Is there a small story of Qi Baishi, urgently needed! ！ ！ ！ ！ 5

The most important friend.

In 1919, Qi Baishi moved his family to Beijing, where he made a living selling paintings and seals. At this time, he met perhaps the most important friend in his life - Chen Shizeng. The relationship between these two was later summarized as "Without Chen Shizeng, there would be no Qi Baishi, and without Qi Baishi, there would be no Chen Shizeng."

Chen Shi was a staunch supporter of tradition at a time when new ideas were surging in the painting world, and he wrote a book entitled "The Value of Literati Painting", which is extremely meaningful. However, it was this seemingly old-fashioned Chen Fuzi who encouraged and guided Baishi Weng many times, and with this spiritual support, Qi Baishi resolutely worked for ten years to carry out the decay and transformation method, and since then his freehand flowers and birds have been full of vitality and presented a well-known appearance to the world.

Xu Beihong invited Qi Baishi.

In September 1929, the master Xu Beihong was hired as the president of the Beiping Art Academy. Soon after he took office, he personally visited Qi Baishi and hired him to come to the university as a professor.

One morning in December, Xu Beihong walked into the humble studio of Qi Baishi, a cross-dong hutong in Beijing. The two hit it off at first sight, and they had a feeling of hating each other. When Xu Beihong proposed to hire Qi Baishi as a professor at the Beiping Academy of Arts, Qi Baishi looked at Xu Beihong silently for a while and politely declined.

A few days later, Xu Beihong knocked on Qi Baishi's door again, but was rejected again. In this regard, Xu Beihong is not discouraged or discouraged. He is well aware of the truth ...... that "sincerity goes, gold and stone are open".In the end, Qi Baishi was finally persuaded to serve as a professor at the Beiping Academy of Arts, and at the same time spoke his heart:

Not only did I never go to school, but I didn't even teach elementary school students, so how could I teach college students? ”

Xu Beihong said: "You just give students a demonstration of painting in class. ”

Galloping Horse" and "Shrimp Fun".

Although Qi Baishi's portrait Xu Beihong appreciated: "Wonderful nature, natural." However, in the art world at that time, some people tried their best to discriminate and belittle Qi Baishi, who was born as a carpenter.

In an art exhibition, Qi Baishi's works were neglected and squeezed into an unnoticed corner. When Xu Beihong saw Qi Baishi's work "Shrimp Fun" in the exhibition hall, he secretly rejoiced: "What a wonderful masterpiece!"

He immediately found the person in charge of the exhibition hall, put "Shrimp Fun" in the exhibition hall**, juxtaposed with his works, and changed the price of "Shrimp Fun" from 8 yuan to 80 yuan, while his "Running Horse" was priced at 70 yuan; He also noted the words "Xu Beihong's price" under "Shrimp Fun". This.

The incident caused a sensation, and Qi Baishi also.

This is famous in the capital.
