A senior artist at the level of professor sent me a message and persuaded me to go to an art school to "replenish my blood" and learn modeling and color.
I really can't do the "Chinese" kind of great modesty.

I said back to him, I am not looking down on them, to the phoenix to supplement chicken blood, which will immediately cause problems in the body.

Can you get excited about the phoenix going after chicken blood? The most important thing in Chinese art education is modeling and drawing. I have a hometown famous art educator, he has been pursuing modeling all his life, and finally his art will end there.

It is strange that China's fine arts education also built a palace in the modeling place, so that both the education and the educated entered this sacred and insurmountable palace, and finally this palace became a tomb for the burial of academic creativity!

Today, some people came to Mr. Old tree's poems and paintings. This kind of painting is very interesting, and the appreciation can really make people feel comfortable.

To be honest, it is not easy to achieve such "creativity" in the Chinese art environment.

Then again, this is also a way of cultural thinking that cannot go out of the Chinese style, if the title is higher, this kind of painting can be called "contemporary literati painting", and the name and painting of Lao Shu in the future may be recorded in the history of contemporary Chinese art, because he also showed a sigh of freedom in the side of detention, which is already very great. Of course, it is impossible for the old tree's painting to enter the "world pattern".

I often say that in the record of human culture, China did not have a world-class artist in the 20th century, which is really a very regrettable thing.

What is the reason? I didn't mean to dig up my own pain. This is completely our "big education" has a problem, we owe the people a lot of debt for sound personality education! Chinese people's personality is incomplete, the most important manifestation is that the concept of right and wrong is very confused, this ability to examine the aesthetic value system directly affects the national IQ area, which has become the biggest key for Chinese society to move towards human advanced art and culture. Our aesthetic education has been seriously misplaced not to mention, in terms of its popularization and advanced culture compared to the country is simply very different, here I can not go into depth.

Under the framework of Chinese art theory and creation, there are mainly three insurmountable mountains. The first mountain is Shi Tao, who, at the peak of his traditional technique, has made China's "orthodox" painters cry aloud; The second peak is the eight mountain people, his creative literati paintings so that later people can no longer climb his peak; The third is oil painting, this "painting" has long become the symbol of Western "painting civilization", even in the whole civilization system, no one can surpass this "realism" top after the Renaissance in Europe.

Back to the theory of "replenishing blood". I really regret that my painter friend, who has lived for decades in the advanced cultural capital of mankind, still retains the "cultural lineage" that has adhered to for thousands of years. I have just spread my wings in the "freedom" of art, but a friend shouted for me to go to the gel type "cultural blood bank" to "replenish blood!" Isn't that sad?
