The Return Journey of Pen and Ink
by Wang Yanrong
About This Novel
"Returning to Ink" takes the artist's own exploration as the context, and writes about the confusion and pursuit amid the ups and downs of Chinese and foreign artistic trends. Starting from the roots of traditional calligraphy and painting, the author has experienced the collision and baptism of Eastern and Western art trends. Looking back amidst the glitz and hustle and bustle, he finally recognized the origin of the text and returned to the original intention of writing. The work takes the inner contradiction of "familiarity and unfamiliarity" as the starting point. It not only describes the familiarity and attachment to the homeland of calligraphy and painting, but also describes the alienation caused by the changes in personnel in the artistic journey. It also precipitates a firm direction in this contradiction - true art never follows the trend, but adheres to the traditional background, anchors the inner authenticity, settles down in the pen and ink, and moves forward firmly in inheritance. The whole article is based on emotion as the bone and enlightenment as the soul. It is not only a monologue about the return of personal art, but also a sober self-reflection on the impetuous trend of contemporary art. It hides the persistence of art and the character of a literary person.
