"Dwarf"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. The reporter liked this offensive word the most.
“In my opinion, art is solemn and has a soul. Forcibly classifying Internet painters like Detective Cat into the illustrator industry is a kind of blasphemy in my opinion. "
"Isn't he an illustrator?"
Fandorn sneered, "Illustrator, God, as far as I know, apart from some amateur anime pictures on the Internet, she doesn't even have one I have never created any serious illustrations. Such a person can actually talk to Director Tonks about serious art, just like a monkey sitting down with Einstein to talk about the theory of relativity. I am ready to laugh. . ”
When the poster for the podcast Mr. Sloth’s Art Review first came out, fans were tweeting about Van Dorn.
Fandorn knew about this, but he didn’t care at all.
If the middle-aged reporter hadn’t mentioned it at this time, he would have almost forgotten about it.
In the final analysis,
With Van Dorn’s current status, he has never needed to regard an online illustrator as a rival.
Ignorance is the highest form of contempt.
If the number of fans and global influence of today's illustrators were displayed in a visual histogram, the column representing Van Dorn would break through the sky like Mount Everest.
The number of fans of Detective Cat is only equivalent to the shallow snow on Mount Everest.
The dwarfs in front of the giant looked up to each other.
When the heat of the video completely dissipates, most of the little snow will gradually melt away with time.
"Oh, but Detective Cat can tell Curator Tonks how she draws anime heroines in bikinis. Internet artists are good at drawing this, aren't they? And I, with my knowledge of Women's respect and morality will never allow me to create such vulgar works."
Van Dorn said sarcastically.
He is referring to a new political correctness issue in European and American painting circles in recent years.
The heroines’ looks in American comics usually contain a lot of sexually suggestive elements.
For example, Catwoman's uniform and bikini armor
Wonder Woman is even more direct. When creating the cartoon, Oliver used three of his favorite daily "entertainment" projects. Inspired by Ping Xing's sexy uniform, he transformed it into Wonder Woman's suit in his writing, which is a model where the wheels of the car are on the face.
Western animation cartoonists have been severely punished by political correctness in recent years.
Fandorn feels that Detective Cat’s only area of expertise is animation sketching, and his level is pretty good, and he might actually be able to express some unique insights of his own.
At this time,
It would not be very effective if he directly attacks the other party for not understanding the art of sketching.
Van Dorn very wisely chose to stand on the moral high ground and use the "Internet Painter" of societyStereotyped negative labels make a big fuss.
He hopes to convey to the public the impression that Detective Cat knows how to sketch, but is just a vulgar and low-level "Internet painter".
The fundamental reason is that
Colored pencil drawing is very downstream in the chain of contempt for artworks.
Compared with oil painting, gouache, and watercolor.
It is less professional and less serious.
Because the threshold for simplicity and popularity is low, it is not “artistic” enough.
If Detective Cat is an oil painter or watercolor painter, even if the subject is the same.
As long as there is sufficient artistic concentration, there will be no such risk.
For example, Van Dorn’s paintings of nude women and Tang Bohu’s erotic paintings.
Can the elegant and exquisite works of art painted by great artists for upper-class gentlemen and the cartoon figures painted by poor painters for losers be the same thing?
The former is art Erotic beauty, the latter is a vulgar nymphomaniac.
Double standards in society are everywhere.
"Actually, I understand too"
Fandorn pretended to sigh, then grinned maliciously.
"After all, after Sir Brown, the chairman of the oil painting team, quickly corrected the mistakes made by the magazine and kicked out the detective cat. She probably can only paint this kind of painting for the rest of her life. With luck, one year I might be able to earn tens of thousands of dollars from this, although I think this kind of painting is worthless, but not everyone is educated enough to understand serious art."
He shrugged.
Serious art circles pay great attention to connections.
Afraid of offending big galleries and big painters.
"A monkey who can only play basic scales."
This is the indelible mark that Van Dorn put on Detective Cat's "face".
Sometimes the boss wants to destroy you,
Just a casual word is enough.
If you go back a few hundred years, no matter how good you were at painting in Florence, Paris, or London, you would have offended the Venetian School, the big names in the academy, the Pope’s royal portrait painter, and so on.
If someone says they hate you, you will become a street rat.
