"The Paper·Art Review" just learned that the well-known painter Huang Yonghou died at 19 pm on August 7 in Hefei, Anhui at the age of 91. Zhu Qingzhan said: "You need to read a lot of books to draw this kind of painting."

"The Paper·Art Review" (www.thepaper.cn) just learned that the well-known painter Huang Yonghou died at 19 pm on August 7 in Hefei, Anhui at the age of 91. Liu Haisu once commented on Huang Yonghou and said, "The literature is real, the characters are ancient, and the painting is strange." Zhu Qizhan said, "You need to read a lot of books to draw this kind of painting." Using a brush to think, pay attention to the soul, pay attention to the present, and pay attention to social issues are the aesthetic characteristics of Huang Yonghou's paintings.

Huang Yonghou and essayist Chen Siyi once opened a column of literary and paintings in magazines such as "Reading", which criticized the current problems and had a great impact on .

Huang Yonghou and his brother Huang Yongyu are both well-known painters, but their styles are quite different. According to industry insiders, the two brothers had not had each other for more than ten years, but finally made up, which was hard to describe. Huang Yonghou has a stronger literary popularity.

Painter Huang Yonghou (1928-2018)

At 10pm on August 7, the family of painter Huang Yonghou cried:

The father of the old man Huang Yonghou passed away at 19:00 on August 7

Yellow River

Huang Feng'anChe cried

Old friends gathered, from left: Xu Linlu , Huang Miaozi, Huang Yongyu, Huang Yonghou

Huang Yonghou was born in 1928, Tujia, and from Phoenix, Hunan. The second in the Huang family was ranked second. In his early years, his brother Huang Yongyu left his hometown to study, he took on the responsibility of the "first son" of the Huang family. Later, he was called to join the army because he painted propaganda posters of the Anti-Japanese War, entered the military academy, and served as a lieutenant. After the founding of New China, his brother Huang Yongyu was introduced to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. In 1960, after graduating from Central American, he went to teach at Hefei University of Technology in Anhui. Huang Yonghou has a lot of books and reads a lot. He belongs to the "literati painting" school in Chinese painting . In addition to a small number of landscapes and flowers, his works are mostly based on historical themes and characters in folk legends. He once wrote in his paintings "It's all like the ancients, what's the use for me?" to describe himself. Liu Haisu once commented on Huang Yonghou and said, "The literature is genuine, the characters are ancient, and the painting is strange." Zhu Qingzhan said, "You need to read a lot of books to draw such paintings." Using brushes to think, pay attention to the soul, pay attention to the present, and pay attention to social issues are the aesthetic characteristics of Huang Yonghou's paintings.

Huang Yonghou's painting "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"

He once said, "Aren't a painter a social person? If you don't even ask, that machete will not chop the painter's neck? If you want to read, "The Analects of Confucius", "Zhuangzi", and "Records of the Grand Historian" can't handle this. You have to find another way to find a book to read, read newspaper reviews and listen to how Gao Ming evaluates it. My paintings are like the current reviews, and I don't watch it. . If you want to make a fuss, you don’t need to learn. Recently, I read Le Pen’s “The Moon” to look at my own shadow. Look, how many people escaped from the “Moon”? Especially those who are born in the army like me can be said to be born with humans.” ”

A scholar told The Paper that Mr. Huang Yonghou particularly likes “The New Words of the World” and has painted many subjects about “The New Words of the World”. He once said: "It is very difficult to achieve the taste of "New Words of the World". The Ming and Qing dynasties, like Zhang Dai , is so well written. This society makes people unable to understand a happy life and poetry. If you can't write something like Li Yishan, you can't blame you, because life forces you. We are very easy to be slaves. In the past, we were slaves of totalitarian politics, but now we are slaves of money."

Mr. Huang Yonghou's work " Ruan Ji "

Facing the popular image of "more money and stupid people" in the painting world, Huang Yonghou still retains the ancient style. He said: "No one in this world is sorry for me. But I am not eye-catching at all, and my speech is absolutely not amazing." Huang Yongyu said in "Eighty Years of Morning Bell and Down Drum" written for him: "His style was formed under the pressure of extreme spiritual and material fantasy for decades. I call it "the secluded posture" and it means the sentence "the secluded posture does not enter the youth field" in Lu You's lyrics. The pain of a homeless country cannot get the answer to this style of painting. Lu You's readers and Yonghou's audience, the deeper understanding of the two, the deeper pain they get, cannot be relieved and cannot be comforted."

