Being able to intern in Yayoi Kusama’s studio is an excellent opportunity for most painters.
Basically, it has the same effect as those who study finance going to Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase, and those who study accounting to go to PwC, Ernst & Young and other top large companies in the field to get gold plating, and it must be a core position in a core department.
With this kind of resume endorsement,
Whether you want to take the pure art painting route and sign a contract with a gallery in the future, or become an art curator, go to auctions such as Christie's and Sotheby's. You can choose to work as a senior marketing consultant in a company, or even go to a luxury company like V and Hermès to make a fortune.
In particular, Yayoi Kusama is the first female artist.
In the trading market, the prices of the works of female artists are often much lower than those of male artists. However, the average price of Yayoi Kusama’s works is almost the same as that of top male painters. This speaks volumes. .
I can’t compare to Mr. Cao. It’s not about money.
The first is the first. It is difficult for critics to judge who is the most influential male artist during World War II and the post-war era.
If there is a voting selection,
There is a high probability that it will be Picasso, maybe Duchamp, or maybe Andy Warhol.
But Cao Xuan’s name is difficult to get into people’s first impression of the top spot on the list.
It is first-class, but not first.
Yayyoi Kusama is the only supernova, an idol in the eyes of female art students all over the world. She is light, electricity, myth, and the Queen of Pop who is as famous as Andy Warhol.
Takashi Murakami was just a junior in front of her.
Pop Art is the most profitable and commercial genre in the art world. If it is supported by Yayoi Kusama, it will be considered a failure if it cannot reach an annual income of one million US dollars within a few years.
I have to say,
Gu Weijing was really tempted.
Unfortunately, he knew that compared to colorful pop art, Cao Lao's Chinese paintings might be more suitable for him.
It is also more suitable for the seal engraved with "Master Gu".
After Gu Weijing already had certain financial conditions, making money was an accessory to painting, not the purpose of painting.
The conversation with his grandfather Gu Tongxiang made him feel more responsible for the inheritance of pen and ink. The artistic soul of Chinese painting is hidden in his ancestors and his blood.
"I will most likely go to university in Germany. You have to ask me about my recent arrangements. I may want to prepare to participate in a biennale in the summer."
Gu Weijing shook his head and said.
“Singapore Art Biennale, Germany, that’s what Mr. Cao meant”
Sakai Katsuko’s ability to capture art trends and cutting-edge information is not something Mona admires. Only a local girl can compare.
German universities and summer art exhibitions, two pieces of information.
She guessed it almost without thinking.
"Oh, if you can study with Mr. Cao Xuan for a while, it's not worse than going to Kusama-senpai's studio. It seems that Mr. Cao Xuan really likes you. ”
Sakai Katsuko nodded.
In her mind, she thought that Mr. Cao could only let Gu Weijing follow him around and occasionally support the children, just like going to Yayoi Kusama’s It's the same as a studio internship.
Even Ms. Sakai has no intention of accepting a disciple.
Mr. Cao Xuan is too senior, almost a hundred years old. He is a living fossil who can be regarded as their great-grandfather.
Based on his debut age, Mr. Cao can even be classified as a painter of the pre-World War II generation. It has been almost thirty years since he last accepted a disciple. .
“Forget it, if you want to get more in touch with pop art, I will find a way for you. ”
Sakai Katsuko was a little disappointed when she failed to recruit people for her father.
But she didn’t force it.
Artistic style is something that suits the other person. is the best. She was also very happy for Gu Weijing to be appreciated by Mr. Cao.
Her focus shifted to the painting exhibition mentioned by Gu Weijing.
Katsuko Sakai wrinkled her nose, "The Singapore Art Exhibition is indeed a good platform for debut, but due to the epidemic being postponed for several years, the competition this time should be fierce. If you are willing to attend the Yokohama Triennale, which is as famous as the Lion City Art Exhibition, a year later, I can ask my father to think of a way for you to get a special invitation to participate. ”
This is Shengzi’s hint that he can have a back door.
Mr. Sloth also asked Director Tonks’ blonde assistant to discuss whether he could have a special guest I was offered a spot as a painter, but my assistant pretended not to understand and declined.
