Has Qi Baishi ever learned seal carving? Characteristics of Qi Baishi seal carving

I have learned, and I have learned to carve the seal very hard, using a lot of stones, and I mentioned it in a text in elementary school.

Learned! There is a bridge section of Qi Baishi grinding stone in the primary school textbook, think about it!

The main characteristics of Qi Baishi seal carving are as follows:

1.Swing freely: Qi Baishi seal carved pen and ink exquisite size slip pants, concise and smooth lines, especially good at using the pen speed, the strength of the "wave" technique lettering, so as to form a unique style.

2.Strong visual impact: He is good at pursuing visual impact, so he carefully studies the structure and shape of the seal, attaches importance to the layout and conception of the printing surface, so that the printing surface of his works is dignified and heavy, and the composition is coordinated.

3.Make good use of white space: Qi Baishi's seal pen is concise and neat, the font used is delicate and smooth, and the mastery of white space skills is also very skillful, and the emptiness and thick contrast caused by white space create an obscure impression.

4.Distinctive personality: He likes to add his own creative elements to the seal carving, using a variety of calligraphy forms such as official script, line calligraphy, cursive script and seal image to create a unique and simple style, with strong personality characteristics of the work.

In short, Qi Baishi seal carving style is unique, smooth and shocking, is a great master in the history of seal carving.

Unlike many people, in the depths of Qi Baishi's heart, there has always been a strong "peasant consciousness" of Ranghong, and from his many inscriptions, you can feel that slang words such as "veteran Qi Baishi", "wooden man" and "Baishi's grandson" can be printed, vulgar and elegant, elegant and vulgar, which is very different from the literati who liked to use exquisite words and sentences in the past. The deficiency of Qi Yin is precisely that it distances itself from the literati seal carving and lacks subtle beauty. Moreover, the anxiety caused by "learning from the West to the East" is involuntarily expressed in many calligraphers and painters, but it is not a problem for Qi Baishi.

Qi Baishi was thirty-two years old, and that year a literati who claimed to be a famous seal carver came to his hometown, and many people asked him to engrave the seal. Qi Baishi also took a Shoushan stone to ask for a name seal. After a few days to pick it up, the person returned the stone chapter and said:

Grind it flat and then carve it! "The white stone is smooth and flat; But since he said that, he had to grind it and take it again, and the man didn't look at it, and put it aside. After a few days to ask, still return the stone seal, arrogantly the most white stone back to grind again, white stone angry, take back the stone seal, determined to learn to engrave by himself, and that night with a pedicure knife carved into a seal.

Since then, he has continued to ask his friends for advice on engraving methods, and participated in carving techniques, and slowly learned to carve seals. Qi Baishi "grinding stone pulp" Qi Baishi, who was born as a carpenter, has become a folk painter in his thirties and can make painting a career. He loves engraving, once he saw the famous seal carver Li Wei carving, so he learned from him, he asked Li's younger brother Tie'an said:

I can't carve it well, what should I do? Tie An said to him jokingly: "You, take the Chu stone of Nanquan Chong, pick up a load of it, grind it as you go, carve it three or four big boxes, all of them will be turned into stone slurry, and the seal can be carved well."

When Qi Baishi heard this, he was angry and worked hard, often making the east house full of pulp, and then moved to the west house to carve, it was this kind of hard work that made him reach a very high level in the art of seal carving. "Son of Luban" Qi Baishi grew from a capable carpenter to an excellent painter, and later became a famous painter at home and abroad, but he did not look down on carpenters. He loves labor, but also loves the working people, carpenter, which is generally regarded as an inferior profession, but he likes it very much, so he carved the seals of "Son of Luban", "Under the Gate of Luban", "Gate of the Great Craftsman", "Wooden Man", "Wooden Layman" and other seals on his own canvas, and he is proud of being a carpenter!

Cheng Shifa's Art Diary Art requires the necessary refinement, generalization, and deformation of the depicted object, but it must be based on realism, and the "deformation" without the basic skills of realism is the wood without roots and the water without a source Art should be exaggerated and higher than the real one, for example, the camel in Tang Sancai, the head is slightly raised, which is more lofty and energetic than the head-up camel in the general **, showing its artistic charm. Art has to be deformed, but it has to be good, and if it is not good, it will show its original form. The flower and bird paintings of the ancients should be paid great attention.

The flower and bird paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties come from life, and the flowers and birds depicted are both vivid and scientific. Inheritance and life should not be disconnected, and it is necessary to combine the study of life with the inheritance of tradition in the practice of creation. In landscape painting, the painter must have affection, and the landscape will contain affection.

To draw a mountain is to draw a specific mountain, and to draw a tree is to draw a specific tree and to have their character.

There are a lot of stones in Quanchong, and Qi Baishi picked a load of painters to carve and grind every day. Eventually everyone.

The Gate of the Great Craftsman, the Way of Loneliness, Regret, Wutang, Qi Baishi, Liu Xinhui (member of Xiling Seal Society, member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association).

Objectively speaking, if Qi Baishi was just a simple painter, he could not and had no reason to become a master Qi Baishi. It can be said that Qi Baishi's seal carving is the cornerstone of Qi Baishi's painting, and without the achievement of Qi Baishi's seal carving, Qi Baishi's painting will have no artistic support point.

