On Guo Xi's "Linquan Gaozhi" And The Creation Of Landscape Painting

Most theories of ancient Chinese Art were came from artists' experience.As we all known that only experience is the best teacher,the process of Chinese Art's creation is long and complicated.The Northern Song Dynasty was time of Confucianism and the Idealistic Philosophy,Guo Xi's theories about Chinese paintings were born in this time,and his son,Guo Si,concluded them into a book.In my research,i focused on Guo's aesthetic ideology and technical theories,and think,how to learn from predecessor and nature to make sure the world can match with the personal feelings and let this resonance express in production.The essay makes a comprehensive analysis of Guo Xi's view of landscape painting,and make with definition about what is true landscape for visit and live from choice of scenery to appreciation.The growth process of a landscape painter is nothing more than three processes:learn from your predecessors,learn from nature,and learn from your heart,so did Guo xi,and he formed his own creative ideas such as learning from different seniors,explore your own style,be full of sightseeing and ornamental in nature,list the scenery in the chest and draw on the picture to achieve better picture effect etc,these is exactly the main content of this article.This article also combines myself in copy:ing,sketching and thinking in the creation talk about the mood of creation,from practice to theory,from appreciation to criticism,from the state of mind to the result,finally return to the heart to analysis of the method of painting and painting in landscape painting.The main line of the thesis is the creation principle of landscape painting,and analyzes the observation method of sketching and various qualities of creation."Is it possible that my painting" is the picture that the painter painstakingly gives his own eyes to his heart and a complete cycle process,finally form the unity of subjective and objective view.When the work is finished,the picture will give the author a new feeling of strangeness.For the whole painting process,from copying to creation,from learning from predecessors to learning from nature and following to the heart,everything is not deliberate.In the process of painting creation,the final work of art is sincere and real,will make the painter produce doubt:"Is it painted by myself?",it is also an affirmation of learning from predecessors and all kinds of foreshadowing before creation,and a high state of creation.
