Be honest.
Buddhism is profound and life and death is mysterious.
The great monk from Lingyin Temple may not necessarily mean this when he talks about reincarnation.
But Boggs used these twelve popular cat drawings to interpret his Buddhist worldview.
It’s really Zen-like.
After all the first and last twelve drawings were displayed in front of everyone, the assistant finally figured out the taste.
"It turns out to be a picture of a bull."
He spit out a name.
This kind of whole set of paintings is related to each other. Each painting is based on the previous one, adjusting part of the brushwork and composition, and finally forming a "gradient painting" to tell the audience a story in the most intuitive way. Abstract art concept in the form of painting.
Professor Boggs was not the first.
Picasso’s most expensive work should be The Woman of Algiers, which sold for nearly 200 million U.S. dollars. The most famous work is of course the Gurney known as “War and Peace” painted on the wall. Card.
However, if we want to select the masterpiece that best summarizes Lao Bi’s artistic philosophy in his career.
Then the bull picture will definitely be at the top of this list.
The Bull Picture is a set of eleven drawings, all of which are of the same bull.
The first painting is an extremely realistic portrait of a fat and strong bull. The second painting builds on the first, with a more detailed emphasis on the bull's majesty, adding to its expressiveness and primal mystery.
Starting from the third painting, Picasso began to continuously delete the details of the bull's expression, deconstructing the artistic concept of the bull through simplification and outline.
By the last painting, the bull on the drawing has been abstracted into a few sporadic lines like a child's one-stroke drawing.
Professor Boggs’s drawings of Amy have the same idea as Picasso’s painting of a bull.
Sixty years ago, Picasso used eleven bull paintings to express the essence of the art philosophy of abstraction and cubism in a simple and easy way.
In this ranch in Queenstown today, Professor Boggs used twelve black and white ink-style drawings, using fairy tale cat portraits as a carrier to express the yin and yang in the hearts of the old American lay people. View of the cycle of life and death.
It was only after Jane Arnold understood this that she was so amazed.
The works on the easel in front of you are more than just a set of drawings.
It can be said to be a Buddhist verse describing life and death with neat and beautiful rhythm.
"Life comes from death, and death is transformed from life, just like the continuous transformation of wheat ears and wheat."
Ms. Anya softly read a poem, summarizing The sentiments of many people present.
"You have such artistic temperament." The assistant praised.
“Not my words, these were the opening words of Mahatma Gandhi’s speech at Sanskrit University in Benares.”
One of her Indian clients who started a technology company told themHe admires the national hero so much that he once used this sentence as his signature introduction on his Twitter homepage.
Anya had a general impression of that client and had already unblocked him from Twitter.
At this time.
When the female artist saw Professor Boggs’ paintings, she was drawn into the world view of the work, and suddenly remembered this sentence for no reason.
The principles of heaven and earth are everywhere and are not valuable.
Without enough experience and appropriate circumstances, the maxims often sound superficial and superficial at first.
These twelve drawings by Professor Boggs are all excellent works. When viewed together, they have the power to make people feel something.
Anya almost felt as solemn as performing a religious ceremony.
It seems that after seeing these paintings, there will be a little more understanding deep in the soul.
"Mr. Jane Arnold is right. These twelve paintings are the most shocking painting exhibition I have seen this year."
"If you agree Zaohe Space Gallery is willing to provide space and funds to hold a solo exhibition for you, just with these twelve paintings as the core." She couldn't wait to send out the invitation.
Knowing that the current situation is not appropriate.
Ms. Anya's feeling of being an art dealer's heart has made her unwilling to wait for a second.
The female artist smelled the flavor of a classic painting exhibition that would attract the attention of many European literary youth and spiritual enthusiasts, and she even thought of the name.
It’s called the reincarnation of a cat.
It seems very exaggerated to open a special exhibition for twelve paintings.
But this set of drawings is totally worth it.
The scale of the exhibition cannot be linked to the influence of the exhibition.
Many so-called "small" art exhibitions are not small in scale, especially those graduation exhibitions held by the Academy of Fine Arts for graduates, which sometimes display hundreds or even thousands of works.
There is no traffic at all.
The key to an art exhibition is the quality of the works, and the quantity of works is not a high priority.
Cattle and sheep are in herds, and tigers are alone.
There is even a joke in the industry that an art exhibition with fewer exhibits is more important.
Because the organizers and curators are confident that relying only on these few works can attract a sufficient number of tourists to avoid being unable to recover the cost.
