"I don't remember exactly when I went to the Met to see some new exhibitions, and as every weekend, the familiar staff told me that they had just spent a fortune of more than $3 million on a classical painting by a Chinese. My first reaction was that www.biquge.info Metropolitan Museum of Art was to help people launder money again, and the second reaction was that I had to go and see it. ”

Frank, a professor of biology, said with a smile in an interview: " Although I am a natural scientist, I am quite interested in Chinese culture, which is a completely different art system, for example, their Chinese paintings, most of them only use ink, and then use different shades to express various intentions and layers, and sometimes there are large blank spaces, that may be the sky, maybe the river, or the snow, in short, you can fully imagine, how incredible, this is clearly the artist is in dialogue with the audience, the audience is in the process of appreciation, but also with imagination to participate in the creation.

So when I heard that the Metropolitan had spent such a large sum of money on a Chinese oil painting, I thought I would have to go and see how modern Chinese oil painters understood Western oil painting in their art system—in the early years, their oil painters were very heavily influenced by the former Soviet Union, and I didn't really appreciate it.

"Flying Buddha Picture", yes, this is it, the divine Buddha, the graceful flying gods, the golden red background, the level of painting is beyond my imagination - just like those most skilled historical giants. The meaning of the whole painting is also very timeless, the Buddha is compassionate and indifferent, and the flying sky is beautiful and alienated. I admired it for an hour and a half, and then I stood in front of the painting.

Of course, I also began to know its author, Haven Lin from China, who doesn't seem to have many works, and there is another one on the East Coast of the United States, which is said to be his early work, but I haven't had a chance to see it until I heard that he will come to the United States for an art exhibition.

That made me feel a little excited, such as "Silent Guanyin" and "Mother Earth Goddess Gaia", these representative works of the art encyclopedia, will be displayed in the exhibition.

So I bought my tickets early and had time to see them on the first day of the preview, so I drove myself to the Jafitz Center.

Belch...... It's amazing that when I got there, I realized that he was not only holding an art exhibition, but also ceramics, poetry collections, symphonies and dance dramas, and he was such a talented artist, wasn't it? Of course, I was most interested in his paintings, and the same things that surprised me again happened to the paintings.

"Flying Buddha Picture" comes from a 25-year-old artist, which is already unbelievable, but when I stood in front of "The Girl with the Head of the Ball", I saw the introduction below: This painting is Lin Haiwen's first oil painting, and the model in the picture is a classmate in the painting class he applied for. You know, I almost thought there was something wrong with my eyes, and it wasn't a novice's graffiti, but a real oil painting. Even though I am not a professional, I can so assert that many of the professional painters I have seen are inferior to this painting in many ways!

However, it was his first work, and he was a liar - a trick from God into a gift that was not originally human.

......

After I came out of the art exhibition, there was still time, so I chose to go to his ceramic exhibition, where he collaborated with another Chinese artist to fire some Chinese ceramics. They are really beautiful, especially the prismatic porcelain, forehead, Ling porcelain, which is the transliteration of the Chinese dialect, and I can't pronounce it accurately. It's the kind full of irregular purple and red, it's so beautiful! It's like an elusive fiery cloud in the sky, which they have cut down with their own hands and put on the ceramic. I could almost feel the colors swimming and rippling. ”

The New Yorker's interview, published in their weekly magazine, interviewed art school girls, stay-at-home moms with children, and Hollywood actors, in addition to biology professor Frank. In addition to asking them how they felt, The New Yorker also mentioned the controversy over the Swearing Bible, but the results were surprising.

"I don't know about that, but art is very inclusive, and being unruly is part of their artistic literacy, and I think there should be no problem," Frank said. ”

The schoolgirl said, "That's cool, it's cool." Do you think that if it weren't for the "Swearing Bible", would Lin Haven still be different from some genius artists? At most, he would be a little more talented, and there would be no essential difference. But now it's different, and the core of his art that challenges secular notions is expressed very clearly and bluntly, and people always think that society needs to operate according to immutable morals and rules - in fact, that's ridiculous.

Hundreds of years ago, people would not have thought that burning heretics was inhumane, and the same is true for people today, our perception must be limited, so we cannot, should not, and are not qualified to tell an artist whether his work is accurate or not - I have received a lot of inspiration from Lin Haven, which will provide guidance for my own artistic path. ”

The stay-at-home mom said, "I went and tried his performance art space, and it was great! Kids, family, life, the endless troubles and repetitions, I was depressed for a while, and although it was relieved with the help of my family, I knew it didn't solve my problem, but this time I found it to work very well, I don't know if it was a successful mental soothing program, but it did work for me - but I suggested it once, the second time it was too much, those words would be uncomfortable after all." ”

Finally, there is a Hollywood actor, who is not very famous, and he is not a third-line, and his answer is very short: "You know, there is a lot of garbage in Hollywood, and I can't get enough of them to call them the whole "Swearing Bible". I'd love to suggest that Haven Lin needs a second season of the Swearing Bible with more spicy content. ”

The New Yorker itself said: "Haven Lin's outstanding artistic talent and maverick personality have obviously won him a lot of popularity, and artists have always been the most tolerant group in society." The controversy over the "Cursed Bible" has gradually dissipated, and although there are still many who disagree, at least the calls for boycott or protest are no longer visible, and the queue outside Hall 5 of the Jafitz Center is still endless, and even more popular, and the pre-sale of the exhibition in Los Angeles is also impressive.

Raphael, Shelley, Mozart, and perhaps Picasso, also Haven Lin, from China, were once again successful. ”