Secondly, Qi Baishi's style of printing is in the same vein as his style of writing and develops with each other.

Thirdly, Qi Baishi's seal is the most ideal window to see through Baishi's artistic conception, creation and achievement. The biggest feeling we have when we look at the seal of the old man Shiraishi is "happy". Many repetitive and monotonous words, in the eyes of the old man Shiraishi, are just a good opportunity for him to be different.

In 1994, I visited Mr. Qi Gong, and Mr. Qi said to me: Old man Shiraishi's engraving is very interesting. He pressed the stone against the edge of the table, picked up the stone and looked closely, then at a distance, first horizontally, then vertically, and finally the joints of the strokes were cleaned up with the tip of a knife to get ......Mr. Qi said it simply, but I think that the old man Baishi must have taken a long time to make the seal, and he was strategizing and stabbing like the wind.

Looking at the seal of Baishi, it is not difficult to find the following characteristics:

First, use a knife to write and calligraphy to make a seal. Qi Lao's seal calligraphy is taken from the ancient, in the process of printing, the old man Baishi gave full play to the advantages of calligraphy, direct, calm and happy.

Second, the cloth white is printed in black and white with calligraphy and virtual reality. At this point, it is the most subtle and the most difficult to understand. But it is also the key to understanding the beauty of seal carving.

3. Especially those places that are "invisible" outside of red and white, but the energy is huge. Take the "Way of Loneliness" (Baiwen) and Baishi (Zhuwen) seals as examples, and you can experience the wonderful use of the carving.

Fourth, the huge contrast between red and white adds a great flavor to his painting composition, which is not something that the Jinshi family can do. And this flavor is not concocted, but instinctively and naturally bursts out from Shiraishi's heart.

Fifth, the knife technique is simple, the composition is exquisite, without thinking, and the clumsiness and clumsiness complement each other. The lines of the white lithograph, one side is smooth, the other side is rough, as if the side is used with a pen, all with a real knife.

Sixth, in the word and word, word and edge of the treatment of bold and ingenious, borrowing, loss of edge, to the edge, thin edge, thick edge, square inch of land, full of wisdom.

Seventh, generally do not use particularly fine texture of printing materials, most of them are mainly Qingtian, supplemented by Shoushan. The biggest feature of Qingtian stone is that the stone is brittle and the knife, and its knife carving effect is most commensurate with the feeling of Baishi calligraphy, so we see the most representative works of Baishi, "Chinese Xiangtan people", "grass and trees may not be ruthless" and so on are based on Qingtian old materials. (Excerpted from Artron.com, with deletions).

Qi Baishi seal carving method emphasizes sparseness, space division ups and downs, single knife cutting stone, bold axe, horizontal and oblique insertion, fierce and fierce, happy dripping, to create a unique style of "freehand seal carving". The old man of Baishi first learned Ding Jing and Huang Yi of the Zhejiang School, and later learned Zhao Zhiqian and Wu Changshuo. Inspired by the Han Dynasty's "Worship of the Three Gongs Mountain Stele", the seal script of the round pen was changed to a square pen; Inspired by the "Tianfa Oracle Monument", a bold single-knife carving method was formed; It was also inspired by the Qin Quanliang, the Imperial Edition, the Han General Seal, and the Wei and Jin Dynasty multi-character official seals, forming a vertical and horizontal and unadorned printing style.

This question seems to be very ridiculous, because Qi Baishi, as a generation of calligraphers, not only has certain achievements in painting, but also has his own unique attainments in calligraphy, of course, for Wu Changshuo, he also has very high achievements, and has extremely high strength in calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, for the judgment of calligraphy, it is impossible to be similar to calligraphy, and directly say who imitates whom, which is without any basis, any calligraphy has its own characteristics, it is a work of art, and it has its own cultural heritage deeply rooted in it.

When Wu Changshuo became famous, Qi Baishi was not very famous, and Qi Baishi did imitate Wu Changshuo at the beginning, and their calligraphy had many similarities.

In the beginning, calligraphers began to learn by copying, but later on, they gradually developed their own characteristics.

I don't think this kind of thing can happen, because Qi Baishi himself has a very high level of calligraphy attainment.

I don't think this means that Qi Baishi imitated him, because everyone has their own style, and it's normal to have a little similarity in calligraphy.

Even if it is imitation, Qi Baishi's calligraphy has its own independent style, not pure copying, calligraphy is similar to a lot, not necessarily copying.

I think that there are similarities in calligraphy, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is imitation, because some people will have the intention to write in that direction after they have seen some people's calligraphy and paintings, and at most they can only say that they are copying.

It can't be said that even if there are really similarities, it can't be generalized, Qi Baishi's personal style is also obvious.

It may be copied, or it may be modified on the basis of the original, although it looks similar, but each still has its own characteristics.

Old Man Shiraishi is the only artist selected as a new Chinese citizen artist in New China. Recognized all over the world as a master of painting and calligraphy.

Calligraphy may be copied, but everyone has their own style.

The old man Baishi also had a few teachers, and Wu was actually one, but Wu confiscated it at that time, and later the old man Baishi gradually became famous. It's also a trend, and of course we choose the best learning.
