Chinese Painting Characters,Realistic Writing, But Also To Write The Heart

Jiang Zhaohe is a symbol of Chinese modern ink figure paintings in twentieth Century.He plays an important role in Chinese painting.Meanwhile,he is also a famous modern art educator in China and the promoter the Xu Beihong painting system,as well as the important representative of modern ink painting realism system.He integrated the traditional skills and characteristics of Chinese ink with the western scientific modeling means,which is more ingenious and natural.In artistic creation,the word "painting realistically",is used to refer to the concept of painting,sculpture,literature,drama and other means of expression.As far as painting art is concerned,it refers to reproduce the observed objects faithfully on the paper and really reappear the shapes of the objective object,which we called painting realistically.In the works of art,expressing the state of mind often refers to describe the inner world of people.In the art of painting,especially the figure paintings,the painters emphasized the artistic feeling of inner spiritual world of characters through the real portrayal of the external features of the objective characters and the artist’s own interpretation of the object’s occupation,personality,habit and so on.The external inner spirits of the characters is expressed from conveying the spirit of the characters.Painting realistically to painting in heart,is the highest level that the figure painters has always been pursuing.Compared with skills and characteristics of Chinese traditional ink painting and western scientific modeling system,Mr.Jiang Zhaohe has constructed a more suitable techniques with the characteristics of China painting to express the external modeling and inner spirits,which also riches the expressive force of Chinese ink painting through long-term practice and experience.Based on the rigorous modeling,it can deeplyexpress the inner spiritual world of objective characters.Meanwhile,it also reaches to a higher artistic level of internal "painting in heart" based on the external "painting realistically",this kind of paintings will not only have more artistic appeal,but also is the target pursued and explored by the Chinese figure painter who always concerns and commits to realistic theme.In the works of Mr.Jiang Zhaohe,this paper selects "The Refugee Diagram".It is one of the most representative works,which shows his profound traditional and skillful painting techniques.Moreover,it also shows his subtle grasp of the distinctive personal characters,as well as the feelings of compassion on the nation and family aroused when he is one of the suffering people.At the same time,"The Refugee Diagram" focused and highly reflected the highest level of his ink figure painting.On the basis of respecting the strict accuracy of the objective characters,it also firmly grasps the language peculiar characteristic of Chinese painting.Though the realistic expressive skills by depicting the external features,the inner spiritual world of a character can be conveyed.It can be seen in the realistic expressive skills that painting in heart for people have reached to a new height in realism on the realistic themes of Chinese characters painting.By rereading Jiang Zhaohe’s "The Refugee Diagram",this paper analyzed a lot from its creating background,implication of the works,the key thought of the painting and the art language features,which includes the creating method,character modeling,painting language,composition form.Meanwhile,it also combines and thinks it,so as to discuss why Chinese painting needs to painting realistically and in heart.What inspiration and reference can be aroused in painting through the "The Refugee Diagram" have also been discussed:Firstly,in accordance to the creating characteristics of "The Refugee Diagram",Mr.Jiang Zhaohe had a range of themes at first and then came back to the real life to find the models suitable for work’s expression.Through the sketch of the characters,a vivid individual character and a living individual character image can be drawn.However,he did not deliberately beautify the characters in the process of sketching and converting to creation.There is no facial make-up and labelled personage.Instead,he expressed them only in artistic expression,which makes people feel that the characters in the works came from the reality.The creation of the theme is popular now in fact.However,it is difficult to reach the height and artistic level like "The Refugee Diagram".Even Jiang Zhaohe,he also cannot reach it when he was in his stable art period(after 1949).Although there are a lot of good works coming out,they are difficult to go beyond the paintings like "The Refugee Diagram".Why? This problem is worth thinking,which will also have great inspiration and help to the creation of contemporary Chinese figure painters.Secondly,the figures modeling of Jiang Zhaohe’s "The Refugee Diagram" ia quite different from the realistic techniques of personage by beautifying and standardization foe the reason that it paints in depth to the specific image and expression of the specific characters,such as "Zhang three","Li four",etc.This is Jiang Zhaohe’s unique understanding of the figure,which is quite different from others and only belongs to himself.It also represents Mr Jiang Zhaohe’s own attitude towards life and observation.His understanding of the painting realistically not only can accurately reproduce the objective object,but also express the hearts of the objective people,which comes to paint in heart based on painting realistically.Therefore,this kind of art will be more long-term vitality.Thirdly,his language feature is casual,bitter,sympathy,with writing and exquisite characterization and performance of screen characters.All of them cannot do without humanistic care and the exploration of human nature,which not be reached only by possessing realistic modeling ability.It must be the exploration and the feeling of a painter for individual life.Then,it will be realized from the external character description to the characters’ psychological movement.This kind of figure painting is true and touching,and the picture it conveys will have artistic appeals.The last but not the least,in the construction of "The Refugee Diagram" in long scroll,it can bring some thoughts to the creation by analyzing the sense of rhythm and fragmentary in the picture.Fragmentary function contained in the independent personal image and group image is unity in the continuity of the long scroll.Meanwhile,fragments of the picture can play roles in forming a connecting link between the preceding and the following and developing the next plots,so as to make the picture more rhythmic and with strong emotion.Life is the source of artistic creation.In Jiang Zhaohe’s work,there is no deliberately beautification for a character.Based on realistic figures,it pays more attention to the character’s inner portrayal,and their real emotional.Therefore,the characters in his works are realistic and painted in the heart."Painting in the heart" means to describe the distinctive features and individuality of a character,as well as thesimplicity and sincerity in life.It also contains the position and attitude of the creation only belonging to him.The most true,simplest and most direct embodiment of human nature is also the most powerful force to attract people in the artistic creation.It’s the most valuable thing for artists to create their works when they stick to their own creative positions and grasp their own attitudes.Meanwhile,it also should be the artistic ideals and principles for each painter.
