Appreciation of works

Since 1954, Li Keran has devoted himself to exploring landscape sketching, and has rarely painted freehand figures. Occasionally I draw one or two paintings, usually at the request of a friend, but not publicly. This "Lotus Appreciation" and "Hejing Enjoying the Cool" are in the same vein: they are both figures and lotus flowers, they both draw lotus leaves by splashing ink, and they draw figures by outline method. They all have a cooling fan. Such works, he has become a classic, has a set of styles. The difference is that this work depicts a single person and a large lotus pond; the other one is two people and only uses a corner of the lotus pond. In the composition, the blank is reduced, and the solid (ink charge) is used as the virtual, and a large area of splashing ink is used to set off the characters that are close to line drawing.

Painting lotus leaves with ink black instead of green is the same as painting bamboo with ink black without green, which is the tradition of Chinese ink painting. As early as the Southern Dynasty, Chinese painting theory put forward the saying that "high ink is still green". The Tang people developed this theory, saying that "mountains do not wait for the sky to be green and green, and phoenixes do not wait for five colors to become green" and "five colors to transport ink". The poem clearly states that the lotus leaf is blue, and the painter's painting is black, and it really has the feeling of blue-the blue color is in the imagination of the viewer caused by the black.
