Chapter 55: The Inevitability of History
"How to carve ......"
Bai Ye looked around at everyone and wrote lightly: "There is no need to carve, the sculpture I want to make is hidden in the marble, and I just removed the excess part." ”
“……”
When the people next to them heard this, they suddenly didn't know what to say.
This is showing off, it seems that it is not meritorious, and the humble words actually contain incomparable pride.
The highest level of loading ratio.
"What if you suddenly want to hit him?"
"It's not for no reason that he's hacked......"
Some people muttered a few words in their hearts, and they had to admit that Bai Ye had the qualifications to be proud.
The statue of the girl in front of you is indeed ingenious. In particular, the veil as thin as a cicada's wings, no matter which angle you look at, is so amazing that it is difficult to extricate yourself.
The charm is even more difficult to describe with pen and ink.
All in all, most of the people present were intoxicated.
Even if there are some people who are completely indifferent to the stone statue, they have to admit that the mysterious atmosphere of the statue is strong, and it is a rare artistic treasure, which is in line with the aesthetic taste of the public.
At the very least, compared to before Bai Ye, what kind of special shape is more moving.
"Classicist statues. ”
Chen Daqi was surprised and completely stunned: "He's still good at this?"
"Why aren't you good at it?"
Director Yang's eyes were also a little suspicious. However, as the division commander, he still calmly criticized: "Chen Daqi, you were misled by that critic, and you also think that Bai Ye is a speculator and his basic skills are not up to standard?"
“…… No. Chen Daqi hurriedly shook his head.
Hesitating for a second and then answering quickly is a sign of weakness.
But Director Yang didn't mean to debunk it, but continued: "It's no wonder that some people speculate like this, after all, Bai Ye only showed an understanding of abstract sculpture modeling before, and ordinary people couldn't directly appreciate the artistry in it. ”
"But as an art student, you shouldn't have that kind of thought. ”
Director Yang reminded: "You must know that thinking about art is never achieved overnight. Many masters of abstraction did not start abstracting, but found their own artistic path through a long period of exploration and summarization, and thus preferred abstraction. ”
"It can be said that many abstract masters are masters of realism themselves and are good at all kinds of realistic shapes. If you don't have the basics, you can't achieve anything in the abstract. In the final analysis, all plastic arts need to be learned from the basics. If you don't have any foundation, don't expect to make progress, and you won't be able to reach that height. ”
"So it's ridiculous to suspect that Bai Ye doesn't have basic skills. ”
Director Yang shook his head and said, "Laymen can question it, you are an insider, you shouldn't believe it." ”
"I didn't believe it. ”
Chen Daqi's voice was a little higher, and then he said in a low voice: "It's just that I didn't expect that he has such profound skills in the classical statue." ”
“…… It's just a show-off. Director Yang said lightly, as if he was not highly evaluated.
This evaluation, of course, is a bit against the will, but it is also appropriate.
The rise of modern art also doomed the decline of classical art. The most important reason for this is that the road of classical art has been exhausted by its predecessors.
Modern and modern artists have found that no matter how hard they try, they can't break through the barriers of their predecessors. No matter who it is, after a lifetime of hard work, only to find that they are just repeating the path of their predecessors, this is definitely a blow.
Those who have artistic pursuits will certainly not allow themselves to live in the shadow of the masters.
In this context, various kinds of art came into being.
Not to mention the evolution of art in the West, in fact, it is also the case in China. From Tang poetry, to Song Ci, then Yuan Qu, and novels of the Ming Dynasty......
In each era, something different is in vogue.
This fully illustrates the striking similarity in the development of art around the world.
In other words, the artists of every era want to surpass their predecessors. If you find that no matter how hard you try, you can't surpass it, then simply switch to another field.
This is how new art is born.
From classicism to modernism, this is the general trend and the inevitability of history.
So in terms of technique, the statue of the girl must belong to the top of the class, no matter how much you admire it, it is not too much to praise. But from the artistic level, it is nothing more than showing off skills.
After all, no matter how beautiful the statue of the girl is, it also belongs to the category of classicism, and it cannot break through the framework.
In contrast, Director Yang appreciates the continuous special form of the space, because the special form is an original and unique existence in art.
However, the opinions of the people present on art are still in the superficial stage. When they look at special shapes, they also need to be explained by professionals. However, there is no obstacle to admiring the statue of the maiden.
In their eyes, this is the most beautiful statue in the world.
In particular, the veil and clothing pattern are the most gorgeous in the world.
In fact, the essence of stone carvings lies in the pattern of clothing. The texture, aura, and vitality of the characters are conveyed through the texture of the characters' clothes.
The smooth pattern of clothing and the flowing soft texture can make the statue come alive.
What's more, the girl under the thin veil is full of artistic appeal, as if it has its own brilliance, which makes people can't help but be attracted by it and are unwilling to divert their attention.
This statue doesn't need anyone to explain at all, it's enough for people to know the charm. It was love at first sight, it was familiar at first sight, and then I was deeply moved, and the aftertaste is endless.
All kinds of exclamations naturally came and went.
The expressions of the people, Bai Ye saw it in his eyes. Exclamations and exclamations also came to my ears.
He took it for granted.
After all, in the original time and space, the veiled statue can be regarded as a relatively unpopular classification in statue art.
Although the veil is also a traditional subject in the art of Crucialism, it belongs to the symbol of faith. Crucialism holds that God's creation cannot be fully revealed to the world, but must be hidden behind a veil.
However, from the Renaissance to the new century, the real veil sculptures that have been handed down are very rare.
The reason is simple, this kind of statue requires a high level of skill. In the history of Western sculpture, only a few sculptors can possess this amazing skill.
The first was Antonio Corradini, a Venice-born court sculptor who served as the court sculptor of the Holy Roman Emperor, who made great use of marble to express the softness of the material.
His carved works, whether they are as thin as silkworm wings or the soft texture of the body, are extremely artistic in the hands of this master.
The second is Giovanni Maria Benzoni, whose statue can also carve the softness and transparency of the veil, and the technique is very good, but the modeling ability is a little worse, and the overall work is not particularly beautiful.
The person who really gathered the realm of the crown on the veil statue was the famous sculptor of the 19th century.
Raffiro Monti!
His famous sculpture is the Virgin of West.
West, that was the patron saint of ancient Rome. The priestess who served the goddess Vester was responsible for guarding the temple's sacred fire and keeping it unextinguished, which was considered the foundation of Rome's safety.
Priestesses have to maintain chastity throughout their lives, so they usually wear a white veil to show respect and worship for the goddess Vesta. This veil of holiness became a symbol of piety.
With the demise of ancient Rome, these priestesses remained unknown for a long time. It was not until the middle of the eighteenth century, after the excavation of the Temple of Vesta, that these maidens, who carried the glory and death of ancient Rome, reappeared in front of the people, and then caused a sensation in the whole world.
The powerful, the commoners, fell for it. Artists also drew on materials, either poems, paintings, or sculptures, to promote the charm of the virgin of West.
Raffilo Monti is one of them.
His statue, when it comes to handling tulle, is perfect.
It can be said that the statue of the maiden in the white leaves is "borrowed" from the sculpture of the Virgin of Vester by Rafiro Monti......
