Lang Jingshan's intensive photography imitates Chinese painting, attaches great importance to artistic conception, learns from ancient methods, and imitates traditional Chinese painting in form. The theme and interest are mostly taken from ancient paintings and ancient poems, which is the unity of China's painting style and photography techniques. It has both personal artistic style and distinctive national characteristics. As Kennedy, president of the American Photographic Society, pointed out, Mr. Nianlang is from China, and he also studies China painting, so he is the first person to apply the principle of China painting to photography.
Lang Jingshan's artistic path and experience are similar to Zhang Daqian's. They both tried hard to be accepted by the world. It's just that Lang Jingshan lacks the meeting between Zhang and the top western artists, but it is much luckier than Zhang to win many international medals. Zhang Daqian has been thinking hard about how to connect China's pen and ink with the world, so as to reach the peak of his life. Lang Jingshan, on the other hand, tried his best to create the flavor of Chinese painting with cameras and photosensitive materials.
Lang Jingshan's art has been wandering outside the mainstream western languages, and only the salon photography circle that advocates classical beauty and first-class has accepted him. Later, he won the honor because it coincided with the great environment of the rise of open western postmodernism and the fashion of advocating China's philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi and Confucianism in the 196s and 197s.
Some people think that Lang Jingshan blindly imitated and pieced together the images of the ancients, which has no meaning of artistic creation. Master Lang loved photography all his life, studied numerous photographic art creations, and brought the highlights into full play.
The Range Rover over the Lakes and Mountains is Mr. Lang Jingshan's masterpiece. This photography is a giant collection of landscapes. It can be said that Master Lang skillfully used the composition of Chinese landscape in the collection works, from the pavilion on the far right of the picture overlooking the mountains and clouds, to the close-up view of strange rocks and trees, the lonely boat on the left, the distant village and the reflection on the lake. This beautiful landscape of Chinese painting is just like the master's life, which is cheerful, quiet and peaceful. This last masterpiece of the master's life and the ending of the highlights of photography are of great significance in history and photography art history.
