There will be updates from Xie Meng, details at the end.
As soon as the expert opens his mouth, he will know whether it is there or not.
Director Tonks has admired famous paintings and participated in so many art appreciation meetings that he can hardly count them.
To put it bluntly,
Even at professional art seminars or various annual exhibitions at the Taylor Art Museum, there are still people talking nonsense on the podium.
The larger the exhibition, the more so.
Not only are there weird experts who appear out of nowhere, but there are also more congressmen or government officials who appear out of nowhere and like to express their own opinions on works of art.
The senior bureaucrats of the British Empire were very concerned about portraying themselves as art lovers in front of the public and the media.
When holding a meeting, the leader always has to say a few sentences. There is not much difference in this point between China and foreign countries, whether in ancient or modern times.
Director Tonks even picked up on the nonsense.
Generally speaking, if you don’t know how to draw and are afraid of making mistakes and being embarrassed, the easiest way is to talk about history.
For example, looking at Turner's dismantled HMS Dreadnought, recalling the glorious history of defeating the French at the Battle of Trafalgar. It is a common practice to look at the scenery on the Thames and recall the glory of the empire in the Victorian era when the sun never set.
Generally, the speeches written by government secretaries follow this routine.
Aside from being a bit dull and boring, basically nothing will go wrong.
It would be a disaster if these bureaucrats got interested and wanted to express themselves without writing.
It would be fine to regard the prostitutes in luxurious clothes in the pre-Raphaelite moralizing paintings on display as noble ladies, but vulgar jokes such as not being able to distinguish between gouache and watercolor, watercolor and oil painting are also acceptable. It's not like it hasn't happened before.
There are only a handful of people who can break down the aesthetic composition of a painting as detailed as this detective cat, and they are all elites in the field.
If a well-known scholar could say such things, Tonks could accept it, but Detective Cat is just an online illustrator.
And Anna was even more surprised by the way Detective Cat evaluated the painting.
Appreciating works of art,
In fact, most art critics talk more about large and abstract concepts. < /p>
Detective Cat can cleverly capture the details of the oil painting artist's creation.
She did not ignore even the smallest brushstrokes, and spoke with full details, as if she had witnessed the artist's creative process with her own eyes.
"Typical art criticism idea of a great painter."
An idea jumped out of Anna's mind.
This is the difference between watching others draw and drawing with your own brush.
Curators and paintersThe most significant difference between independent art critics is the details.
Being meticulous and perceptive is the privilege that senior painters only have when appreciating paintings.
It’s not that the curators don’t want to capture and analyze the details of these paintings, but it’s just too difficult for them.
Especially oil painting,
It is different from sketch or gouache painting. The paints of oil painting are layered on top of each other, and the layers of colors are superimposed on each other. The light that reflects the outside world penetrates the paint from bottom to top, and is constantly absorbed and mixed by various spectra, which forms the visual effect that is finally captured by the audience.
It is not difficult to reverse this process from the final image.
Anna can easily tell from a broad perspective which scenery is painted first, which content is painted later, and what the painter's overall composition idea is.
But like Detective Cat, even the tiniest changes in warm and cold strokes can be captured.
I can only say that
it is not generally difficult.
At least as Detective Cat just described, in this white Lake Baikal, there are many small details in the submitted fan paintings that even Anna originally ignored.
Listening to Ms. Detective Cat speaking in a gentle tone, she even felt suddenly enlightened.
Anna knew that although she loved art, her talent for painting was objectively limited.
After reading a book a hundred times, its meaning will appear automatically.
This truth is only half true in the field of painting.
Some painting techniques and the underlying details of using brushes. Even if you have seen a thousand paintings and appreciated ten thousand famous paintings, even if you have grown up in art galleries since childhood, you are not a painter. I really can't tell.
If you want to truly understand a painting from beginning to end, in addition to appreciating its beauty, you must also draw it with your own hands.
Detective Cat not only knows oil painting, he is simply a master of it.
Why does such a painter have to hold on to the drawing knife and keep painting? Isn’t it good to do serious oil painting?
