炎绯寒碧，暖日凉月——工笔花鸟画中色彩的抒情性

在源于禅道"五色令人目盲"的古典美学思想引导下,色彩在中国画发展历史中的被不少画家所轻视;又因为传统中国画以"气韵生动"为重要的审美标准,而水墨所演绎的笔墨情韵更容易体现这种意境美,所以色彩的抒情性更加无法充分展现.其实,就单纯的色相而言,所有的色彩都具有一种客观存在的表情性.在历代直有代表性的工笔花鸟画家的作品中,我们都可以切身感受到色彩的抒情性;在现代工笔花鸟中,色彩的传情达意性则得到了更加充分的发展和利用.

"Scorching red and cold green, warm sun and cool moon"--The lyricism of colors in fine flower - and - bird paintings

Guided by "colors render people blind",an classic aesthetic idea which stems from Chan(a kind of Buddhism),most Chinese painters through the ages have always underestimating the importance of colors in the development of Chinese traditional paintings.In addition,they take"vividness of spiritual flavor"as a vital aesthetic standard and believe that black ink is more capable of showing the beauty of artistic conception,therefore,the lyricism of colors cannot be fully exhibited.In fact,as far as the shades of colors are concerned,all the colors express the objective reality."Scorching red and cold green,warm sun and cool moon" is a good case in point.From the representative fine brushwork of flower and bird through the ages,we may get intimate knowledge of the lyricism of colors.In modern flower-and -bird paintings,the expressionism of colors is especially fully developed and utilized.
