| Summary: | 碩士 === 華梵大學 === 美術學系碩士班 === 105 === The art of painting has its origins far back in China’s long history. After thousands of years of enrichment, revolution, and development, from these models created the variety of styles we have today, be they plain and primitive, bold and vigorous, delicate and regular, or flowing and beautiful. The freehand style of Chinese painting is now commonly used by Taiwanese painters─Shen Yao-Tsu─an artist who was born and grew up in an environment that promoted calligraphy and painting─Zhaoan County, Fujian Province, and who received painting instruction from his clan─SHEN JING HU, and has developed his own style of freehand painting. During Shen Yao-Tsu’s childhood, he lived in poverty and haphazardly learnt various painting techniques. Despite the hardships in his life, he persisted in his painting and creation. By imitating others, he inherited and absorbed the traditional techniques of the great ancient painters. Although His freehand flower and bird paintings drew on the painting techniques of Xu wei, Zhu Da and wu changshuo, impressionistic, but the similarities between them ?So in addition to exploring the Shen Yao-Tsu’s background, biography, and artistic education, this paper analyzes his thoughts regarding painting from six dimensions to identify how unique styles within traditional painting can be created by blending knowledge and temperament. Since ancient times, calligraphy has been inseparable from painting in China; thus, techniques that integrate calligraphy into painting were also identified. Shen Yao-Tsu have suggested that calligraphic skills are indispensable for proficient painting.Wish the results of this study can serve as a crucial reference for future research regarding the artist’s painting concept and modes of thought. With the academicism of art institutes being westernized in the 20th century, how we should change this traditional art form and ensure it is passed on to future generations, are problems we need to discuss as a society.
