Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings are the most famous in the world. In the early days, he painted shrimps in the shape of green shrimps (river shrimps), mostly swimming shrimps. With the lamb brush, the texture and transparency are not strong, and the legs and whiskers of the shrimp are drawn short, dense and inelastic, and at most eight or nine hind legs are arranged.
For the sake of spirit likeness, the old man painted shrimp after the age of 70, which changed the painting method in his early years, enlarged and clarified the angle of shrimp body ups and downs, and deleted all kinds of swimming feet of shrimp in his early years. At first, he drew five swimming feet, and the texture and transparency of shrimp shells were strengthened. After the age of 80, he cut down complicated things and simplified them. He no longer painted complex shrimp groups, but only conveyed the spirit for a few shrimps. The most obvious change in shrimp painting is that he omitted the short beard in front of the shrimp head and only drew six big beards. The simplification of shrimp whiskers increases the space of the picture and highlights the swimming posture of shrimp. Three or four feet of banners, only four or five shrimps, are enough to fill the picture.
Qi Baishi painted crabs. At first, the crab shell was a mass of black, and you couldn't see the thick and thin strokes. Later, he painted with a pen on his left and a light ink on his right, unlike in the past, when he only used a ball of ink to paint the texture of crab shells; Then use three strokes, the left and right two strokes are thicker, the middle one is lighter, the tail of the pen contains less water, and the painting is dry, showing the meaning of crab shell protruding; Finally, add three strokes on the horizontal line, so that not only the crab shell bulges, but also the natural left and right pits on the shell surface are displayed.
Combining the observation and sketching in life, the pen and ink are brought into full play to draw a unique crab, which can reflect the texture and sex. Not only is the pen and ink unique, but it is also very vivid and interesting.
Using many crabs to compose a painting without scenery is almost rare in Qi Baishi's previous painting history, which can be said to be his original creation. Generally speaking, when composing a composition with a single image, it is only necessary to use the principle of density. However, when we look at his paintings, we can often find that there is an "ulterior motive", that is, to use the plane composition principle of visual art to enhance the interest of images. For example, he painted six crabs as components with similar shapes, which were arranged in the form of semicircles and arcs, thus creating a wonderful feeling that these crabs were running around, and better showing the chaotic characteristics and fun when these wild animals got together.
What are the characteristics of Qi Baishi's shrimp painting? Qi Baishi painted shrimp, and his abdomen was also five segments, but he stretched, bent, bent and jumped badly. The lower abdomen leg is concise to five. Thick and light ink is used for the shrimp head, indicating that the head and chest of the shrimp are heavier and have a stronger sense of transparency. Shrimp eyes are highlighted with thick ink, which is more vivid. On the short beard of shrimp, two long-arm pliers look tall and strong, both rigid and flexible, and the artistic conception between nodes is broken, which is intentional. Qi Baishi removed his beard after painting shrimp at the age of 90.
Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings are meticulous, realistic and beautiful, unprecedented. What he pursues is not appearance, but spirit.
Ask Qi Baishi to draw a shrimp, thank you! Pondering over prawns
Today we learned the first lesson of art, people's artist Qi Baishi. Among several reference works, I like a picture of a group of shrimps by Grandpa Qi Baishi best.
This painting * * * has nine shrimps, whose tentacles overlap closely, and their images are lifelike on paper. The shrimp written by Grandpa Qi Baishi is very vivid. Its head is specially dyed with thick ink, which highlights the transparent texture of the shrimp body. Grandpa Qi Baishi's painting of shrimp has reached the point of perfection. But you know what? He painted for more than ten years! In order to draw shrimps well, Grandpa Qi Baishi specially raised a lot of live shrimps, which jumped around all day, which not only provided Grandpa Qi Baishi with living materials, but also added a lot of interest to the life of the elderly. Every day, he kept carefully observing the shrimp's every move, and every detail fascinated him. Finally, he mastered the skills of drawing shrimp. Grandpa Qi Baishi draws shrimps differently from others. His shrimps are different, and they are by no means dull. Grandpa Qi Baishi himself said: "After several changes, he painted shrimp, which was slightly similar at first, became realistic at one time, and then changed color for decades before he got its essence."
