沈周,字启南,号石田,晚号白石翁,出生在苏州相城西宅里村,现在那里早已改名为沈周村了。沈周的作品,构图平稳,“平中求奇”,笔墨朴质雄浑,“寓巧于拙”、“熟中求生”,设色“妍而不甜”,反对浓重华丽。这些都反映出他的美学思想。笔乃心声,正由于他心地淡泊坦荡,笔端流露的则平易近人,这种亲切、平易近人的笔致,是沈周毕生所求。 Shen Zhou, the word Kai South, Ishida, late Shiraishi Weng, was born in Suzhou Xiangcheng Xizhaoli village, where now has long been renamed Shen Zhoucun. Shen Zhou’s works, composition stable, “seeking peace in the middle”, simple and vigorous pen and ink, “cleverly clumsy”, “cooked for survival”, tinted “Yan and not sweet,” against heavy gorgeous. All these reflect his aesthetic thoughts. Pen is the heart, because of his heart indifferent magnanimous, pen tip is approachable, this cordial, approachable pen, is Shen Zhou’s life.
