He once had several teachers who spoke highly of him. Among them, Qi Baishi, a famous painter in China, once said that among his many disciples, he was most proud of two people, one was Li Kuchan and the other was Wang Xuetao. Our program today is to introduce Wang Xuetao and his artistic achievements to the audience.

Moderator: It is understood that next year will be the birthday100th anniversary of Xue Tao, the elder Wang Man. In order to let people know more about this famous painter's past, our reporter recently interviewed the descendants of Wang Man Xue Tao Sr. Let's have a look.

Moderator: We know that Mr. Wang Xuetao has many students. Today, we have invited Mr. Wang Peidong, one of the old man's students, the painter and director of the studio of Beijing Painting Academy. Hello, Mr. Wang.

Wang Peidong: Hello.

Moderator: There are many people engaged in the creation of freehand brushwork flower-and-bird paintings in the history of modern art in China, and there are also many successful painters. How did Mr. Wang Xuetao establish his position in flower-and-bird painting? Do you want to introduce it to the audience first? Wang Peidong: Compared with contemporary painters, he is not a freehand brushwork like the original literati painting, nor is he copying other people's things from ordinary painters, but he expresses what he wants to express according to his own personality. He found himself and his own artistic language, and he fully expressed his love for life with this small freehand brushwork. Then he, this thing, he wants to compare with his predecessors. He has something that his predecessor didn't have. For example, he painted so many insects, birds, plants, and their shapes were so vivid. That's different, that is to say, compared with his predecessors, he developed a new period, especially in pen and ink. His colors absorbed the colors of western paintings and naturally blended into our Chinese paintings. Then this is average. At that time, other domestic flower and bird painters used colors, but they were different. In the use of color, he has his own unique things, and he has developed. So as far as his subject matter is concerned, he went to the southwest to sketch, and later drew a lot of things, including peacocks, cuckoos, and things in the southwest, such as (iron chains), which have never been painted before, and the scope of the subject matter has expanded. His painting, the expression technique expanded, and the expression technique changed. As a painter, it is great to make a breakthrough on the basis of inheriting predecessors. Moderator: Mr. Wang, as far as I know, Mr. Wang's works are fresh and lively, vivid and touching, and varied, which not only has the inside story of Chinese painting, but also has the flavor of life in the new era. Would you please tell the audience more about this situation? Wang Peidong: Mr. Wang Xuetao is also in his fifties. After the age of 60, his works are more perfect and highlight his characteristics. For example, Guateng, this Guateng, has a cage for slugs. When he conceived it, he didn't say that he just drew a weaver girl. The weaver girl is not hidden in flowers, leaves or vines. He showed that he climbed out of the cage and stood outside the cage wittily. It was painted by ordinary people, but he didn't think so. This is also very interesting. This picture shows this Hosta. This Hosta has a leaf and a flower with two ladybugs painted on it and a small snail crawling slowly below. In this small painting, he used a few simple strokes to express this emotion, but he showed the vitality of nature. He also has some great works, which are also wonderful. Like this bird, this painting can't be sketched. He kept it in his mind and grasped its dynamics. Look at this bird. Two birds have their own dynamics. One is flying sideways, and the other is looking down from above, so their dynamics are different and vivid. At the bottom is a big flower and a happy tree, which is a branch and very handsome. These flowers point out one by one, very vivid, well-shaped, alienated and scattered. Generally speaking, these flowers are very accurate works. Besides painting some gorgeous things, Mr. Wang also looks at these dark things, such as this banana and this banana. The shade of ink is very rich, so in such an all-ink room, only this one has a banana flower, which is where the banana is tied. This little green is inside, red and green contrast, there is a little mantis under this place. Although this kind of work looks simple, it is a banana and a stone, but it is full of fun with bugs. I have brought two more masterpieces by Mr. Wang Xuetao. Shall we have a look? Moderator: OK.

Wang Peidong: This crane, two cranes, is very vivid. As far as modeling is concerned, one stands up, one hides, one retracts his head, and the other turns around like this. This is the difference between its two images. In addition, the momentum of the whole painting is upward. Every flower is expressed by a pen with very positive energy, with rich colors. It's also purple, purple changes a lot, deep purple, light purple, and some azurite. This color varies greatly, and each flower has a different shape. His pen is very straight and general. This is Mr Wang's masterpiece. This painting is bold and unconstrained in his works. The ink color changes greatly, such as thick, light, dry and wet, and the distribution and shape of these inks have changed. So this painting, its main body, the lotus above it, is very bright at the top, the whole dynamic trend, it has the dynamic trend of wind, and the composition is also. Xiaolei echoes it, and its general trend is, like this, an upward trend. These grasses are attached to it, these are reeds, and these leaves are so dynamic. Among Mr. Wang's works, this painting is a bold one, with his heroism in it. So this painting is very touching and won the first prize in the exhibition. This is a very good and rare masterpiece of his. Moderator: It is true that Mr. Wang Xuetao's works are deeply loved by the public, but due to the time, we can only analyze the old man's works here today. Thank you very much for coming to the studio. Thank you. Thank you for watching today's art investment program. See you tomorrow 16: 05!
