Fan Ceng: Self-created Contemporary Jokes.

A friend teased me that you criticized Huang Yongyu. Why don't you talk about Fan Ceng? The implication is that I need a bowl of water to be even. However, there is no essential connection between their art and the lack of comparability. Besides, in my opinion, Huang Yongyu is worthy of criticism, but Fan Ceng is not. Why waste pen and ink? But I soon realized that Mr. Fan Ceng knew? Is it worth it? Say it. What I have found is that under the cover of irrelevant praise or even irrelevant moral judgment, real criticism is rare. Secondly, Fan Ceng's works have been in public view for more than 30 years. Whether it is praise or criticism, he has become a part of contemporary China people's artistic cognition. To some extent, the reflection on Fan Ceng's art is also a reflection on our own appreciation level.

In my impression, the first time I came into contact with Fan Ceng's works was when I saw two illustrations of Lu Xun's novel Medicine in a Chinese textbook. At that time, China's traditional sketches were curled up in comic books such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Journey to the West, and there were too few excellent works that could be selected as teaching materials. I believe many students, like me, copied down the two illustrations one by one, but didn't know that they were written by Fan Ceng.

70% of Fan Ceng's kung fu comes from painting. Did he talk before? No one in China draws a line? , is not all empty talk. During my study in the Central Academy of Fine Arts, I studied under Jiang, Li Keran and others, with a solid foundation. After graduation, I went to work in the Palace Museum and worked with Mr. Shen Congwen to compile and draw materials on ancient Chinese costumes. During this period, I worked hard at drawing. It is said that Fan Ceng copied famous works of past dynasties, such as The Traffickers' Map, The Daolian Map, The Lady of the State of Guo You Chun Map, The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, The Eighty-seven Immortals' Volume and so on, and gained a lot. Speaking of which, Fan Zeng is really lucky. When his peers were overturned in the tide of the times, fate had laid a pretty good foundation for him.

Because of this, Fan Ceng didn't go too far in the detour of westernization of Chinese painting, and with his own efforts, he was far superior to his peers and not inferior to his elders in techniques in his early thirties. His portrait of Han Feizi and the statue of Qu Yuan are enough to prove this point. In the next ten years, his technology became more and more mature, and his achievements were mainly reflected in Illustrated Works of Lu Xun (1978) and Portrait of Jiang (1979). The former has pure lines and is quite satisfactory, while the latter works and writes, with a degree of relaxation and a good style. But we can see that at that time, Fan Ceng's paintings only saw the skill, but not the self.

In 1980s, Fan Ceng's artistic style became very distinct. He wrote in Fan Ceng's readme that at the age of 30, he was still frustrated with his future painting style. One day, at the invitation of a close friend, I made a bold announcement in a four-foot single. He drew a famous man with a beautiful beard and saw a lively monkey, which won the house applause. Since then, the world has changed. But as I said before, Fan Ceng's distress and consciousness are ahead of time. While others are painting Every Grain is Hard (Fang Zengxian) and My Recruit (Yang Zhiguang), he is absorbed in writing about the ancients. When others are painting "Happy Days" (Liu Wenxi) and "The Chairman travels all over the country" (Li Qi), he is already imitating the ancients. When others just woke up from the aftershocks of the times and carefully realized the idea of self-liberation with minority customs, his characters were shirtless and unrestrained. In fact, not only China painters lag behind Fan Ceng, but even oil painters are a little slow. Take Jin Shangyi as an example. He started with explorer (1980), painter (198 1), young singer (1984), painter Huang and painter Kun Can (6544).

Fan Ceng thinks that painters can be divided into six categories, from low to high. They are painters, famous artists, everyone, masters, masters and demons. Since the situation is moving towards the realm of five products, what is the so-called? Sit back and wait for tomorrow? . In the 1980 s, he really joined the league, so did he ride the dust later? The opposite is true? Fan Ceng's artistic rise and fall curve is much steeper than his lines.

It is normal to put yourself in the shoes and meet the eagerness and enthusiasm of the art market for the first time. Add the arrogance and madness inherent in the character, and Fan Ceng was born? Above the Southern Song Dynasty, equal to Liang Kai? This idea is not surprising. ("Fan Ceng's Self-report") With his performance before the age of 40, it is possible if he can move from diligence to meditation and approach wisdom. It is difficult to predict that the interaction between environment and personality will last so long and produce such fruitful results.

Forty years later, Fan Ceng's intelligence experienced an extremely rare decline. If the inscription on the painting is hidden, I'm sure that most viewers can't sort Fan Ceng's works roughly according to the time of creation. If you pay a little attention, you will find that there is little difference between Fan Ceng's 1980 painting "Interesting Pictures of Zhong Kui" and 1987 painting "Zhong Kui Shenwei", and there is little difference between the characters in 1994 and 2000 "Promoting Weaving". Over the years, he has been like a full-color copier, constantly replicating his success. When writing sage like style, you must look up and close your eyes, and your nostrils will open, and you will smell fart; A picture of a wise old man must be haggard, curled up on the ground and giggling. Countless Buddhism, countless Zhong Kui, countless spiritual chanting, Lao Tzu went through customs, which made people yawn again and again.

The reason for the character? A thousand people? It is because Fan Ceng lacks in-depth understanding of the dynamics of the role, and can't explain the ins and outs of the role's actions clearly, so he has to pose to prevaricate the audience. And what about humans? Pose? After all, the painting is limited, and of course it is monotonous and repetitive. Did he try to make up for the lack of movement in the picture with flexible lines, or did he use drunken tricks? Hiding someone else? It is a pity that those nepotism and exaggerated expressions without wind have not played a positive role, but set off the stiff movements and confusion of the characters.

In terms of picture layout, Fan Ceng's mistakes are more prominent. Very straightforward and superficial, almost the level of the wall newspaper. One or two people in the painting are ok, but more than three people can't do it at all. A slightly more complicated scene is even worse. He also tried his best to simplify the scene and avoid dealing with the multiple relationships of the characters. This evasive and prescriptive approach will naturally give the audience a thin and boring feeling. For example, he wrote many songs "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", and each capital repeated the above shortcomings. Characters have no personality and no spirit, and there is no substantive connection between them. A group of people get together and appear in the same picture, but it feels like a mob. If the props in their hands, such as wine glasses and guqin, are replaced by dusting, banana fans, chrysanthemum knives, eyebrow sticks and so on. , will not give people any abrupt and funny impression. So-called? Seven sages of bamboo forest? , can also be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, or even just robbed the birth class, while Wu Yong Gongsun Sheng and others are raising a glass to celebrate.

I believe that with Fan Ceng's talent, he knows the above problems best. However, the fact is that he shows no signs of correction. As he grew older, he also lost the opportunity to correct it. Therefore, he had to continue to create contemporary jokes and let God himself.

In the recently published "Fan Ceng's Self-Report", he wrote: When I made such a clear discovery, my artistic progress was almost as fast as lightning, which shocked the whole society, and my paintings rushed out of Asia to the world at an unprecedented speed. In just ten years, I was like a strange peak lifted by the earth from a violent earthquake, soaring into the sky. ?

Let Teacher Fan continue. As for me, I won't wait. Let's leave before it is too late.
