink painting to give enough, color to give enough, give only component". Wang Hanshan's paintings advocating "heavy, clumsy, aesthetic laws," majestic atmosphere, not a vulgar, humor. Since the birth of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds is to inherit the traditional literati painting, traditional literati impressionistic flower and bird attention is the conception, send flowers to personality to ideal, expresses a subjective spirit, after thousands of years of evolution form the conception of stylized. In the new era of development, the conception of stylized largely hampered the development of flower and bird painting. After the founding of new China Qi Baishi, Pan Tianshou et al. The bird freehand inherit the tradition, carry forward, is famous in the world. In recent years due to the stylized fetter, coupled with no injection of new culture, resulting in the slow development of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds. Wang Hanshan, a weather beaten, through ups and downs pastoral painter, he in the face of family opposition, cast aside the world, the disappointments of life, he did not want to give up painting, during the cultural revolution because his father is the private school teacher, making them a family was branded as a rightist, but his heart is not to abandon the pursuit of art don't give up. I remember someone that wants to be a painter who must have poured boiling water flowers die perseverance. Wang Hanshan really had time to explore the painting is a 57 year old retired early after so many years, he put some thoughts all released, absorbing the traditional, trace to the source of life, dare to bring forth the new through the old, with clumsy thick simplicity of the lines sketched out a rich childhood flower and bird, with a sincere and honest picture of pastoral between infection with everyone reading he works, as Tao said, it should be with the contemporary ink. The works of Wang Hanshan, is not influenced by the western culture, purity, to pursue careers in China national aesthetic spirit of the modeling, composition, ink, color, means. In contrast to the aesthetic orientation of the current new literati painting delicate soft waste. Wang Hanshan is one of life's field painter, understanding of the nature of the painting, the sentiment of life than most people deep in the paintings on the ink can be reflected, outline a few pen naive innocence of form and the impact to express large ink and bright color of the hair at the time of the sentiment, to the deep feelings life, far-reaching implication. This paper focuses on Wang Hanshan's calligraphy and painting art is the Chinese traditional flower and bird freehand ink painting return, return to the traditional, return to their true inner world. This research is meaningful and valuable to promote the innovation of contemporary Chinese painting freehand brushwork of flowers and birds.
