If you want to talk about the story between celebrities and calligraphy and painting, director Feng Xiaogang, who sold the oil painting "One Thought" for 17 million yuan, must be on the list.
This "One Thought" was jointly completed by Feng Dao and Zeng Fanzhi, and its layers and colors are gorgeous enough to see the superb skills of the painter himself. However, the majority of netizens are full of doubts about how many strokes Feng Dao has "drawn", because the painting style without Zeng Fanzhi's participation is far from the style of "One Thought".
And those who have a foundation in painting know that just like 1,000 Hamlets out of 1,000 people, each person's understanding and depiction of the same thing is completely different, so even the presentation of the same still life is mixed with a strong personal style.
Therefore, the so-called "cooperation" may just be a fool. However, the effect of this "resource replacement" is still very good: one has been promoted, one has established a "human design", and the 17 million auctioned has also contributed to charity, and everyone involved in it is a profiteer.
These two paintings are Feng Dao's paintings that were ridiculed by netizens as "burning clouds" and "no lake" by Benfell Louise, Alberta, Canada. The level of these two paintings is only a "lover" at best, but if you think about it, Feng Dao has not "shown off" his paintings before, but because the oil paintings that have been auctioned for a sky-high price are too shocking.
And this kind of shock always needs a point of relief: as a hobby, Feng Xiaogang has no problem showing his works, but the works of "enthusiasts" involved in the auction will cause heated discussions when they are auctioned off.
Just like "One Thought", the public's controversy over Feng Xiaogang himself has never been broken over the years. Some people say that he is flashy and fancy, and some people praise him for being pure and an artistic suitor. Despite the two-level differentiation of people's evaluation of him, the name Feng Xiaogang has become the backbone of Chinese directors.
Although paintings are the introductory stage, Feng Dao loves the collection of paintings to the point of obsession. His collection of million-level paintings is innumerable, the most valuable of which is probably Feng Dao's beloved: the original manuscript of Ai Xuan's "Holy Mountain". The painting, which Feng Dao bought for 20.72 million, is hung discreetly on the living room wall, along with other collections, telling the owner's taste.
Compared with painting at the beginner level, Feng Dao's brush writing is still very good, although it may not be worthy of the law of characters, but it is indeed full of jianghu atmosphere. Hidden in this jianghu atmosphere, there is also a commercial atmosphere, that is, written on the aesthetics of the public.
Feng Dao's characters are thick and elegant, but if you look closely, you don't pay attention to the use of pens and sharp edges, and you should judge them by traditional standards, which should not be considered orthodox calligraphy, and "small rigid body" may be more in line with it.
But Xizi is probably only the hobby of Feng Dao, after all, Feng Xiaogang, who has "ascended to the top" in the profession of director, does not need to suffix the title of "calligraphy everyone" after his name. As for the personality, there are enough literary and artistic films made by Director Feng, and Feng Xiaogang is a "cultural person" and does not need to be hyped up anymore.
Years of directing career have made Feng Dao's aesthetic closer to the public and close to the market, and the same is true of the words he writes. Although Feng Dao's characters are "self-contained": they do not pay attention to cloth white and ink methods, but they are written beautifully and beautifully, and if they really make the brush characters written by Feng Dao into "small rigid bodies", they can also achieve good results like the movies he shot.
"Although I don't practice much, I dare to write" Some people commented on Feng Xiaogang's words in this way. Indeed, many people always dare not write when they first write brush words, and every time they write, they are always hesitant. The words written are also the same as caterpillars, not horizontal and vertical, and bend eighteen times in one stroke.
In fact, writing is like being a person: since you want to write, you must be decisive and firm, looking ahead and looking back, cowering and tailing, and finally getting the result of failure. "Regardless of three seven twenty-one, write and then say" If you are interested in calligraphy and painting, then you must do it first, although we can't immediately sell our own works in tens of thousands of units." But as long as we have the courage to take the first step, one day, calligraphy and painting will also become a tool for us to eat.
