Meet Mi Fei
Rani život i karijera
Mi Fei, kineski slikar, pesnik i kaligraf, rođen je 1051. godine u Taiyuanu tokom dinastije Song. Njegovo ranije doba odrazilo je izuzetan interesovanje za umetnost i književnost, kao i neobične veštine pamćenja. Kao član porodice koja je imala bliske veze sa carskom porodicom, Mi Fei je imao privilegiju boravka u kraljevskim palatama, gde je započeo svoju karijeru kao recenzent knjiga, kao i profesor slikarstva i kaligrafije.Umetnički stil i nasleđe
Njegov specifičan stil slikanja maglovitih pejzaža, poznat kao stil "Mi Fu", oslanjao se na upotrebu velikih, vlažnih tačaka mastila nanetih plosatim četkicom. Ova jedinstvena tehnika donela mu je reputaciju jednog od četiri najveća kaligrafa dinastije Song, pored umetnika kao što su Su Shi, Hung Tingjian i Cai Xian. Njegov sin, Mi Youren, takođe je postao čuveni slikar, usvojivši očevu tehniku korišćenja velikih tačaka vlažne mastile, što je kasnije dobilo naziv "Mi tačke".Značajna dela i kolekcije
Zhao Mengfu: Jahači vodeći belog konja (Muzej umetnosti u Indianapolisu, svila) – ovo delo veličanstveno prikazuje uticaj koji je Mi Fei ostavio na buduće generacije umetnika.
Wen Zhengming: Studio istinskog uživanja (Zhen Shang Zhai) (Kineski centar za istraživanje moderne i savremene umetnosti, papir) – delo koje demonstrira neprolazni uticaj Mi Feijevog stila na kinesku umetnost.
Ličnost i kasniji život
Mi Fei je bio poznat po svojoj ekscentričnoj ličnosti, uključujući mani težnju ka čistoći i opsesiju prikupljanjem kamenja, zbog čega je dobio nadimak "ludi Mi". Bio je i veliki ljubitelj pića. Uprkos tome, nastavio je da stvara izuzetna umetnička dela, ostavljajući za sobom nasleđe jednog od najslavnijih umetnika Kine.- Pogledajte više radova umetnika Mi Fei na ArtsDot: Mi Fei | ArtsDot
