Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge Zheng Wuchang (1894-1952), known as Chang, number weak niche, alias and as a layman, silk sideburns, Shuangliu foreign history, Mo Mandarin Duck landlord, Wushe lyricist, etc., Zhai name Lu Fetus Immortal Pavilion, Shengxian Sanhe Township (now Shengzhou Sanjie Town) Changqiao Village. **During this period, he was a talented and astonishing calligraphy and painting artist, community activist, art educator, art historian, calligraphy and painting collector, and poet. Good at landscapes, or pine, or lush. You Gong paints willows, the painted willow trees are long and thin, graceful, looking forward to life, and the peers play with "Zheng Yangliu". The rest of the poems are fresh and recitable. Printed with a collection of landscape paintings.
Zheng Wuchang's landscape paintings are mainly shallow, making good use of ink green and ink ochre, sometimes pine and beautiful, sometimes gloomy, and the greatest influence of Zijiu, Shi Tao and Shi Xi in his life, and the re-extraction method is taken from the Song and Yuan dynasties, the pen and ink are fine, the composition is unique, and the charm is melodious.
It is often said in the Chinese painting world that "it is difficult to paint a willow when painting a tree", but Zheng Wuchang is very good at painting willows. The scenery of a large number of willow trees in the landscape has become a major feature of Zheng Wuchang's landscape. He once inscribed: "It is difficult to paint trees and willows, and the art garden is a warning." In fact, when painting willows, you don't think about painting willows, you can grow branches from your own stems, grow leaves from your branches, and write them at will, so you will not be hindered. If it is thin but not weak, dense but not chaotic, beautiful but not vulgar, it is a talent, not a unique skill. ”
Zheng Wuchang painted willow first dry, then out of the branches, willow silk from the top of the painting, from top to bottom, dense layers, front and back, left and right, each in its own state, spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind and rain, clear snow, each with its own face, willow silk in addition to the ink line, and then with the cyan color to supplement, increase the texture and level of the willow silk, and then with the cyan dye, all expressive.
As a powerful heavyweight calligraphy and painting artist in the ** period, Zheng Wuchang occupies an important position in the painting world, but it is a pity that he suffered from cerebral stasis at the age of 58 and died young, otherwise his achievements must be far more than that.
