Mr. Lou Shibai commented
Mr. Lou Shibai prefaces Gao Kefei's Painting Collection;
Ke's younger brother, smart and sophisticated, has been writing since childhood and has been playing painters' calligraphy.
When I was eleven, I swam from my brother, Mr Wang Qingwen. As a teenager, I benefited a lot.
At the age of his weak crown, he took calligraphy and painting to Justin Studio to worship me as a teacher.
Serving teaching day and night, serving the left and right,
Twenty years have passed and painting has made great progress.
Make a style of painting, and then continue to pass it on.
In addition, attack poetry books, learn seal cutting, learn appreciation, and distinguish authenticity.
With the wide range of blog posts, his vision is getting higher and higher, and his works are becoming more and more ingenious and creative.
Ke Fei is not good at freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, but also works as a meticulous brushwork of grass worms and occasionally refers to painting, which is not bad.
Besides epigraphy and calligraphy, it is elegant and good Peking Opera, which is quite liked by old students. BLACKPINK's looks are particularly forgetful.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ke is not versatile.
May my brother learn from nature, learn from others, cultivate his mind, accumulate wealth and make artistic progress.
Today, on the occasion of Ke Fei's painting collection Fu Zi, I want to talk about Chen Shu and congratulate Xiao Xu.

Mr. Wu Hongliang commented
Mr. Wu Hongliang, director of Qi Baishi Memorial Hall of Beijing Painting Academy, commented on Gao Kefei's works;
Brother Ke Fei's works inherited the three traditions of Qimen: the tempering of pen and ink, the wonderful composition and the ingenious thinking of content. Guan Kefei's Chinese painting is not thin because of simplicity, but empty because of lack, and it is boring because of painting everyday things. His palm paintings have their own brushwork, and the fruits and vegetables on his fingers are smooth and moist, especially his paintings "Official Plus Official", "Who is Black" and "Big Belly, Always Laughing", which add personal style and interest more frequently than pen and ink.

□ Gao kefei
The old man Baishi has received many disciples in his life. The old man once sealed "Zhao Wuwu, 3,000 customers" to show the prosperity of peaches and plums he cultivated, and quite proudly surpassed Zhao (Zhi Qian) and Wu (Chang Shuo) among his disciples. However, among all the disciples of Qimen, there are actually not many who actually salute and kowtow to the door, and Mr. Wang Qingwen is one of them.
In the Chronicle of Qi Baishi, edited by Hu Shi and li jinxi, it is recorded that in the 37th year of the Republic of China (1948), 88-year-old Wu Zixu was in Beiping, and his disciples in recent years were Lou Shaohuai, Chen Renlan, Li Kuchan, Li Keran, Wang Xuetao and Wang Qingwen. However, due to the difficulties of the Cultural Revolution and the untimely death of Mr. Wang, few people in the society know about his painting art, and no one has described his life and artistic achievements for many years. As a student, I often feel deeply sorry.
Mr. Wang was born in Beijing, 1920, from Henan. Although his family is not a noble family, it is also a large family. His father was the director of Beiping Post Office during the Republic of China. Because of business relations, he had frequent contacts with Mr. Qi Baishi, who lived in Beiping for a short time. At that time, the Wangs were responsible for the correspondence and parcel mailing between the North and the South of Baishi, and the exchanges between the two families gradually became closer over time.
Mr. Wang was weak since childhood, and his personality was quiet and introverted, but he had a special liking for painting and calligraphy and made rapid progress. At the age of 18, Mr. Wang joined the Painting Society, which was established by members of the Hushe Society on 1934, and mainly organized and taught Chinese painting techniques. The original community is located at No.50, Wuwanghou Hutong, Xicheng, Beiping. There were more than 30 students at first, and then it gradually developed to more than 200 students. The Painting Society is divided into four branches: landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, and stone carvings. Each branch has professors such as Jin, Wang Xinjing, Ji Guanzhi, Yan, Zhong Zhifu and Jin Yumin. Mr. Huang comes to the painting club once a week and gives all the students a three-hour painting theory class. Less than twenty years old, Mr. Wang Qingwen laid a good foundation for painting and calligraphy in Xue Lu Painting Society. His works are widely recognized by the society by participating in the exhibitions organized by the Painting Society and selling them every year.
