Song Yue Art Criticism
I observed his sketching, using a hard brush with a thick tip and a short edge, and using burnt ink to draw on the framed album. However, the aura and elegance of the mountains and rivers can be seen. This shows that he has a keen aesthetic sensibility and can grasp the aesthetic characteristics of the object in an instant and express it in a concise and quick way. I found this artistic quality in him to be valuable.
——Lu Muxun, a famous painter and art critic
I haven’t seen paintings like this for many years. Zi Ang’s paintings are very grand, loose, vivid and very good. .
——Li Baolin, President of the River and Mountain Painting Society of the China Artists Association and Vice President of the Chinese Painting Academy of the National Academy of Painting of China
Participated in a delegation of Chinese calligraphers and painters visiting the United States and held exhibitions and exchanges.
Yu is the leader, and brother Zi Ang is the secretary-general. For ten days in the United States, the journey was dusty and it was quite hard to get up early and in the dark. Brother Zi'ang forgot about fatigue and was very diligent. He carried a sketchbook with him and wrote it with a swipe, leaving behind pen and ink and beautiful memories. In this volume of sketches of the United States, each of the six major cities has famous attractions or "city landmarks." There are divisions and unions, and they are cleverly connected into a long scroll using pen and ink techniques. When you appreciate it, it makes people think about it. It can be said that it comes from life and is higher than life.
——Zhou Zhigao, Chairman of Shanghai Calligraphers Association
Guo Ziang’s paintings have two characteristics: first, they are mainly gray tones, and second, the content of the paintings is mainly Songshan Mountain. I think this is true creation. The main reason why Zi Ang's paintings feel good to others is that his paintings are different from others. I like the use of lines in Zi Ang’s landscape paintings. His paintings are majestic and have his own unique style, and he is already a member of the same family. Songshan is Ziang's base, he is from Songyue, and Songyue is his home. The style of Zi'ang's Songyue landscape painting is represented by his long scrolls of collecting styles. I call him the "Opening School".
——Meng Weizai, former president of the People’s Fine Arts Publishing House and famous calligrapher and painter, president of the People’s Literature Publishing House
Zi Ang and I met when a delegation of calligraphers and painters organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles visited Taiwan. We went to Taiwan for calligraphy and painting exchanges and calligraphy and painting exhibitions. I am the leader and he is the secretary-general. Zi Ang observes nature with the naked eye and perceives nature with the heart. He incorporates his natural perceptions into his paintings. I wrote two sentences for Zi Ang: Zi Ang was originally Zhao Meng, and Guo's landscape style was new.
——Yang Zaichun, the famous calligrapher and president of Beijing Sports Publishing House
I think Guo Ziang’s paintings attach great importance to the thought of pen and ink and the skill of pen and ink. This is valuable. Many of them are now No one can do it anymore.
——Ma Dechun, a famous painter and former director of the membership department of the Chinese Artists Association
Teacher Guo’s works are perfect and he is so studious and admirable! Teacher Guo's landscape paintings are very good, and his pen and ink are very accurate. He is a good brother to everyone.
——Li Yansheng, Chief Expert of the Painting and Calligraphy Group of the Forbidden City in Beijing
The biggest innovation in his paintings is that he has his own thing, which is Songyue. Zi Ang likes to use burnt ink sketches directly on large album pages. The burnt ink sketches of landscapes on several of his albums are really good.
——Qi Jianqiu, a famous contemporary Chinese painting and calligraphy market critic and art critic and connoisseur
Zi Ang conducted in-depth research on the Songyue culture and made a large number of sketches and paintings on the Songyue landscape. Hard discussion. It has formed a painting style that pays attention to strength and change in the use of lines, elegant and graceful pine trees, and uses layers of colors to create a simple and solid painting style.
——Li Ming, the famous painter and vice chairman of the Henan Artists Association
Zi Ang has been engaged in the research and creation of landscape paintings for nearly 40 years. Throughout his paintings, all of them are full of passion for life and all of them express his homesickness. He also named his restaurant "Wangsong Zhai", which is thought-provoking and can be used as a lesson.
——Wen Youyan, famous professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Art, Northwest University
Viewing Mr. Guo Ziang’s sketches is full of true feelings, and has great ornamental, historical and documentary value. What he painted was the most beautiful of the Five Mountains, the holy religious place, and the Southern Mountains of China in his heart.
——Chai Jingjin, deputy director of the People’s Liberation Army’s August 1st Painting and Calligraphy Academy, and a judge of the Army’s art series for higher vocational colleges
Seeing Teacher Guo’s paintings, I read from them the static and the movement, “quiet and quiet” ", that is Songshan Mountain. The monks are like living beings in the mountains, making people feel a kind of "movement" and novelty. The mysterious Zen spirit and the majesty of the mountains are well reflected in his paintings.
——Dr. Li Dezhe, a famous painter and the chief painting and calligraphy editor of "People's Daily Online"
Mr. Zi'ang has a loyal and down-to-earth character. I feel that his paintings are just like the person he is. As an artist, he pursues a big realm.
——Yang Liuyi, Director of the Calligraphy and Painting Committee of the Chinese Cultural Heritage Protection Center of the Ministry of Culture
1. Teacher Guo Ziang is a sincere and kind person. Second, he is a very persistent person, and third, he is a hard-working person.
His pen and ink skills are very profound and admirable,
——Peng Yichao, chief editor of "Chinese Art" and a famous calligraphy and painting critic
Brother Zi Ang's landscapes are highly praised by the ancients for their pen and ink expressions. The true taste is deeply rooted in the essence of the aesthetic thought of "all things are known only by consciousness" and "the environment is created by the heart". It is indeed a superior work.
——Li Zhijun, a famous scholar and PhD art critic
Teacher Guo is both my brother and my good friend. Mr. Guo is sincere, generous and diligent. Looking at his works, his pen and ink are very frank, vigorous and pure. ——Liu Degong, a famous Chinese painter and vice president of the China Academy of Art Creation
The clouds and smoke in Mr. Guo's paintings embody the essence of the return of human nature and the "unity of man and nature". His long scrolls with burnt ink, free and elegant lines, and sophisticated compositional layout are directly comparable to those of Huang Binhong. Compared with Jiao Mo master Zhang Dinglao, he seems to be more agile and straightforward.
