| 十二时君威图 | TWELVE MIGHTYONARCHES |
此张画长20尺，宽3尺，是一张巨作，在 构思和创作过程中用了三年多时间，以图 中的十二只老虎代表十二个时辰（即24小 时）保持君子的威信，表达了作者对于做 人标准的渴求。。。。此十二只，在行笔 上一气呵成，神态各异，威猛逼真，眼睛 炯炯有神，饱含生气，笔法爽朗，色泽鲜 润，在着色上采用西画手法反复皱染，克 服了中国画在笔纸上的困难，使虎的着色 有油画的效果，此巨幛大幅颇得气势。 |
Usually 120" long and 36" wide, it took the artist an immense period of time to design and paint. The twelve tigers represent the 12 two-hour periods into which the day was traditionally divided, each tiger named after the 12 Earthy Branches. Note: Prestige is the fundamental element of a gentleman. Prestige cannot last when trust is bought by power, but prestige can last with the gentleman when power is bought by trust. A tiger's might is based on its appearance, but people's might is based on their trust. The twelve mighty tiger picture portrays the idea that a gentleman maintains his prestige through his trust. Although individually different in appearance, they all seem alive and active and their eyes full of power and life. |
