文人画祖之我见

Ancestor of Literati Painting

明代书画家、理论家董其昌曾提出文人画肇始于唐代王维的观点。针对此论,提出了文人画始祖是东晋顾恺之的新观点。首先从绘画的题材及表现形式两方面排除了两个桎梏人们头脑的陈俗之见,然后从顾恺之的绘画理论与创作成就两个方面着手,论证了他前无古人,开一代画风的文人画始祖地位。

Dang Qi-chang, a painter, calligrapher and theorist of Ming Dynasty, put forward that it was Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty who begun literati painting. Against the contention, this paper argues that the ancestor of literati painting is Gu Kai-zhi in Dong Jin period. First, from pictorial material and form, two vulgar opinions astricting people＇ s mind are abated. Then the writer demonstrates that Gu Kai-zhi begun the style of literati painting and has the status of ancestor for his theory of painting and artistic merits of creative works.
