Talk about drawing tigers by yourself.

The tiger is the king of beasts, powerful and vigorous, and has the spirit of a king. From ancient times to the present, people are used to praising people and things in life with words such as "full of energy", "Crouching tiger, hidden dragon", "adding wings to the tiger" and "cut to the chase". Tigers have always been favored by many painters. As the saying goes, "It is difficult to draw bones by drawing tiger skin". The tiger's body structure and spirit from the inside out are beyond the ordinary painter's ability to draw. So there are few tiger painters.

So who are the artists in China who are famous for painting tigers? Let me sort out the famous tiger painters in China and see where they come from.

Hua Nie: Draw a tiger to drive a wolf.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, Hua Nie, an outstanding painter in Qing Dynasty and one of the representatives of Yangzhou Painting School, climbed mountains and mountains and walked for dozens of miles to Sujiapo Village. Hardly had he entered the village when he heard waves of women crying. Upon inquiry, it was learned that a group of wolves ate some pigs raised by widow Lei's family last night.

Villagers told Hua Nie that wolves had recently come to the village, and poultry and livestock had been hurt, which caused panic in every household and made the whole village uneasy. Suddenly, Hua Nie came up with the desire to draw a tiger to drive away wolves and insects for the people. Hua Nie pondered for a moment and began to paint on the wall of the pavilion beside the country road. Soon, a bared tiger survived.

That night, the wolves entered the village again and suddenly found a tiger jumping out of the wall of the pavilion, opening its jaws and coming at them, scaring the wolves to flee everywhere. Since then, wolves have never dared to commit crimes again.

The story of Hua Nie painting a tiger to drive a wolf spread all over Shanghang urban and rural areas. More than 300 years have passed, and the story of Hua Nie's diligent study and practice has been sung in the countryside.

Zhang Shanyuan: Love tigers, draw tigers and raise tigers.

Zhang Shanma (1882 ~ 1940), a famous modern painter, is Zhang Daqian's second brother. The name Ze, the word is good, one is a good son, the other is good, so it is called tiger delusion.

Zhang Shanzi is good at landscapes, flowers, animals and tigers. And love tigers, since the number "tiger idiot", known as "tiger male." The two brothers originally lived in Shanghai. Since the "December 28th Incident", Shanghai has been full of wars and frequent surprise attacks, so they moved to the "Dafeng Hall" in Suzhou Wangshi College to paint with peace of mind. A fellow countryman friend got a young tiger, and knowing that Zhang Shanyuan had a soft spot for tigers, he gave it to them enthusiastically. Zhang Shan's mother is a treasure, nicknamed "Tiger".

Liu Jiyou: Master of Tiger Painting.

Liu Jiyou (19 18~ 1983), a native of Tianjin, is an outstanding painter in China. Influenced by his father's famous painter Liu Kuiling since childhood, he loves painting. Liu Jiyou is a national player, and he vividly describes everything. The lions, tigers and cheetahs in his works are both in form and spirit, with extraordinary momentum, showing the wind of kings.

Mr. Liu Jiyou loves to draw tigers all his life, and the painting of tigers is the most wonderful! He has certain achievements and status in tiger painting. In the creation of animal paintings, Mr. Liu Jiyou exaggerates and refines the animal images properly on the basis of high realism, and is good at capturing the instantaneous dynamics of animal movements, showing a more perfect image than in life and endowing animals with anthropomorphic emotions.

Mr Liu Jiyou formed the habit of observing things at any time by discussing the traditional techniques of Chinese painting. Through the description of the internal and external physical and physiological characteristics of the tiger, such as its skeleton structure, loose texture and fur markings, the tiger displayed in front of people is not only vivid, but also lifelike. It also gives the tiger a distinctive character of "the king of beasts".

Hu zaobin: a neglected famous tiger painter

Hu Zaobin (1897- 1942), whose real name is Bin, was born in Zhipu Town, Shunde, Guangdong.

Hu Zaobin was instructed by his uncle Hu Jinqing to paint since he was a child, and then went to Japan to study abroad, and entered Kyoto City Art and Craft School, where he studied the western world and learned about the painting style in Kyoto, Japan. I especially admire the "Shore School" painting style of Anshutang. I am good at painting tigers, because I also worked hard to paint tigers, and later I became famous in the art world. Tiger's various modes can be expressed incisively and vividly through the combination of Chinese and western techniques. Double Hu Juan handed down from ancient times 1936 Volume, recorded in the modern book atlas.

Tang Wenxuan: Painting tigers also paints people.

Tang Wenxuan (1925~2009) is a modern painting artist and art educator in China. Tang Wenxuan's Mohu not only has vivid charm, but also has its unique spiritual and emotional sublimation and transcendence.

Tang Wenxuan said: "There are many people who draw tigers, mostly meticulous tigers, with fierce smiles." Or gorgeous fur, rich, so there is a saying that' laity loves tigers'. I draw a tiger in ink, aiming to be refined and elegant. I am a freehand brushwork in ink and wash, and I am bold and unrestrained with my pen. I don't mean to describe the ferocity of tigers, but I focus on the nature as life in the natural ecology. It is more anthropomorphic inner majesty and kindness and love between the same kind and between parents and children. As my spiritual sustenance, express my feelings and forget things. "

crouching tiger and hidden dragon

Why do you feel this way? This stems from the unfortunate experience of Tang Wenxuan in the Cultural Revolution. He believes: "There should be no such relationship between people, no goodwill and love." In that absurd era with class struggle as the key link, some people did become evil and lost the most basic humanity ... but there were always many kind people. I believe that nature is good and basic, and even tiger nature has feelings, as evidenced by Lu Xun's poems. So all the animals I see are childish, cute, playful and human, so they are full of vitality. "

Since 1985, Tang Wenxuan has been obsessed with the research and exploration of Mohu. From complexity to simplicity, from meticulous brushwork to small freehand brushwork, to large freehand brushwork, until the last few strokes, the tiger's shape, structure, dynamics, expression, artistic conception and interest are all drawn instantly and calmly.

Looking at the tiger written by Tang Wenxuan, or the world around him, whistling in the sky; Or the tiger sitting on the dragon plate, thunder and dark life; Or look back at the Central Plains, calm and elegant; Or solemn silence, keep hidden; Or talk to each other, talk softly ... this is not painting a tiger, but writing about people and themselves. Here, the symphony melody of the tiger has already erupted. Next, the agitation deepened.