The 798 Art Campus is the largest and most famous art innovation park in Eastern Xia.
The most common way to play in recent years is to find connections and "invite" a work by Monet, Degas, or Picasso.
With just one picture, you can open a special exhibition.
I made a lot of money by selling the cultural peripherals of this painting to the tourists who were attracted to admire the master's original work.
These twelve drawings by Boggs gave Ms. Anya sufficient confidence to bear hundreds of thousands of euros in exhibition expenses to hold an entire large-scale exhibition.
"Let's talk about it later."
Professor Boggs waved his sleeves proudly.
His paintings are so good that the opportunity to have his paintings exhibited in the most impressive museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art is rare.
There are still ordinary galleries that want to take over their own works.
This set of drawings is just like the beautiful daughter he raised in the old professor's heart.
He would not promise to others easily
"How about"
Professor Boggs cast his expectant eyes on Tony.
Tony is the real owner.
What better way to illustrate the magic and value of a work of art than to open the heart of a forty-one-year-old autistic patient
Tony is still standing in front of the easel No sound.
Jian Arnold's uncontrollable applause just now, including Ms. Anya's impatient praise and invitation, everyone's voices were kept low, for fear of disturbing the eldest child's thoughts that were finally immersed in it.
Until now.
Tony was still looking at the painting quietly.
The psychiatrist hesitated for a moment, wanting to open his mouth to explain to Tony the philosophical meaning of Professor Boggs's paintings.
Professor Boggs raised his hand to stop him.
The old professor still believes that no matter how complex the design and the earth-shattering depth of thought are hidden in the painting, it should be easily readable by the audience.
From the moment it was born, Hua Dao Hua has been a childish and simple painting method.
Thoughts can be deep, but the threshold for appreciation does not have to be deep.
It is a work that needs to be accompanied by a thick and long critic's analysis in front of the exhibition stand of an art museum in order for the target audience to understand it.
Otherwise, the painter's technique is not appealing enough to support his ideas.
Otherwise, the painter is pretending to be mysterious.
No need to comment, the excellent knife painting itself is enough to inspire.
The assistant didn’t understand it at first, just because he was not the target audience and he didn’t like cats.
Professor Boggs proudly believed that Tony himself would be able to see the true meaning of his work.
"Cat Amy is playing."
Tony murmured something to himself that no one could understand. He stood in the middle of the twelve picture frames and glanced at Between the sixth and seventh frames.
That's the dividing line between reality and fiction.
He stared at the dusty painting with his big gray eyes. The torrent of moonlight fell from the glass window behind the picture frame and shone on his pupils.
Just like the change in the oil painting style of Professor Boggs, a bit of frosty white brightness is added to the childish and chaotic eyes.
There seemed to be something substantial gleaming in Tony's eyes.
The psychiatrist carefully observed his expression.
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
Observing the communication between the eyes of children with autism and the outside world is originally an important evaluation item on the abc autism quantitative analysis observation form.
Since Dr. Jin Anqing took over Tony's treatment, he has never seen him show such a lost expression.
For a moment.
The doctor really believed that this ignorant child could understand the profound meaning of Professor Boggs's drawings.
"Hold this kitten. Although she likes me, she is your Amy now." The old professor reluctantly took a step forward and held the little kitten at hand. The cat handed it to Tony.
Tony hesitantly stretched out his hand.
"Amy"
He called softly and tentatively.
Everyone felt this historic moment and held their breath.
Jane Arnold was so excited that she had to hold onto her assistant's sleeves tightly to stand still.
Dr. Jin Anqing is also very excited. He feels that a paper that can be published in the top psychology journal of Trends in Cognition is already beckoning to him.
"No, hold Amy."
Professor Boggs stuffed the kitten close to Tony's arms.
"Meow"
Tony raised the kitten in front of his eyes and meowed softly.
The soft white kitten opened its eyes curiously and looked at its little master.
Crack.
Tony let go of his hand and the cat fell to the ground.
This height is not a problem for cats that can climb high and low, but the kitten was still shocked.
In a flash, he got into the corner of the room.
"It's not Amy."
Tony said slowly.
"She is Amy." Professor Boggs took a big step forward and said angrily.
Tony stopped talking.
He continued to lower his head and stared at his toes shyly.
The light in Tony’s eyes.
Disappeared.
He refused to accept Professor Boggs' worldview.
The pasture in the afternoon is quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional sounds of livestock, birds, and cowboys shouting.
