Chapter 23: The Useless Use

Ay......

Hearing Peng Bai's words, several sculptors shook their heads slightly, sighing helplessly in their hearts. In fact, they know the results and know the results. Pengbai's delay, this is taking care of everyone's face.

"Then we'll wait for the good news. ”

A few of the sculptors were very knowledgeable, and they picked up their things and prepared to leave.

"Slow down, thanks!"

Naturally, a group of experts got up one after another and said polite words to each other.

However, as he was leaving, Mr. Paul suddenly took a turn and walked to the side of the white leaf. Under the attention of everyone, he took out his mobile phone and asked with a smile, "Can you leave a contact information?"

"Uh......"

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course you can." ”

He quoted a string of numbers.

Mr. Paul saved it, and then smiled kindly: "If I have time, I hope to communicate with you more, I like your creative concept very much......"

"Thank you. Bai Ye nodded.

At this moment, Master Han Lin also came over and handed over a business card directly: "This is my contact number, as well as the address of the office." If you have the opportunity, you can work together. ”

In the sculpture industry, the relationship between sculptors is not only competition, but also communication and cooperation.

So several other sculptors, seeing this scene, also gathered around.

This one gives the number, and that one asks for contact information, so it's not lively. Whether it is sincere or false, it is enough to show that they recognize Bai Ye's strength.

Chen Daqi saw it in his eyes, and his mood was so complicated, as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle - I don't know what it tastes like.

Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, everything.

Caught off guard, Old Deng Tou called him, "Chen Daqi, come here." ”

Chen Daqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly trotted over, "Dean!"

"Tell me about it, that white leaf...... What happened all of a sudden?" asked Old Deng Tou, his eyes calm and calm, and a little wise.

"Dean, this ......" Chen Daqi hesitated.

While he was pondering how to elaborate, Bai Ye also left the government affairs hall with a group of people and joined Cao Xiang.

Cao Xiang greeted him and asked, "How is it?"

"Perfect!"

Bai Ye smiled brightly: "Wait for the good news." ”

That's how confident he is.

Of course, he was not confident in himself, but in Brancusi's work.

In the original time and space, there were two insurmountable mountains in the sculpture world, they were Michelangelo and Rodin.

Michelangelo, who was a great master of the Renaissance, inherited the style of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, re-established the beauty of classicism, and represented the highest peak of Renaissance sculpture art.

Rodin, as for him, was the greatest sculptor of the 19th century after the Renaissance. He broke through the shackles of the official academic school and subverted the definition of beauty in the world of sculpture.

Before Rodin, sculpture was in the public's impression of a realistic and realistic style. In other words, they are all typical classicist styles, and the characters are basically handsome, beautiful, robust, and fierce images.

No matter what the work is, it must be meticulously crafted and very delicate.

But by Rodin's time, his sculptures had a groundbreaking addition of the element of "ugliness". After him, the sculptures ceased to be elaborate and detailed, but began to show a thousand forms.

Rough, twisted, blurry, weird......

Various sculptural works began to appear in the style of "flaws" and "ugly".

All in all, Rodin broke the stereotype, subverted the aesthetic taste of the pursuit of "beauty" in works of art, opened the direction of modernist art creation, and is known as the father of modernist sculpture.

Broncusi, on the other hand, was once invited by Rodin to be Rodin's assistant for a while.

A few months later, however, Brancusi left Rodin's studio.

When others asked why, he left a famous quote.

No grass grows under the big trees.

It was this kind of enlightenment that foreshadowed his future achievements, and was not inferior to Rodin's.

Although Brancusi left Rodin's studio, he was clearly influenced by Rodin, and in his work he tried to break free from the shackles of classicism, and even from Rodin's realist style.

Eventually, he found his way from figuration to abstraction through arduous exploration, and became a pioneer of modernist sculpture.

The Bird of the Sky is one of Brancusi's masterpieces.

This work is legendary.

After the creation of the bird in the air, my friend planned to take it to country M and prepare an exhibition. But when it came time to pass through customs, the customs officials refused to admit that it was a work of art anyway.

Because there were regulations in the customs of country M at that time, artworks were exempt from taxes.

If it is a metal product, it is subject to heavy taxes.

After some coordination to no avail, it finally went to court.

In the end, the judge ruled that although the sculpture could not be seen as a bird, it did look pleasing to the eye and had no practical function, so it should be considered a work of art.

The wise judge broke the essence of the artwork in one sentence.

The title of the work is Birds in the Air, but the existence of birds is completely invisible. It can be seen that there is no use for birds, which is the essence of this work of art.

However, art is a transcendent existence, only to show the meaning of human beings' pursuit of perfection and the way of existence of life itself.

Something for birds?

Is life a bird?

What is the value of art?

No one can tell.

Maybe this is the useless use, so it can be of great use.

It's just such a piece of art, which has no bird's use, and finally became a classic masterpiece in the modern sculpture classics. In the eyes of the world, it is a bird, it is the wind, it is the flight itself.

Brancusi, who has also been repeatedly interpreted by art critics, has become the greatest sculptor since Rodin.

Naturally, this work of flying birds has become one of the most famous modern sculptures in the world.

I don't dare to say that I am one of the best, but I am among the top ten, and I am as stable as Mount Tai.

The world is different, but art is the same, if it is such a classic masterpiece, it will still be brushed down. Then Bai Ye also has to wonder how blind the artists of this world are.

"So confident?"

Cao Xiang raised his eyebrows, and he felt that the white leaves seemed to swell.

Bai Ye didn't speak, just stuffed a few small cards into Cao Xiang's hands.

"What is this......"

Cao Xiang looked down, and his body suddenly stiffened.

One by one, the familiar names came into his eyes and stunned him.

"You ......"

Cao Xiang was surprised: "I stole so many business cards." ”

The corners of Bai Ye's mouth twitched, giving Cao Xiang a look of contempt for him to experience for himself.

"They gave it to you?"

Cao Xiang speculated again: "It's still ...... What did you specifically ask for?"

He was a little excited.

It doesn't matter if it's given or wanted.

The main thing is that these business cards are in hand, and it also means the beginning of networking.

This is also his original intention to support Bai Ye and participate in this event. Regardless of whether the work created can be successfully shortlisted. Dealing with a group of master sculptors and members of the panel is already the biggest win.

"What do you give, do you want it, am I so humble?" Bai Ye smiled lightly: "This is what they begged me to accept, and seeing that they are sincere, I reluctantly took it." ”

It's better than pretending......

Negative scores.

Cao Xiang rolled his eyes, so he didn't believe it.

At that moment, someone ran briskly, panting.

Hey!

Bai Ye was a little surprised, but he still grinned, showing eight teeth, and had a professional smile on his face: "Old classmate, are you looking for me for something?

Do you have any money and have a woolen relationship with me?

Chen Daqi was inexplicable, and after his breath stabilized, he said with a complicated expression: "The dean said, let you have time to go back to the academy and make up for the graduation work." ”

With that, he turned his head and ran, as if he were running away, refusing to linger for a second longer.

Eh?

Bai Ye was stunned and asked in a daze, "Cao Xiang, what does he mean?"