With Uncle Sakai’s reputation,
If he had expressed his willingness to participate in the exhibition, let alone him. The Lion City Art Exhibition, even if it is the Venice Biennale, the crown jewel of art, the organizer will definitely be happy and send the invitation letter with both hands.
But if it is replaced by recommending juniors to directly participate in the exhibition. The committee will have to consider it.
Actually,
To be honest, it would not have been difficult in the past.
High-end painters have always been mutually exclusive. A small circle of helpers, you recommend my students, and I will support your apprentices. As long as the level is reasonable, I will only give you a spot.
As long as it is not too embarrassing, the audience may not be able to tell.
In order to boost the tourism economy and the city’s image after the epidemic, the amount and scale of this Lion City Art Exhibition were exceptionally high, almost setting a new record for Asian art exhibitions.
p>The most important art focus in the world this summer should be the Singapore Art Biennale.
Celebrities gather together, and there are many strong people.
It’s not just Mr. Cao. , even Mr. Sloth in Europe recommended him to participate in the Lion City Art Exhibition.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing./p>
On the good side, this Lion City Art Exhibition has attracted unprecedented attention.
Any painter who can stand out on this stage will have his reputation infinitely magnified by the spotlight. He was unknown yesterday, but once he participates in an exhibition, he will be able to attract the attention of the world's top gallery brokers and art promoters. focus on.
Participating in an art exhibition saves thirty years of hard work.
The bad news is that
the competition is also unprecedentedly fierce.
Which of the great painters doesn’t have a nephew or younger brother? All kinds of art galleries with great powers are also looking for channels, hoping to get the emerging painters they represent into this ladder of success.
Everyone is related, which means that no one is related.
The organizing committee of the organizer is very strict about the quota of specially invited painters. Basically, unless you have particularly strong connections, it is difficult to obtain a quota through personal connections.
Sakai Katsuko also seriously considered participating in the Lion City Art Exhibition.
Professor Kazunari Sakai suggested that his daughter take it easy. Katsuko Sakai’s current painting skills are a bit embarrassing.
When I participated in the student competition, I almost stood out from the crowd and could not find any opponents.
And if the master group of art exhibitions such as Shanghai, Taipei and Lion City competes with the old painters who are generally over forty years old and whose artistic styles are close to mature, can they be shortlisted? It’s hard to say.
The emotional expression in the works is Miss Katsuko’s weakness, and she might be eliminated in the audition.
It’s better to wait a year later.
Using Uncle Sakai’s connections and connections, I can help my daughter get a specially invited painter through the organizer’s channels for the local art exhibition in Japan next year. It’s not too difficult to qualify for the competition.
"I actually already have some understanding of the Lion City Art Exhibition."
Gu Weijing smiled. He noticed that Sakai Katsuko's eyes were on him many times. I scanned the easel covered with a garbage bag and walked to the easel.
"Katsuko, do you want to see my design?"
"You can see what you want to see, okay"
Sakai Katsuko immediately became playful He nodded quickly with a curious expression.
She noticed the easel covered by a dark plastic bag after entering the house, and she felt itchy as if she had been scratched by a kitten.
Shengzi suppressed her curiosity and did not open the plastic bag, nor even mentioned her request to Gu Weijing to see it.
Her education is very good.
If Gu Weijing wanted to share his creativity with him, he would naturally show it to her.
If the other party is unwilling, then give him enough privacy.
Becoming a boyfriend and girlfriend is one thing, but respecting them is another.
Many painters treat their unpublished works and ideas as secretly as the account passwords of their private money treasury.
Even the lover or wife will lose their temper if they read it.
On the one hand, it is because the spiritual connection between the artwork and the creator is very deep.
Some works are probably painted for myself. If you are suddenly seen by outsiders, you will have an uncomfortable feeling of being naked and exposed to the eyes of outsiders, similar to the private photos on your mobile phone.
The main reason is the fear of leaking secrets.
Unfinished work ideas may be stolen by others due to various carelessness.
In the art world, plagiarism is not news. On the contrary, it would be news if a few painters started to argue about plagiarism on the Internet every year.
The biggest and most "notorious" black spot in Picasso's life was not his ruthless treatment of his lovers.
Based on the social concepts of the time, it was nothing for a great artist to play with women. Many girls even felt proud to have slept with Picasso throughout their lives.
