山水画风格集古大成的“清四王”

清代"四王"是依董其昌开辟的道路,力图集古之大成的代表.他们在艺术上强调"日夕临摹"、"宛然古人",脱离现实,醉心于前人笔墨技巧的语境.摹古是他们山水画创作的一大倾向.从山水画史的角度看,技巧作为绘画的基本要素仍然是不可欠缺的,故称"四王"的山水画对此起到了钢琴练习曲的作用.

Four Artists with the Same Family Name of WANG Who had been an Agglomeration of Ancient Artists' Style of Landscape Painting

The four artists with the same family name of Wang in Qing Dynasty were representatives,who had followed the path opened up by DONG Qi chang and tried to be an agglomeration of ancient artists'. They attached importance to imitating the ancient artists' paintings day and night with a result of an exact likeness to the ancient artists in the light of art, during the course of which they had broken them away from the reality and were bent on the context of forefather's skill of painting. Imitating the ancient artists in art is one of their major tendency in the making of landscape painting. Just judging from the angle of the history of landscape painting, as one of foundational factors of painting, skill is still indispensable. So, landscape paintings of the four artists who have the same family name of Wang can certainly have the role of practising,which just like using the piano to practise music before its real composition.
