透視與寫意

據(jù)畫家馮長江介紹，紐約大都會博物館展覽著齊白石、徐悲鴻、張大千、李可染等的繪畫作品，這些畫作與19世紀(jì)末20世紀(jì)初那些西方現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)大家的油畫形成鮮明的對比。中國畫這邊訪客稀少，另一邊卻人頭攢動?！斑@種現(xiàn)象常常令我思考，中國畫該怎樣與世界溝通？”馮長江感嘆道。Case

“張大千也曾經(jīng)評價(jià)過：“中國畫常常被不了解畫的人批評說，沒有透視。其實(shí)中國畫何嘗沒有透視？它的透視是從四方上下各方面進(jìn)行的，現(xiàn)在抽象畫不過得其一斑。如古人所說的下面幾句話，就是十足的透視抽象的原理。他說‘遠(yuǎn)山無皴’。遠(yuǎn)山為何無皴呢？因?yàn)槿说哪苛Σ荒苓_(dá)到，就等于攝影過遠(yuǎn)，空氣間有一種霧層，自然看不見山上的脈絡(luò)，當(dāng)然用不著皴了?！h(yuǎn)水無波’，江河遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)望去，哪里還看得見波紋呢？‘遠(yuǎn)人無目’也是一樣的，距離遠(yuǎn)了，五官當(dāng)然辨不清楚了，這是自然的道理。所謂透視，就是自然，不是死板的?！盋ase

分析點(diǎn)評

在繪畫藝術(shù)中，西方繪畫注重寫實(shí)，它通過正確的比例、合理的透視、協(xié)調(diào)的色彩、完整的構(gòu)圖、逼真的形象等營造藝術(shù)形象；中國畫更注重通過諸多形式因素，如筆墨、色彩、點(diǎn)線面等，表達(dá)作者的情感。中國畫家對空間的透視不同于西方的焦點(diǎn)透視，中國畫家欣賞宇宙空間大化，致力于表現(xiàn)大自然的節(jié)奏和諧。Translation

1.寫意和工筆

國畫是世界上最古老的藝術(shù)傳統(tǒng)之一。繪畫時(shí)用毛筆蘸黑墨或彩墨在紙張或絲綢上作畫。根據(jù)表現(xiàn)手法，國畫可分為寫意派和工筆派兩大類。寫意派以自由表達(dá)和形式夸張為特點(diǎn)；工筆派則注重以精細(xì)的筆法描繪細(xì)節(jié)。山水畫被公認(rèn)為國畫的最高形式?？v觀歷史，不同時(shí)期的國畫都相應(yīng)地反映出人們的社會意識。Translation
