A Grand Tour of Chinese-Style Landscape Art, Embarking on a Journey of Chinese Aesthetics
The 'Chinese-Style Landscape' exhibition at the China Art Palace explores the artistic paths of Lin Fengmian and Wu Guanzhong through horizontal comparisons between Chinese and Western cultures, vertical tug-of-wars between ancient and modern ink paintings, and the relationship between the external form and internal essence of art.
From the perspectives of nationality, era, and individuality, the exhibition delves into the ontology of art from the outside in. The artists, with their highly personalized explorations, define and expand the essence and connotations of art, thereby realizing the social value of art for people.
Both artists, with their integrated knowledge of Chinese and Western cultures, have shaped a new visage for ink painting, infusing the literati-led creation of traditional Chinese painting with the lively blood of folk art and elements of the times, pioneering a new course for the development of Chinese painting. This has enabled the diverse modern development of ink art, including abstract ink, new ink, and experimental ink.
To appreciate their depictions of Chinese-style landscapes is also to experience the landscapes of the era and the personal inner landscapes of the artists.
Lin Fengmian extensively studied various types of folk art and, through Chinese opera, shadow play, and paper cutting, reinterpreted Cubism's free handling of space and time, pioneering 'color ink painting'.
'I am Chinese, with Chinese roots and lineage, and naturally like to express my own things.' This has always been the underlying tone in Lin Fengmian's works.
Must-visit place in Shang Hai, you can watch famous movies, I like the idea
On the National Day of 2022, friends will come and be together. The field is too big, in addition to the Qingming Shanghetu, you can also enter the security guards, other parts feel much worse than other art museum exhibition halls. The exhibits are too sparse, and there is a slip of imitation, a little different, isn't it "Shanghai Art Museum" now? Several places on the first floor are messy, as if the place is reorganized, but there will be such a reorganization problem elsewhere. On the floor of the Qingming Shanghetu, there is a small bookstore, the lights are dim, and the waiter's attitude is very poor. I feel ashamed of such a exquisite building.
After 13 years, it was shocked by the Chinese National Pavilion again. The building means "the crown of the East, the prosperity of China", with the grain silos in the world, the Chinese cultural spirit and temperament of the rich people. As the national pavilion of the Shanghai 2010 Expo, it is natural to display some artworks. The most awesome is the multimedia version of Qingming Shanghetu, which magnified the original work 30 times, combined with the full effect of sound and photoelectricity, using 12 large-scale projection equipment, set up 8 wisdom points, divided into day and night, every 4 minutes for a day and night cycle. Show the charm of overseas treasure-level cultural relics.
This buikding was super unique and weird like i was so scared that the building was gonna fall 😭
The teacher explained in detail, great!
The experience is very good
