近期我公司征集了一幅黄胄毛驴图，整幅为纸本水墨设色画作。画卷为纵卷，长99cm，宽49厘米。图中驴嬉戏玩耍的场景，构图饱满，黑色笔墨把常见的家畜描绘的栩栩如生，笔走龙蛇、简练传神，寥寥几笔，形神尽显。黄胄以驴为题材的作品很多，作品将四头驴画于一幅，最上一组有三头，是画面的主体，取正面、侧面姿态；左下角一头为一组，又背、侧两种姿态；丰富多变的姿态组合，可见黄胄对画驴的高度熟练。作品笔法奔放，墨色变化丰富，笔意简练而形象准确。黄胄的画极注重造型，线条粗犷、遒劲，笔墨淋漓尽致。作为动物画大家，在他一生的创作中，笔下的动物，常被赋予忠诚、正直、勇敢等人格化的审美特征，但也能回归到生活本身的温馨和诗意。他善于捕捉动物的表情动态，画画手法多样化，泼墨与勾勒语言在画面上形成鲜明对比，使笔墨与造型美高度统一，可从中感受到其眼光独到的一面。黄胄一生画驴无数，被誉为世界闻名的“画驴大师”，他笔下的毛驴可与齐白石笔下的虾相媲美，所以此画极具收藏价值和艺术观赏性。

In the picture, the donkey is playing, the composition is full, and the black ink describes the common domestic animals lifelike. The strokes run like dragons and snakes, and are concise and vivid, and a few strokes show the spirit. Huang Zhou painted a lot of works on the subject of donkeys. In his works, four donkeys are painted in one picture. The top group has three heads, which is the main body of the picture. The lower left end is a group, and the back and side are two kinds of posture; The rich and varied posture combination shows that Huang Zhou is highly skilled in painting donkeys. The brushwork is bold, the ink color is rich, the brushwork is concise and the image is accurate. Huang Zhou's paintings pay great attention to the shape, the lines are rough and strong, and the ink is incisive and incisive. As an animal painter, in his life's creation, the animals under his pen are often endowed with such personal aesthetic characteristics as loyalty, integrity, bravery, etc., but they can also return to the warmth and poetry of life itself. He is good at capturing the dynamic expression of animals, with a variety of painting techniques, splash-ink and outline language in sharp contrast on the picture, so that the brush and ink are highly unified with the beauty of the shape, from which you can feel his unique vision. Huang Zhou painted many donkeys in his life, known as the world famous "donkey painting master", his donkey can be compared with Qi Baishi's shrimp, so this painting is of great collection value and artistic appreciation.
在20世纪，中国近代美术史进入到了最为辉煌也最值得书写的历史时期，一大批风格迥异的杰出国画艺术家造就了这一段丰富灿烂的国画发展史，创作了大量表现现实生活的作品，彰显了中国画在一个时代的伟大复兴。1991年，黄胄任中国第一座大型民办公助的现代化艺术馆——炎黄艺术馆艺术馆馆长，并捐献出自己收藏的古代书画文物200余件和代表代、速写作品1000余件。炎黄艺术馆在保护、弘扬民族艺术，推动艺术教育公益事业发展以及加强国际文化交流等方面做了很多工作，黄胄的艺术道路、治学精神以及对推动民族文化发展的执著追求，在国内外影响深远。黄胄在丰厚的生活根基上，形成鲜明的个人绘画风格，是国内最早突破蒋徐体系的人物画家，也为当代美术发展产生了积极和深广的影响。
In the 20th century, the history of modern Chinese art has entered the most glorious and worthy of writing. A large number of outstanding Chinese painting artists with different styles have created this rich and splendid history of Chinese painting, and created a large number of works showing real life, highlighting the great revival of Chinese painting in an era. In 1991, Huang Zhou became the director of Yanhuang Art Museum, China's first large-scale private government-funded modern art museum, and donated more than 200 pieces of ancient calligraphy and painting relics and more than 1,000 pieces of representative and sketch works in his collection. Yanhuang Art Museum has done a lot of work in protecting and promoting national art, promoting the development of art education and public welfare undertakings, and strengthening international cultural exchanges. Huang Zhou's artistic path, academic spirit and persistent pursuit of promoting the development of national culture have far-reaching influence at home and abroad. On the basis of rich life, Huang Zhou formed a distinctive personal painting style, which was the first figure painter to break through Jiang Xu's system in China, and also had a positive and profound influence on the development of contemporary art.
