The charm of life is expressed through the graceful movements of painting, the sudden rainfall of calligraphy
- Remembering Zhang Jinming, a renowned military painter and calligrapher
Mr. Zhang Jinming, a military painter and calligrapher, exhibits remarkable style and spirit in his paintings and calligraphy, with his brushwork and ink application exuding vitality and spirit! His paintings mirror his personality, and his calligraphy reflects his cultivation. This artist is a paradigm! Zhao Ziang once commented that writing bamboo requires mastery of eight techniques, providing evidence for the homology of painting and calligraphy. Although there is still a consensus on the homology of painting and calligraphy in contemporary times, there has been a divergence in their creation. Painters do not practice calligraphy, and calligraphers are not skilled in painting, leading to a contradiction between the two arts and a gradual decline in cultural value. Looking back at Mr. Zhang Jinming's paintings and calligraphy works, one can surely feel relieved: the artist has devoted extraordinary effort to the simultaneous practice of painting and calligraphy, becoming a master in inheriting the homology of the two arts!
Mr. Zhang's landscape paintings exhibit a high level of professional expertise, stemming from his orthodox artistic principles. His landscape works combine meticulous and freehand techniques, with a distinct characteristic of using the brush to convey the essence. Each stroke is applied with precision and coherence, never showing signs of fatigue or sloppiness. The strokes complement each other, with long lines flowing seamlessly, like steel forged and iron cast, while short lines show effective顿挫, clearly delineated. Both long and short lines are prolific, without any messy strokes or stray lines that become isolated! His ability to organize lines in landscape painting is extraordinary, constantly revealing his mastery, allowing him to achieve the goal of conveying the spirit of the landscape while also establishing its structure. He fully expresses the essential attribute of Chinese painting, which relies on line modeling, highlighting the authentic cultural identity of Chinese painting!
Ink painting also requires true skill. The shading, dryness, wetness, and burnishing all depend on the water to create vivid ink. With vivid ink, the landscape comes to life. Therefore, his landscape works are free from the stiff and rigid craftsmanship, and they appear vivid and charming due to his skillful use of water. In Xie He's theory of painting, the first principle is vivid charm. Charm cannot be directly described, but it can be felt in the heart! Feeling Mr. Zhang's landscape paintings through the heart, because of the presence of charm, there must be vivid experiences. The ink is applied without any impurities, and the green and blue colors do not interfere with the ink, nor does the ink interfere with the colors. This makes the landscape have the quality of poetry. Poetry enters the painting, and the painting becomes poetry. The eastern bank is covered with light mist, the western peak is majestic with gushing springs, the stone paths and thatched pavilions, the wooden bridges and cold springs, all become the nourishment for communicating with the spirit of heaven and earth in his paintings. Creating landscapes with humanistic elements is just so plain and straightforward, naturally exquisite! Mr. Zhang paints well and his calligraphy is exquisite as well. His calligraphy cultivation deeply follows the inscriptions on steles and model books, taking the best! Using the study of steles to establish the structure of characters, and using the study of model books to obtain the spirit of characters, writing both regular and cursive scripts with both form and spirit, especially the spirit! In his cursive works, there are many square brushstrokes, twisting like steel hooks, which can fully display the magnificent momentum of horizontal arrangement like cloud formation and vertical stretching like withered vines! Integrating steles into cursive scripts, creating a fusion of inscriptions and model books, is the correct path for the development of contemporary calligraphy. On this path, Mr. Zhang travels far and explores with all his strength, with ink and brush as the pioneer!
The charm of calligraphy emerges like the vitality of a painting, capturing the essence of a sudden wind and rainstorm. When viewing the calligraphy works of the master, one is always struck by a sense of awe, as if they are immersed in a vast expanse of falling flowers and flying snow. The technique of brush and ink is rigorous, yet not rigid. With a pen in hand, one can capture the essence of myriad images, allowing for variations in the strokes and curves, and even for abrupt changes within a single dot. Holding the pen in hand, moving it with the heart, and achieving a state where both the heart and hand flow freely, is precisely the essence of expressing emotions through calligraphy. Every masterpiece, no matter its level of excellence, embodies this magical ability of emotion to merge with the brush!