1940, Mr. Wang took the old man Baishi as his teacher. According to the meaning of the word "Wen" in Mr. Wang's name, the old man named him "Wen" and gave him two seals of "Wang Qingwen" and "Yu Zhan" as gifts. So, Mr. Wang followed the staff and shoes of the old man Baishi and served the pen and inkstone for seventeen years.
194 1 In the spring of, the old man Baishi gave a banquet and held a ceremony at the Qing Lin Chun Restaurant in West Chang 'an Street, Beiping, and made Hu Baozhu his second wife, sharing the property. * * * 29 relatives, friends and students were invited to sign their names. Among the witnesses, Mr. Wang Qingwen is the youngest, which shows the friendship between master and apprentice.
In the book "Qi Baishi's father and my artistic career", Mr. Qi Liangchi once described it like this: "My mother is in poor health and often suffers from wheezing. When she reached middle age, she suffered from a disease, with stiff hands and feet and unconsciousness. She needs someone to stand up and sit up straight at once, and her hands and feet are curled up to slowly recover her breathing. So whenever we get sick, we take turns on duty and take care of my mother day and night. It is me, Qi, Lou Shaohuai who take care of my mother. Usually, my father never lets others draw on his paintings, but we can make an exception when we take care of our mother. The four of us took advantage of the night shift and happened to see a picture of my father's "four happiness pictures": each of us drew a magpie, and my brother Qi Liang drew another stone. My father carved the words "Four Happy Pictures" on this painting, and inscribed "Shaohuai and Wang Qingwen, the gate house, whose son is dying, have cooperated, and the white stone is inscribed". Nowadays, although no one can see this picture of the Four Fortunes, I can imagine that Mr. Wang has already developed considerable pen and ink skills in his twenties.
When the old man Baishi was 93 years old, he asked Mr. Wang to draw fish, saying, "You can know the joy of fish, so you can draw fish in various shapes." Emperor Wen of the Qing Dynasty was also good at observing the movements of fish, so painting fish was naturally interesting. "Another topic is that Mr. Wang painted crabs:" Only Emperor Wen of the Qing Dynasty passed me. "In addition to freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, Mr. Wang is also one of the few disciples of Qimen in terms of meticulous brushwork of grass insects. I have seen Mr. Wang's meticulous paintings Cicada in the Fan, Freehand Pumpkin, Guo's meticulous paintings, Mantis's meticulous paintings and the chaos of the white stone old man! Unfortunately, many of Mr. Wang's works were destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. What's more, occasionally some surviving paintings are dug up by some mercenary people. It is sad to hear that they are the works of the old man who forged the white stone.
Mr. Wang was born with heart disease, and his personality was withdrawn and introverted. Therefore, although after liberation, I had the opportunity to give lectures in art colleges or be a painter in painting academies, but I failed to get into the body as I wished. According to his early disciple Mr. Li Fu, in the late 1950s, Mr. Li Fu lived at No.39 Xintaichang, Dongzhimen, the capital, and made a living by selling tourists' paintings. Mr. Li Fu has a collection of "Girl Without Worry", oleander, guinea fowl, tits, Dai Sheng birds, finches and so on. That Mr. Li painted him when he was about forty years old, but none of them were painted by the old man Baishi. It can be seen that at that time, Mr. Wang had intended to break through the barriers and carry out artistic creation and practice.
During the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution", Mr. Wang lived in Huairou, a suburb of Beijing, reading in the field behind closed doors and enjoying himself. Ten years of rural life has also brought infinite creative inspiration to Mr. Wang. On the basis of sketching, he regularized the brushwork of the old man Baishi, and combined with his own temperament, formed a small freehand brushwork style with beautiful brushwork, vivid modeling and both form and spirit. The most distinctive thing is the squirrel described by Mr. Wang, who is lively and smart and ready to come at any time. This theme became the representative work that Mr. Wang often painted in his later years.
After the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Wang moved from Huairou to a village in the eastern suburbs of Beijing (that is, near the Sun Palace in the East Fourth Ring Road of Beijing), and I was fortunate to be the youngest disciple of Mr. Wang in his later years. What impressed me the most when we first met was Mr. Wang's approachable smile. Mr. Wang was short and slightly hunched. Although his face is thin, his eyes are bright and divine. The conversation is light and gentle, and she laughs when she is happy. At that time, I was young and a poor student. My husband taught me that I didn't take a penny. Every time I bring four pieces of four-foot paper to pay the tuition fee, my husband takes one piece, cuts a quarter of it for me to demonstrate and copy the template painting for me to learn. Because I live in a poor village, my husband told me to bring him some recent reference news every time I came, and it never stopped until my husband died.
