Huo Chen, an 89-year-old artist, walked steadily and spoke with great enthusiasm, and had clear ears and eyes. He was healthy and had almost no major illness. He decided to move forward to the art path at the age of 10 and said, "I never thought of being rich and expensive. As long as I do whatever I want and listen to the nature, even if I want me to die tomorrow, I will be very happy today."
He was in a war and must wander all his life! Maybe it is because he is a habit of leaving without any penetration, he learns to live a life vision and lives in the present.
He followed the National Revolutionary Army to Taiwan with the National Revolutionary Army. Before leaving, he wrote a book on Feng's family to his mother, "She wants me to leave as long as I can, and at least there are books to read in the school." In this way, he arrived in Taiwan with more than 300 teachers.
Later, he was admitted to the Art Department of Taipei Teachers College, saving food expenses every month, and followed the paintings of Li Zhongsheng, known as the "Taiwan Modern Art Instructor".
After graduation, Huo just became an art teacher at a junior high school. But he always had an artist dream in his heart, eager to go to Europe for further studies. "When he was looking for information in the library, when he saw the paintings of Bikaso, Miro and others, he would want to read the original." He said, "I want to make progress."
In those days, it was difficult to go abroad. He Zhang Luo for 1 or 2 years. "I have to find 5 to 6 guarantors to guarantee that you have to come back to fight in the anti-communist mainland. The guarantors still have NT$100,000 deposits. The special prize of Love Voucher was 200,000 yuan that year. How difficult is it for those who have 100,000 deposits?"
"I can only do what I can." He said, "It doesn't matter if this thing cannot be done, but if I don't do it as much as possible, I will regret it."
He succeeded! In 1964, Huo took the decision to "don't come back" and boarded the ship to Europe. He planned to go to France to write a painting, and was at the time when Taiwan and his powerful diplomatic relations were interrupted and he was unable to apply for a certificate. After staying for a while, he had to go to Milan, Italy at a low speed. Unexpectedly, he would last for half a lifetime.
Zhang Luo had to go abroad for money, but he had never gone abroad without much money. He had never gone abroad, "I am very happy. I watch movies, go to art galleries, galleries, visit artists, and painting every day. I spend my time here." He lives in the world he loves.
Europe opened up his artistic vision and found that the painting world was infinitely broad. "Milan is the "City of Art" and there are the latest art information every day." When he went abroad, he wanted to develop in the direction of "super realism". Only when he arrived abroad did he realize that there were too many artists who were better than him, which was difficult to come by.
At that time, abstraction was beginning. "It was clean, dense, and spiritual, which was more difficult and very rational." In order to separate from Western artists, he drew his spirit from Chinese calligraphy and metal and stone, and put in the Eastern philosophical concepts of emptiness and immorality. "Because Chinese calligraphy is very thin," he accidentally opened up a new path with the plain method, becoming the pioneer of Taiwan's abstract art trend.
Don't think about tomorrow today, fully "living in the present"
His paintings are extremely simple, just like his people, never thinking about whether life is difficult, "I suffered more in the battle." He doesn't think about tomorrow, "even if I die tomorrow, I will still be like this today." He is the person who "living in the present".
is so careless, so naturally I won’t worry about not eating. In Milan, when he had no money to eat and drink, he went to the gallery to attend the opening ceremony. "There are 2 to 3 activities in this city a week, with food, wine, and paintings to see." When talking about this question, he laughed.
The neighborhood knew that there was an artist from the East and invited him to teach Oriental Art in the art of the art of the art of the East. Some people also came to learn calligraphy and take children to learn painting and creation. With sporadic income, he was able to live up to the day. "I have never been sick because I am alone abroad and I must pay special attention to my body." Huo Xiao emphasized.
Although he was not rich in life, he was a generous person.
Reception and accompanying musicians and musicians from Taiwan, China and other places in Milan, countless overseas students have received his help. In normal times, his leisure activities are listening to music and buying black glue records. He has collected thousands of black gel records, and he can often see notes in his paintings, which is deeply influenced by music.
In 2012, Huo was 80 years old. That year, Taiwan invited him to return to Taipei and stay in the art village. Therefore, he met his 32-year-old friend, and the two met him as usual. Wan Yixiu took good care of him, which made him deeply moved. After dating, the two decided to get married. This was his first marriage. Just like his life attitude, marriage is natural.
When he got married, he was 82 years old. He said, "I didn't expect to be a few years old at that time, but I just met someone I liked, so I got married." After marriage, because his wife didn't want to move to Milan, Huo had to return to Taiwan to settle in 2014.
"I was born to paint, and the artist never said he would retire. "Huo Xiao never thought about it. The job he wanted to do most in his life could do. "My job is not like office workers, so I can paint it as long as I want."
Philosophy of Nursing: If you don't plan, eat whatever you want
Recently, due to the severe epidemic and closing at home, he read the works of artists he liked, and created a new series of creative works based on black on the round-shaped painting cloth. He said with a playful look: "This is my new work, and it has not been exposed!" At the age of 89, he still has indefinite creative power in his brain and has the ability to complete it.
talked about the philosophy of nursery, and he said: Do what you like and don’t compare with others. In terms of diet, eat whatever I want. "I have lived to this age, how many years can I still eat? Don't live too harshly."
As for what can I keep for future generations? Huo just smiled and said that he would not think about this matter, just "live in the present".
