深心托毫素 怀抱观古今——《文墨相兼——杨宝林书法作品集》读后

Some Comments on Yang Baolin's Calligraphy Works

杨宝林先生是学者型书法家。在书法理论和书法实践上提倡"文墨相兼""与古为徒",针对当下书法乱象主张书家要能诗能文独立创作书写内容,书法要讲求实用,以克服当下书法只重形式不重内容的弊端。在书法实践上,他的书风既有二王风骨,又有帖之流美和碑之沉雄,实现了他自觉的尚古追求。

Yang Baolin is a scholar-type calligrapher.He advocates to give consideration to both calligraphy and text writing and to learn from the ancients.He proposes that a calligrapher should be able to write literary works independently.Currently,the malpractice of emphasizing the form and despising the content of the works should be overcome.In practice,his calligraphic works have the style of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi as well as the fluent beauty of the models and the profoundness of the inscription on stele,demonstrating his pursuit for the ancients.
