画梅浅议

On Drawing Plum Blossoms

自古以来梅花受到文人雅士的喜爱,明清时文人画兴起,以梅花为题材的水墨画在中国画中占有相当重要的地位。笔者在梅花画创作中试图借梅抒情、借梅达意,使作品产生艺术感染力,力求达到文人画的“推陈出新”与艺术形式、诗情、画意、书味的高度融洽。

From ancient times to the present, plum blossoms have taken the fancy of refined scholars. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties painting of man-of-letters have sprung up and ink and wash taking plum blossoms as subjects occupy very important place in traditional Chinese paintings. My creation of plum blossom paintings tries to take advantage of plum blossoms to express my emotion and convey my ideas, making paintings produce artistic appeal. Besides I try to make explorations on the bringing forth the new through the old of paintings of man-of-letters and the harmony of artistic form, qualities suggestive of poetry or painting and book interests.