黄胄非常喜欢画驴，黄胄在1949年参军后来到了新疆，从此一生与新疆结缘，创作了大批反映祖国大西北的作品。后随师赵望云赴八百里秦川、广袤浩瀚的新疆写生，所见最多的动物就是毛驴，故对毛驴印象最深。部队驻地老百姓家家户户养毛驴，黄胄助民劳动学会了饲养毛驴，黄胄曾长时间观驴、放驴、与驴接触、以驴为友、和驴对话，这或许就是他艺术创作的生活源泉，黄胄先生认为，驴是人类忠实的朋友，在中国的传统文化里，毛驴一直是低贱卑微，甚至是愚钝的象征，但在黄胄的眼里，毛驴却负载着他所崇敬的美德，他笔下的毛驴形象温良恭顺、忍辱负重、鞠躬尽瘁、死而后已。人们常说生活是艺术创作的源泉，黄胄先生则更彻底，他认为“生活是艺术创作的唯一源泉”。黄胄当时曾说，也不知道为什么主义奋斗，但对现实生活中的到处是贪官污吏深恶痛绝，作为画家必须反映老百姓的苦难生活，可以认为黄胄先生是一位纯粹的艺术家。
Huang Zhou likes painting donkeys very much. After joining the army in 1949, Huang Zhou came to Xinjiang. Since then, he has been close to Xinjiang and created a large number of works reflecting the great Northwest of the motherland. After the division Zhao Wangyun went to eight hundred miles Qinchuan, the vast Xinjiang sketching, the most seen animal is the donkey, so the donkey is the most impressive. Huang Zhou helped the people to work and learned to raise donkeys. Huang Zhou used to watch donkeys for a long time, put donkeys, contact with donkeys, make friends with donkeys and talk with donkeys, which may be the source of life for his artistic creation. Mr. Huang Zhou believes that donkeys are loyal friends of human beings, and donkeys have always been a symbol of inferiority and even stupidity in Chinese traditional culture. However, in the eyes of Huang Zhou, the donkey was loaded with the virtues he revered. The image of the donkey under his pen was gentle, obedient, bearing humiliation, dedicated and dead. People often say that life is the source of artistic creation, Mr. Huang Zhou is more thorough, he believes that "life is the only source of artistic creation." Huang Zhou said at that time that he did not know why he was struggling, but he was deeply disgusted with the corrupt officials everywhere in real life. As a painter, he must reflect the sufferings of ordinary people, so he could be considered a pure artist.
