石若莲花——华山与中国画写生

Rocks that Look Like a Lotus:The Huashan Mountain and Sketching from Life in Chinese Painting

华山以"雄""奇""险""秀"的风貌名满天下。华山自然也就成为众多艺术家比拟和描绘的对象。华山不仅是中国人精神的一种象征,同时也是中国人对生生不息的生命精神的诠释。华山同时也是中国画家用之不完、取之不尽的艺术创作宝库,成为诸多艺术家追寻的圣山,华山自然成为艺术家的写生之地。就"写生"而言,"写"是有一定文化背景的笔墨抒写,即所谓的表现方法。"生"是对画面效果的一种要求,"生"也有生机、生气、生意、生命之意。"写生"就是用"写"的方式,来表现世间万物生生不息的生命之意。

The Huashan Mountain enjoys a world-wide reputation for its“grandeur”,“peculiarity”,“dangerousness”and“elegance,”and it has thus become the object of comparison and description of many artists.It is not only a symbol of the spirit of the Chinese people,but also the Chinese people’s interpretation of the spirit of life in endless succession.At the same time,the Huashan Mountain,as an inexhaustible treasure for art creation,has become a holy mountain that attracts many artists.It naturally becomes a place where they make sketches.In terms of“sketching from life”,“sketching”refers to depiction in ink and wash in a certain cultural context,or in other words,the so-called method of expression.And“life”here refers to a requirement for the effect of the picture.“Life”has the meanings of vitality,liveliness,and lifelikeness.In the Chinese cultural context,“sketching from life”has the literary meaning of expressing the endless life of everything in the world in the way of sketching.
