A foreign "graffiti" sells for 400 million yuan, but why is China calligrapher's "graffiti" not recognized by everyone?

The painting form of "scribbling" seems quite popular abroad. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, it will be called "graffiti", and artists call it abstract painting. A famous foreign artist once painted a picture called blackboard, and finally auctioned it for 450 million yuan.

In fact, in our eyes, this is just a child's painting. A picture is full of chalk circles. I don't understand why such a painting can be sold at such a high price, but people just question whether anyone will really buy it. I didn't criticize the painter of this painting, but if I were Wang Dongling, the situation would be different. Since he started his own "disorderly book", many people criticized him, and even some professional calligraphers. Why?

Let's talk about who this Wang Dongling is first. Professor and doctoral supervisor of China Academy of Fine Arts. He is not only the instructor of many students in education, but also plays an important role in the book association. As we said today, "scribbling" is one of his writing techniques. The so-called scribbling means writing with a brush, then destroying the structure of Chinese characters and forming a unique writing method. We can't see what he wrote anyway. Maybe it is abstract writing, just like graffiti abroad!

But most people don't buy Wang Dongling's innovation. Many people say that he desecrated traditional calligraphy and destroyed its beauty. The reason why he was criticized so badly was nothing more than that he was a calligrapher with a certain reputation and status, and wrote calligraphy in the name of a calligrapher who was unknown to everyone. Of course everyone disagrees.

People who know calligraphy must know that calligraphy is the traditional culture of our country and is too important for Chinese culture. Calligraphy is called calligraphy because it has certain rules and statutes. Can calligraphy be called calligraphy without these?

In Wang Dongling's eyes, his own practice is innovation, but this innovation has broken the unique rules and regulations of calligraphy. As a calligrapher, I have studied calligraphy for a long time and naturally know that some things cannot be broken. But he is a maverick. If he were not a calligrapher, it would be nice to create this kind of art. I believe that not many people criticize him. However, as an important figure in the book association, this is really inappropriate.

Wang Dongling doesn't seem to care about public criticism at all. He once replied, "People laugh at me because I'm crazy. I laugh at others because I can't see through it." I have to say that he is really optimistic. Although I don't know whether his "scribbling" can be called art, I know that it can never be called calligraphy. what do you think?
