Chapter 1340 Academy Painting
There are many forms of academy painting. Figures can be painted in two ways: meticulous brushwork and heavy color painting and line drawing. There are also two painting methods in flower and bird painting: meticulous brushwork and boneless painting. Landscape paintings are of the Four Kings School. In addition, Chinese and Western paintings The combined style of painting was also all the rage.
Perhaps because the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was a minority, he did not appreciate ink freehand painting. Therefore, among the "academic painting" genre, there was only one genre with higher aesthetic requirements.
Among the top ten Qing court painters of the Qing Dynasty recognized by later generations, in addition to Lang Shining's "White Falcon", there is also the "Flying Falcon" by Yu Zhiding, a master of line drawing, and Jiao Bingzhen, the figure of the "Western Style Painting School" "Hundred Sons Picture", there are Leng Mei's "Nine Thoughts", Tang Dai who was called "the number one painter" by Kangxi, "The End of the Stream", Ding Guanpeng, who is known as the "Buddhist painter", "Amitabha", Xu Yang's "Spring Scene in Gusu", "Picture of a Medicine Master" by figure painter Yao Wenhan.
Except for the line-drawing figure painter Jin Tingbiao and the painter of flowers, birds, fish and insects, Yu Sheng, paintings by the top ten famous third-generation painters can be found here, and all of them are large paintings over four and a half feet tall.
Each painting contains a piece of paper like the one in "White Falcon Picture", which records the date, mortgagor, reason for borrowing money, guarantor, mortgage funds and other general information.
Judging from the name information of the mortgagor and the guarantor, the reasons for the mortgagor and the loan are various, but there are only three guarantors. It seems that these three people should be local connoisseurs in the capital of Shu. The kind that Yaowai Zuzu trusts more.
This also shows that these paintings came from a variety of sources, rather than from one or two people. This also shows in disguise that from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the outflow of paintings collected by the imperial government became almost the norm.
Except for "academy paintings", almost all the remaining paintings and calligraphy are also "special projects", which are the works of the first batch of calligraphers and painters of the Yangzhou School of Painting.
Wang Shishen, Huang Shen, Jin Nong, Gao Xiang, Li Wei, Zheng Xie, Li Fangying, Luo Pin, Bian Shoumin, Gao Fenghan, Yang Fa, Li Yi, Min Zhen, Hua Yan, Chen Zhuan, There are fifteen people in total and more than twenty axes in total.
In addition, there are two axes of Chen Chun, two axes of Xu Wei, three axes of Zhu Da and three axes of Shi Tao.
However, these ten-scroll paintings were all mixed up among the Yangzhou Painting School, and Zhou Zhi had no hope that they were authentic.
Because the people above are all the disciples and grandsons of these four, you can get eight or nine points of the essence by imitating them, which is extremely difficult to distinguish.
Zhou Zhi didn’t think this was Yaowai’s ancestor’s special hobby for freehand paintings. After all, the Yangzhou School of Painting had already gained some fame in the Republic of China, but he was more inclined to think it was his three tastes. The collector friends were the three people on the note who sent paintings in exchange for money.
The reason why I think so is because the remaining large box contains works by famous painters from the Republic of China.
Among them, the main proportion belongs to Qi Baishi, Chen Shizeng, Xu Beihong, Pan Tianshou, Lai Chusheng and others.
Most of these people also absorbed nutrients from the Yangzhou School of Painting, except for the founder Bai Yang, who actually became a "Great Freehand Collection Series" along the way.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, people flock together." Since there are the first two boxes of things here, these people can't help but appreciate them. Since they want to appreciate them, they can't help but leave something in exchange.
Another piece of evidence is that none of these works have been framed. They are all carefully folded original mirror cores, pressed into several piles in the box.
In addition to these, there are also a large number of calligraphy works, probably more than a hundred or so, which are also in the state of rice paper.
Zhou Zhi didn't recognize most of them, but the ones he knew shocked Zhou Zhi inexplicably.
There are many types of calligraphers in the Republic of China. There are many masters in politics, military, business, and literature.
Zhou Zhi found many "acquaintances" from this pile of "scripts".
