For calligraphy appreciation, it requires the author to have certain calligraphy artistic literacy and skills, otherwise he cannot appreciate calligraphy art well. Specifically, calligraphy art appreciation can be divided into the following parts.
How to appreciate running script calligraphy
1. From the whole to the part, and then from the part to the whole.
When appreciating calligraphy, you should first look at the overall situation and have a general impression of its expression techniques and artistic style. Then pay attention to whether the pen, word knotting, composition, ink rhyme and other parts are both dharma and meaning, vivid and lively. After partially appreciating the work, stand back and look at the overall situation from a distance, correct the "rough impression" obtained from the first viewing, and grasp it from a rational perspective again. Pay attention to whether the artistic expression technique and artistic style are consistent, what parts of the work are excellent and where there are shortcomings, and fully appreciate them from both macro and micro perspectives.
2. From the calligraphy image to the specific image, develop associations and correctly understand the artistic conception of the work.
In the process of appreciating calligraphy, you should fully develop associations and compare the calligraphy image with similar things in real life to make the calligraphy image concrete. Then, based on the aesthetic characteristics of things similar to calligraphy images, we can further associate with the aesthetic value of the work, thereby understanding the artistic conception of the work. For example, if you appreciate Yan Zhenqing's regular script, you can compare the image of his calligraphy with specific images such as "Jing Qing presses his sword, Fan Kuai holds his shield, King Kong dazzles, and a strong man shakes his fist". From this, we can conclude: Strong physique - masculine - It is full of heroic qualities - the characteristics of being dignified and inviolable, which reminds us of the dignified and majestic artistic style of Yan Zhenqing's regular script.
3. Restore the static image to the process of movement and develop associations.
As a result of creation, calligraphy works are relatively static. When appreciating, you should follow the author's creative process, use the method of "moving your eyes", follow the order of the work (language, time), imagine the rhythm and intensity of the author's pen during the creative process, and the different changes in the author's emotions, and transform the still image into a static image. Reduction to the process of movement. That is to imitate the author's creative process and correctly grasp the author's creative intentions, emotional changes, etc.
4. Understand the creation background of the work and correctly grasp the mood of the work.
Any calligraphy work is the accumulation of a certain culture and history, and is the product of a specific historical and cultural background. Therefore, understanding the creative background of the work (including the creative environment), clarifying the unique cultural atmosphere contained in the work and the author's personality, aesthetic taste, creative mood, creative purpose, etc. are essential for correctly understanding the author's creative intention. It is very helpful to grasp the mood of the work.
With the trend of the times, calligraphy has become more and more concise, but we also need to have a certain understanding of ancient calligraphy. Running script is a kind of calligraphy. Therefore, I have discussed how to appreciate running script calligraphy above. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
