吴镇 (1280-1354)

杨恩佳

这张元朝吴镇的山水画叫“高山绿林”.画里有很高的山还有各种各样的树林.在这张画的下 面有坐着两个人. 看起来他们在聊天儿. 最高的山很远,在山的上面有很多树林. 我也看到了一条小河在画的左边. 在两个人的后面是两个大石头. 这张画用了黑色和白色,加上一点咖啡色.

吴镇出生在浙江,元朝一二八零年.他也有别的名字叫仲圭. 他是个很有名的画家. 他跟黃公望, 倪瓒, 和王蒙一起叫初唐四杰. 吴镇喜欢研究其他画家的画,比方说巨然的画给他灵感.他特别喜欢画渔民在他的山水画里面.

我喜欢这张画因为我觉得这张画又安静又美.我看了那两个人坐在石头和树林的中间. 看起来他们像在聊天也像在打坐. 看见树和高山让我想到世界很大!我不知道为什么他们去那里,也不知道他们说什么,但是我觉得他们又舒服又轻松。

This landscape painting by Wu Zhen is called “ Greenery in Distant Mountain”. There are tall mountains and different kind of trees in the painting. There are two people sitting in the bottom of the painting. They seem to be talking. The tallest mountain is very far, and there are a lot of trees on top of mountain.  I also saw a river to the left side of the painting. Behind the two people are two large stones. This painting uses black and white, and also a little brown. Wu Zhen was born at Zhe Jiang during the Yuan Dynasty 1280. He also goes by another name: ZhongGui. He is a very painter. He along with Huang Gong Wang, Ni Zan, and Wang Meng are together called the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty. Wu Zhen liked to research other artist’s painting. For example Ju Ran (another painter) gave him inspiration. He especially liked to draw fishermen in his paintings. I like this painting because I feel this painting is very quiet and beautiful. I look at those two people sitting between the stones and the forest. They seem like they are talking or also doing meditation. Seeing the trees and the tall mountains make me think of how big the world is! I don’t know why they (those people) went there, and I also don’t know what they are saying, but I feel like they are very comfortable and relaxed.