Executive Vice President of the Chinese Writers' Calligraphy and Painting Academy, said that Mr. Huang Yonghou is a painter and writer with thoughts, passions and sense of justice. During his stay in Beijing, he visited many times and benefited a lot.

Mr. Huang Yonghou's works

Zhang Ruitian believes that as a painter and writer, Huang Yonghou's paintings and literary talent are few. "In my eyes, Huang Yonghou is a Chinese painter and a painter among literati. Therefore, his paintings can be seen everywhere in interesting and meditation. Every word in his article reflects knowledge and philosophy. He often reads Huang Yonghou's articles in magazines such as "Bookhouse" and "Reading" and other magazines. The paintings are bright and cold, the text is heavy and profound, reflecting experience and insightful. As a painter and writer, Huang Yonghou has never been willing to be a tool, even a tool with golden light. This is a reason why Huang Yonghou likes to write long postscripts on paintings. Long postscripts are the process of Huang Yonghou observing reality and reflecting on himself, and it is the expression of Huang Yonghou's unwillingness to sink and rejecting kitsch. "

Huang Yonghou's student Chen Yuan said: "These days , I kept thinking that when the weather gets cooler, I would go to visit the old man. I didn't expect to receive bad news, my hands kept shaking, and I didn't want to believe that this was true. The old man who taught me freedom left at 7 pm on August 7. He was a junior brother for ten years, and his love was like a father and son. On August 8, I would go to Hefei to see the old man off for the last journey."

publisher Li Huaiyu recalled that Huang Yonghou's home in Tongzhou Tongzhou was quite simple, which was very different from Huang Yongyu's luxury house "Wanhetang" in Tongzhou. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Huang Yongyu's words: "The person who flips through your things must be a genius. If you want to think of it, you can quickly knock him away." When I entered the living room, I saw Huang Yongyu's paintings at a glance. I have seen two similar subjects at Fan Yong's house. The inscription of this painting is: "Apart from borrowing books and selling wine, nothing has to disturb the ministers and ministers. My second brother has this kind of charm." There is a couplet on both sides, which is Nie Gannu's poem: "There are many hidden pains in middle age, and the old age is quiet and empty." Huang Yongyu and Huang Yonghou have not interacted with each other for nearly 20 years, and later their brothers reconciled, which is hard to describe.

Mr. Huang Yonghou's work "Banqiao"

essayist Chen Siyi previously wrote an article to recall the origin of his relationship with Huang Yonghou's literary and painting cooperation in "Reading" magazine and other magazines: Huang Yonghou is Mr. Huang Yongyu's second brother, four years apart, and is also a famous painter. The people in their old Huang family are very unique. I met Mr. Huang by chance, and a friend invited me to visit him. He went from Anhui to Beijing and lived in Chinese Painting Research Institute in Zizhuqiao. Looking at his paintings, he has a very unique personality. When talking to him, people are like his paintings and their personality is revealed. When he talks about happiness, he will laugh. Speaking of his paintings, he would suddenly feel excited: "How about it, come one!" Before he finished speaking, he had already gotten up to spread paper, lifted his pen, and started to draw. "The cooperation with him started with " Liaozhai Search Tu". He first drew a few paintings found in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", called "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". I came up with some meanings from his paintings, either the same or the same, or the same, and sometimes sang against stage plays. Later, he drew the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and each picture had a postscript. I think his Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest was very inspiring, but the inscriptions on the picture were limited after all, and it was not easy to understand, so he decided to do it himself. Zhang, wrote an article for each picture, each with two or three thousand words, and sent it to Mr. Huang. He was very happy, so he published it in "Outlook". Because I painted the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, I wanted to continue talking about "The New Words of the World". Mr. Huang promised to make pictures for each article, and I was of course overjoyed. Later, the collection was " Wei and Jin style ". Later, in Hunan, I asked Mr. Huang if he wanted to talk about "The Scholars" together, so there was the "Misunderstanding of the Scholars" that was published in "Book House". "

Mr. Huang Yonghou's works "Wen Chang Hua Sheng"

