胡佩衡“古法写生”论再议

Rediscussing Hu Peiheng's"Ancient Sketching Technique"Theory

“古法写生”是胡佩衡在唐宋写生“古法”基础上提出的适应中国画现代发展的写生理论主张,其提出与民国时期西画的冲击、旅行写生热潮以及艺术家个人的编辑经历都有密切的关系,也是中国画在写生问题上向自然学习的重要选择。其理论内涵包含了一切以自然为师的绘画活动,包括了对景、参证、游览等各种“写生”形式和各种描绘自然的技法。“古法写生”既符合唐宋画论中“师造化”的传统,经过了民国以来众多山水画家的成功实践,证明它是中国画现代发展和转型的有效路径之一。在20世纪中国画现代转型中,“古法写生”论具有重要的启示意义和参考价值。

The"ancient sketching technique",a sketching theory put forward by Hu Peiheng,takes"ancient techniques"of sketching during the Tang and Song Dynasties as its basis and meets the needs of Chinese painting development in the modern times.Its proposal was closely related to the impact brought by western paintings during the Republic of China,the craze for travel sketching and Hu's own experience as a magazine editor,and was an important choice of sketching and Chinese painting as a whole to learn from nature.This theory covers all painting activities that take nature as a teacher,including various"sketching"forms such as landscape sketching,referencing and travelling,and various techniques for depicting nature.The"ancient sketching technique"theory is in line with the tradition of"learning from nature"in painting theories of the Tang and Song Dynasties,and the successful practice of many landscape painters since the Republic of China has proved that the theory is one of the effective paths for the development and transformation of Chinese painting in the modern era,in which it has provided important inspiration and reference.