Mr. Wang is very serious in artistic communication. I bring dozens of exercises to read every time. Mr. Wang read them one by one and revised them one by one with a blue pen. Every time I see a little progress, my husband often shows pride in praise, and that expression is unforgettable. Every time Mr. Wang paints and demonstrates for me, he grinds ink for half an hour, and so does the old man Yan Baishi. When painting, Mr. Wang asked his family to avoid the quiet in the room. Before painting, Mr. Wang always scratched his nails on paper to make a composition. When painting, he was so absorbed that he could hardly speak, but only when he reached an important place did he gently remind me to pay attention to watching. Explain the painting and composition to me after painting. After each painting, Mr. Wang will hang the painting on the wall and chat with me. When he is not satisfied, he will take it off and make up a few strokes. Before and after painting, the water in his brush is always clear, and so is the old man Yan Baishi.
I remember that Mr. Wang's square painting was also a dining table. Sometimes I paint until the evening, and when Mr. Wang invites me to dinner, I help Mr. Wang move the pens, inkstones and other things on the table to other places. It was in such a humble environment that Mr. Wang spent his last time. What I can't forget so far is that although the humble room is humble, I can see Mr. Wang's new work hanging on the wall every time I go; Although it is a wooden house, there are elegant potted flowers and bonsai dotted among them; Although the crowing of chickens and dogs outside the window is very incongruous with Mr. Wang's elegant conversation in the studio, every time I come back to my building from Mr. Wang's humble room, I often think about practicing what I have learned in this environment which is several times stronger than Yu Xiansheng as soon as possible, so as to return to Mr. Wang as soon as possible to listen to his teachings.
Mr. Wang's paintings not only have the beauty of Baishi's pen and ink, but also have his own neat and beautiful freehand brushwork. His running script is also elegant and graceful, which complements his painting style. Every time he has a proud work, he often adds a title with a seal script. Mr. Wang Can ran a printing business, but due to environmental and physical conditions, he didn't do much work in his later years. I tried to make a name for myself, but in the end I failed. At the end of 1979, just as the national economy was on the right track, culture and art tended to revitalize, and Mr. Wang's creation needed greater benefits. Unfortunately, Mr. Wang died suddenly at the age of 59.
Time flies, the years are ruthless, and Mr. Wang's painting name has long been submerged in the smoke and dust remembered by the world. Today, I had the honor to meet Mr. Ao's Pu 'an in Xiangtan, and asked me to write down this reminiscence article and recommend it for publication, which can not only give me a place in the history of painting, but also show that the former sages can avoid the regret of leaving pearls, and can also inspire the later scholars to carry forward the past.
I should bow down and thank Mr. Pu An for his kindness.

On Zhang Shijian's freehand brushwork of flowers and birds.
□ Gao kefei
In the history of China painting, the theme of young birds appeared as early as the Song Dynasty, and modern painters such as Ren Bonian, Qi Baishi, Zhang Shu and Huang Zhou are also good at it. Chickens in Zhang Shijian are different from the ancients and contemporary painters, and have their own strong personality. The chicken he painted is between work and writing in creative techniques, and the combination of "boneless" and sketching makes the pen and ink slightly colorful. Sometimes there are as many as twenty or thirty chickens on the screen, either upturned or tilted, with head and feet moving and different postures. At the same time, it is dense and orderly, chaotic but not chaotic. This painting is often accompanied by the spring flowers. From a distance, it is full of vitality with yellow flowers as its companion and black ink as its ink. The beautiful colors and natural composition in spring have long been recognized as Mr. Shi Jian's "patent" by the painting circle.
Mr Zhang Shijian is a diligent painter. After the Cultural Revolution, he never stopped writing. In his later years, he kept spending money every morning. 1994, "Rong Baozhai Publishing House" published the first collection of paintings for him. When he opened the collection, colorful and vibrant flowers and birds appeared on the paper: kingfishers flying over the lotus pond, Chinese Pulsatilla beside peach branches, guinea fowl under acacia trees, and a group of swallows among rape flowers. . . . . . Both show the artist's warm and popular artistic style, and also reflect the author's sincere feelings for nature. It can be said that without the painter's love for life, there would be no works that touched the audience in this way.
