Fu Baoshi

Fu Baoshi (October 5, 1904 to September 29, 1965), formerly known as Changsheng and Ruilin, is the master of baoshizhai. He was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. His ancestral home is Xinyu, Jiangxi Province. He is a modern painter and the representative of "new landscape painting". He studied in Japan in his early years and taught in Central University after returning home. After 1949, he was a professor of Nanjing Normal University and President of Jiangsu Academy of traditional Chinese painting.

After investigating the figure story paintings created by Fu Baoshi during his stay in Japan and imitated by Japanese painters after returning home, we can not confirm his direct imitation and duplication of Japanese historical paintings in a fully empirical way.

He is good at landscape painting. In his middle age, he created "baoshicun". His style is free and unrestrained. He is especially good at the scenery of spring, waterfall, rain and fog. In his later years, he mostly made large-scale paintings with a strong sense of the times. Most of the figure paintings are made of ladies and scholars with high image. His works include research on ancient Chinese painting, outline of the history of changes in Chinese painting, etc.

On the evening of June 5, 2017, Fu Baoshi's "Maoshan majestic scene" was shot at poly in Beijing. The scene started with 145 million yuan, and the auction was completed with 162.5 million yuan and 187 million yuan Commission.

Character history

Fu Baoshi was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. In 1921, he was promoted to the provincial first normal university without examination. At that time, he began to read some of the ancient painting history and painting theory, especially when he saw Shi Tao's idea of "I use my method", he appreciated Shi Tao's idea of "searching all the strange peaks to make a draft". In March 1933, Fu Baoshi went to Japan and joined the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in Tokyo, where he was taught by the art historian keigo kanahara. In May 1935, Fu Baoshi, with the great help of his teacher, Shigo kanahara, and Mr. Guo Moruo, who was in Japan at that time, held a solo exhibition of Fu Baoshi's calligraphy, painting and seal cutting in Tokyo, which was a great success. President naohiko Masaki and painter Hengshan Grand View visited the exhibition. In June 1935, Fu Baoshi returned home due to his mother's illness. In July 1936, he held his first exhibition in Nanchang. After the summer vacation, he was employed by Xu Beihong to teach in the Art Department of Nanjing Central University. After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese war in 1937, he returned to Xinyu's hometown with his family. In April 1938, at the invitation of Guo Moruo, he went to Wuhan to participate in the work of santing. After that, he moved to Chongqing and entered a peak period of his artistic creation. He lives in jingangpo, Shapingba. Since then, he often inscribed "jingangpo Xiazhai" on his paintings. He drew the painting of Yuntai Mountain, compiled the chronicle of Shitao master, and created the portrait of Shitao master and the painting of Dadi thatched cottage. All these reflect the relationship between Fu Baoshi's artistic creation and historical research, as well as his artistic origin.

In more than six years after 1939, Fu Baoshi, on the one hand, entered the peak of his historical research, on the other hand, completed his transition from seal cutting and historical research to painting creation. In October 1942, Professor Fu Baoshi's painting exhibition was held in Chongqing. In September 1944, Fu Baoshi created the famous work "beauty walk" with Du Fu's Yuefu poem "beauty walk" (sold by Jiade international auction company for 10.78 million yuan in 1997). Later, Xu Beihong praised his painting: "this is a great symphony of sound, color, soul and flesh", and wrote: "Mr. Baoshi '

After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, he and his family moved back to Nanjing with the school. In October 1947, Professor Fu Baoshi's painting exhibition was held in Shanghai, and Guo Moruo evaluated the exhibition with "full immersion" and "full of charm". At that time, however, Nanjing was in a state of panic. Taking advantage of the opportunity to evacuate the population, Fu Baoshi left Nanjing with his family and returned to Nanchang. After the founding of new China, modern Chinese history has entered a new era. Fu Baoshi began to welcome a new life full of hope.

Fu Baoshi, as the president of Jiangsu traditional Chinese Painting Academy, led the "Jiangsu traditional Chinese painting working group" to sketch for 23000 miles in September 1960, which promoted the development of new landscape painting in the mid-20th century and pushed the movement of drawing from life to push traditional Chinese painting to a historical climax. Later, Fu Baoshi's social theme represented by the magnificent coal city and his efforts in the integration of landscape and industrial theme have indicated that modern landscape painting is in line with the trend of the times; the natural theme represented by Jingbo Feiquan is the shock and reflection of northern landscape in Fu Baoshi's mind. He died in 1965.

Fu Baoshi was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and his ancestral home is Xinyu, Jiangxi Province. He was an apprentice in a porcelain shop at the age of 11 and taught himself calligraphy, seal cutting and painting. In 1925, he wrote an overview of the origin and development of traditional Chinese painting. In 1926, he graduated from the Art Department of the provincial first normal university and stayed in school to teach. In 1929, he wrote an outline of the changes of Chinese painting. In 1933, with the help of Xu Beihong, he went to Japan to study. In 1934, he held a personal painting exhibition in Tokyo. He returned to China in 1935 and taught in the Art Department of Central University. During the Anti Japanese War, he settled in Chongqing and continued to teach in Central University. He moved to Nanjing in 1946.

After the founding of new China, he was vice chairman of China Artists Association, chairman of Jiangsu Branch of China Artists Association, and vice chairman of Jiangsu calligraphy and seal Research Association. Vice president of China Artists Association, chairman of Jiangsu Branch of China Artists Association, vice president of Jiangsu calligraphy and seal Research Association. He was elected deputy to the third National People's Congress and member of the second CPPCC National Committee. In 1952, he was a professor of Fine Arts Department of Nanjing Normal University. In 1957, he was the president of Jiangsu Academy of Chinese painting.

hope of reunion among friends

Fu Baoshi became famous in the 1940s, but his cognition did not cover all social strata: for the sake of bringing Fu Baoshi greater fame and being recognized by the whole society, it was the giant landscape painting "so many beautiful rivers and mountains" written in the autumn of 1959.

In June 1959, at the invitation of Hunan people's publishing house, Fu Baoshi visited Changsha and Shaoshan in Hunan Province and created a number of important works, including Shaoshan hand scroll, Shaoshan towering green, ciyue evening bell, Shibi Langquan and more than 20 Shaoshan paintings and Chairman Mao's former residence. In early July, he suddenly received a telegram from the Jiangsu Academy of traditional Chinese painting asking him to return as soon as possible, to the effect that: Comrade Baoshi, the central government is calling, please come to Beijing as soon as possible. So he interrupted his sketching and went home in a hurry. Only when he got home did he know that it was Premier Zhou and vice premier Chen Yi who jointly asked him to paint for the Great Hall of the people. So he rushed to Beijing in the heat and stayed at Dongfang Hotel in Qianmen. His task was to work with Lingnan painter Guan Shanyue to paint for the Great Hall of the people.

1959 is the 10th anniversary of the founding of new China. Ten buildings have been built in the capital, the most magnificent of which is the Great Hall of the people. The central government invited famous painters from all over the country to Beijing to paint separately according to the needs of architectural settings. The original plan was to ask Fu Baoshi and Guan Shanyue to paint a landscape respectively. When they stepped up from the north gate, they had to walk into the open wall of the banquet hall. Because they didn't have time to decorate large relief, they needed to use traditional Chinese painting instead. Therefore, they invited Mr. Fu and Guan Shanyue, who had already arrived in Beijing, to work together on a large painting entitled "Jiangshan" based on Mao Zedong's poem "Qinyuan spring · snow" So many beauties
