Bad painter painting paintings, always scolded theorists and art historians called. The theory is not called them bad, but they will not criticize painting. But the artists, good artists will not be scolded theorists and art historians, on the contrary would be of great respect. Even moved their small technology and pursue those who dare not mentioned in the same breath.

As far as I know, the soldier saint Sun book "The Art of War," the day when soldiers are not, nor has fought, that is to say he did not practice any military, but the book "The Art of War" 13, Jesus Christ who is directing military operations of the division, not only will the division of China's military strategist, the strategist abroad, entrepreneurs must also teaching. Grandson is a big military theorist.

Hegel is not the practice of painting, he would not draw, but his theory is the framework in the world have an enormous impact on painting. Gombrich does not paint, but painting his theory has been translated text for countries of the inspired artist is immeasurable.

Zhang YanYuan in his "art history in mind," their paper said: "shall not be writing the book, the word is not binding, have been falling Kar-sing, for the life of pain, painting and trace beyond Italy, but for self-entertainment ... ..." also In other words, his paintings are poor, but his "art history in mind," has become immortal through the writings of people known as the "ancestor of painting." In his book, he put forward the "Painting and Calligraphy of the gas, are made to be emotional", "intended to keep pen first," especially the "calligraphy pen with the law" and "not suffering, and suffering on the; that idea, and also why, and this one can not also, if not recognize, is not true also. " This painting of the later have a significant impact. A painting said: "He wrote that" art history in mind "." Means that research is documented in paintings, string art outside of Italy or the smart bar. Even so, he can only say that painting is the object of study, as a bacteria expert, is the object of study of bacteria, microscopic decentralization is bacteria, the bacteria recorded in the book. Are these bacteria than bacteria clever expert? In fact, art historians and artists are two different things, one academic, one art. First, philosophical thinking, one direct way of thinking. Sima Qian did not fought, have not been political, not business, not been an assassin, but his war, political, currency, assassin was true and vivid description. Not a historian, history, future generations can not make a lot of people are aware, there is no art historians, many artists will be submerged after the death of the unknown. Artists should be grateful to art historians, of course, the attacker is not a artist, it is only art.

Have indicated previously, the Sun such a large military theory, and do not have been soldiers, do not have fought. However, in practice there have been people who may not necessarily be engaged in the theory. Theorists such as painting industry Gu KaiZi, Xie He, Dong QIChang, Shi Tao is also Qualcomm Qualcomm painting theory, Huang BingHong, Fu BaoShi, Pan TianSou, Qi BaiShi more yes. I also pass more in favor of both theory and practice of those who excel. However, those who hold theorists, art historians, the barrier theory, the practice can not be too high, should be outside in this case.
