Research on the “Wonder-advocating” Thought in Gao Qipei's Finger Painting

【背景】高其佩所处的清前中期，大体上承袭了明朝的旧制，明晚期，受阳明心学的影响，个性意思和主体精神开始觉醒，在艺术造诣上追求着新奇的思想。【目的】在艺术史上，有些艺术家处于遗漏状态，这即正常又不正常。正常的是一部艺术史就是一部遮蔽与显露的历史，不正常是一些重要的艺术家被排除于艺术史的视野之外。【方法】通过文献研究法整理有关高其佩的文章与文献资料，在以仕途和个人经历的角度探究高其佩绘画尚奇思想的渊源，以多种角度去分析“尚奇”思想。【结果】明清时期有尚奇艺术的表现形式，高其佩体现了清朝时期艺术家对于“奇趣”品味的追求。自高其佩开始，绘画中有了指与笔的区分，在他的观念中，指有众多高于笔的优点，这促使他运指作画，形成自己独特是绘画风格。【结论】窥探出高其佩在“尚奇思想”的条件下对绘画艺术有“崭新”的认识，为中国绘画艺术带来新的活力。

[Background] During the early and middle Qing Dynasty when Gao Qipei was living in, he largely inherited the old system of the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, influenced by Wang Yangming’s Philosophy, individual willpower and subject spirit began to awaken, and he pursued novel ideas in his artistic creations. [Objective] In the history of art, some artists are in a state of being ignored, which is both normal and abnormal. The normal refers to that an art history is a history with both masking and exposure, while the abnormal means that some important artists are excluded from the vision of art history. [Method] Based on literature research methods, we organized articles and literature materials related to Gao Qipei, explored the origin of Gao Qipei's “Wonder-advocating” Thought in his painting from the perspectives of his career and personal experience and analyzed the “Wonder-advocating” Thought from multiple angles. [Result] There was an expression form of “Wonder-advocating” art in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Gao Qipei reflected the pursuit of “curiosity” taste from artists in the Qing Dynasty. Starting from Gao Qipei, the finger and pen have a distinction in painting. In his concept, the finger had many advantages over the pen, which prompted him to use the finger for painting and formed his own unique painting style. [Conclusion] It is revealed that Gao Qipei had a “brand new” understanding of painting art under the condition of “Wonder-advocating” Thought, which brought new vitality to Chinese painting art.
