Yellow冑(1925-1997), formerly known as Liang Gantang, character Yingzhai, from Li County, Hebei Province, is an important contemporary Chinese painter, specializing in figure and animal painting. He was the executive director of the China Art Association, the vice President of the Chinese Painting Research Institute and the director of the Beijing Yanhuang Museum of Art. His works are close to life and full of the atmosphere of the times.
"Harvest Map" is a rare large-scene labor-themed painting by Huang Yuan. It is based on realism and figurative, depicting the vast pastoral scene during the harvest season. This painting often appears in the form of colored paper mirrors and has entered the auction market many times. In 2005, it was sold for RMB 15.95 million in the first auction at Poly. In 2010, it was sold again at a high price of RMB37.52 million. It has become a representative of the value of modern Chinese painting.
The composition of the work is open, with a size of 123 × 245 cm, and the close-up group portraits are lively: the girl in red, soldiers and animals are juxtaposed; the busy farmer in the middle scene goes hand in hand with the machinery; the vision shows traces of the mechanization of the field. The main color of the overall picture is golden as the tone, which symbolizes the joy of the harvest, showing warmth and hope.
In terms of technique, Huang Xuan has both freehand and realistic characteristics. The pen and ink are chic, with both strength in casual nature, emphasizing movement and vitality; the layout is closely laid out, magnificent but rhythmic. This kind of fusion of "man and the earth dancing together" shows Huang Yan's artistic belief in entering reality, and also reflects the tribute of contemporary society to the workers.
It has deep cultural significance. The characters, animal power and machinery in the painting mirror the rural scene of New China in the early 1990s, and reflect the journey of postwar China from famine to growth. With the theme of "Good harvest", Huang Xuan expressed the hope and victory of rural reform. He once said that "a good harvest is not only a good harvest, but also a symbol of peace and tranquility." This work records the spirit of the historical period and has also become a witness to the integration of art and society.
For collectors and art lovers, "Harvest Map" is not only a fine art, but also a miniature of the times and a carrier intertwined with the glory of laborers. Its market value can be seen from the auction price, and it also has unique collection significance because of its rare large-scale scene subject matter.
