When it comes to traditional Chinese painting, many people are amazed by its rich cultural imagery and profound spiritual connotations. However, to some extent, this unique art form also poses challenges for foreigners to understand and appreciate. "Westerners may feel a little strange and repulsive when they first come into contact with Chinese painting. Others think that a Chinese painting can be completed in less than ten minutes. Is the painter too irresponsible for art?" Recently, Wu Hongliang, president of the Beijing Painting Academy, mentioned in the column of "East West Questions, Sino foreign Dialogue" of China News Agency. How to eliminate foreigners' misunderstanding of traditional Chinese painting? How to convey the connotation and spirit of Chinese painting in overseas communication? "First of all, we should find the part of Chinese painting that inspires people's hearts and touches their hearts and share it with everyone," Wu Hongliang pointed out. In 2019, Qi Baishi's paintings with the theme of "True Taste in This - Chinese Philosophy in Qi Baishi's Art" were exhibited in Greece. Considering that the Greeks advocate truth and science, while the Chinese advocate the true meaning and mind, and use their own mind to feel the true meaning of life, the exhibition discusses the "truth" in Qi Baishi's art, from the same to the different, so that the Greek audience can understand Qi Baishi's artistic proposition that "the beauty lies between similarity and non similarity", and explain the aesthetic concepts of form, spirit, artistic conception, etc. in Chinese traditional culture. When we enter philosophical thinking, the problems faced by all humanity become more similar, and there are points that can be discussed, "said Wu Hongliang. In addition, Wu Hongliang believes that allowing the audience to understand the artist's creative process is conducive to helping traditional Chinese painting achieve the effect of "maturing into life". For example, in 2015, the "Qi Baishi Fine Works Exhibition in Beijing Painting Academy" held in Hungary showed some of Qi Baishi's paintings, and also arranged the tables and chairs in Qi Baishi's studio, the study used for painting and other details. These designs made the mysterious Chinese paintings close and natural. Wu Hongliang believes that it is necessary to enhance the interactivity of Chinese painting to let foreign audiences feel the "exquisite brushwork and ink" of Chinese painting. For example, Qi Baishi's paintings can be made into highly imitated works of art that can be "mastered", so that Western friends can "write and draw". When observing at close range, the audience can feel the emotional excitement between the strokes of traditional Chinese painting. By solving the problem of how to communicate the subtleties and wonders of Chinese art with Western audiences, the barriers have been opened, "said Wu Hongliang. (New News Agency)
