A painter who lived in the same era as Wu Daozi?

Wu Daozi, Wang Wei, Zhang Qi, Li Sixun, Cao Ba, Chen Hong, Yang Tingguang, Lu Liangjia, Xiang Rong, Liang Lingzan, Zhang Xuan, Yang Huizhi, Wei Wuhuang, Huang Fuzhen and others were all great painters at that time.

Wu Daozi's paintings have a unique style. In the early years, the brushwork was thin and the style was dense; Middle-aged to become strong, the Song Dynasty painter Mi Fu described Wu Daozi's pen round like "Ulva strips", slippery and delicate, undulating waves, between dots and strokes, sometimes see the lack of falling, there is a pen is not thoughtful and thoughtful. Later generations called him and Zhang Seng Miao "sparse body".

Wu Daozi's paintings of the figures are folded, fluttering, the lines are strong, chic and elegant, at that time people compared him with the famous painter Cao Zhongda in the Northern Dynasty Qi era, calling them "Wu with the wind, Cao Yi out of the water", because the characters in Cao Zhongda's paintings, clothes are often tightly wrapped around the body; And Wu Daozi's characters have fluttering sleeves and smooth lines. He uses the width and narrowness of the lines to express the concave and convex objects and make the line drawing picture have a three-dimensional effect. He likes to use burnt ink to outline the line, slightly apply light color, naturally beyond the silk, called "Wu costume".

The lines of the painting are concise, the pen is only one or two, and the image has been answered. Its landscape paintings are the scenery of Shu Road, which is a family of its own; It is also said that there were murals in the Datong Hall for more than 300 miles of mountains and rivers on the Jialing River, which was completed in one day. Wu Daozi's paintings had a great influence on later generations, and he was revered as a "painting saint" by people and an ancestor by folk painters.

Su Shi once praised him and said, "Painting to Wu Daozi, the changes of ancient and modern, the ability of the world to be completed", "new ideas in the law, good reason outside the bold".

Wu Daozi. He was a very famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, known as the saint of painting, and his life's creation was mainly based on murals, leaving many precious paintings for the world. The most famous work of Wu Daozi that still exists today should be "The Heavenly King Sends His Son" and"Eighty-Seven Immortal Scrolls".These three works represent the highest level of Wu Daozi's painting career, and I will introduce them one by one below.

1, "The King of Heaven Sends His Son".

The Heavenly King Sending the Son Picture, also known as the "Sakya Birth Picture", is an ink pen painting created by Wu Daozi after reading the Buddhist scripture "Ruiying Ben Sutra". Originally collected in the hands of the Japanese collector Abe Bojiro, contrary to what many people believe, this painting is not a Sino-Japanese war.

The period flowed out, but the Xinhai Revolution.

period outflow. On his deathbed, Abe Bojiro asked his family to donate all of his collection to the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art.

The main content of this painting is Shakyamuni.

Born, depicting the father of the Buddha, King Johan.

Hold the newborn Shakyamuni to worship the Great Freedom Heaven.

The temple god of heaven, the story of the gods worshipping Shakyamuni.

2, "Eighty-Seven Immortal Volumes".

The Eighty-Seven Immortal Scrolls are now preserved in the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall in Beijing.

It is a long scroll of white drawings on silk painted by Wu Daozi. The subject of this painting is Taoism.

The mythological characters mainly depict the Emperor of Donghua.

Eighty-seven immortals of the Antarctic Emperor and Fusang Emperor visited the Taoist Three Days together. However, according to expert research, a considerable number of characters are missing at the beginning and end of this painting, which has to be said to be a regrettable thing.

The experience of this painting is also very magical, it was originally bought by Xu Beihong, and later stolen by Xu Beihong when he held an exhibition in Kunming. Two years later, the painting appeared again in front of Xu Beihong, who spent 200,000 silver dollars with the help of his students.

It was redeemed and finally donated after Xu Beihong's death.

Sending the Son of the Heavenly King".

The picture is an exotic story, but the content of the painting is Taoist and Chinese. At the same time, it is also the product of the integration of Chinese local culture and Buddhist culture at that time. Wu Daozi broke the long-standing Gu Kaizhi and others' "tight and continuous, like spring silkworms spinning silk" gossamer depiction, and created the orchid leaf depiction.

So it can be considered his most famous work.

One of his most famous paintings is probably "Sending Children to the Heavenly King", which is now in the collection of the Osaka Museum of Art in Japan, and "Statue of the Peacock King" is also famous.

None of Wu Daozi's works have survived today, and it is actually said that his work is actually the "Picture of Sending the Child to the Heavenly King" painted by the Song people.

The king of heaven sent a picture, eighty-seven immortal scrolls.