"In 2006, Mr. Ding Cong was ill, and my cooperation with Mr. Ding Cong could not be interrupted. At first, because readers could not see this column for one or two issues, they came to ask "Reading": Are Chen and Ding in trouble? The editor was afraid of causing misunderstandings and asked me if I could ask another painter to continue. So, he sought Mr. Huang's opinion and was willing to follow this column. Mr. Huang has been working with me for twenty years and got to know each other, so he smiled and said: You ran the first stick with a 70-year-old man, but now you have found an 80-year-old man to run the second stick. What's that? I still agreed readily. The column of "Poetry and Draft" continued after two issues.However, "Ding Hua" has been changed to "Huang Hua", and the style of the text has not changed, and the style of the picture has been changed from Mr. Ding Cong's fine brushwork to Mr. Huang Yonghou's colorful ink freehand painting. The text and pictures collaborated with Mr. Huang were later compiled into "Suddenly Thinking". In this way, the pictures and texts that I collaborated with Mr. Huang, have published the pictures and texts including "Skills from a Chinese Studio", "Misunderstanding of the Scholars", "The Style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties", "Suddenly Thinking of it". "

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ? It is very important for a person who paints. If you don’t have any advice, what kind of paintings are drawn.

Of course, some people’s paintings are not very good, but they also make a lot of suggestions all day long. The purpose is just to be afraid that people don’t know what they are good at painting, and that little effort will end up.

So I think publishing a picture album is the best way to make people understand their own ideas. There is no need to say anything. It can be honest and let people see through their hearts and hearts - what ingredients have they eaten? How much ink has you drunk? What situations have you played? What moves have you used?

Mao Zedong went to the Soviet Union to make a treaty with Stalin, the theme was "both good-looking and delicious"; Tolstoy praised Chekov's article in person as "both good-looking and useful". Both big names mentioned cultural virtual and real things. Many years ago, he worked on the "Four Cleansings" in the countryside, and also mentioned the two political concepts of "drink thin and eat dry", which refers to the close relationship between spirit and material.

Although painting is a happy act that uses both the brain and hands, it is really a death zone that has experienced the ice and has been able to see the light of day again. For decades, people have been stuck in chaos In logical life. "Going deep into life" is a heavy silence; "Without investigation and research, there is no right to speak." Peng Dehuai, who has the right to speak, has brought bad luck, "You must care about national affairs." He really needs to care, but Ye Gong is as frightening as a dragon. The destruction of philosophical categories, the cultural and stylistic functions of "carrying the way" and "speaking the aspirations" in literature and art have become opposing weapons of class struggle. Liu Zongyuan " Jiangxue " poem says: "Thousands of birds fly away, thousands of paths are destroyed, the lonely boat is in decline, the man in the hat is alone fishing for the snow of the cold river. "In this scene, the remaining fishing Guo Moruo , Haoran... There may be two or three or two dolphin-like literary and artistic figures in the sea, and they do not "paint" the "time" to create the classic "Shi Na Card".

Mr. Huang Yonghou's works

Houdi is also nearly 80 years old. We all laughed and said that we have never guided our creation with aesthetics. In aesthetics, we have Dagoras, Plato, Kant , Hegel, to Marx, Lenin, Zhu Guangqian ... has never been mentioned. When did people feel the first time "beauty" when they come to the ground? No one has paid attention to this great proposition at all. People themselves, including aestheticians, know how beautiful they are? Perception has no place yet, which is not as good as the four-character slang words "food and sex" in Mencius. , Aestheticians do not talk about the beginning of beauty in people, what is the use of him?

Houdi’s paintings for decades have chosen a path of “smile”. A poem by Tian Mingyu, a poet of the South Society, talks about phoenix culture. The first sentence of “orchid in the deep valley” refers to this temperament.

tells a little interesting thing that everyone knows. More than 80 years ago, our family was from Fenghuang Old in western Hunan. Ximenpo moved back to his former residence in Wenxing Street for a few years. Not long after his birth, I was worshipped by Confucius in the Confucian Temple across the slanting street. I was young and I was very proud to have a pound of fresh pork cut from the "sacrifice" rack. I returned to Guchun Bookstore and asked my family to pick up Yonghou's second brother and asked him to lick the spiritual object brought by the Confucius Temple with his little tongue. He said that such an extraordinary lick would be of wonderful benefits to his future cultural growth.

Think about the past, what a warm scene this couple was about to be persistent and passionate about culture! Their world at that time was so pure, full of the fragrance of books...

