The Chinese modern calligraphy and painting we are talking about now usually refers to the calligraphy and painting works from the beginning of the revolution of 1911 to the opening up in the 1970s.

在这一历史阶段中，画坛可谓风云际会、群星璀璨，产生了多位划时代的艺术巨匠，如果人们比较熟悉的吴昌硕、齐白石、徐悲鸿、黄宾虹，再到后来来的李可染、李苦禅、王雪涛等。他们所取得的艺术成就汇聚在一起，足以与历史上任何高峰时期比肩。

In this historical stage, the Chinese painting world can be described as an occasion of great changes and bright stars, resulting in many epoch-making art giants, such as Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong and Huang Binhong, and later Li Keran, Li kuchan and Wang Xuetao. Together, their artistic achievements are comparable to any peak period in history.

具体说到收藏着个时期的书画作品，我有以下几点建议供大家参考。

Specifically speaking of collecting calligraphy and painting works of a period, I have the following suggestions for your reference.

买自己喜欢的

Buy what you like

收藏讲究缘分，而缘分不仅仅指机遇，同时还是兴趣，更是心境。如果单纯把收藏看成是钱的增值，时间一长就会令收藏艺术品中蕴含的迷人乐趣大打折扣。我的一位好友一次与我同去看拍卖预展，一进展厅，他就看到了一幅尹朝阳在1999年画的“青春远去”系列中很重要的一幅作品，他马上喊了起来：“这幅画不就是画的我们吗？”他毫不犹豫地将这幅作品拍了下来。这样的收藏不仅满足了他的精神需要，同时也给予他很好的经济回报。

Collection pays attention to fate, and fate not only refers to opportunity, but also interest, but also mood. If we simply regard collection as the appreciation of money, the charming fun contained in art collection will be greatly reduced over time. A good friend of mine once went to see an auction preview with me. As soon as he entered the exhibition hall, he saw a very important work in the "youth gone" series painted by Yin Chaoyang in 1999. He immediately shouted, "isn't this painting us?" he photographed the work without hesitation. Such a collection not only meets his spiritual needs, but also gives him a good economic return.

对收藏家来说，没有哪一次收藏不是费尽心思心的。我的另一位好友2002年在拍卖会上曾见过一幅齐白石的《喜上眉梢》，3年后来当他无意间在一个小城市的画廊再次见到这幅画时，立刻心跳不已，可待一个星期后来筹足资金，再去这家画廊时，此画早已售出。为了寻得此画下落，他用了将近一年时间，后来终于如愿以偿。

For collectors, no collection is not painstaking. Another good friend of mine saw Qi Baishi's "happy eyebrows" at the auction in 2002. Three years later, when he accidentally saw the painting again in a gallery in a small city, he immediately felt his heart beating. But when he raised enough funds and went to the gallery a week later, the painting had already been sold. It took him nearly a year to find the whereabouts of the painting, and then he finally got it.

买好的

Bought

好的才是具收藏价值。举个例子，众所周知周思聪是当代很多知名画家的老师，是上世纪伟大的女画家之一，她在去世前创作的为数不多的荷花作品被公认为是其艺术成就的高峰。几年前，一位收藏家为了收藏其中一幅荷花作品竟花了近30万元万，远远超出当时10万元左右的市场价。但行家心里都清楚，这样的作品是具有收藏价值的。

Good is valuable for collection. For example, as we all know, Zhou Sicong is a teacher of many famous contemporary painters and one of the great female painters of the last century. The few lotus works she created before her death are recognized as the peak of her artistic achievements. A few years ago, a collector spent nearly 300000 yuan to collect one of the lotus works, far exceeding the market price of about 100000 yuan at that time. But experts know that such works have collection value.

买够得着的

It's within reach

收藏有地域性，艺术家因其成长、生活的地域不同，作品也会呈现出不同的面貌，这也就是我们常说的风格、流派。对于我们来说，要尽量选择离我们比较近的艺术家，比如说我们生活在北方，就尽可能去收藏“京津画派”画家的作品，因为这画家们就生活在燕赵大地，很多好作品都留在这里。去一趟北画院齐白石纪念馆，就能看到好的齐白石真的迹，能非常方便地获得对画家、画作直接的感受。

Collections are regional. Artists' works will show different faces because of their different regions of growth and life, which is what we often call style and genre. For us, we should try our best to choose artists close to us. For example, if we live in the north, we should try our best to collect the works of painters of the "Beijing Tianjin painting school", because these painters live in Yanzhao earth, and many good works remain here. Go to the Qi Baishi Memorial Hall of Beihua academy, you can see the real traces of Qi Baishi, and you can easily get a direct feeling of the painter and paintings.

买还没涨起来的

Buy something that hasn't risen yet

虽然目前书画、油画等艺术品的价值已经很高了，但对于一般收藏者来说机会还是有的，你可以买那些还没仃涨起来的画家的作品。要想在这方面有所收获，需要下一番苦功，进行多方面认真的研究。哪画些家的作品值得买，为什么值得买，自己要做到心里清楚。齐白石的作品已经很贵了，那王涛、李谷婵的呢？只有经过认真努力的钻研，才可能掌握蕴含在收藏中的无穷奥妙。

Although the value of Chinese calligraphy, painting, oil painting and other works of art has been very high, there are still opportunities for ordinary collectors. You can buy the works of painters who have not yet risen. If we want to gain something in this regard, we need to work hard and conduct serious research in many aspects. Which paintings are worth buying and why are worth buying should be clear to yourself. Qi Baishi's works are already very expensive. What about Wang Tao and Li guchan? Only after careful study can we master the infinite mysteries contained in the collection.
