Shanghai is a place where painters and painters gather, forming a mainstream of modern Chinese painting. Angie Wu Changshuo is a leading figure in the field of painting. When Wan Li arrived in Shanghai, he also humbly drew twenty-four paintings from the old professor. Lao appreciated it very much, and he wrote the word "live color gives birth to fragrance", which was the inscription on the title page when the painting screen was printed into a book.

(Excerpt from Wan Li's Life) Abstract
One day, we accompanied the teacher to find the old man, who was writing an inscription for the peony he had just painted. Teacher Wan Li said with a smile, "Peony deserves to be the king of flowers. It's so beautiful! " The middle-aged man said, "If the stone doesn't say anything, the flowers will laugh." I was very surprised by the master's taste in flowers, and his words were wonderful and far-reaching; Flowers will indeed bring endless beauty to the world! Whenever flowers bloom, I take the initiative to serve teachers to go to the park to enjoy flowers and visit flower exhibitions and art exhibitions. When the teacher saw peony, peony, magnolia, wisteria, chrysanthemum and plum blossom, he stopped to look at it carefully and was intoxicated with the spring flowers, and could not bear to leave for a long time.

During 1953, Yu Ji was transferred to the Central Ministry of Communications. Before he left, he visited Mr. Liu Zigu. Mr. Liu wrote two books, one for Qi Baishi, in order to give Yu Ji a chance to pursue further studies in Beijing.

Mr. Wang prefers it, so he simply introduces Wang to Ye and Xie Menus. "Friends are straightforward, friends forgive, and friends listen more." When you make friends with celebrities, you are like a celebrity. Since then, jade collections have sprung up, shocking southern Liaoning.
(Excerpt from the Preface of Master's Obsessed Collection of Liao Jade Articles) During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, I met Xu Beihong in Guilin and forged a profound friendship in the long-term artistic exchange. Together, they held an art exhibition and a charity sale of calligraphy and painting in Guangxi. Run schools together and engage in art education activities. Xu Beihong once praised Ma Wanli for being "outstanding" and even said when he held a solo exhibition in Ma Wanli, "Who will be with the Renaissance in the future?" Sigh. During this period, the two masters cooperated many times and created many wonderful paintings. For example, "Song Cat Map" co-authored by two people; Xu, Ma and Zhang Anzhi's Spring Festival; Three Friends in the Cold Year by Xu, Ma and Zhang Daqian. After living in Sichuan, at the invitation of Xu Beihong and Zhang Daqian, he joined Shu Painting Society and cooperated frequently. After liberation, he went to Beijing at the invitation of Xu Beihong and Li and lived in Beijing for more than ten years. Most of the seals used in Xu Beihong's paintings in his later years were carved by Ma Wanli. 1953 Ma Wanli was deeply saddened by the news of Xu Beihong's death and didn't write to mourn his friend for several weeks.

At that time, Kou was suffering day by day, and celebrities from all walks of life gathered in Guilin. Zhang Daqian cooperated with Wanli to show off the peak map, and painted himself as a frame, leaving Wanli. Xu Beihong still lives in Duxiu Park, and Wan Li lives in the upstairs of Zhonghua Bookstore. As opposed to Xu Zhichi, it is still a good opportunity to communicate with each other.
……
As early as the summer of the 24th year of the Republic of China, when Xu Beihong visited Guilin for the first time, he saw that Wan Li's new works were better than before, so he greatly praised them and made a preface for them. A little cloud said, "Ma Jun has a beautiful style of painting, only thinking about elegance, creating something, and not doing business properly. Calligraphy, like Amin, is fascinating, and printing is particularly sophisticated, which was unknown in the past. " Xu Xu can be said to be an outstanding theory of fame and a critical comment on many arts in Wan Li.
(Excerpt from Yu Yifu's Preface to Changzhou Local Records 90/4 Ma Wanli Family Paintings).
June 1936 organized the first art exhibition in Guangxi, which officially opened on July 5. It lasted for nearly a month. * * * Nearly 500 paintings by famous artists and writers in this province, such as Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Qi Baishi,, Gao and Liu Haisu, were exhibited. He (Ma Wanli) and Xu Beihong served as censors together.

