论易元吉的绘画艺术

On Yi Yuanji's Art

易元吉是宋代花鸟画坛不可忽略的一位宫廷画家,他在宋代花鸟画革新中的过渡性影响更是举足轻重。在绘画题材上,他另辟蹊径,以深山大川中的猿猴鹿獐为主要描绘对象;在绘画技法上更是秉承花鸟画中写生的传统,以此逐渐扭转了宋初画院以黄画为宗的因循守旧之风。

Yi Yuanji was a court painter who could not be ingnored in the Bird-and-Flower Painting field in the Song Dynasty,and as a transitional figure,his influence during the innovation of the Bird-and-Flower Painting in Song was even significant. On painting objects,he made animals such as apes,monkeys,deers and roes living in the big mountains as his main painting objects,which was quite different from others at his time; on painting techniques,he followed the tradition of painting from life,and changed the old fash-ion in the painting academy in early Song that followed Huang Jucai's style.