A painter who is rejected by a big painter will immediately be abandoned by painting equipment dealers, art dealers, and residents of the entire city.
No nobles are willing to fund you, and no one wants to buy your paintings.
Why founding a school is the highest achievement of a painter
It is because before modern times, the birth of a new school of painting often meant the destruction of old paintings that originally dominated the art market. Revolution and uprising.
This is a declaration of war by a painter or several painters against the bosses of the entire art circle.
Till death.
The Romantic School of Painting challenged the Academic School and was opposed by the Realist School of Painting. Repin, one of the greatest painters in Russian historyThis was true of the rebellion at the Petersburg Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
Succeed, the king's flag changes on the city wall, and you are the founder of a new painting dynasty. If you fail, you will be a traitor and a clown.
In most cases it is the latter.
By the early twentieth century it was the same.
The artist Gustave, the most important patron and painter of Impressionism, offended the academic leader Jerome, and his entire life's works were rejected from the French official salon, and he was depressed.
The last wish before his death was to donate all his paintings and collections, including more than 100 works by Monet, Degas and others, to the National Gallery of France for free.
The result was publicly ridiculed by Gérôme as "if the government accepted these crude dross, it would be a huge moral loss", and all his paintings were rejected on this grounds.
You must know that compared to this African Internet painter, Gustave is a member of the social elite.
Of course, a hundred years later, the National Gallery of France will regret it.
Detective Cat originally offended Van Dorn, but when he was deleted and "banned" by the oil painting magazine.
It almost represents the banishment of Detective Cat in the entire serious art world.
It is not impossible for illustrators to starve to death nowadays,
But if you want to receive some high-value contracts, don’t expect it, especially after the popularity of YouTube videos has completely dissipated.
Fandorn believes that she basically just draws anime illustrations and online avatars.
"A painter who does not have his own understanding of art is just a soulless craftsman. To say that she is an illustrator is to insult the industry."
Van Dorn concluded "I even think that she has not received professional art education at all."
This is Van Dorn's guess about Detective Cat.
Only relying on such excellent sketches, as long as you have attended a professional art school, unless the professors are all idiots, there is no reason why you cannot enter some large or small art studios.
There is absolutely no need to sell cheap illustrations online.
"Mr. Van Dorn, let me ask one more question. You probably haven't heard of the art salon that Mr. Sloth just launched this morning."
After the interview ,
The middle-aged reporter simply deleted all the photos in the camera in front of Fan Dorn.
Just before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and asked in a very playful tone.
"I don't think it's necessary."
Van Dorn stared at the reporter. He was not a fan of podcasts, nor was he interested in listening to art salons.
Wait,
Fan Dorn suddenly felt that the smile on the face of this bearded reporter was a little weird.
Having been involved in the art and fashion circles for a long time,
He can keenly capture reporters’ interest in news of varying degrees.Feeling excited.
What I just said is definitely not big news.
At least compared to my own interview with Theoon, the caliber is no different.
Moreover,
Now that I think about it carefully, although Van Dorn is very famous, he is still a little inferior to the King of Rock and Roll.
In order to interview him, the other party spent 200 euros just to bribe the shuttle bus driver.
Van Dorn originally expected that reporters would ask him about fashion topics such as this year’s main artwork style and design language.
As a result, the other party asked him for no reason whether the serious art conversation between Detective Cat and Curator Tonks was considered a declaration of war against him.
Normally speaking,
this question is not worth 200 euros.
Unless
there is something else you don’t know.
"What's the problem? Delete all the photos. Don't be so fucking shameless." Van Dorn threatened.
"Don't worry, I don't want to go to jail either."
The photo may be a bit of a gimmick, but the crime of illegally trespassing on the airport runway is not a trivial matter, and may even be considered a criminal offense.
The middle-aged reporter shook his head.
"Don't worry, I just say that because I have always been a fan of Mr. Sloth. When I came to the airport, I happened to listen to that podcast, and I saw your plane coming Landing. I can only say that today is my lucky day."
Looking at the middle-aged reporter leaving happily, Fan Dorn felt a little uneasy for no reason.
"darg, what's wrong with you? Let's have a glass of champagne and wish all the best for the fashion week."