Wu Daozi's painting art had a profound influence on the painting of the Tang Dynasty, and he was revered as a "painting saint" by later generations. The reason why Wu Daozi has achieved such outstanding achievements in the art of painting is that he can innovate. He is good at absorbing the essence from the complex object form, summarizing the concave and convex surfaces, yin and yang surfaces into irreducible "lines", combined with the internal movement of objects, constituting the organizational rules of lines, such as the high, side, deep, oblique, rolled, folded, floating, and lifting postures of clothing lines, and depicting the character of objects based entirely on the organization of lines.

The requirements of this kind of line are strict, each line meets the requirements of the shape and expressiveness, and each line is full of rhythmic beauty, which is a collection of previous generations and a created line.

Wu Daozi's painting style has been imitated and borrowed by many painters since the Tang Dynasty and the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The simple and elegant "white drawing" of the Song Dynasty painter Li Gonglin was developed from Wu Daozi's white painting of "not pretending to be the back, but only using ink traces", and the white painting became a new style of painting in China.

Today, when his relics have disappeared, the painting saint Wu Daozi is still well-known in the art world, because he created the traditional folk painting school that has dominated the history of the folk painting world for more than 1,000 years. The murals we see after the Tang Dynasty are all influenced by Wu Daozi. Yongle Palace in the Yuan Dynasty, Fagang Temple in the Ming Dynasty, etc., are all in the style of Wu Daozi, and the murals in Dunhuang are also the works of the Wu School.

There is no longer the original work of Wu Daozi, only a facsimile. Therefore, there is no work by Wu Daozi in China's top ten famous paintings.

I heard that a designer named Ouyang Jie's copy of the Chinese character painting art Fu Zi is based on Wu Daozi's Fu character painting, which was introduced in an article in China Reform Daily on June 21.

According to accurate research, Wu Daozi did not have the authentic works handed down, and the existing paper copies of "The Picture of the Heavenly King Sending His Son" and "Eighty-seven Immortal Scrolls" are imitations of later generations. Without the original hand-me-down, it is certainly impossible to be included in the famous paintings.

Wu Daozi's "Eighty-Seven Immortal Coupons" is very famous.

It's just that few of his paintings have survived

Wu Daozi, also known as Daoxuan, is known as Wu Sheng in the history of painting, and is a native of Yuzhou, Henan. The first great painter of the Tang Dynasty in China, he was called the "painting saint" by later generations, and was respected as the ancestor by folk painters.

Wu Daozi's paintings have a unique style and are the ancestors of landscape painting in China. He created the simple and far-reaching landscape "sparse body".

Wu Daozi was born around 680, he lost his parents when he was a child, lived in poverty, and learned from folk painters and carvers in order to make a living. Later, he changed to painting and gradually mastered the magic of painting.

Wu Daozi has painted more than 300 murals in the temples of Chang'an and Luoyang, with strange traces and no similarities, especially "Hell in Disguise" is famous all over the world.

Wu Daozi's painting has a unique style, his landscape painting has the merit of change, the painted figures are fluttering in the folds of clothes, the lines are strong, people are called the strip drawing of Ulva vegetables, it has the effect of flying clothes and the wind on the wall, and is known as "Wu Belt when the wind". He also applied a little light color in the scorched ink lines, and was known as Wu costume. The lines of painting are concise, "the pen is only one or two, and the image has been answered", which is known as the sparse body.

Wu Daozi is an all-round painter, who is omnipotent and omnipotent in figures, ghosts and gods, landscapes, pavilions, flowers and trees, birds and beasts. At the same time, Wu Daozi is the ancestor of China's landscape painting, and he created the "sparse body" of the landscape with far-reaching meaning between the brushes, making the landscape an independent type of painting, thus ending the vassal status of the landscape only as the background of figure painting.

Kaiyuan and Tianbao years is the heyday of Wu Daozi's painting creation, according to the literature, he has painted "Five Holy Pictures", "Zhao Jinggong Temple Holding the Furnace Heavenly Maiden", "Bodhi Temple Relic Buddha", "Heavenly King Lux", "Hell in Disguise", "Zhong Kui Ghost Hunting", etc., especially from the Dunhuang cave Tang mural "Vimo disguise" can be seen its style influence.

Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending His Son" is his representative work, the content of this painting is to describe the story of the birth of the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, his father King Johan and Lady Maya carried Prince Siddha to worship the Temple of the Great Freedom, and the gods worshiped him.

The painting reflects Wu Daozi's basic painting style, and he broke the gossamer line drawing method that had been followed by Gu Kaizhi for a long time.

Wu Daozi was a painter of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Daozi is good at painting Buddhism, gods and ghosts, people, landscapes, birds and beasts, plants and trees, Zen and pavilions, etc. Dan socks are honored as "He Chong's painting saint".
