与山水“精神往来”——张风塘山水画解读

Appreciation of Zhang Fengtang's Mountains and Waters Paintings

在中国传统的艺术理念中,山水乃至山水画从来就不曾等同于风景概念,它一直是人类与自然精神的栖居地。张风塘的山水画之旅,就是对这样一种精神往来的深刻践行。

In Chinese traditional art conception, mountains and waters are not simply landscapes. They are always the habitat of human beings and natural spirits. The mountains and waters paintings of Zhang Fengtang fulfill this spiritual intercourse. Zhang Fengtang's paintings are first based on his love of natural mountains and waters. This becomes his source of power to continuously create paintings and adjust the direction of his life, as well as the natural evidence for the spiritual level of his paintings. The result of this love is the 'purity' of life and art.
