【Famous Artist's Comments】Creation according to the shape of the look - read Ma Quanfang's flower and bird paintings
All the beings in the world have their own forms, each has its own god, and each has its own form. Painting imitations of shapes, in addition to a solid foundation of realism, it is more important to grasp their gods and chase their souls. The so-called "spirit is brilliant, out of the paper." "In ancient times, there was a saying that the finishing touch was the myth of catching gods and chasing souls.
Reading Ma Quanfang's flower and bird paintings makes people feel like being in the jungle of flowers and birds, and seeing the appearance of various animals, they play and play, jump and jump, drink water and hiss, and cross the stream through the forest. He painted tigers, horses, cows, snakes and other animals of the twelve genera, and he was able to paint them all, and he was able to put the twelve genera in one picture, creating things according to their shapes, and their expressions appeared. Among the animals, he is particularly good at painting cats, depicting the movement and demeanor of cats in detail, which is deeply appreciated by viewers. His painting of the cat, first published in the Form of an English edition in the American Rocky Rock, was introduced to the world as one of the contemporary Chinese painting arts.
Ma Quanfang can write freehand and write in his accurate forming ability. He basically fixed himself on painting animals, used ink for himself, used color very carefully, ink should use research ink, colors are carefully selected, pick up the quality of the best. He carefully studied the contrast between ink and color. Highlight its bright, transparent, light, fresh several characteristics. Mr. Lang Shaojun once pointed out that there is mutual exclusion, contradiction and incompatibility between realistic modeling, especially light and shadow sketch modeling and pen and ink freehand expression. Ma Quanfang, on the other hand, can harmonize his creatures, and the twelve genera together are themselves exclusive, but he unifies them into a picture, handling the relationship between them clearly and hierarchically. The symbiosis and communion of the genus shiān also symbolizes the way of harmony between heaven and earth, each with its own beauty, each showing its own form, the nature of the heavenly path, and the fusion of its image. In his creation, Ma Quanfang focuses on the portrayal of the "gods" of animals, grasping the shape and chasing the gods. Portraying the instantaneous appearance of living beings in place and seeing all the hairs is a great skill. Painting is actually a contradiction, and if it is not handled well, it "has its shape, but it has no charm, its color, and its brushwork" (Tang Dynasty Zhang Yanyuan). "Self-destruction due to depiction, self-restraint in pen and ink" (Shi Tao). Ma Quanfang's "god" and "miao" on the accurate grasp of form are the artistic beauty rich in charm created on the basis of "Xiao", and the unity of the "god" of the object and the "intention" of the subject.
Ma Quanfang has a loving beauty for his creatures, and whenever he finishes painting a painting in a few days, he has to quietly admire it for a while in front of the painting, immersed in a kind of creative excitement. While creating each "living being", he actually integrates himself into it, so he can paint quietly for a day alone, and can continuously complete one painting after another in the spirit of continuous combat, so that the harmony of nature can continue to spread to the viewer through the picture. Fabre is a philosopher who observes all kinds of animals in the world, and when we look at Quanfang's paintings, we can't help but think of Fabre, our love for everything in the world, just like all living beings, this is a word "love". Zhang Huaixuan, a Tang dynasty, said: "The mind cannot be mysterious in things, ink cannot be bent in the heart, it is worried about it, it is first, it is harmonious with qi, it is solemnized by god, it is tailored with virtue, it adapts to change, the law has no body, and it is noble to understand." "The depth of its interest, the pleasure of sex, can be tacitly understood, cannot be proclaimed." The god of the magic of the painting realm is finished here. (Wu Chuanhuai)
