This chapter is an additional update. There will be another update in the evening. It is not guaranteed to be updated before 12 o'clock.

Thank you again, astonkg’s great leader

Late at night,

zoo network conference room.

“The pastoral style of this painting easily reminds me of Giorgione’s open-air concerts. The author hopes to achieve a pastoral dream song-like harmonious picture by coordinating the style of the garden and wild nature. To be honest , the concept is good, but it is a pity that the painter's brushwork does not meet the ambition of the composition

"If we compare it with Odilon Redon, who also likes to paint pastoral areas"

Gu Wei Jingdai Wearing headphones, Zhou listened with interest to Mr. Sloth and Curator Tonks' interpretation of the last pastoral painting, and occasionally added a few words of his own opinion.

Listen to these senior experts talking about art. It's really an interesting thing.

Fu Lei's family book mentioned that when he was a child, musician Fu Cong liked to visit Uncle Qian Zhongshu with his father Fu Lei. The biggest hobby of the children in the Tsinghua courtyard was to move. I sat on a small bench and listened to Master Qian talk about art and literature, which was interesting and humorous.

Gu Weijing has a similar feeling now.

Being able to communicate with a big boss at a close distance. It is a kind of joy and privilege, which is the charm of salon culture that was so prosperous in old Europe.

His strength in calligraphy and painting appraisal is his ability to review an independent work of art.

But for the grasp and interpretation of the entire art trend,

It’s a lot different.

In the final analysis, vision makes the difference.

He is just an unknown person who opened a small gallery on the bank of the remote Yangon River.

Since his ancestors. To take root in Myanmar is to deviate from the center of art.

Europe and the United States regard this place as a desert for modern art. This is both a prejudice and a fact.

In terms of understanding of the development of world art. Not to mention the two art masters, even Ms. Katsuko Sakai is more than an order of magnitude better than him

Watching Mr. Sloth and Curator Tonks refer to classics, from a small painting. Starting from the paintings, it connects the classic painters and different painting styles in the history of art.

It is like taking a super two-on-one art history course.

It is enough to make ordinary art dogs go crazy with envy.

On the other hand, Curator Tonks and Anna feel happy.

Detective Cat is obsessed with painting details. The grasping ability is really strong.

The biggest problem that professional art critics have when appreciating a work of art is that they always feel itchy.

For example, if you describe that the color of a certain place is a little dry,

What?What is called dryness

Everyone seems to understand, but they don’t seem to understand.

This is more of a feeling, and it is difficult to explain clearly.

But Detective Cat can always pick up the conversation in a timely manner and analyze this argument from the painter's perspective. There was a problem when juxtaposing and mixing colors. The paint was too thin, resulting in insufficient color mixing of the color points.

Be crisp and direct.

This light sentence is like a piece of wet and astringent cooked cowhide being violently peeled off your nostrils, and like a sharp silver needle, it is like a sharp silver needle. A swollen fire boil opened on your face.

This kind of refreshing feeling is indeed beyond words.

It has been an hour since the recording of the podcast started, and it has already exceeded the expected time. Director Tonks' assistant once knocked on the door of the study to remind the director to pay attention to the time.

The curator dismissed the other party casually.

He is chatting happily now, and other things can be postponed later.

Mr. Tonks was obviously very happy now. His face turned red under the camera, his bald forehead was shining brightly, and his two small eyes were shining.

When the recording of the podcast just started, Director Tonks had already forgotten all those little unpleasantnesses.

For a middle-aged and elderly artist, this kind of joy that directly touches the soul is much happier than making a young girl laugh by telling a dirty joke.

"Ms. Detective Cat, are you interested in coming to Taylor Art Museum as a specially appointed junior art researcher, responsible for explaining the collection of works every day?"

The main recording content of the entire salon follows the last painting The discussion on pastoral paintings has come to an end.

Now is the chat time for the guests to summarize the entire podcast content, and then let the guests talk about topics that interest them.

It's like a casual conversation after a meal.

This session can be long or short. If it is long, you can chat for more than ten minutes. If everyone is not interested, you can just end it in a hurry.

Director Tonks obviously didn't have enough chat, so he directly sent the offer.

