When I was a child, I only paid attention to the story in the picture. For painters and authors, I am not so familiar with the characters in picture books. The views and feelings of people who have studied life in the past few years are changing. Now reading old books has a new experience!
Gao Yan, a Beijinger, was born in 1940. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, she published her first novel (jigsaw puzzle) in China Comic Book, which made her famous.
After the reform, he became a professor at the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts. He likes drawing comic books very much. He was a master of comics in the 1980s. At first, he drew black-and-white comic books (Kucaihua) (Tiger Pan) and so on. By the end of 1970s and 1980s, he began to draw colorful cartoons, including (Red and Black) (La Traviata) (The Return of the Lady) (Cinderella) and so on.
Gao Yan's paintings are very good at drawing the characters in the works of famous foreign artists. They have the elegant temperament of western aesthetics and classical artistic temperament, and are fashionable and beautiful.
It is a pity that the painter is in poor health. 199 1 year, died young at the age of 5 1 year. At that time, China's material and spiritual life had just started. Such a good painter left prematurely before enjoying a rich life. I am very sorry. A talented painter is like a shooting star. Write it down!
The picture below shows Gao Yan's colorful illustrations for the novel "Village in August" by writer Jun Xiao.
Xiao Jun, a writer, was promoted by Lu Xun and had a love affair with Xiao Hong, a female writer. The works are average, and the popularity seems to be inclined to have an emotional entanglement with Xiao Hong who died young!
It's interesting to open the book reprinted by 1980 and look at the illustrations of Gao Yan's paintings. From the illustration point of view, the painter is really good at drawing foreign-style figures, handling the lines of figures more handsome and slender, and has a painting style different from other local flavor. ...

An illustration in a China book in the 1980s shows a woman slapping a little girl in the face. At the beginning of February, Sina Weibo user @ Huang Bokai bk posted a set of four-grid cartoons. Such a tortuous and bizarre plot, coupled with the comic style in the 1970s and 1980s, made these comic pictures spread rapidly in Weibo.
