influence of later generations

Wu Changshuo is an influential master in China painting. Under the background of the integration and communication of traditional culture, Wu Changshuo has also been affected, and his greatest feature and advantage is accommodation and transcendence. Although the times have a great impetus to his life, his own hard work is also an important reason for his success. Different from traditional literati painters, Wu Changshuo has four unique skills of poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing. He can learn from others' strengths, be eclectic, and integrate the four unique skills. In particular, he has created a brand-new artistic style and atmosphere with the most traditional artistic factors and aesthetic ideals. Wu Changshuo not only realized that painting embodies the spirit of wildness and elegance, but also pushed Chinese painting to a new level, which had a far-reaching impact on modern China painting.

Wu Changshuo is best at freehand brushwork flowers, and he is greatly influenced by Xu Wei and Badashan people. Because of his profound knowledge of calligraphy and seal cutting, he integrated calligraphy and seal cutting, knife handling, composition and posture into painting, forming a unique painting style full of stone flavor. Wu Changshuo painted with "Cao Zhuan Shu" in calligraphy; The line skill is extremely deep. Although the texture of its lines seems to be not rich and practical from the perspective of object painting, it is precisely because of abandoning the fetters of shape that Wu Changshuo's paintings entered the hall of "meaning", thus forming a "freehand brushwork" expression that influenced the modern China painting world.

As the founder of Shanghai style painting, his art has had a great and far-reaching impact on the development of modern painting in China.

anecdotes about people

Love plum and love dog meat

The Lao family is a Tangqi Wangzu. In the early Republic of China, Lao Shaolin served as a servant in the State Council, then retired to his hometown and returned to Tangqi. I heard that some prosperous families in the town, such as Wang family, Yao family, Wu family and Lu family, have many contacts with Mr. Wu Changshuo, and there are many masters' paintings and calligraphy, Mo Bao, so he also asked Wu to ask for words and paintings. But when the master heard Lao's official title, he refused to give an excuse, so he was anxious to snoop around about Mr.'s temperament hobby and use his head.

At the end of winter this year, after the snow fell, Mr. Wu Changshuo went to Chaoshan for snow in Xun Mei as usual. Walking to the foot of Chaoshan Mountain, I saw a newly built grass hut in Meilin by the roadside, which was quite elegant. Moreover, in addition to the rich floral fragrance floating in the cold wind, there was also an attractive fragrance, so I stopped unconsciously. At this time, I saw an old man strolling out of the hut, nodding his surname with Wu, and immediately invited him to sit inside. Mr. Wang saw that he was polite and talked well, so he went in to chat. Soon, the old man said that he happened to have game, so he might as well have a drink. As a result, although it was not game, it was Mr. Wang's favorite dog meat. As a result, the two talked over a cup of tea, which was very speculative.

Two years later, Lao Shaolin celebrated his birthday. Relatives and friends who came to congratulate him found that many excellent works of Wu Changshuo's calligraphy and painting had been hung in the hall.

Feeling the affection

Wu Changshuo first took his wife's surname Zhang, died of hunger in a mutiny shortly after her wedding, and then renewed her employment as Mrs. Shi of Linghu at the age of 29. I have six children. Wu Changshuo suffered a lot in his early life. At the age of 17, he fled with his father because of the mutiny, and even had the painful experience of almost starving to death. During this period of displaced life, Wu Changshuo lost a lot of flesh and blood relatives, which made him know more about the value of family affection, so Wu Changshuo's family life was warm and harmonious after he got married. "Ruthlessness is not necessarily a real hero. How can Reiko not be a husband?" This artist, who is famous for his bold and fierce painting style, shows more affection and tenderness when facing his children.

satirizing Hatong

One day in the early years of the Republic of China, Hatong, a famous real estate agent in Shanghai, celebrated his birthday and wanted to ask Wu Changshuo to draw a three-foot vertical picture for him to set off the birthday atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Wu Changshuo had long heard that Harbin started his business by selling opium. Besides, he always hated these people who were rampant in the foreign exchange. So Wu Changshuo decided not to paint.

At that time, Ha Tong was a director of the British and French Concessions. He knew that people like Wu Changshuo were worth wooing, so on the one hand, he lured a large sum of money, on the other hand, he asked Wu Xingfen and Sha Fuqing, who were slightly less prestigious in Shanghai painting circles at that time, to intercede with Wu. Because of the sympathy of the same people, I made a painting of cypress trees. When the painting was finished, Harbin had already come to pick it up in person. But when he saw that the cypress leaves were painted bigger than those in nature, he asked, "The cypress leaves are so big, is there any meaning here?" Wu Changshuo said, "This is a strange cypress, but you might as well look at it upside down." Ha Tong looked at it backwards and said, "It's a grape." At this time, Wu Changshuo seriously said, "That's what I mean." Ha Tong asked inexplicably, "Why do you want to paint backwards?" At this time, Wu Changshuo couldn't help laughing and said, "I drew according to your logic. You like to turn black into white and good into bad. Of course, the picture I gave you has to be hung upside down." Hearing this, Harbin laughed and said it well, but he was very angry at heart.

Title of the bronze statue

Wu Changshuo was the first president of Hangzhou Xiling Printing Society. Asakura Wenfu, a Japanese sculptor, loved Wu Changshuo's calligraphy and stone inscriptions. He came to China in the ninth year of the Republic of China (192) and made an unforgettable friendship with Wu Changshuo. After returning home, asakura Wenfu used the method of washing and refining to create a bust of Wu Changshuo, and personally sent the statue to Hangzhou. After Wu Changshuo saw it, he was amazed and wrote an inscription after the bronze statue: "Non-Changli poems, chanting wooden laymen; Non-Pei cen monument, calling stone son of man; Casting me with gold, and I am not Fan Li, I dare to ask the wise scholar-officials of the other capital what their intentions are. Xin You's August Changshuo drama title is seventy-eight years old. " Between the lines reveals the broad mind of the master of art.