“
avo is so true Excellent, such a wonderful and detailed analysis, both me and the audience friends on the podcast platform should enjoy listening to it."
Anna Howe expressed her praise and appreciation without hesitation.
"Especially your views on the contrast between warm and cold color points and how colors stand out from each other are really impressive. I guess you should know a lot about Impressionism."
She turned to Tang Ke Si asked, "Mr. Curator, do you have anything to add about what you said about the detective cat?"
"Uh"
Mr. Curator blinked and scanned Write down your prepared speech.
The changes in light and shadow in Impressionism Well, the other party has already said it.
The details of the contrast between the lake and the sky, well, Detective Cat also said it.
To put it bluntly, a painting can only tell so much.
This kind of classic salon-style podcast, the normal mode shouldIt was discussed by everyone together in a chatting manner.
It’s like cross talk, you say something and I say something.
Each person expresses an opinion, and the host adjusts the atmosphere. They talk about a painting for about ten minutes. Each person talks about two or three opinions, and it ends with laughter.
This is like playing Feihualing and reciting poems starting with a specific word. There are only so many poems that meet the requirements. The first person to appear first memorized ten or eight lines, and the following people memorized ten or eight lines. It's difficult.
But Gu Weijing has no experience, and Anna is happy to give Ms. Detective Cat a chance to express herself.
So he analyzed the entire painting in detail and talked about all the points he could think of.
Director Tonks was hesitant at this time.
It would be overthinking to say that Gu Weijing’s previous analysis made the curator so ashamed that he is now speechless and has nothing to say.
For a senior curator like Mr. Tonks who has been immersed in painting appreciation for half his life, he can always come up with new ideas if he just wants to talk.
But the curator is also arrogant, okay?
He is a truly international curator.
It would be a bit exaggerated to say that the world’s art scene was moved by him, but it is a fact that there are many world-class artists among the people talking and laughing.
If Tonks discusses something that has already been discussed by others, it would be suspicious of others' wisdom.
He thought for a moment.
"Ms. Detective Cat, what a wonderful speech."
"Then I have a question. Do you think this painting has no flaws?" Curator Tonks Youyou dug a hole.
He realized that the detective cat had been talking about some details and had ignored a more fundamental shortcoming of the painting.
This is also a mistake often made by many painters who do not have enough experience.
"The possible shortcomings in the creation of this painting that I can see are that the brush strokes are too hard, there are too many details on the lake that affect attention, making the picture look messy, and the style of the brush strokes"
Gu Weijing recalled the brushwork style of this painting on the light screen in his mind.
The oil painting skills of the third-level professional are great, but they are far from perfect.
"Wait a minute, none of the questions you mentioned are wrong, but they are not big mistakes."
Director Tonks shook his head and interrupted Gu Weijing's conclusion.
“These views are too ingenious. If judged by the standards of a truly excellent work of art, this painting actually has a more fatal flaw, which you did not point out.”< /p>
Mr. Curator touched his chin.
"Humph, he is an illustrator after all."
Director Tonks regained his sense of superiority as a senior curator.
Detective Cat may indeed have some research on pictures, but after working too much as a "taxi driver" for his employer, he lacks some basic aesthetic ability in art.
"Mr. Curator, the shortcoming you are talking about is the appeal of the pictures."
Anna understood what Director Tonks meant. At this time, in order to avoid Detective Cat Awkward and interface.
Whether it is called the appeal of the picture or the emotion of the painting, it is the degree to which a painter integrates his own emotions into the picture.
To explain it in more straightforward terms, it is whether this painting is moving enough.
Painters with good techniques and a strong sense of spatial structure are more likely to make their works expressive.
But this is only relative.
The key to whether a painting is expressive depends on whether the painter has the passion for painting and a sufficient understanding of the content of the painting.
At this time, illustrators have a natural disadvantage, because what they draw is not their own inspiration.
The illustrator is just a tool for your employer.
The industry’s requirements for illustrations are mainly to draw beautifully and meet the employer’s requirements, but they don’t care much about whether there is enough passion for the picture creation itself.
