沈括论画的形意观包括四个方面内容:指出绘画的真义是忘形得意,“难可以形器求也”。因艺术创思和作品传神的需要,在创作中实现对客观时空条件的超越。基于忘形得意的“以大观小”的构图设境方式。指出忘形得意并非无形无迹,而是对“形”的内在本质的把握和理解。 Shen Kuo’s theory of form and intention of painting includes four aspects: It points out that the true meaning of painting is forgetful, and that “it is difficult to find a solution”. Due to the need of artistic creation and expressive works, the transcendence of objective time and space conditions is realized in the creation. Based on the plot of “forgetting on the big picture” and “on the big view of the small” It points out that forgetfulness is not an invisible thing, but a grasp and comprehension of the intrinsic nature of a “form”.