The Hilton Hotel's Rolls-Royce limousine traveled through the narrow streets of Milan.
The short-haired assistant noticed that Fan Dorn was in a trance.
She took out a bottle of champagne and two goblets from the mini bar at the front of the carriage, poured a glass of wine, and handed it over.
"Put something for me."
Fandorn took the glass and took a sip, his mind still on the interview not long ago.
"Do you want to listen to music?"
The assistant rested his head lazily on Van Dorn's chest, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and connected it to the Bluetooth in the car.
"Apple Podcast, Mr. Sloth's Art Criticism, should be called this. The new issue was just updated this morning. The guests should be Curator Tonks and Detective Cat."
Fandorn said thoughtfully.
"Little painters like Detective Cat deserve your attention."
The assistant shook his head disdainfully.
"Hurry up."
Van Dorn urged.
The assistant swiped on the phone for a while and found the podcast Van Dorn mentioned at the top of Apple’s popular art list.
Art Salon 09 ExcellentShowing the world of light and shadow in painting from the perspective of an artist, Fan Dorn saw the audio title on his assistant’s phone.
The uneasiness in his heart became even worse.
The title of a podcast often directly reflects the specific content.
The host, Mr. Sloth, Curator Tonks, and Detective Cat, whether they are good or not is up for debate, but among these three people, only Detective Cat can be called a painter.
The title is not the world of light and shadow in painting from the perspective of an art critic or curator, but the perspective of a painter
As the assistant presses the play button,
Amidst the soft violin music in the background, Mr. Sloth's voice soon sounded.
"Hello, listeners"
Fandorn snatched the phone from the female assistant and quickly pulled the timeline back a little.
Then he heard a female voice that was most likely the detective cat say.
“The artist uses jagged shapes and sharp brushstrokes to suggest that it is a cold and biting winter day. We can see the upper middle of the painting, using the dry erase technique skillfully. Create a foggy effect. I guess a little olive green should be added to the paint configuration here, and the rougher fan-shaped edge of the round-head brush can be used to restore the sparse texture of branches and grass reflected on the lake. "Feeling"
hatthefuck,
After Fan Dorn heard it for the first time, he subconsciously cursed in his heart.
He did not download the electronic picture album on the podcast. He did not know which painting Detective Cat was talking about, and there was no need.
To evaluate a luthier, you only need a few complex chords.
To understand a person's artistic accomplishment, you only need to listen to a few random paragraphs to get a general understanding. A dog cannot spit out ivory from its mouth.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth casually,
Van Dorn knew that he could dismantle an oil painting to this extent, and Detective Cat behaved very professionally.
Of course,
After all, Van Dorn hasn’t seen the painting yet, so Detective Cat may just be pretending to talk nonsense, but this is self-deception.
Is Mr. Nanguo just being mysterious? The other two guests are not fools either.
Soon, Fan Dorn heard Gu Weijing’s judgment that the white Lake Baikal was painted in front of a photo in the studio.
"Mysterious."
The assistant's mouth barely formed a smile.
To be Van Dorn's assistant, even if she is just a vase, she has been in the upper-class art circle for so long and is still more professional than most ordinary people.
She also realized at this time that Detective Cat did not sound like a parallel import.
It’s not just parallel imports.
For an online illustrator, this is simply too much.
The complex color mixtures and paint overlays on those oil paintings were detected by detectivesThe cat easily analyzed everything in an orderly manner, as if he was watching the artist paint with his own eyes.
But even so,
the assistant still did not believe that someone could analyze the artist's painting environment just by looking at an oil painting.
"Who does she think she is, a witch who can read minds?"
The assistant noticed that the fingertips of Van Dorn's left hand were white, and she was holding the phone screen tightly. Looking at the phone, it was a not-so-long message from a reader under the podcast.
“I am Tom Rimond, the owner of Rimond Gallery in Germany, and the creator of the oil painting White Baikal. Teacher Detective Cat’s lectures are very professional and have benefited me a lot. Thank you Mr. Sloth , Thanks to Mr. Detective Cat. By the way, the original of this painting is a photograph on page 53 of Issue 206 of Polar Geography Magazine. I always think it is very beautiful.”
“This is fake. ”
The assistant covered his mouth. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
