Ms. Wu Qingxia has been in the painting world for more than 80 years, setting a record for the oldest female painter in China. On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, "Carp Wu" turned into a white crane and flew on the incomparably splendid clouds ... Say goodbye to Wu Lao and read the hanging pen "Innocent Picture" she gave me again. Two months ago, I accompanied my hometown reporter to the ward to interview Wu Lao, as if it were just yesterday. On that day, Wu Qingxia, who was hospitalized for more than half a year because of femoral and tibial fractures, was very happy when he heard that his hometown had been visited. In the morning, he was humming "Susan Qi Jie" gently. The sober 99-year-old Wu smiled and pointed to the flowers sent to her, saying in Changzhou, "Oh, lilies and carnations, I like them." This is actually the last batch of media reporters that Wu Qingxia received before his death.
"Innocent Pictures" was painted in summer, when Changzhou will hold an art seminar of Wu Qingxia, a famous contemporary painter in China, and publish "Turning to Xia Ying's Painting Collection". Changzhou TV Station made a special trip to Shanghai to film The History of Women in Wu Qingxia and Longcheng. At that time, Wu Qingxia was 92 years old, and his hands and feet were not very flexible. He hasn't painted for many years. However, when the director asked her to "draw two strokes at will", Wu actually stood up without saying anything, put his hand on the drawing table, thought a little about the white rice paper and splashed ink. In a short time, a painting of "green (vegetable) and white (mushroom)" with dripping ink and sharp brushwork was drawn. Later, when I came to visit your home, Wu Lao asked my niece and famous voice actor Zhang Huan to stamp my painting as a souvenir. I wrote a long paragraph about Wu Lao, recording the whole story of my work. This is Wu Qingxia's masterpiece, and I will cherish it forever.
Wu Qingxia/Kloc-participated in the Changzhou Relief Performance at the age of 0/2, and settled in Shanghai at the age of 0/8. Her painting career of more than 80 years is just like the philosophy contained in Innocent Painting. She is praised by everyone for her hard work and innocence.
Wu Qingxia has deep feelings for her motherland. She often says that she is "the daughter of Changzhou" and wants to do something for the people in her hometown. 198 1 spring, I left my hometown for more than half a century and returned to Changzhou to hold a solo exhibition. At the end of the exhibition, she donated 65,438+00 masterpieces, Geyao Kettle in the Song Dynasty and Xu Beihong's Qiu Shu Map. In 2000, she donated all her life-long paintings and her collection of more than 120 masterpieces (including her masterpieces hanging on the wall for decades) to her hometown. The Changzhou Municipal People's Government approved the construction of "Wu Qingxia Art Institute", and she gave all she had, with a subsidy of 6,543,800 yuan. Shanghai Museum collects national treasures, and she did not hesitate to donate her Song Ge kiln scrubbing and celadon vases in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty to her second hometown. Wu Lao was very sad when he learned from TV that there was a devastating earthquake in Wenchuan and the losses were heavy. The next day, she told her family to donate one month's salary to Shanghai China Painting Academy to support earthquake relief. Wu Qingxia was indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, and thrifty at home, but he generously helped people in need. Her noble character of being enthusiastic about public welfare, helping the weak and helping the poor, like her persistence in art and pursuit of perfection, is a model for us to learn art and be a man. Appreciation of Wu Qingxia's works.
Ms Wu Qingxia is a versatile painter. In her creation, landscapes, flowers and birds, figures, and various themes are involved. Her works alternate between meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork, with smooth brushwork and gorgeous colors. The most representative of Wu Qingxia's works are carp and heron, which on the one hand stems from her heartfelt love for these two animals, and on the other hand is the result of her long-term careful observation and constant pondering over her previous works. She pays attention to going deep into life in her creation, so she handles some details more rigorously and delicately without losing her characteristics. Mr. Wu's works are deeply loved by people. At the end of 2004, a work by Mr. Wu Qingxia named "Fish Leaping" was sold at a high price of 2.2 million yuan, which reflected the market's recognition of Ms. Wu Qingxia's work.