It is said that Grandpa Qi Baishi was very interested in prawns when he was a child. When he was a child, there was a "Star Pool" next to his hometown. There are a lot of aquatic plants and fish and shrimp in the pond. The beautiful natural environment added a lot of fun to his childhood and provided him with many objects for sketching.
Looking at these small but lively shrimps, I am very emotional. What a sweaty road behind this work handed down from generation to generation ... I love this group of shrimp pictures and admire the author of this picture, Grandpa Qi Baishi.
From a philosophical point of view, it is well known that Qi Baishi painted shrimps beautifully. His shrimp is lifelike. In order to draw shrimp, he raised it himself and observed it every day, reaching this state. He used ink very well and clearly, thus achieving that vivid effect.
Why did Qi Baishi draw five shrimps? Originally there were six knots, but the old man Baishi always drew only five knots. The audience found this phenomenon and thought that the old man Baishi had made a mistake himself. In fact, old man Baishi certainly knows that shrimp has six knots. He keeps a lot of shrimps at home, and he often observes the characteristics and activities of shrimps. How could he make a mistake? Then why draw it into five paragraphs? Because the old man Baishi made a comparison, from an aesthetic point of view, five knots are far more beautiful and powerful than six knots. After all, art is not purely realistic, and its expressive force will exceed reality. thank you
Qi Baishi painted shrimp, where is the beauty of artistic conception? Baishi's paintings belong to literati paintings, mostly based on flowers and birds, close to life.
Interest is how people who look at pictures feel if they are in pictures.
Shrimp, with its elegant and calm posture, can easily make the audience feel the beauty of life.
Although water is not painted, it is as warm and free as being in water. It is the unique imagination space produced by the unique combination of reality and reality in Chinese painting, which endows aesthetics with changeable and magnificent emotional feelings in time and space.
The beauty of artistic conception lies in the audience's position and experience (the reflection of life experience)
Qi Baishi painted shrimp because of his superb diction.
Pronunciation chshén rüHuà?
Interpretation of righteousness, spirit and culture: refers to the magical realm. Extremely superb realm. Describe the achievements of literature and art.
Master Wang Yuan's "The West Chamber", the second volume, has a second discount: "I didn't make any noise, but he agreed quickly. Jin Shengtan:' A really superb pen'. "
I don't know how many live shrimps the old painter observed before he could draw such shrimps. (Qin Mu's "Shrimp Fun")
The characteristic of Qi Baishi's shrimp painting is that the shrimp he painted is lifelike, as if it were alive, but the shrimp he painted is less than the real shrimp.
Thank you. Qi Baishi's shrimp painting was inspired. Hello, landlord, I'm glad to answer your question. I hope I can help you by sorting out the following information.
At the age of 62, Qi Baishi put several live shrimps in the water bowl on his desk for a long time. The prancing and frolicking of shrimps not only adds fun to the life of the elderly, but also provides artists with an opportunity to inspire. But during this period, the shrimps in his works were too heavy and similar in shape, but lacking in spirit. At the age of 66, the shrimp described by Qi Baishi made a leap. Shrimp has a texture, and the front end of the head and chest has a strong feeling. If the abdominal joints are broken, the middle part arches and seems to creep. The long-arm pliers of shrimp are also divided into three sections, and the front section is thicker and more powerful. Shrimp hind legs reduced from 10 to 8. Note: There is a saying in Zheng Banqiao, "Simplify the Sanqiu Tree by deleting the complexity", which tells the true meaning of "simplifying the art" in China. Qi Baishi was transplanted here and succeeded. How admirable!