黄胄画驴数十年，最初他是为了搜集生活素材进行创作，“虽不及牛马高贵，却能经风雨、耐霜雪，忍辱负重，辛劳终生，憨绝痴绝”，从黄胄的话中尽显他对驴的喜爱之情。后来，黄胄有意把画驴当成了锤炼笔墨的主要途径，一直未曾间断。随着孜孜不倦的探索和研究，慢慢地达到了精妙入神的境界，成为他最擅长的绘画题材。黄胄画驴由于是从生活中而来的创作，在他的作品中，几乎都有毛驴的形象出现，笔下的毛驴构图丰富多变，形态组合更是生动多姿，既造型准确又具有笔墨趣味，毛驴形象生动、自然、可爱，具有浓郁的生活气息和情趣。在那个时代，国人接触到了西画体系的理论和技法，开始尝试和研究将西方写实元素运用到我们的传统绘画当中，但是国画笔墨和素描造型技法的融合一直无法解决。黄胄的水墨毛驴成为他解决笔墨和造型关系的突破点，实现并解决了一直困扰着当时国内美术界笔墨和造型统一的问题。他独创性地将速写融入中国画，开启了全新的人物画笔墨范式，拓展了中国画艺术语言。他的作品写意里有工笔，也有重彩的东西，这些都容纳到非常和谐的一个状态里，这个能力是没有人能比的。
Huang Zhou painted donkeys for decades, initially he was to collect living materials to create, "although not as noble as cattle and horses, but can withstand wind and rain, frost and snow, endure humiliation, hard life, silly and crazy", from Huang Zhou's words fully show his love for donkeys. Later, Huang Zhou intentionally took donkey painting as the main way to hone his pen and ink, which has not been interrupted. With tireless exploration and research, he slowly reached the realm of exquisite ecstasy, and became his best painting subject. As Huang Zhou painted donkeys from life, almost all of his works have images of donkeys. The composition of donkeys in his works is rich and varied, and the form combination is even more vivid and colorful, which is not only accurate in shape but also interesting in ink and brushwork. The image of donkeys is vivid, natural and lovely, with a rich breath of life and interest. At that time, Chinese people came into contact with the theories and techniques of Western painting system, and began to try and study the application of Western realistic elements to our traditional painting, but the integration of Chinese painting and sketch modeling techniques has been unable to solve. Huang Zhou's ink donkey became a breakthrough point for him to solve the relationship between pen and ink and modeling, and realized and solved the problem of the unity of pen and ink and modeling that had been troubling the domestic art circle at that time. He creatively integrated sketch into Chinese painting, opened a new model of figure painting and expanded the artistic language of Chinese painting. In his freehand brushwork, there are meticulous brushwork and heavy colored things, which are contained in a very harmonious state, and this ability is no one can compare.
黄胄善于运用速写的表现手法抓住事物的生动形态，线条流畅，不拘笔法，风格奔放，作品富有浓郁的生活气息。他创作精力旺盛，生活积累丰富，往往画大幅作品也无需起稿，放笔直扫，笔下所出奕奕有生气。黄胄先生是新中国绘画史上重要开拓者，他将西方素描与中国笔墨相结合，他全新的精神、意境、手法开辟了中国水墨画的新时代，弥补了严格绘画写实带来的弊端。黄胄把西方的素描与中国笔墨结合的很成功，更加突出了所塑造对象的生动性和笔墨的流畅性，他笔下的毛驴可称得上笔墨趣味独特，造型熟稔，当世之人无出其右，达到了炉火纯青、出神入化的地步。
Huang Zhou is good at grasping the vivid form of things by using the expression technique of sketch. His lines are smooth, his style is unrestrained, and his works are full of rich life atmosphere. His creative energy is strong, life accumulation is rich, often do not need to draw large works, put straight sweep, the pen is lively and lively. Mr. Huang Zhou is an important pioneer in the history of new China painting. He combined Western sketch with Chinese pen and ink. His brand-new spirit, artistic conception and technique opened up a new era of Chinese ink painting and made up for the shortcomings brought by strict painting realism. Huang Zhou successfully combined western sketches with Chinese pen and ink, which highlighted the vividness and fluency of the objects he shaped. The donkey in his works can be said to have a unique taste in pen and ink, and its shape is familiar, and it has reached the point of being pure and marvelous.
这件作品初看十分平淡，玩味后，似能发现它的长处，第一，笔墨十分简练，几乎没有多余的废笔，但将毛驴的外形，神气皆表现了出来；第二，质朴无华，黄胄有许多作品笔墨飞动、神采奕奕，但这件作品有异趣，是“无意于佳乃佳”的产物。2023年5月，根据《国家文物局关于颁布1911年后已故书画等8类作品限制出境名家名单的通知》，其作品已一律不准出境。
At first glance, this work is very plain, after playing with it, you can seem to find its strengths, first, the ink is very concise, almost no redundant waste pen, but the shape of the donkey, the air is shown; Second, plain and unadorned, Huang Zhou has many works with flying ink and lively, but this work has a strange interest, is the product of "no intention to be good". In May 2023, according to the Notice of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage on Promulgating the List of Eight Types of Works Restricted from Leaving the Country after 1911, including dead paintings and Calligraphy, all of his works were not allowed to leave the country.