Junior Art Researcher

Anna’s ears immediately pricked up.

"Ms. Detective Cat has such good painting skills. It would be a pity to give up her identity as a painter and become an art museum tour guide."

She looked at Tonks with some annoyance. One glance.

This old bald British man seemed a bit disgusting to her.

Want to steal people from me

Anna absolutely cannot accept Detective Cat giving up his career as a painter and spending his time doing art science for the general public.

"Tour guide" is actually a bit insulting to the position of junior art researcher.

Compared to tour guides in an art museum, they are actually more like the person in charge of a small exhibition hall.

The staffing of the art museum is similar to that of a university, so-called junior art museumA researcher is similar to a lecturer or teaching assistant in a university.

Engaged in some auxiliary research work, the daily work content is relatively leisurely.

The Taylor Art Museum in particular is considered a large art museum in the world.

The income is neither high nor low, and it is considered a decent job. The development prospects are good and stable.

Generally, if you want to get a position at the Taylor Art Museum through normal means, you have to be a graduate of the top 100 art schools in the world.

For an online illustrator from a third world country, this offer is quite sincere.

"Thank you curator for your kindness. I hope to be a professional painter for the time being."

Gu Weijing politely declined the kindness of curator Tonks.

For me during the Spring Festival, this kind of invitation was completely out of reach, but now after meeting Mr. Cao and Uncle Sakai, I have a different perspective.

A junior art assistant is not very attractive.

Not to mention other things,

If I could become Mr. Cao’s closed-door disciple, I would have directly stepped into the history of modern art. My status in the art circle is really uncertain. Not as good as Curator Tonks herself.

"Hey, ma'am, let's be honest. The income of an art assistant at Taylor Art Museum is much more stable than being an online illustrator. It's elegant and decent. I can also help you get a British green card."

Director Tonks was a little unwilling to give up and continued to seduce.

Gu Weijing continued to decline politely.

"Well, if you are interested anytime, you can contact my assistant." Curator Tonks saw that Detective Cat was indeed not interested in his offer, so he shook his head angrily.

"Ahem, curator, I suddenly remembered something that I haven't recorded yet."

Anna interrupted Tonks's discussion of the next "Van Gogh" in her mind About the abduction work, he changed the subject somewhat crudely.

"Director Tonks, as usual, every guest who participates in the podcast, I will ask him about his favorite painting style. What kind of art style do you like best?"

"Because of Turner" Anna didn't seem surprised at all by this statement.

"Because of Turner." Curator Tonks nodded.

Turner is to the British painting world what Shakespeare is to the British literary world.

Especially compared to the dazzling array of masters in the history of French, German and Italian painting.

The list of great painters in British history is relatively small, with almost only one name being Turner. This is basically the standard British answer.

"What about you, Ms. Detective Cat?"

"Impressionism."

Anna's heart skipped a beat.

Her favorite painter is the Impressionist Renoir, but she didn’t expect Detective Cat to like her.Same genre.

"Well, Impressionism is a very popular choice. Do you prefer Degas or Monet? If you like Impressionism, I personally recommend you to write an article about your art work." Curator Tonks was happy to show his learned.

“The origin of works of art, the philosopher Heidegger’s lecture on the style of Van Gogh’s paintings and Impressionist works, I have read it, it is indeed very good. After reading this book, I will read the Tokyo University of the Arts Koyama Professor Shengping's article "A Brief Analysis of Impressionist Creative Thoughts" was very rewarding."

Gu Weijing naturally knew this article by Heidegger, a philosopher who was a big fan of Van Gogh.

He has been reading literature crazily with Katsuko Sakai these days.

Heidegger’s critical article about Van Gogh’s representative painting shoes of post-impressionism in The Origin of Art Works was naturally among the documents selected by Uncle Sakai.

"Hey, you actually know Kappei Koyama"

Director Tonks was slightly shocked.

For ordinary literary and artistic young people or philosophy lovers, they may read Heidegger, and it is also possible that they have seen the origin of works of art.

So Koyama Kappei is one of those hidden figures who is relatively well-known in the professional field, but ordinary people and even ordinary non-art scholars have never heard of him.

