Today's popular artists, it is difficult to say what the future will be. Maybe some of them will become popular, some of them will become popular in the future without arousing concern today, depending on the details of each artist, and there are four requirements for a good painting and an excellent painter.

要具有极端鲜明的作风。比方吴冠中先生，有的人可能觉得他有的画作画时间太快，不过，他的作风决议了他载入艺术史，少是20世纪的艺术史。他发明了一种点线面相分离的、自古以来从未有过的画风。一位画家想在艺术史上留下本人的名字，就要靠作风。作风就是人，就是用本人的声音在绘画的舞台上说话，而不是学着他人的声调，拿着他人的言语来阐释本人的了解。因而，具有极端鲜明的作风是中心的要素。

First of all, we should have an extremely distinct style of work. For example, Mr. Wu Guanzhong may feel that some of his paintings took too long, but his style decided that he was included in the history of Chinese art, at least in the 20th century. He invented a painting style that separated points, lines and surfaces and had never existed since ancient times. If a painter wants to leave his name in the history of art, the first thing is his style. Style is a person who speaks in his own voice on the stage of painting instead of learning other people's tone and interpreting his understanding with other people's words. Therefore, the most central element is to have an extremely distinct style of work.

其次，必需具有一定的作画难度。举个例子，的‘杜尚的小便池’，它能够载入西方美术史，是由于杜尚是观念艺术的位探究者，但是，第二个人再要反复就没有任何价值了。绘画与西方绘画，特别是与西方现代派艺术十分不同的就在于，我们极为注重技巧的难度。远的且不说，仅在20世纪，众多巨匠级画家，如徐悲鸿、齐白石、吴昌硕、李可染、傅抱石、潘天寿等人，每一位都有本人在作画方面共同的难度。比方潘天寿，他的几笔看似简单，后人却很少有人可以做到。他一笔画出石头轮廓的功力，令其他作画者望而却步，绝大多数人都知难而退，很难企及他的高度。

Secondly, it must be difficult to draw. For example, the famous "Duchamp's urinal", which can be included in the history of Western art, is because Duchamp is the first explorer of conceptual art, but the second person has no value to repeat. The central difference between Chinese painting and Western painting, especially with Western modernist art, is that we attach great importance to the difficulty of skills. In the 20th century alone, many great artists in China, such as Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo, Li Keran, Fu Baoshi and Pan Tianshou, have their own difficulties in painting. For example, Pan Tianshou's brushwork seems simple, but few of his descendants can do it. His skill in drawing stone outlines deterred other painters. Most of them retreated from the difficulty and could hardly reach his height.

第三，可以留存下来的画作，必需要既可表达客观情怀，又不失根本的真实。 这里所说的“真实”，指的是对物体把握的根本的真实。 一、不论是变形也好，夸大也好，画的是鸡和兔子，就不能分开鸡和兔子的根本相貌，不能说画完以后他人基本看不出来是什么。二、画家必需具备一定的塑造空间的外型才能。

Thirdly, paintings that can survive must express both objective feelings and fundamental truthfulness. "Truth" here refers to the fundamental truth of grasping objects. First, whether it is deformation or exaggeration, drawing chickens and rabbits, we can not separate the basic appearance of chickens and rabbits, and we can not say what others can't see after painting. Second, a painter must have the ability to shape space.

上述三个方面缺一不可，假如只强调共同的作风，而不具备难度和真实，那只需身上涂满颜料，然后找块布打个滚儿，画出来的东西也能够说有很共同的作风。但是，这种作品不具备难度，也谈不上真实，所以，不能称之为。

The above three aspects are indispensable. If we only emphasize the common style, but not the difficulty and reality, we only need to coat the body with paint, and then find a piece of cloth to roll around. The painted things can also say that they have a common style. However, this kind of work is neither difficult nor true, so it can not be called excellent.