A few years later, the political changes in western Hunan all collapsed. My father went away from home to plan things, and my mother took on the burden of supporting the five boys and grandmother. I was lucky enough to follow my cousin to study at Fujian Xiamen Jimei Middle School , which was considered to be a step into heaven. In the distant and anxious world, in the twelve-year-old young mind, I only know how to use tears to accompany my longing, and recognize that it is an endless sea of ​​endless misery.

I also sent some small books and picture albums to my younger brothers. Unexpectedly, my second brother actually drew on the large wall of the yard. How old is he, he climbed alone on a ladder to do his homework at a high altitude. Is this a coincidence or is Confucius appearing? Of course, it attracted the praise of the elderly local literati, uncles and aunts. The material deprivation brings spiritual satisfaction to the grandmother and mother, and every day, he happily receives groups of visitors. With a child with a brilliant culture, any time and space will be seen by others. The hundreds of years of Guchun Bookstore has continued to be incense again, which is so strange!

Mr. Huang Yonghou's murals when he was nine years old

The old generation of military personnel in western Hunan, local troops always have the obligation to foster a group of alternate literati and writers. Nominally, he was a soldier. In fact, I never touched a gun, and I never fucked it once. I hang out with my uncles and uncles in the army, wandering around with the army. This is true for cousin Shen Congwen, and so is Yonghou's second brother.

The second brother of the second brother has the opportunity to do professional art work in the "Jiang Defense Team" (I still can't understand what kind of troops this is) and has the same nature as the work I worked in the drama team back then, reading, writing, painting, and cultivating myself. Our brothers, and the fourth brother Yongguang who followed us in the future, have been entangled in the fate of painting and cannot get in touch with each other.

Says bitter, which Chinese people have not suffered in a century? It's so bitter! I won't talk about it here.

Among the brothers, Yonghou's second brother is the most bitter. He was sick when he was a child and almost died once. Because of a high fever, he had already been caught in the banana leaves and came back to life. His ears were damaged and his family called him "the second child" and affected his development. He also called him "the second child". Later, he grew up. He was neither deaf nor short, and was the most beautiful and chic among our brothers. Many people said that he looked like Premier Zhou. As adults, he had the heaviest burden, with many children and frequent illnesses, but his friends always praised his strange and absurd generosity of helping others, so his family gave him the name "Second Tide" (meaning of a psychopath).

His style was formed under the pressure of extreme spiritual and material fantasy for decades. I call it "就氱", which means the sentence "就氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱氱� The pain of homelessness cannot be obtained from this style of painting. Lu You’s readers and long-lasting audiences, the deeper the understanding of the two, the deeper the pain they get, can’t be relieved or comforted.

"The secluded posture does not enter the youth field" naturally does not follow or cater to it, and does not envy people who understand it.

Xu Wei, Bada and Van Gogh lived at that time and how many times did people know and know each other? Because they are profound, they are hard, unable to bite in one bite, and cannot chew in ten bites. They must have good teeth, eyesight and appetite to be able to handle it, and it takes time to take, so their secluded postures are lonely, even like the light years of a star, giving benefits to distant future generations.

Listen to loyal friends who often mention a great man and read a lot of books, and they are very knowledgeable. I always smile and say I don't agree. I said I have read all the books he read, and I have read foreign translation books that he has not read for decades, and it is impossible for him to read. When it comes to reading, I am at least twice as many as him. During the Cultural Revolution, he talked about "Gone with Gone" and "Red and Black" as if he had discovered a new continent, and he also wanted to educate others with relish. To be honest, that's just my teenager reading material, nothing good! He also particularly likes to talk about the most unlearning words of intellectuals.How can a person have the final say whether he has knowledge or not?

Those who can truly be called scholars should be like Qian Zhongshu , Chen Yinke , Wu Mi , Ye Gongchao, Weng Dujian , Lin Geng, Qian Mu , Zhu Guangqian... These masters have a systematic consolidation, clear organization, and good memory. In front of them, we cannot even meet the qualifications of "Ruzi".

If you stand in the position of a painter, when it comes to studying, it is enough to be studying in the next years and years of life. If you are not a scholar, why do you need so much knowledge? Why do you remember so much?

Scholars read, a system of points, lines and surfaces. Our knowledge comes from books all the way. Like Qianlong's instructions, we are only at the level of "knowing". But the leader was more responsible and serious than the later leader who circled the official documents. When painting, you must not be able to reflect on the front and back of knowledge. The second brother has a lot of book knowledge in his writing and writing. He is very clever and appropriate, and has become the soul lifeline in the painting. He interprets not only solos, but also multi-level symphony.

