On Wang Meng And Its Influence On Contemporary Works

By the ancient painter case study, we painters in modern times can find some problems in the art field,and learn some painting skills and ways of composition,and discover what influence their creation thoughts and spirit of the time had upon their works.In this way,the contemporary artists will benefit a lot.This thesis closes attention to Wang Meng---a landscape painter in Yuan Dynasty,through the analysis of hisliving environment and the era background,I find the basic cause of his creation state,and the effect of various kinds of environmental factors upon artistic creation.Wang Meng had a distinctive idea towards skills,he innovated in composition,such as his work’Retreat in Qing Bian’,’The forest and house in Ju Qu’,’Mountain Taibai’.He played a connecting link role between the proceding and the following,his works is very important to us,and give us guidance towards creating.He acted up to the relationship between artists and the environment.His creative work closely reflect that his minds and environmental element had a influence on his creative work.lots of people retreated in mountains and forest at that time,however Wang Meng had tried several times to become a official,but failed in the end.He did not lose heart under this bad conditions.As deeper the research gets,I find that the artist’s personal creation cannot be separated from his era and his character.Actually,artistic creation must be a result of co-operation between era and individuality.The works ought to be self mirrored.and reflect the spirit of that time.It cannot be isolated from era.The most convincing example is Wang Meng’s work’Ge Zhichuan moves his residence"The development of society both has historical vertical direction and complicated reality relationships in horizontal direction.These forms a organic entirety,sometimes they isolated from each other,sometimes they depend on each other.So the painter case study must be founded on the era background research.Not only Wangmeng’s skills and composition innovation.but also his positive attitude towards politics are worth learning.If the contemporary aritists want to make progress in his works.they must be familiar with ancient proceding and extensive nowadays.
