古雅娟秀 气韵超然——董其昌绘画中的笔墨之美

Classic Elegance Detached Character——the Beauty of "Brush and Ink" in Dong Qi-chang"s Painting

董其昌作为中国古代文人画的代表,在绘画实践上以推重笔墨形式之美而独树一帜,其“古雅娟秀、气韵超然”的艺术风格,影响了明末及以后的中国绘画朝笔墨形式发展。董其昌一方面将书法艺术之笔法巧妙地融入到绘画中,生发出刚柔、苍秀、遒媚、生熟、巧拙兼具的视觉美感;另一方面创造性地将古人善作自然丘壑并以此为审美标准的美学观移位于笔墨,诠释创作者的情感精神,辩证地区别出自然真实与艺术真实。董其昌的作品虽不求形似,以意取之,却能以笔墨之趣表现出自然大象之美。

Dong Qichang, a representative of ancient Chinese literati＇s painting, flies his own colors by his stress in the beauty of form. His classic elegance and detached character pushes Chinese painting in the late Ming Dynasty to ＂brush and ink＂ and ever after. On the one hand he applies the techniques of calligraphy to painting and produces the visual beauty such as toughness and gentleness, grace and vigor, proficiency and inexperience, dexterity and clumsiness. On the other he creatively applies the traditional concept of landscape painting to his works, which embodies his emotional spirit and distinguishes the difference between natural truth and artistic truth. His painting manifests natural beauty with brush and ink by means of expressing meaning instead of form similarity.
