弘一法师书道探析

Research on Master Hongyi’s Calligraphy

弘一法师的书法浑然天成,字里行间褪尽人间烟火,透露着艺术哲理,体现着他对书法的深刻感悟。在书法习字观方面,他推崇研究《说文解字》,认为字一笔一画都有其来源,并重视书法作品的整体空间构造。他将东西方艺术理论进一步融合。后来在悟道之中,他逐步褪去人间烟火味的书法,摆脱了笔墨的表现,在书法创作中走向一种大象无形之境。最终,法师悟出,最上乘的字或最上乘的艺术在于从学习佛法中得来,这也正是他的书道。

Master Hongyi’s calligraphy is natural, with human feelings fading between the lines, reveals his artistic philosophy and reflects his profound understanding. In the view of calligraphy practice, he highly praised Shuo Wen Jie Zi and believed that every stroke of characters has its source. Further, he integrated the eastern and western art theories and talked about the overall spatial structure of calligraphy works.Later, in the process of enlightment, he gradually got rid of the restriction of the ink and pen, and went to a big invisible realm in the celligraphy creation. Finally, the mage realized that the best character or art comes from learning Buddhism, which is practiced in his calligraphy.