The painter is like a shepherd, sometimes shepherd shepherd, sometimes shepherd horse, sometimes shepherd cattle, sometimes shepherd tiger. As long as the dispatch is well-organized and the driving is moderate, there is no problem with the horse. Even if you are happy, it may not be necessary to ride on the tiger's back and run. It is not easy to be a shepherd. Thousands of ducks rushed into the storm, and there are times when there is no way to get back the ocean.

There are many strange phenomena in culture, which can be understood and felt. It is very laborious to tell the truth, and some are simply incomprehensible. For example, Peking Opera has Yu Shuyan , Yan Jupeng, Xi Xiaobo , and Zhou Xinfang . Yu Shuyan had his voice back at a certain stage. His singing style was almost a screaming screaming with phlegm while creating precious calm emotions: Song Gongming was sitting in the yard of Wulong. Could it be that, what about mother? Beating and scolding is unkind? That "Ah-Mom-" is stuck in his throat and can't come out, oh! Just that little bit of faint information that was struggling in the throat, I wonder how many dream souls of the star-chasing clans were poured out? From the acoustic point of view of music temples, this is simply a joke. When talking about Jupeng, Zhou Xinfang, and Xi Xiaobo, who are extremely elegant, all have their own superb realms.

Mr. Huang Yonghou's work "Yan Si Becomes an Official"

paintings also have thresholds for various types and numbers. This is true for foreign countries and China. I think the development and changes of Foreign Impressionism to this day may have fallen out of the line and become old. This is the case. The actual situation is just as the old Chinese saying goes, "The old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come." It doesn't matter if I'm not used to it. I am a young man who has a particularly good appetite in the 1940s and 1950s. I am an admirer of the eighties who like old Peking Opera and support avant-garde art.

You ask me why I like Bada? Like Turus Radrake? Like miro and picasso ? Like Broke? I can understand. If I were given time, I might be able to make some sense, but why do you have the right to make me say the truth? Some arts do not need to be explained at all, such as music, Chinese freehand painting, and avant-garde art!

An artist has no longer had good or bad problems when he reaches his maturity stage. He only looks at the audience's personal hobbies and whether he likes them. For example, if I like to buy some Qi Baishi , I rarely collect Huang Binhong 's paintings; it's not that Huang Binhong's paintings are not good, but I don't like them.

Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu , I heard about Mei Lanfang; no one dared to spread rumors that I, Huang, once said that Cheng Yanqiu was not good.

Some people say how many Qi Baishi are not as good as one Lu Xun, which seems to be saying that eighteen Li Kui cannot beat one Zhang Fei. If Zhang Fei and Li Kui live in a historical period, they can make an appointment to pass the problem and discuss the problem. The basis of their possibility of fighting is that they are both warriors.

Lu Xun and Qi Baishi are both cultural giants. In terms of revolutionary thought, Lu Xun was amazing, but Lu Xun could not draw. There is no way to say that Qi Baishi's good revolutionary painting is good.Two people have achieved their own achievements in their respective fields, and it is not easy to compare. It is as if salt and sugar are beneficial to others, but no one would say that twenty-five pounds and four ounces of sugar are not as good as one pound of salt.

The characters of Houdi are often sad and bleak, which makes the viewer feel heavy and heavy. Sometimes they see heavy and reckless like iron ox, with unimaginable humor, which may be counted on the genetic factor of their parents. His father's talent in this regard has influenced his cousin Shen Congwen (Preface to "Shen Congwen's Novels Collection", People's Literature Publishing House ), and his son is naturally no problem.

The second brother will be eighty next year. My brother is almost chasing each other in terms of age. To use the title of Mr. Hu Feng’s poem as a slogan - "Time, go forward!"

December 31, 2006 3:30 am. Half of the mountain in Hong Kong.

Huang Yonghou: Apart from borrowing books and selling wine, nothing disturbs the ministers and ministers

Text/Chen Yuan

"Apart from borrowing books and selling wine, nothing disturbs the ministers and ministers. My second brother has this kind of charm." This is the inscription by a great painter's brother on a painting for his younger brother, who is also a great painter.

