张大千的山水画

胡宝贤 Elsa Lake

            张大千的山水画很美，很有意思。其中一幅画的下面有绿石头和绿草。两棵弯曲的树在石头上。石头的附近有一个凉亭。几个人在凉亭上。凉亭周围有一条河。凉亭后面有绿色的山。山很陡峭，还有一片被云遮盖住的森林。

             张大千是一位很有名的二十世纪的中国艺术家。童年的时候，他的家人想让他画画。在上海他很努力地模仿有名的明清艺术家的作品。在 一九五零末, 张大千的眼睛有了越来越多的问题。他自创了一种泼彩的画法。一九七八的时候他搬到台北。他的家，摩耶精舍，现在是一个博物馆。我选择这张画因为我对很大的绿山有兴趣。

河跟云都是淡蓝和白色的，意味着云浮通过树像水流通过地。于是风景看起来很安静。人在凉亭比有阴影的山小得多。 这暗示了自然比人有力和更重要。要是我在这张画里，我会爬上那座山。我 希望更好的了解这个陌生和有意思的地方。

Zhang Daqian’s mountain and water paintings are beautiful and interesting. At the bottom of one of the paintings is a green rock and green grass. There are two crooked trees on top of the rock. A pavilion is near the rock. A few people are on the pavilion. A river surrounds the pavilion. Green mountains are behind the pavilion. The mountains are very high and steep, and clouds cover the forest.

Zhang Daqian is a famous Chinese artist of the twentieth century. In his childhood, his family wanted him to paint. In Shanghai he diligently copied the works of Ming-Qing artists. In the late 1950s, Zhang Daqian’s eyes had more and more problems. He came up with his splashed color style of painting. In 1978 he moved to Taipei. His house, Moye Jingshe, is now a museum. I chose this painting because the large green mountains interested me.

Both the river and the clouds are light blue and white, which implies that the clouds floating through the forest are similar to the water flowing through the land. As a result, the scenery appears very calm. The people on the pavilion are much smaller than the shadowy mountains. This suggests that nature is more powerful and important than people. If I were inside this painting, I would climb up the mountain. I would hope to better understand this unfamiliar and interesting place.
