Night in June

By Zhang Wuchang

June always makes one feel grievous! Huang Yongyu has finished pictures for June and I think Night in June is the best one. With deepening shades of dusk and blood-like dewdrops, the lotus appear extremely delicate, evoking a feeling of profound respect. A work with such a negative emotion would not be hung in the living room of the rich. But we might conclude as well that this work of art would be worth a lot after the passing of years.

The composition of this picture is quite bold. Theorists without creative any idea are likely to see it as not coherent with the Golden law. But the arrangement of space is just marvelous, reaching the acme of perfection.

The Classic of Daoism says, "Walk to the end of nothingness and grasp the quietest moment. The world is in constant motion and I place them where they should return". Just imaging: sitting in an empty dark room, quietly, a man with strong feelings is looking at the picture against the dark gray wall for several hours and then begins to understand the truth of the words.

Principle is nothing to do with art creation.,but philosophy and truth would be helpful both for the artist and the viewer.