Yu Youren, Zhang Shizhao, Shen Yinmo, Luo Zhenyu in the education sector...
Wang Ti, Huang Baowu, Ma Yifu in the cultural sector...
Zhang Jian, Huang Yanpei, Yu Jue, Wang Zhen in the business world...Tan Yankai, Liu Wenjie, Yan Xishan in the military world...
There are the most people in the political world, ranging from the old and quiet to the political leaders of the Republic of China. , including Zheng Xiaoxu, Kang Youwei, Xu Shichang, Chen Baochen, Zhao Erxun, Lu Runxiang, Ye Gongchuo, Xie Wuliang...
Wu Hufan, Zhao Xi, Huang Binhong, Zeng Xi, Wu Changshuo, He Weipu, Pu Ru...
This There were many people inside, and Zhou Zhi was very interested.
For example, Luo Zhenyu is a modern Chinese archaeologist, paleographer, epigrapher, Dunhuang scholar, bibliographer, collationist, agriculturist, and educator.
His ancient philology is almost half of Zhou Zhi's "ancestor".
There is also Dong Zuobin, born in Nanyang, a famous oracle bone expert and ancient historian.
In modern China, there were four masters who studied oracle bone inscriptions, including Luo Zhenyu, named Xuetang, Wang Guowei, named Guantang, Guo Moruo, named Dingtang, and Dong Zuobin, named Yantang, and they became the "four oracle bone inscriptions".
The oracle bone inscriptions research works they wrote are all must-reads for Zhou Zhi.
There are many people here who work in many fields and hold many positions. Reading through their works carefully, I can't help but sigh, these big guys are really awesome!
There are many happy things, such as the works of the so-called four major calligraphers of the Republic of China, Tan Yankai's regular script, Hu Hanmin's official script, Wu Zhihui's seal script, and Yu Youren's cursive script, all here.
Another example is Pu Xinshe, who together with Zhang Daqian is known as "Southern Zhang Beipu", and Wu Hufan is known as "Southern Wu Beipu". The calligraphy of the three people here also has their own.
Among all these things, the painter with the most works is Zhang Daqian.
Zhou Zhi now has a lot of things from Zhang Daqian. Xiao Qinglu has collected the "Picture of the Staff of Xian Yin", Da Qinglu has collected the "Picture of the Song Song", and there is also a "Picture of the Song" that Lin Wanqiu helped him get. "Dongguan Puxue Picture" and the "Jiujia Runge" I got on this business trip, there is a picture of it.
What Zhou Zhi longs for most is Zhang Daqian's splash-colored green and green works in his later years, but they are still not available here. In addition to calligraphy works, there are three "Qingcheng Mountain Pictures" imitating the style of Song and Yuan painters, three "Ladies in the Deep Courtyard", and two "Dunhuang Copy Pictures".
Counting the time, during the July 7th Incident in 1937, Zhang Daqian was trapped in BJ. He was detained by the Japanese army for insulting the Japanese army. He escaped half a year later in May of the following year, and then escaped alone and left Peiping. Arriving in Shanghai, at the end of 1938, he and his family returned to Shuzhong and lived in the Qing Palace on Qingcheng Mountain.
During this period, Zhang Daqian mainly copied the famous monuments of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and at the same time digested and absorbed what he had learned from Dunhuang. The Shangqing Palace coincided with the note in the first picture opened by Zhou Zhi.
Yaowaizu was the one who funded Feng Lanxuan’s 400 silver dollars in the Shangqing Palace. If Zhang Daqian was able to settle there, it might have been Yaowaizu’s arrangement.
Therefore, it is not surprising that so many works of Zhang Daqian from this period can be found here.
Looking at the three boxes full of things, Zhou Zhi murmured: "This is really exciting..."
More than thirty scrolls of "courtyard paintings" of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and more than twenty scrolls of Yangzhou School paintings, In addition, there are ten scrolls of paintings by Chen, Xu, and Zhu Shi that I don’t know are authentic, but at least they are imitations of the Yang School in the Qing Dynasty, and more than a hundred works by masters of the Republic of China. It can be enough to open a small museum anywhere.