1937165438+1participated in the calligraphy and painting exhibition hosted by Guangxi Women's Anti-Japanese Support Association in early October. This exhibition shows 138 paintings, and he donated 20 paintings himself, which is as eye-catching as Xu Beihong. On the same day, Guangxi Daily wrote when reporting the grand opening of the exhibition: "Xu Beihong's horse is the best in painting." "Secondly, there are many paintings by Ma Wanli, which make tourists feel that they are in the mountains and rivers." Guo Dejie (Mrs. Li Zongren), president of Guangxi Women's Anti-Japanese Support Association, personally presided over the evaluation of painting prices, which were divided into five prices, namely 50 yuan, 30 yuan, 20 yuan, 5 yuan and 2 yuan, and the works were selected by lottery. Although his paintings are as expensive as Xu Beihong's, the fundraiser is still excited and proud to get his paintings.
……
1939, he and Xu Beihong, Feng Zikai, Ma, Lin Suyuan, Zhang Zuochu, Long Gan and Zhou Tianyou jointly published the Notice of Mr. Lin Banjue's Seal Carving, which greatly praised Lin Banjue's seal carving.
(Excerpted from Cultural Celebrities in Guilin during the Anti-Japanese War by the Literature and History Information Committee of Guilin Municipal Political Consultative Conference)
He (Ma Wanli) often teaches me to read more, observe more, think more and draw more. He said, "You can't get the fragrance of plum blossoms without some frost and bitterness", which means that only by suffering can you succeed. He also quoted master Xu Beihong as saying, "Everyone can succeed, but he must have strong perseverance to create it" to teach our generation to make progress.
When Xu Beihong had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and died unfortunately on September 26th, 1953, Wan Li was uncharacteristic and did not paint for more than a week (he did not stop painting every day on weekdays). He was silent all day, and later asked me to accompany him to watch the exhibition "The Legacy of the North Rainbow" many times, showing his regret for China's loss of this talented artist and his grief for the loss of his bosom friend and good friend.
In the next few years, I accompanied Wan Li to see the exhibition of Xu Beihong and Qi Baishi many times, which was a good opportunity for him to learn painting art to commemorate his old friend, so I was reluctant to leave. According to Mrs. Mo Yu, when Wan Li visited an art exhibition, he stayed in the exhibition hall from morning till night, but he didn't eat or drink all day.
(Excerpt from-wang qian Drunken Chrysanthemum)
Interpretation of Xu Beihong's "Guilin Duxiufeng Atlas";
The mountains and rivers are full of exquisite flowers and trees, and the brocade screen looks around. This is the design of the engineer, and the engineer must be a miracle worker. Mr. Wan Li's writing about Guilin's unique Xiufeng is ingenious and interesting. It is a slang sentence and a response to the quatrain of climbing the peak in a book day. It is extremely shameful that he failed to hide others. September of the twenty-seventh year is sad.

Summary: Teacher Wan Li teaches kindly. Sad and generous.
Note: The person mentioned in the previous paragraph should be Ma Wanli.
Ma Wanli (1904- 1979) is a famous painter and art educator. Mr Wan Li became an artist at an early age. In the 1920s and 1930s, he was famous in Jiangnan. His books, paintings and seal cutting are extremely accomplished, and he is known as the "three wonders" of the art forest. Around 1945, Mr. Xu Beihong and Mr. Ma Wanli both lived in southwest China, and they were close friends. Mr. Hong Bei once prefaced Mr. Wan Li's solo exhibition and praised it with the words "Paying back the money diligently and entertaining the Central Plains, and Ma Jun Wan Li is very famous". Mr. Zhang Daqian and Mr. Zhang Daqian also jointly created The Picture of a Loose Cat and The Picture of Three Friends in a Cold Year. In the early days of the founding of New China, he went to live in Beijing at the invitation of Xu Beihong and Li. 1953 On September 26th, Mr. Wan Li was shocked to learn of the death of Mr. Beihong, and was deeply saddened. After a few days of silence, he stopped writing and painting, and his grief was deep, which showed the deep friendship between the two gentlemen. 1960, Mr. Ma Wanli returned to Guangxi as the deputy director of Guangxi Literature and History Museum.
Make an appreciative comment
As early as at the beginning of his return to China, Xu Beihong had firmly established the strong artistic concept of "art for life", and almost all the images in his works were endowed with a very distinctive and unique symbolic meaning as an artistic tool for advocating the country and pioneering the people. In particular, his horse-themed works show different meanings in different situations, different gestures and movements, and different image combinations. For example, horses that rest on the grass and look leisurely show sympathy for strangers and soldiers, while horses with flying manes show encouragement to frontline soldiers and hope for the future of the country; Even those works with this theme that are given to relatives and friends still have profound implications. Interestingly, in Xu Beihong's works, the galloping horse endowed with this symbolic meaning is usually designed to ride alone.
The masterpieces of famous painters and seal engravers were presented by Xu's family. The whole painting only uses thick ink to outline the outline of the running horse, scribbles on the horse's knees, sweeps away the neck mane and tail mane, and smudges the horse's body slightly with fresh water ink. The pen and ink are very concise, and the effect is extremely fast, so that the viewer's eyes have to move forward quickly with its pen and ink, but in a trance, he only feels that a horse with high head and flying mane has come running with surprise, which is quite dynamic. Grass, as a combination of galloping images, is simply treated as a faint yellow grass in the painting, instead of the figurative grass leaves outlined with meticulous brushwork in the works with the theme of horse rest, in order to highlight the galloping trend and speed of galloping horses, which is for the owner's mind.
Another noteworthy phenomenon is that the angle between the horse's body and the paper plane is also an extremely interesting detail in Xu Beihong's horse-themed works. Looking at his works, most of them are at an angle of 30 degrees and 45 degrees with the paper, and there are few such works with horses nearly 90 degrees perpendicular to the paper. Ma Wanli's contacts with Zhang Daqian can be found in historical books all over the country. I met in Shanghai in my early years and joined Qiuying Society and Bee Painting Society. Later, he entered Bagui with Huang and met Daqian. Together with Xu Beihong, they forged a profound friendship in the mountains and rivers of Guilin. Guilin's unique Xiufeng was the collaborative work of Ma Wanli and Zhang Daqian at that time. There is also a picture of Zhang Yunxi Jing She, which is also the first line of Zhang Daqian's questions. After entering Sichuan, he had to mend fences with Zhang Daqian, and cooperated in such works as Climbing Autumn Mountain and Bamboo Map (Zhang Daqian painted tall and comfortable, wrote pines and wrote Luo). During this period, Daqian also presented a self-portrait to Mr. Wan Li.

