Fu Mi: life and work
vida inicial e carreira
Mi Fei, pintor, poeta e calígrafo chinês, nasceu em 1051 d.C. em Taiyuan, durante a dinastia Song. Sua juventude revelou um profundo interesse pelas artes e pelas letras, acompanhado por uma memória extraordinária. Por pertencer a uma família com laços com a família imperial, Mi Fei teve o privilégio de viver nos palácios reais, onde iniciou sua trajetória profissional como revisor de livros e professor de pintura e caligrafia.estilo artístico e legado
O estilo de pintura de paisagens enevoadas de Mi Fei, conhecido como o estilo "Mi Fu", envolvia o uso de grandes pontos de tinta úmida aplicados com um pincel plano. Esta técnica única rendeu-lhe a reputação de um dos quatro maiores calígrafos da dinastia Song, ao lado de Su Shi, Hung Tingjian e Cai Xian. Seu filho, Mi Youren, também se tornou um pintor de renome, adotando o uso de grandes pontos de tinta úmida de seu pai, técnica que viria a ser apelidada de "pontos Mi".obras notáveis e coleções
Zhao Mengfu: Riders Leading a White Horse (Indianapolis Museum of Art, seda) — exemplifica a influência de Mi Fei sobre as gerações subsequentes de artistas.
Wen Zhengming: The Studio of True Appreciation (Zhen Shang Zhai) (China Modern and Contemporary Art Document Research Center, papel) — demonstra o impacto duradouro do estilo de Mi Fei na arte chinesa.
personalidade e vida tardia
Mi Fei era conhecido por sua personalidade excêntrica, incluindo uma mania por limpeza e uma obsessão em colecionar pedras, o que lhe rendeu o apelido de "Mi, o Louco". Ele também era um grande apreciador de bebidas alcoólicas. Apesar disso, continuou a produzir obras de arte extraordinárias, deixando um legado como um dos artistas mais celebrados da China.- veja mais obras de Mi Fei na WikiOO: Mi Fei | WikiOO
