高剑父是革命者,不论在画坛还是政界。但作为以中庸、平衡著称的天秤座代表,高剑父倡导的折衷派新国画最值得称道,他融合中国传统技法和西洋画法,不仅描绘花鸟、山水、人物等传统题材,而且飞机、坦克、西式火腿、饼干、飞鱼等新事物亦出现于画面中。这种“想什么就画什么”的境界是很多大家也都难以企及的。 Gao Jian Fu is a revolutionary, both in painting and politics. However, as the neutral and balanced representative of Libra, the eclectic New Chinese Paintings advocated by Gao Jianfu is the most commendable. His fusion of traditional Chinese techniques and Western painting not only depicts the traditional themes of flowers and birds, landscapes and figures, Western ham, cookies, flying fish and other new things also appear in the screen. This “what to draw what” realm is that many of us are also difficult to match.