What made Picasso hate the most among his colleagues at the time was that Picasso was a painter who liked to "steal".
When Picasso was creating in France, he often liked to hang out in the studios of various young painters.
He would steal inspiration from those unfinished works, and to see whose work was well designed, he would go back and draw it himself.
To be honest,
Picasso is a very great artistic genius.
The works he plagiarized from the original works were often better designed and had more outstanding painting techniques than those of the original artist.
But this cannot hide that doing so is very "sinful" and also exploits the talents of young painters who have been plagiarized.
At that time, many of his colleagues hated him so much that when they heard that Picasso was coming to the public studio, they hid their paintings as if the Japanese were about to enter the village.
Picasso himself also had an artistic motto: "Good artists borrow, great artists steal."
This sentence was later adopted by Steve Jobs as one of Apple's business philosophy. .
Katsuko Sakai is unwilling to cross the line.
Lovers who respect each other can go further.
"Of course, you welcome any advice." Gu Weijing gently took off the bag on the work, "I just finished the base drawing."
Sakai Katsuko crossed her fingers. She clasped it against her chest and said expectantly, "You can already get a rough idea of the background drawing."
As the shield on the easel was removed, the manuscript on the linen canvas was completely displayed in her eyes. .
Witnessing the excellent technique of copying the old church on a thunderstorm day, Sakai Katsuko thought that Gu Weijing would choose oil paintings as the choice for the exhibition. He showed a good level of Chinese painting on the murals of the Shwedagon Pagoda. , but it was obvious that oil paintings were more popular at the Lion City Art Exhibition.
Unexpectedly,
she could see such a fascinating background map.
Are these lingering and delicate lines the technique of a brush? How is this flat perspective focus expressed? It is obviously the style of oil painting with heavy colors, and it is also revealed from it.It has an oriental charm.
The composition is also very delicate, with a tilted triangle, like a skewed Leaning Tower of Pisa.
You may feel that the composition of the picture will soon lose balance and fall to one side, but it also gives the audience a sense of stability with a wonderful sense of peace.
The girl breathed slowly and stared at the canvas in front of her without blinking, as if she had been sucked into the vortex of a black hole.
"I love you."
This sentence came out softly from Sakai Katsuko's lips. She didn't know if she was talking to Gu Weijing or to the painting in front of her. .
Western style, Eastern charm.
The painting in front of her was not yet completed, but it gave Katsuko an illusion of resonance.
Katsuko Sakai slowly stretched out her hand and stroked the rough fiber surface of the canvas centimeter by centimeter with her fingertips. She could even feel the lines of the painting rhythm with her breathing.
She was looking at the painting in front of her as if she were looking at herself.
This work is really great
The two souls of the East and the West in Sakai Katsuko seem to have been inspired by both bloodlines.
The intertwined lines on the canvas form a wonderful vortex, attracting the girl's eyes to continue to delve deeper and explore.
Different paintings have different appeals to different people. Sad people are more likely to like Van Gogh's works, while children prefer Monet's brushstrokes full of sunshine, freedom and fresh air.
Sakai Katsuko particularly likes the painting style in front of her. She sees a kind of cultural impact and blending in the painting, which blooms the magic that makes her addicted.
She even had the urge to cry.
After a long time,
Sakai Katsuko looked away from the drawing board.
She walked over without saying a word, gently stretched out her arms, wrapped her arms around Gu Weijing's neck, and gave him a deep hug.
"I have only found this feeling in Mr. Wu Guanzhong's painting exhibition before. I can see how this was painted. The lines on it should be the same as the pen portrait you gave me before. It has something to do with it, right?" Shengzi asked softly.
"Cao Lao's guidance, line drawing style and the characteristics of Lang Shining's new body painting. Do you know Lang Shining?" Gu Weijing explained.
"I just heard about it. I will find his paintings to look at when I go back."
Sakai Katsuko shook her head.
Her education was mainly based on Western modern art, and she is familiar with Wu Guanzhong, a master of fusion painting who once set off a craze in Paris.
Qing court painters like Lang Shining are somewhat unfamiliar.
Shengzi buried her face in Gu Weijing's arms and sighed, "It's so beautiful. I love this painting." Please remember to save it, the latest and fastest website to read for free without anti-theft