The elder brother is Huang Yongyu, and the younger brother is Huang Yonghou. In addition to talking about the character of the second son of the Huang family, this inscription also reveals another message: he likes books. In the circle, the younger generation who were later than him all care about this cute Huang family's second son calling him "Old Man Huang". Similarly, it is well known that Old Man Huang likes books in the circle. In his residence, the wall between him and his bedroom is his study room, and the studio is connected to the study room.

The person who painted is also a scholar

In 1985, 57-year-old Huang Yonghou came to Beijing. At that time, he had no conditions and was traveling around at a friend's house. I lived in many places in the middle, and I also had my own house and one-bedroom apartment. "At that time, the study and living rooms were all together, and the painting was the same, which made me feel very wonderful." Later, after getting better, Huang Yonghou bought his own house near Tongzhou Luhe Hospital, which was 85 square meters. The living room, living room and study were finally separated. I lived there for five or six years before I moved to where I am now living.

"I actually don't have many books, and there are not even thread-bound books. When I was painting Stories from a Chinese Studio in "Outlook", a teacher from Chen Siyi asked me, what book is used to draw Stories from a Chinese Studio? Oh, this made me feel very ashamed. I said, "What book? I won't read the version without adding annotations. ‘Later, Chen Siyi’s teacher gave me a set of thread-bound books, which he said was the best version of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". I don’t have that great ability to study, and I usually read elective books. What is more complete is the set of notes from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In the past, my neighbor next door gave me. He studied economics, and that time, I borrowed a set of economics books written by North from him for the first time. Huang Yongyu looked at it and said, "What do you see all day long?" You don't understand. I said I read it because I don’t understand it. Why do I read it if I understand it? ”

Mr. Huang Yonghou’s painting “It’s hard to find a peach land”

“I don’t read books for others, I read them for myself. "The old man's narrative is actually full of traps. He himself has few stories and reads less. But looking at his bookshelf, although there are no rare books, every book that has attracted attention in the field of culture today is included. He draws out one at a glance, and from beginning to end, with red pens and small characters written on fly heads, which are all the old man's reading experience. There are not many people who are known as scholars today, but most of them are for rice and grain, and "read for themselves" is very rare. This free and easy thing is rare. The old man paints, and the books he reads have made his paintings have a completely different style from the style of painting in the painting world today. His paintings have more words than the brush and ink on the paintings, and are densely packed. Each painting conveys an idea, and every thought is closely related to the current problems. "I am a painter, and I am also a cultural person. If you say that the painter is not a cultural person, I am afraid no painter will be happy. But you have to know how many drops and twelve ink you have. If I want to express any thoughts in the painting, if it is wrong, it will be embarrassing.But if you draw landscapes, it doesn’t matter if you copy Tang poetry and Song lyrics without reading. It’s also worth not reading, because you have to practice writing and ink! "

" I don't care if I'm picky about my paintings, but I'm very proud of how I can express my meaning clearly in the painting. "When the old man held a painting exhibition in Shanghai Hongqiao Park, a Suzhou flower and bird painter walked over and asked, "Is it also called Chinese painting to write so many words on the painting? ”这事正好被写意大师朱屺瞻碰上了,他回答说:“是中国画,这种画上百年没人画了,要读很多书……”

曾为王小波大哭一场

“我第一次买书是小时候当兵的时候,是一本王云五的字典。 I spent a lot of time to memorize the dictionary at that time. As a result, the time wasted, because Chinese characters need to be written into sentences to remember. Later, when the troops arrived in Guangzhou, I bought a large number of books and bought them whenever I saw them. At that time, it was already the world of the People's Liberation Army. I bought a copy of "Marxism and Literature" and I could almost memorize it. ”1954年,黄永厚到了中央工艺美院读书,那个时期黄永厚买的书也打上了当时时代的烙印。

“一到北京,我就买了一本余秋雨批判斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基的书,还买了别林斯基选集,看了这些书,知道苏联有几个斯基都了不起。 At that time, I basically didn't buy art books. I kept these books until the "Cultural Revolution" and became my crime. "One of Huang Yonghou's crimes was that "Lomonrosov was a great poet. "Huang Yonghou was confused about this: "Who is Lomonrosov? I haven't read his book! ”一问才知道,洛蒙罗索夫是俄国的大化学家,批判黄永厚的那些人把洛蒙罗索夫和莱蒙托夫给弄混了。

1956年,从中央美院毕业之后,黄永厚到了广州。在那里,“我买了一套中学文学课文。 From junior high school to high school, we have been talking about the Book of Songs to Lu Xun.