Mr. Zhang Shijian was born in Zhang Cun, Zhejiang Province, which is full of talented people. His uncle, Mr. Zhang Zhenduo, is a famous painter and art educator in modern times, and his cousin, Zhang Shu _, is an old friend of Mr. Pan Tianshou and one of the founders of "White Society". Mr. Shi Jian studied under Mr. Zhang Shuguo who was employed by the Art Department of Central University at that time. After that, he was admitted to Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Mr. Pan Tianshou and Wu _ _, and under Huang, Fu Baoshi,. In the creative process, Mr. Shi Jian did not mechanically combine Mr. Zhang Shu's elegant and implicit style with Mr. Pan Tianshou's domineering style, but constantly searched for and thought about two contradictory artistic qualities. After decades of diligent exploration, Mr. Shi Jian knows and grasps his artistic temperament, and on this basis, he gradually strengthens and integrates the implicit and powerful artistic characteristics of his predecessors. On the screen, ink is adjusted, grass is painted, ink is splashed, pen is thirsty, and movement is appropriate, forming its own fresh, refreshing, gorgeous and good flower-and-bird painting style. Ms. Sun Meilan, a famous art critic, commented on Mr. Zhang Shijian's works in 1994, saying: "Mr. Zhang Shijian's flower-and-bird painting is an art that has broken away from blindness and is maturing." Indeed, as long as we look at stacks and piles of systematic sketches, it is not difficult to understand the hardships, perseverance and artistic passion of the painter behind the "artistic maturity". Even during the "Cultural Revolution", the life of the cadre school where ducks were released and pigs were cut was reflected in the painter's sketch book, which is still a beautiful memory of the world of flowers and birds.
The original text was published in China Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper (1997 1.6), and the present text is slightly changed on the basis of the original text.
Gao Kefei's Speech at the Third Anniversary of Mr. Lou Shibai's Death in Beijing Painting Academy.
Most of Mr. Lou's disciples present today are my brothers and sisters. I have been studying painting with Mr. Lou since the early 1990s. My teacher is 50 years old. As one of his students, I want to review two things that are still fresh in my memory.
The first thing happened in the Art Museum of Beijing Painting Academy, and it also happened in this conference room today. At the end of March 2008, the Art Museum of Beijing Academy of Painting held an exhibition of Mr. Hu's posthumous works, during which he also held an art seminar. At that time, Mr. Lou was invited to attend the meeting and delivered a speech. I was lucky enough to accompany my teacher to the seminar. An hour before the seminar, the teacher came. He saw the art gallery on the second floor from the first floor, and carefully looked at each of Mr. Hu's works. The teacher stopped when he saw a work called "The Cave with Shadows" on the front wall of the exhibition hall on the second floor. It is a landscape painting about 1.5 meters square. A hole is depicted around the picture. Standing in front of the painting, you can appreciate it, just like a person looking out of a cave. From near to far, the scenery is bamboo, Lijiang River, bamboo rafts, the other side and distant mountains. The whole work is painted in distinct layers. After standing in front of the painting for a long time, the teacher said to me, "This is the famous karst cave in Guilin-"Yan Guan ". I also went there to sketch and painted a landscape painting with the theme of "Yan Guan" in the 1960s, but I painted it from the outside to the inside. In the painting, there was only a dark hole except some mountain scenery around the cave. Now that I have seen this painting by Mr. Hu, I feel that his works are exquisitely conceived. I was very moved after listening to it. 9 1 year-old man is still so modest! He not only taught me good painting experience, but also told me the detours he had taken. Only those who have a pure artistic heart can be so open-minded.
In 2007, at the age of 90, this teacher held an art exhibition of the 70th anniversary of his graduation in China Art Museum. At a press conference on the eve of the exhibition, a female reporter asked Lou Lao a small question: "You are 90 years old. Do you paint every day?" The teacher replied without thinking, "I paint every day, but I don't create every day!" " Often forced to draw some entertainment works, always repeating the previous pen and ink, very reluctant. I really hope I can have time to concentrate on more creation. In art, I want to change my painting method and make another breakthrough. "
I will never forget my teacher's modesty and enterprising spirit towards art.