Jane Arnold has a large grassland along the lake on the west side of Queenstown. When you look up, you can see the emerald-colored river and the rolling low hills in the distance.
Ms. Anya wore brown high riding boots and carefully held the reins. Surrounded by an old cowboy and assistant, she rode a docile little mare from the shoal by the river. Ran on.
The female artist has completely relaxed.
Although it did not have the best effect as expected and had some flaws, Anya still felt that it was a worthwhile trip to see Amy's excellent art work with her own eyes.
Not to mention the unexpected gift of a booth at the Sydney Art Fair in September.The trip to New Zealand was full of rewards.
Detective Cat has not yet been submitted.
Anya has no expectations in her heart.
She now seems to have no interest in even finishing the painting of her pet's love on the wall.
Having experienced the brilliance of the greatest works is like having witnessed the beauty of the world, and the rest are just rough flowers and leaves.
On techniques and conception.
As Professor Boggs claims to be, he has reached the limit of the art of knife painting.
The female artist cannot imagine what kind of work Detective Cat would have to draw to express Amy better than this one.
Even Jian Arnold had a smile on her face.
He has been busy communicating with Dr. Jin Anqing these days about Tony's next treatment plan.
Although emotional replacement therapy failed again.
Although Professor Boggs’ work is extremely clever in conception, little Tony is still stubborn and unwilling to transfer his affection towards Amy to other kittens.
However, the first six paintings still successfully attracted Tony's attention, which was an unprecedented improvement.
No matter how small a louse is, it is still flesh.
Jian Arnold was wondering if she could do something based on the first half of the drawings.
Now when the master illustrator sees Boggs every day, his tone and demeanor are more serious and respectful.
Even the assistant saw Jane Arnold politely handing a white pepper bottle to Boggs while eating barbecue yesterday.
In the past, Jane Arnold's politeness was more of a courtesy to guests from afar, but now it is a respect for a great artist.
Even though Professor Boggs’s social status is far from being comparable to his own.
But that is a niche limitation of knife painting, and it is definitely not that Professor Boggs’s painting skills are not good enough.
Jane Arnold no longer even mentioned that she wanted to give Professor Boggs a gift in return.
A painting like Amy’s cannot be measured in monetary value, nor can it be obtained through a simple exchange of interests.
Art is priceless.
For someone to come over and paint for Tony, even if the main purpose is probably to defeat Detective Cat, it is still a great favor.
Jian Arnold is willing to keep this kind of sentiment in his heart, instead of giving some kind of reward from above like giving rice candy to a child as an artistic giant.
Probably the only person in the ranch who is dissatisfied with the current situation is Professor Boggs himself.
At this time, the old professor was lying on a sunshade chair in the sunshine by the lake.
Beside him was a white kitten lying on the small cream-colored plastic coffee table. At his feet were a pet air travel storage box and related adoption documents.
New Zealand has a dedicated pet return visit officer. If you want to give your pet away, you need some formalities and certificates.
The assistant has beenGet all the documents done.
When the professor flies back to New York, he can take the cat with him.
"Amy"
The kitten meowed softly.
"You are Amy, you are not Amy, no, you are Amy." Professor Boggs stared at the kitten beside him and muttered without listening.
The kitten was used to the weird grandpa’s nervous appearance in the past two days, so he curled himself up into a ball of fluff and continued to take a nap in the sun.
Ordinary people would not understand, thinking that Tony is a young child with an intellectual disability anyway, and if he can’t understand his paintings, then he can’t understand them, so why bother.
Can be as narcissistic as Professor Boggs.
He believed from the bottom of his heart that his paintings should have the magical power to turn rotten wood into bloom.
If it was a question of his ability to draw knives and paintings, Tony couldn't see it from the beginning to the end, so that's it.
But despite being attracted by his own works, he is unwilling to step into the worldview he has created, which makes Professor Boggs very unacceptable.
He muttered something and lowered his head.
Looking at a series of English religious books such as sutra, theory of karma, and the four noble truths in the Amazon shopping cart on my mobile phone, I clicked to place an order.
Professor Boggs interpreted this as saying that his understanding of Zen principles was not deep enough.
He plans to go back and take another international English Buddhist online course at Lingyin Temple. In the next ten years, he will continue to study Buddhism and strive to realize the great truth as soon as possible.
While Professor Boggs was browsing the shopping cart, he devoted his limited life to the endless ocean of Zen knowledge.
A new message reminder popped up on the phone, which was from the assistant.
"Half an hour later, come to the living room on the third floor. The painting of Detective Cat has arrived." Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
