困知勉行—徐明义画集8—无题（彩墨）
无题（彩墨）
我在跟学生们谈到水墨画的“光影”问题时，特别强调古代画人几乎都是官员、文人或是他们的妻妾。这些人并不专职绘画，画画在他们心目中只是一种“遣兴”。所以既不重视写生，也就没有所谓的光影的概念。所有描绘的对象都只是“写心中意念”，所以不画影子也就不足为奇了。
其实古人更重视个人修养、品格。认为修为品格高尚的人，他们的画才更有品味，更有格调。有些专画宫殿楼阁，工整平行线条的画，往往被讥弄为匠气太重，不值一提。
这就是文人画的品味。
Titleless/ink and color painting
When I talked with my students about the “shadow” issue of ink and wash paintings, I emphasized that almost all ancient painters were officials, literati or their wives and concubines. These people are not professional painters, drawing in their minds is just like a kind of “hoppy developing” only. So, neither emphasis on sketch nor shadow concept demand. All drawing objects are “writing idea of mind”, so it is not surprising not to draw a shadow.
In fact, the ancients pay more attention on their personal accomplishment and character. Those who are considered as cultivation and noble character, their paintings are more savor and style. Some painters draw palace and pavilions, neat and parallel lines paintings, are considered as triteness in artistic, not worth mentioning.
This is the taste of the literati painting.@