Only those who have a deep understanding of art will have these articles on their list.

"What else have you seen?" the curator asked curiously.

“There are quite a few, including the thestiifeasaernaobject Impressionist personal static sketching ideas collection by Professor Davis Warner of the Rhode Island Academy of Fine Arts, analysis of the origins of Impressionism and Oriental art published in Asian Art, and Professor Hunter Lowry’s "

Gu Weijing reported a lot of articles like the names of dishes.

It is difficult to read these papers within a week.

But Sakai Katsuko has roughly marked the key points that they may use in the entire paper.

This greatly reduced his study pressure.

"By the way, Director Tonks, I want to ask you a question."

With professional curators at hand, this is a rare opportunity. When it comes to this, Gu Weijing throws He revealed a problem he had when reading a thesis.

"In the article Analysis of the Origin of Impressionism and Oriental Art, it is mentioned that the Impressionists like to use more scientific color principles to paint, and the development process of dark pigments becomes more vivid by mixing colors. When dealing with dark lines, the great Dutch painter Mondrian likes to stop abruptly a few millimeters from the edge. Through the transition of minimal white space, the edges where the black paint overlaps with other colors also have subtle changes, right? The same thing"

"Uh, this, this"

Director Tonks was a little confused.

Gu Weijing actually overestimated Curator Tonks' knowledge reserve.

What professional curators pursue is a broad understanding of art.degree, covering various art schools.

However, in terms of depth, there is no comparison with scholars engaged in a certain professional field.

Curator Tonks has only heard of this analysis of the origins of Impressionism and Eastern art.

Everyone knows that Proust has a huge tome called In Search of Lost Time, but memorizing two famous lines from it to show off is already the limit for a literary young man.

If you really want to read it, even university professors who specialize in French literature may not have read the entire text.

The tip of Tonks' nose was sweating a little.

It's embarrassing to say you don't know at this time, and it's even more embarrassing to talk nonsense.

Damn it,

Ms. Detective Cat, please recognize your own identity.

Aren’t you an online animation illustrator? To be an online illustrator now, you still need to read a thesis. Isn’t this industry so complicated now?

"Let me answer this question for Curator Tonks. You are right. Through the blending and mixing of fine colors, the transition between light and dark strokes and white space, it is a clever way of over-coloring. Method, in the article you mentioned"

Anna softly helped Director Downs.

Today, the surprise that Detective Cat brought to her was beyond Anna's imagination, and she felt that her heartbeat was accelerating slightly.

Anna found all this a bit incredible.

She knows how boring reading literature is.

If you don’t have the devotion and love for art in your heart, it would be a kind of torture for most people in this impetuous society.

She sat in front of the computer and stared at the portrait of the detective cat on the screen for a long time, as if staring at herself in the mirror.

On the other side of the screen, Gu Weijing did not notice Curator Tonks' embarrassment.

Since we talked about artistic style, after listening to Mr. Sloth answer the question, he just asked, "You mentioned that your favorite classical painting school is the academic school. What about modern art? For example, you are a Do you have any good suggestions for the curator to select the works for exhibition, the types of paintings and the direction of style?"

This is what Gu Weijing is really concerned about.

Modern painting styles are in full bloom, and there are various schools. It is difficult to say what is the mainstream.

Actually,

If Gu Weijing wanted to simply paint Chinese paintings, he would not need to consider the issue of style.

In the final analysis, the painting styles of Chinese painting can be divided into two categories: meticulous brushwork and freehand brushwork. Basically, it is difficult to escape from this circle no matter how you jump.

Gu Weijing estimated based on the current progress.

His oil painting and sketching techniques rely on copying old churches and illustrations on the Internet to receive manuscripts, and it may not take long for him to break through to v5.

The progress of Chinese painting improvement will be slightly slower without systematic assistance, but it should be possible to reach v5 before submission to art exhibitions.

So he was faced with two choices,

A master-level Chinese painting painter and a masterAmong the top oil painters, it’s hard to say which one is more powerful.

But if it is v5 level, at least for participating in a Western-style art exhibition like Singapore, oil paintings are obviously easier to be shortlisted from a utilitarian point of view.