Wanli and Daqian have a lot of calligraphy. The young Yu Cenwei has made an appointment, and when he was with Shanghai, he spread it frequently. After the Wanli Journey to the West, Daqian and Beihong also went to Nanning successively and cooperated many times. Among them, "Three Friends in the Cold Year" written by Daqian who wrote pine and painted plum sadly and Wan Li who made bamboo was made at this time. It marks the friendship between them and becomes a story of an art forest. Later, in Guilin, three people climbed the Dumu Peak twice together. Daqian's handwritten scroll "Man Lu Daqian Co-wrote Guilin Du Xiufeng" was written after the second downhill. Sadness is the first line of writing, and there are poems to record it. At that time, celebrities had many poems. Wan Li also prefaced his solo exhibition in Nanning and framed it into a long volume. Now it has been collected as a literature treasure by Guangxi Museum. In the following two years, Wanli and Daqian met again in Shu. He is 42 years old and once painted a portrait of himself with the title: "I was an old friend of Wan Li when I was in Qingcheng Mountain, and that was June 10th." It was also engraved with the words "not Jewish" in white as a gift. On the edge of this seal, it says, "A thousand and ten thousand calendars." As the saying goes, it comes and goes, and Wan Li is a prolific writer. He painted fine works and gave them to Daqian. There must be many of them. As for the seal for Daqian, there are now as many as six or seven pieces.
……
Wan Li's seal cutting is unique and has become a family. Practice calligraphy and stone carving diligently since childhood, hang calligraphy and painting at home, and dig out the seal with a knife to copy. 1938, Zhang Daqian wrote 900 Stone Prints of Jingshe House, which was printed by Wan Li. Daqianfu inscribed Zhu, the first edition of Tao Zhu Map, which is the "first line" before the map. Mr. Ma Yifu, a famous scholar, talked about a long topic, which became famous for a while and became a volume. Three days before the long summer, the Japanese bombed Chongqing, and the city was burnt down. Wan Li lived in Dingqier. All his paintings were destroyed, but this volume survived.

criticize
Among the 72 paintings and calligraphy works collected in the History of Painting of Danqing, I (Wan Junchao) am most interested in the fourteen works of Zhang Daqian (page 10 1- 193 of this book). Detailed information and profound skill in examining questions. For example, there is a picture of Zhang Daqian's self-portrait at the age of 42, with the caption: "A self-portrait of a layman at the age of 42. When I am an old friend of Wan Li, I am in Qingcheng Mountain, and Chen Geng is also on June 10. " Chen Geng is 1940. According to Jin Woo's research, the "old friend of Wan Li" mentioned in the preceding paragraph is a famous painter Ma Wanli (1904-1979). According to the reports in Shen Bao 1928 to 193 1, he consulted six news reports about Zhang and Ma's contacts in Shanghai that year to prove their extraordinary friendship.
(Excerpted from-Reading picture shows Reading Stone Tianya Reading Weekly column 20 12, No.0018 (total No.6612, 10, 15). As soon as they met, the two masters appreciated each other and often got together to learn skills. Until Ma Wanli returned to Guangxi at the invitation of the Guangxi government, they kept in touch and exchanged visits by letter. During their stay in Beijing, they collaborated on works such as Bluebird in the Sky.
Interpretation of Li Kuchan s Letter to Ma Wanli;
Brother Wan Li said, "I studied early, but I'm sorry for my old illness." . When I was in Beijing, I was in trouble because of various conditions and couldn't help. I deeply hate my luck. My brother went to Guangxi to inquire about the news and got good news. Fortunately, he is far away. Every time Zhu Huiran's brother came to Beijing, he was comforted by friends and comrades in Nanning. Mr. Xie visited the exhibition many times, and he made great progress, just as my brother said. If you put your brother in a superior position, your work should not be under Xie Jun. If your best friend doesn't flaunt it, you have actually heard it.
Madame's painting, one imitation, two realism (sketch) and three independent creations (creation), can become everyone in one. If only the first two items are achieved, so will ordinary painters. The fallacy is ridiculous. My blood pressure is still high, but I still teach as usual. Fortunately, I have taught this semester. But my personal creation has not been absorbed so far, and I really feel that my skills are poor. Xu Linlu is still a section chief in Heping. Since the government instructed thrift in 2002, Chinese paintings have been hard to sell, and it is difficult to make a living by selling them alone. Give up the past, An Ru, and pray for the release of distant thoughts. This is to commemorate. It is very important to maintain the county seat!
