“水墨”的出现,应当是在毛笔和墨的发明之际,这说起来就很久远了。但将它作为一种独立的艺术语言体系运用在艺术创造中,应该是在宋以后了,尤其是明清文人画的集大成,将这种语言体系推到极致,至今不衰,依然具有很强的生命力。 在读过了刘秉贤的花鸟画作品之后,感到他在两个方面所做努力,颇值得称道:一是对“笔墨”的认识和运用,一是对“随意性”的气氛。由于他所做的这些努力带有普遍性,所以也很值得进一步讨论。 The appearance of “ink and wash” should be at the time of the invention of writing brush and ink, which is very long ago. However, when it is used as an independent art language system in the creation of art, it should be after the Song Dynasty, especially the works of the literati paintings in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The system of language has been pushed to the extreme and has not declined so far, Vitality After reading the works of Liu Bingxian’s flowers and birds, he felt that his efforts in two aspects are quite commendable: First, understanding and application of “brush and ink”; and first, the atmosphere of “randomness.” Due to the universality of these efforts he has made, it is also worth further discussion.
