Chapter 312 (1/2)
Old lady Tang Huiqin has always been a pragmatic person. Although she has integrated Chinese and Western painting schools, she only deeply loves realistic oil painting. The representative figures of realism are Courbet, Rousseau, Coro, Miller, dummier and so on. Their artistic practice and works support the cultural stars of realism.
One of Tang Huiqin's favorite paintings is the large realistic oil painting ”the funeral of Ornan” created by kurbe in 1855. This oil painting shows the grave diggers, relatives and friends of the dead, peace keepers, judges, notaries, priests, mayors, etc. it vividly reveals the psychology of various characters, and mercilessly depicts treachery, greed and hypocrisy. Courbet clearly shows the realistic flag which is against the ”ideal beauty” of neoclassicism and the ”exaggeration beauty” of romanticism.
For Tang Huiqin, who has experienced more than half a century, she has experienced all the joys and sorrows in her life, from war to turmoil to peace. The ups and downs of the country, nation and family have become the beautiful waves in her life.
Kurbe's realistic paintings are also the main subject of Tang Huiqin's western oil painting research in the Central Academy of fine arts. Liu Yizhi, who was still a student of the Central Academy of fine arts at that time, was her right-hand assistant. She made an in-depth study of Courbet, a talented French painter who dared to use his own art exhibition to make a statement to expound his artistic ideas and challenge the old-fashioned themes and rules advocated by the Conservatives.
It is also because of this experience in University, under the influence of Tang Huiqin, Liu Yizhi graduated from university. To travel around the world, especially in Europe, the great idea of painting.
Today, Liu Yizhi returns with a reputation and has already occupied a place in the history of world oil painting. He became one of the most outstanding realistic oil painting masters in China.
”Yesterday's chat, yizhi also had a lot of hardships in these years, so that he had such a great achievement. The last time he came to see me was five years ago. At that time, he was already famous. I studied in an art gallery in Austria. There will be efforts to pay. Yizhi is not an easy child! He has only one ambition, just like his name Now that he has done it, I'm happy for him too
Talking about his favorite student Liu Yizhi. Tang Huiqin is a happy smile. The old man has lived all his life. Everything else is very light. Think of their younger generation can realize their own ideals, each can find their own way of life.
”Mom, look at the domestic painting world. Your disciples account for more than half. You are fragrant with peaches and plums. When we return to the capital, it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of visitors. ”
Fang Liping said with a smile. In fact, my mother's life is the same. My father died in those turbulent years, leaving my mother to raise me. But I was not interested in painting and chose to go into politics. Fortunately, my daughter loved painting, but I didn't want to go to the Central Academy of fine arts as Tang Huiqin hoped.
”I have many disciples, and they are also very competitive. Originally, Yan Ran's talent is very good, but it's a pity... ” Grandma Tang Huiqin also knows that her granddaughter Qin Yanran applied for the entrance examination of Qingbei University. Although she is sorry, she will not interfere with the children's own choices. Their life should be left to them.
”Mother! Although Yan Ran doesn't go to the Central Academy of fine arts, is there still a leading painter like you to direct himself? In the future, our family may become a famous painter. ”
Fang Liping is smiling and comforting her mother. She helps her mother get busy in the kitchen. Her mother and daughter are preparing for lunch.
”Yan Ran's talent is good. Over the years, Western painting and traditional Chinese painting have almost learned. But I always feel that there is something worse, and then yesterday saw Yizhi, I knew. Yan Ran's skill in painting is no longer critical. What she lacks is only her life experience and artistic conception depth. ”
The old man likes to be garrulous when he talks. While busy living, he talks to his daughter Fang Liping, ”if a painting wants to have a soul, it must have an idea and the idea it wants to strive for. I haven't seen the unique expressive tension of the works, which are so impressive. This time the award-winning ”the train is coming” has rarely touched me in recent years. No wonder it won the Vienna Gold Award in Europe... ”
On the other side, Su Lin hung up the phone call from Qin Yanran and called Li Hao's home.
”How about Hiroko? What school do you want to apply for? Come to Beijing, too! Anyway, the universities in the capital are all in Xueyuan Road, so we can often meet. ”
Su Lin said with a smile, ”originally I wanted to go to your home to fill in the application form today, but Yan Ran asked me to go there, so I won't go there. Now on the phone, what school do you want to apply to? ”