At the age of 68, his shrimp changed again: his abdomen was as small as six calves, and his shrimp eyes changed from two points to two horizontal pens. The most important thing is to add thick ink to the light ink on the head and chest to show the transparency of the trunk of white shrimp. At this point, Qi Baishi has completed a creative process, which is both vivid and realistic!
The pursuit of art can't be stopped-70-year-old Qi Baishi deliberately deleted the legs that didn't damage the authenticity of shrimp. By the time he was 78, the shrimp had only five hind legs. After the 80s, his shrimp really reached the extreme: accurate posture, elastic and transparent body, dynamic potential floating in the water ... The three elements of "shape, quality and movement" emphasized in artistic modeling all reached perfection.
Qi Baishi once said, "I painted shrimp for decades", and he also said, "I painted shrimp for several years. At first, it was only slightly similar, and then it changed color and changed three times." Qi Baishi's shrimp painting, as an artistic change, has left people with various inspirations. But I think, the most important thing should be a practical spirit of continuous exploration, courage to make progress and dare to deny yourself. I'm afraid the significance of this point is not limited to the art field.
I hope I can help you, and you can accept it if you are satisfied, O(∩_∩)O Thank you.
Why can Qi Baishi draw shrimp from form to spirit? When Qi Baishi 14 years old, he washed his feet in Xingchi and his toes were stung by shrimp. Since then, Qi Baishi often went to the pond to observe the posture of shrimp, and slowly began to imitate shrimp painting. Qi Baishi once wrote in his inscription: "Friends taste fish jumping, where can you get a picture of shrimp?" Yu Yue, the water in my small pond is crystal clear, and I often watch shrimps swim around and change endlessly. "But Qi Baishi really used shrimp as a painting object after he was 50 years old. At this stage, his shrimp paintings are mainly based on copying the ancients, and their shapes are relatively simple. The old man Baishi said: "There are dozens of people who draw shrimps and copy them. It seems that he can't live because there is no shrimp in his mind. " "Life" here means excitement. After the age of 62, Qi Baishi raised shrimps in a desk bowl and began to observe and sketch repeatedly. At this time, the shrimp he painted is more realistic in appearance, but it has no dynamic and transparent texture. By the age of 66, Qi Baishi's painting of shrimp was a leap, and the ink began to change in depth, giving shrimp a sense of texture and transparency. At the same time, he reduced the shrimp legs from 10 to 8. This year, Qi Baishi concluded: "The shrimp painted by Yu has been changed several times. At first it was only slightly similar. Once it becomes true, it becomes dark and bright, and these three changes have also taken place. "Later, he wrote in the picture of taro and shrimp:" I drew shrimp four times, and this is the fifth change. "At the age of 68, the old man Baishi came up with the method of" breaking ink "to draw shrimp, that is, adding a heavy ink to the light ink position of shrimp head and shrimp chest when the ink is not dry. This harmony is so important that it not only increases the strength of shrimp, but also highlights the transparency of shrimp. The old man Baishi also changed the eyes of shrimp from two ink dots to two horizontal pens, which better showed the swimming posture of shrimp and reduced the number of shrimp legs from 8 to 6. The same is true for painting shrimp bodies. When eating shrimp again, you can count the number of shrimp bodies is 6 knots, but the shrimp painted by the old man Baishi is 5 knots. This is not because the old man made a mistake, but because the five-section shrimp is the most beautiful and beautiful. This is the case with the old man Baishi, who has never stopped pondering the pen and ink for a moment. He described it this way: "The effort of painting fish and shrimp in the past 60 years is like sharpening a knife. "He has shrimp in his eyes and shrimp in his heart, completing the process from form to spirit. Until he was nearly 80 years old, the dried shrimps written by the old man Baishi finally reached a superb and exquisite position with minimalist pen and ink. Old man Baishi's shrimp can be said to be a miracle in the history of world art. Through his painting of shrimp, we can also know that his shrimp comes from life, but it is different from life. This is the truth of art.
