Life of the characters

In 1918, he studied in the Institute of Chinese painting affiliated to Peking University. He was a lecturer of the National Academy of Arts and a professor of Chinese painting in the eighth class of Peking University. At the age of 17, he joined the Chinese Painting Research Association to study and copy ancient paintings from Jincheng. With Jincheng and Chen Shizeng, he went to Japan to participate in the Sino Japanese painting joint exhibition. Among the disciples of Jincheng, his attainments are profound. Starting from Wang Hui, he studied various schools in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. At the same time, he paid attention to sketching. He combined tradition and nature into a furnace. The landscape is fresh and elegant, and the artistic conception is remote. In 1936, he was promoted to the Chinese Painting Research Association and taught in Jinghua Academy of Fine Arts in the early 1930s. In 1954, he was an associate researcher of the Institute of national fine arts of the Central Academy of fine arts.

works

Under the guidance of the famous teachers Jincheng, he Lvzhi, Yu Difan and Xiao Qianzhong, Wu Jingting started with the "four kings", especially Wang shigu, and indirectly traced back the track of the famous artists in the song and Yuan Dynasties. He repeatedly copied the famous works of the past dynasties and continuously studied them, laying a solid foundation for traditional painting. Wu Jingting is talented and hardworking. His works have profound skills and elegant style. Most of his works in the first half of his life used fine brushwork to set colors, comprehensively used the ancient painting methods, and formed a clear and powerful painting style according to his own understanding. After liberation, he traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, trying to seek change by sketching from life. His later works paid more attention to the depiction of the scene atmosphere. The painting was gorgeous and pleasing to the eye, sometimes with no bone method, sometimes with clay and gold outline, and sometimes with Jinbi cover dye, which had a unique charm.

characteristic

As early as in the exhibition of his achievements in the second year of the Chinese Painting Research Association, he attracted people's attention with his almost genuine copying works. Under the guidance of famous masters such as he Lvzhi, Yu Difan and Xiao Qianzhong, the painting society started with the "four kings", especially Wang shigu, and indirectly traced the track of various schools in the song and Yuan Dynasties. Through continuous study, it laid a solid foundation for traditional painting. Most of his works in the first half of his life were meticulous color design and comprehensive use of the ancient painting method, but he was able to develop his own understanding and gradually formed a clear and powerful painting style. In the later stage, the works involved in sketching from life pay more attention to the depiction of the scene atmosphere. In the brush and ink, Ma Xia's strong axe is often used, which is gorgeous and pleasing to the eye. Sometimes, he uses boneless techniques, sometimes, he uses clay and gold to outline, and sometimes uses Jinbi to cover and dye, which is not rich in charm. It should be said that his new exploration is basically still in the scope of traditional ink, but more inclined to the use of color. Guan Ruizhi, a senior contemporary landscape painter and traditional Chinese painting theorist, pointed out that Mr. Wu Jingting's hard work in studying traditional Chinese painting is rare among the masters of modern traditional Chinese painting. Mr. Wu believed that painting traditional Chinese painting requires "stupid efforts" to consolidate the basic skills. In the early 1960s, Mr. Wu refined and sublimated his landscape painting skills through sketching from life, and formed the bone method of depicting the natural form of trees and stones in the complex and ingenious composition. The pen and ink are rich in texture expression, which has become one of the important contributions of modern Chinese painters to the traditional pen and ink. According to the research of Mr. Guan Ruizhi, Mr. Wu Jingting has always been committed to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese painting. He always rescued Chinese painting in the low tide of Chinese painting and quintessence. He was an early member of the Chinese Painting Research Association and the hushe Painting Association in the early 1920s, and also one of the main members of the first batch of Beijing Calligraphy and Painting Research Association and Beijing Chinese Painting Research Association in 1952 and 1953.

Exhibition information

The opening ceremony of the art exhibition of calligraphy and painting commemorates the forgotten master of landscape painting. While a series of "series exhibitions of Chinese art masters in the 20th century" organized by Beijing Academy of painting has attracted the attention of the art circle, it has become an urgent task to sort out the work of a group of painters who have a great influence in Beijing and even in the field of Chinese painting. A few days ago, Wu Jingting's fine art exhibition of calligraphy and painting opened in the Art Museum of the Academy. Wu Jingting is one of the most important representatives of Chinese painting in Beijing. The exhibition of Wu Jingting's calligraphy and painting is of special significance. This is not only the carding of Wu Jingting's calligraphy and painting art, but also the best memorial of this gradually forgotten landscape painting master. According to Wu Hongliang, director of the art gallery of the Beijing Academy of painting, Wu Jingting is a master of Beijing style landscape painting who has made a long-standing conclusion. His artistic experience clearly reflects the historical context of the development of Chinese painting in Beijing and Tianjin. There are two important turning points in his artistic creation: first, he participated in the activities of the Chinese Painting Research Association and the Hu society in his youth; second, after the founding of new China, the tide of sketching from 1953 to the early 1960s became a landmark activity in the development of Chinese painting, which also affected Wu Jingting's subsequent creation. Wu Jingting's early works have been able to blend the north and the south. Some of the pictures are refined and some are free and easy, showing a profound painting accomplishment. In his later years, he cooperated with painters from Beijing Academy of painting and other units in some giant landscape paintings, such as "thousands of rocks competing for beauty, thousands of valleys competing for flow" and "spring of Summer Palace" collected by Beijing Academy of painting in this exhibition, which are the efforts of responsible Chinese painting artists to endow landscape paintings with greater spiritual and cultural connotation. It is reported that the exhibition will last until July 16.
