0994 What's the Most Important Thing?
Lin Haven re-arrived in New York on the eve of the exhibition.
"Well, there's progress. Lin Haven flipped through several of Wang Peng's semi-finished manuscripts, all of which were spoken in museums and art galleries in New York and its surroundings, such as the Met, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and other world-class art museums.
Wang Peng is actually the most typical disciple who follows Lin Haiwen, and the others, including Tang Chenglou, are actually not all classical- Lin Haven himself has the accumulation of various painting schools, and he does not require students to follow his path, plus these students have pursued before him, and their skills may be relatively shallow, but how to evolve and develop in the end, Lin Haven does not want to forcibly interfere, a person's talent is very limited, Tang Cheng may not be good at this way, forcing him to learn with him, may not necessarily have high achievements, in comparison, famous teachers are important, but when it comes to a certain height, their spiritual pursuit is more important.
And Wang Peng has actually followed Lin Haven since he was admitted to CAFA, following Lin Haven's line, from realism to neoclassical, from neoclassical to source classicism, and now he still lacks a little skill and accumulation - after all, without Lin Haven's kind of empowerment blessing, ordinary people have to rely on time to slowly grind out their skills in source classicism.
Wang Peng took back his manuscript and felt that there was some progress.
He is still relatively pragmatic, he doesn't feel that he has Lin Haven's life, a young master, there will be one in those few hundred years.
Lu Danze also has a harvest, Lin Haven gave them some pointers, sometimes it is just a little bit, and the harvest is several times the increase, this is the role of a famous teacher.
The execution of the Metropolitan Museum of Art is quite admired by Lin Haven, there is often a saying of "XX speed" in China, but the soft speed of the exhibition is not at the level of the Met. Especially on the premise of ensuring a high standard, it is not easy to collect nearly 60 authentic works of great masters of the past in less than a month, even if more than half of them are their own.
"When we decided on a plan, we actually thought about putting your work in the middle or in the middle. Chief curator Hurst paused, in Chinese culture, or in the world's culture, there is a ranking problem, the finale, or center, has a special meaning, he confirmed the direction of Lin Hai's white sentence, and continued to explain: "But we don't think we want to have unnecessary controversy. ”
"Enough controversy, huh?"
"Haha, after the launch, all the controversy will disappear. Hearst is confident: "After all, there is Leonardo da Vinci in this exhibition, so we will follow the timeline, and the format will be in a circular shape, taking the audience on a journey through the centuries." ”
"Uh-huh. Lin Haven nodded.
He walked through these famous paintings, Tichen, Velázquez, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Poussin, Ingres......
Lin Haven!
Looking at "Outside the Window of the Studio and the Black Dragon Pool", Lin Haven was a little stunned, when he was really put together with the above giants, he didn't expect to have such a huge impact on him.
There was not a moment when it was so noticeable.
History!
Art History!
It stretched out under my pen.
"Whew. ”
Hearst stood on the side very clearly, without any intention of disturbing Lin Haven, although he could not empathize, but he was familiar with the history of art, the status of these great masters, and the expectations of painters, so he could guess what kind of impact Lin Haven was experiencing at this moment—of course, this was a wave of happiness, this was a hymn to a sense of achievement, and this was the moment of immortalization and sanctification.
It wasn't until Lin Haven began to move his pace that he kept up again: "Do you have any other opinions? ”
"This is your area of expertise. ”
"Yes," Hearst took a deep breath, "it's time to wait for you, the whole world will be shocked by you, Lin." ”
"Maybe, but—" Lin Haven shrugged, "That's not the most important thing, isn't it?"
"Uh-huh, oh-oh, of course, the most important thing is that you have made such a major and amazing breakthrough in painting, and the expansion of art for all mankind, I understand, I totally understand. ”
Although there is no such saying as "money is like dung" in Lao Mei, it is at least worth saying that artists don't love money, and this is also true in the United States, especially in China.
Lin Haven paused and looked at him: "I mean, how much money you can sell for is the most important thing, right?"
“……”
"Haha, it's just a joke, don't be like Hurst, you look like an old-fashioned Asian. ”
This is, of course, irony.
"Anyone who has seen you will continue to think that Asians are stereotyped. Hearst thought, maybe it was your sincere words just now, although Lin Haven may not be so in love, but he can break various auction records, such as Gerhard's, such as Pollock's, such as Van Gogh, Gauguin, etc., which is not too attractive for Lin Haven.
……
On Nov. 21, Americans began shopping for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Most of the media also put away their sad faces and began to discuss the festivities with enthusiasm, including the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition of great masters, which became a popular recommendation for various Thanksgiving holiday destinations.
“…… If you're not planning to travel abroad and are spending the Thanksgiving holiday at home, the Met's Masters Art Show, which starts Nov. 21, should be a great place for the whole family.
The exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of the most rare art exhibitions in New York in the past few years, starting with the Venetian School of painting and to today, the source classicism has not yet been fully recognized, and the transformation and extension of the mainstream of traditional painters over the centuries will be displayed in front of the eyes of a series of famous masters.
If you want to learn about how art developed before the 20th century, this exhibition is not to be missed.
In addition to seeing the masterpieces of Renaissance giants such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, famous masters such as Ingres and Rembrandt are also worthy of dedicated appreciation.
……
Of course, perhaps what is more remarkable is that a new name has appeared in the ranks of these giants this time, a Chinese character name: Lin Haiwen.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, together with the great masters of the centuries, is determined to use its prestige to introduce a new contemporary master to the audience for the first time – if the Met has not lost its course, it means that in this exhibition, you can still witness the earliest possible record of Ingres' successor, the creator of Proto-Classicism, who was able to touch the soul of nature, more than 200 years later.
It's a moment that makes people's hearts flutter.