Mr. Huang Yonghou's work

and that set of books also include teacher tutoring materials. I read it at the same time, and my basic foundation comes from that set of books. Later, when it came to the "Cultural Revolution", the literary history compiled by Peking University at the 55th level was popular. I read it seriously. My literary views basically come from there. Later I bought "Selected Literature Theory in China" and "Selected Literary Works in China" and "Selected Literary Works in China" from this. The allusions I used when I painted "Song Yu's Question to King Xiang of Chu" came from here. Others think that I don’t have to think about writing paintings and postscripts, so I can pick them up at will. I said I don’t have that ability. I just buy and sell them now. After reading them, I feel a little touched and draw them immediately. I am not like others, with a family background and a scholarly family. But I can learn and apply it, and after reading this, I can think of that. I am not like others. I have a large library. If I need it, I will buy it. My books are accumulated bit by bit. ”

” I follow the trend when I study. Qian Zhongshu's " tube cone-edited " was bought as soon as it was published and I also drew a lot of paintings. I bought Wang Xiaobo’s book as soon as it came out. I bought a lot of condoms and gave it to others. I bought Wang Xiaobo's book because I saw the introduction of the book in Oriental magazine, so I went to buy it immediately. Not long after, Wang Xiaobo passed away and I cried, although I didn't know him.

stole a book from the library. "Sometimes I'm fooled when I read book reviews and bought books." As soon as the old man said this, we both laughed.有一次老爷子在报纸上看到一本书的介绍,老爷子立马打电话给我:“我看到一本好书,你帮我买一下。”我去书店按照老头儿说的版本找到了一本书,内容很差。

I am very confused, how could the old man read such a book?给老爷子打电话汇报:“书买到了,哪天给您送过去。”老爷子兴冲冲地问:“怎么样?不错吧?”我不好扫老人的兴,我说:“回头您自己看。”等给老爷子送过去之后,老头儿一翻:“上当了。”这样的事,老头儿没少碰上。 When it comes to buying books, this is one of the fun things.

"It's still a bit fun. I'll tell you. In the later period of the Cultural Revolution, all libraries were closed.But I read "The Analects of Confucius" at that time. I'll show you this book, which is from Zhonghua Book Company. It was used to criticize Confucius at that time. Originally, the Analects of Confucius was a feudal and financial cultivator, and it was not allowed to be read. But this is "Annotation of the Analects of Confucius". You can read it with confidence and boldness. I don't care about the views, just look at the content, haha. I have never read "The Analects of Confucius" before. I really put in my time during the "Cultural Revolution" period, and after that, many of my paintings were used.

I want to ask which version of "The Analects of Confucius" I was drawing, which is this. Talking about fun things is one. "There is also this book, "Historical Research" by Toynbee , I stole it from the library. If I don't tell you which library, I will settle the score with me. "The old man laughed again when he said this. In fact, no one would settle the scores of the old things during the Cultural Revolution. "At that time, I was teaching at Hefei University of Technology and went to the library and found a book like this there. When I saw it, it was very interesting. I took it out in my clothes, and no one cared about it at that time. ”

A real man does not follow the commonplace

It is said that a painter's study room should be filled with art painting books, but looking around, the books like this in Huang Yonghou's study room are not even enough to have a grid on the bookshelf. They are all given by his painter friend, and they are placed there sparsely. "Don't read books of that kind. Nowadays, painters paint and critics comment on paintings. When I talk about my teacher, I am like someone. ’

“Art is creation. Look at when did Li Keran say who his works look like? I recently read a book and saw Da Feng from Tianjin give an opinion to a great painter: Your style of painting is always like that. The great painter said: I have changed, and people don’t know me anymore. I dare say, if you always write things according to the same routine, you will definitely be sad, but the painter is not sad. What do I think of this kind of book? I will never learn from them even if I paint, but I am Chinese. I am in such a tradition. Can I not be influenced by them all day long?”

There is no way. "Compared with the books on the bookshelf, the difference between Huang Yonghou's study is that it is full of famous calligraphy and paintings, Liu Haisu, Fan Zeng, Huang Yongyu, Huang Miaozi, etc. Such a study is a bit decent and a bit dissatisfied. This style is just like Liu Haisu wrote in a piece of Huang Yonghou: A real man does not follow the flow of the vulgarity. This old man who does not follow the flow of the vulgarity puts the study in his mind and paints it into his paintings.
