Chapter 01011: Little Jones' Shock and Choice
This tirade is destined to consume the attention of the entire event early.
The questions and discussions that follow are a bit uninteresting.
For Lin Haiwen's words, it is not that he has the ability and vocabulary to refute them, for more than a hundred years, contemporary art has long forged an unbreakable battle suit for itself, and it is not Lin Haiwen who can break it with a poke. So what has power is not Lin Haven's words, but his paintings.
If people like Gerhard and Gaspé have to think about the transformation of painting brought about by Lin Haven, then what confidence do others have to refute it?
Rome is always broken from within, and there are always noble and sincere people inside Rome who will face their hearts.
……
The content of the speech, unsurprisingly, was made public.
Lin Haven's newly revamped social media has unsurprisingly gathered all eyes again — or rather, their eyes haven't had time to disperse.
They're too famous, they're too valuable, and there's something wrong with that.
I'm famous, I'm valuable, that's reasonable.
Lin Haven's skyrocketing villain value should be able to express a lot of ideas more accurately.
It's crazy!
It's amazing!
Especially in Gerhard and Gaspé, such old-timers, in a sense, after carrying a sedan chair for him, if he turns his face and doesn't recognize people, the irritation is doubled.
But there are very few online name-calling, or personal attacks—most of them seem to stay at the level of bad feelings.
"When Haven Lin's artistic height reached a new record, his artistic temperament obviously grew at the same time. As for the controversy and disagreement of artistic views, he did not change because of the actions of others, nor did he have the intention to change it, he thought what he wanted, he said what he wanted, he expressed it how he saw it, and it may not be pleasing to the artist, but it is basically understandable. If a sleek and judging the situation, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to reach the peak of art at the age of 26. ”
"Whether it's an artist's temperament or not, it's irrefutable that he's very rude and arrogant. ”
"From a purely artistic point of view, I can't accept that in the past 100 years, everyone has been blind, and they have been flocking to contemporary art? Not to mention, shouldn't individualistic art be the mainstream? Focusing on the individual and the heart is part of the rights of human beings!"
Of course, there are also voices of support on the push, especially from outside the United States.
"I couldn't agree more, I raised all my hands and feet, and everything else I could have lifted to show my support for Lin Haven. Those hellish abstract contemporary art is the conspiracy of Lao Mei, who has no cultural accumulation, no history, and drools over the so-called soft power, and has made such a conspiracy drama through Jackson Pollock. If you don't believe it, you can search for it, Pollock works for the CIA. ”
"Haven Lin is far richer than any other artist, and he will not be less famous than any of his peers. Jealousy is non-existent, hype is unnecessary, and the only explanation is that he is telling the truth!"
Lin Haven became a child this time, breaking everyone's embarrassment. Actually, many people are dismissive of the scribbles, but our art critics tell everyone that whoever says those things are bad is a mountain cannon and just doesn't understand art – so many people are deterred. Isn't it ridiculous? A school of painting that prioritizes individualism maintains its mainstream position by intimidating individual freedom of expression!"
This discussion of abstraction and contemporary art has become more extensive because of Lin's further development. But also because Lin Haven has gone further, he has become gentle and rational - it seems that the previous discussions were all about you scolding me, and I scolding you. It is only now that both sides have decided that the argument is qualified to enter the substantive stage.
Now, Lin Haven is able to lead one point of view of art and launch a ferocious assault on another, more mainstream view of art.
……
St. Maarten, the home of Gaspe Jones.
He had lived here for more than 20 years, and his neighbors regarded this old man as an ordinary man, just like the retired butcher of the slaughterhouse, or the old cowboy who retired from the ranch, or the old fisherman who couldn't get on the ocean-going fishing boat.
But this wave of controversy made them, and their young children, realize anew, oh, this is a big man who has written the history of American and world art.
All of them came to old Gaspé angrily.
"Did you see? That Chinese man is so rude, how can Mr. Jones allow him to talk like that? Did Mr. Jones really compliment his paintings? It's incredible, he should take back the old paintings, the Chinese people definitely don't deserve any praise. ”
"......" Jones Jr. was a little speechless: "Thank you for your concern." ”
"What about Mr. Jones?"
"He's painting. ”
I'm sorry I can't come to listen to your swearing.
Seeing off another kind neighbor, little Jones let out a breath and quietly walked to Gaspey's studio, a huge studio full of Gaspey's previous works, each of which was worth a thousand dollars, but at this time little Jones's eyes did not find them.
He was looking at Gaspey's easel, who hadn't painted on his easel for a while.
At this time, he was drawing, an apple lying flat on the high stool, and a bright light on the apple almost obscured most of the apple.
Returning from New York, Gaspé has been painting it ever since.
On the canvas, Jones Jr. was a painter himself, and he could certainly see that this was completely different from Gaspe's previous painting methods—he was trying to paint in the original classical technique.
Astound!
Little Jones couldn't describe the shock he felt when he saw it for the first time.
Even if Gaspey does not completely deny his past artistic insistence, he must already be doubting - Gaspee Jones has begun to doubt his past path because of Lin Haven's works!
Unthinkable.
But Jones Jr. could not, could not do, and was unwilling to do anything to stop Gaspey, both as a son and as a painter.
"I'm going to go to New York and see the painting with my own eyes, and I'll let Andy take care of you. ”
"Go ahead, you won't regret it. ”
Jones Jr. feared that he would not regret it, he was also in his fifties, and it was hard to imagine what he would do in the future once his artistic pursuits wavered - and thus he admired his 86-year-old father, who had already achieved fame.
“…… Do you mind if I tell the public that you are experimenting with the technique of progenism?" asked Jones Jr. suddenly.
