　　According to the analysis of Professor Wan Qingli, Mr. Keran's artistic methods and skills include two aspects: the first is to inherit the Chinese tradition;The second is the extensive integration of Western realistic techniques。In Li Keran's view, "tradition" is worth learning and respecting。Since he was a child, he has orthodox landscape, attacked the four monks, and revered Zhao Zhiqian, Wu Changshuo, and paid homage to Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Lin Fengmian, etc., with the greatest ability to break into the tradition。

　　Mr. Keran once said: "For us, tradition is the relationship of blood and inheritance, and foreign is the relationship of nutrition, and the two must not be inverted.。Historically, we have been absorbing foreign cultures, but all of them have been digested and transformed into Chinese culture...If we abandon our own traditions and take root in foreign countries, or try to transform Chinese culture with Western culture, it will be harmful not only to the development of Chinese culture, but also to the development of world culture."。

　　On the other hand, he focused on sketching, with the help of a variety of Western painting techniques of expression, modeling and composition of various skills, it is harmoniously mixed with traditional national painting, reform and exploration。

　　The magnificent landscape

　　Since 1954, Mr. Can Dye has ten times to visit the motherland, visit the natural scenery, on the way to sketch, engraved "precious courage", "the soul of the soul" two seal self-encouragement, to nature as a teacher, carried out a vigorous sketch trip。After the sketching period in the 1950s, he entered the creation period in the early 1960s, and practiced the belief of "going to life and writing a biography for the motherland", and eventually formed a new pattern of "Li Jia landscape" with "black", "full", "rise" and "astringent"。On the basis of the rich landscape materials of nature and life, Mr. Keran deeply breves and simplifies, until "the chest is full of everything, nature is in hand", completing the transformation from sketching to creation。

　　According to the analysis of Professor Wan Qingli, in the composition of landscape painting, Li Keran uses a full-frame composition, with no room left and right on all four sides, which is in sharp contrast to the traditional landscape in which the sky, the ground and the river are represented by white space。At first glance, the mountains and rivers are like door panels standing in front of the eyes, but the mountains in the near, middle and distant views are deep, deep and high, leading to boundless space, producing an exaggerated and immersive artistic atmosphere。

　　In addition, Wan Qingli also mentioned that Li Keran's landscape shows the perfect combination of Western drawing methods and Chinese painting ink. In his mature works in his later years, he has both the black and translucent artistic modeling effect of Rembrandt's oil painting, and Wu Changshuo's stone school, which can make the picture both unified and full of details。

　　A curious character

　　Although Mr. Li Keran's life mainly focuses on landscape painting, his figure paintings are not many, but since the 1950s, under the cover of the brilliant achievements of Li's landscape, his figure paintings have also had an immeasurable impact on the contemporary painting world。As early as the 1940s, the outstanding writer Lao She gave the highest evaluation in the article "Looking at Painting"，Brother Keran's work is probably the greatest one in China ", "he will use the unique simple lines of Chinese painting beauty...It is very clever to transfer the expression of characters in western cartoons to Chinese paintings，So all his characters come to life...Their hearts and souls，It's all coming out of their faces，Pathetic or ridiculous，Live on paper，Live forever."。

　　This exhibition is dedicated to his excellence in his later years。In the vigorous and abundant Li Gong under the brush of the cloth bag monk, simple shape, lift the sky long smile, a naive open-minded gas。Although the style of ink and brush is simplified, the more powerful the ink and wash is, the condensed black and thick landscape of Li School can be faintly seen in his old age。On the picture, there are more than one hundred words old and arbitrary long title, the font knot is rich to see the tension, and the ink is full, there is the meaning of Seal script。The figure painting of traditional classical themes in the pen of Mr. Keran, with the literati's leisure to express the sentiment of life to put down the shackles of the world, both science and interest, unique and innovative。

　　Solemn and elegant calligraphy

　　In his later years, Mr. Keran's calligraphic works created a highly personal style, with interwoven grass, seemingly casual, but as strong and profound as his paintings, with extremely rigorous rules。The pen is square and round, the ink is subtly changed, and the font is broad and magnificent but smart and vivid, giving people unprecedented strength and vividness。