Even among the seven illustrations that Mr. Hyperion asked Anna to appreciate, only the paintings of Jane Arnold, the undisputed number one in the illustration world, can make the audience feel warm.
The sketch of Ms. Detective Cat can only be considered serious.
But then again, the other people’s paintings are not as simple and unpretentious as Detective Cat.
Even the painting by the famous artist De Jong Van Doorn was inexplicable and incomprehensible to Anna.
"The mood of this painting is not good, but it is not bad either. Ms. Detective Cat, you are an illustrator, so it is normal for you not to be so sensitive."
Anna comforted .
Anna was very surprised that Detective Cat had such a deep understanding of oil paintings.
She knows that for a painter, wanting to express one's emotions is much more difficult than simply practicing skills.
Picasso also has some paintings that look perfunctory.
Basically, if the scene is coherent enough and the brushstrokes are serious enough, it can be considered a good painting.
Most of the normal works of a professional painter in his life are also in this emotional range.
It is normal for the detective cat not to see the problem.
"If there is any emotional deficiency pointed out by Curator Tonks, then it is"
As soon as Anna was about to take over the title of the painting, she heard Detective Cat speak.
"This painting is just not cold enough, right?"
Gu Weijing thought for a moment.
In the process of dismantling the painting through the light curtain in his mind, he did feel that the painting was emotionally ordinary in addition to its technique.
On the system panel, it only received the rating of a simple work. The biggest problem is that this painting is not cold enough.
Looking at the white snow, my heart is chilled to my bones. This is a picture ofThe highest pursuit of painting winter paintings.
The art of calligraphy and painting appraisal can see the whole of Paris from the dance at the Moulin de la Galette, and can hear the rumbling thunderstorm from the old church on a thunderstorm day.
This painting is called White Lake Baikal. The title of the painting contains the word white, which naturally represents the lake frozen by heavy snow.
But Gu Weijing could not feel the cold in the image of the appraisal.
It is more like a piece of paper covered with white paint.
"You can see why you didn't say it just now"
The words that Director Tonks had prepared were suppressed in his mouth, and he sniffed a few times. .
"The lack of empathy with the scenery, I think it should be painted by the artist in front of the photos in the studio."
Gu Weijing expressed his inference, "But I I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. There’s nothing we can do about it. We can’t really go to the freezing Lake Baikal to paint.”
Impressionism is more about capturing the fleeting nature of reality. Light and shadow, on-site sketching is highly recommended.
This praise is also relative,
Just like those painters who paint religious paintings, it is impossible to really see God, and they ask people to paint the freezing Lake Baikal live. , which obviously means forcing others to do something difficult.
"Who says it can't be done"
Tonks hummed in her mind.
What’s the point of going to the shores of Lake Baikal to collect folk music?
It’s not appropriate for him to say this. This is a public program, and if it is told to ordinary audiences, it would be somewhat arrogant to say why not eat minced meat. .
But this is what Tonks is thinking.
For the great artist studios that Mr. Curator has daily access to, going to various places to collect styles is part of his job.
You spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a nuclear-powered icebreaker from the former Soviet Union to the North Pole, you spend millions of dollars to buy an island in the Pacific to live in seclusion, and if you want to see the snow-capped mountains, you hire two dozen Nepalis. Erba laborers were forced to carry it up Mount Everest.
Abound.
As long as technology can reach it, even if they go to the moon to collect scenery, these great artists will be willing to wave their banknotes.
This is not a joke.
The first commercial passengers of Sacex’s starship orbiting the moon plan currently announced are six artists. It is expected that the cost of this commercial ticket will exceed 200 million US dollars.
Compared with these big things, going to Lake Baikal to collect scenery is really just a walk in the small park in front of your home.
"Okay, let's leave this painting as it is, let's talk about the next painting"
The last place where he wanted to express his opinion was also filled in by Detective Cat On.
At this time, Tonks completely lost interest in continuing to talk about the white Lake Baikal, and he took the initiative to change the topic.
"Let me tell you my opinion about this watercolor painting"
This time there is no need for Mr. Sloth to invite Tonks.He honestly took the lead in chatting. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
