Continuous special form of space......

It's a mouthful name!

This is everyone's first reaction.

But they know better that the title of the work is not the point.

The key is the connotation of the work, as well as the genius idea of Bai Ye's conception and creation. A pile of clay, not worth a few dollars. But when it becomes a unique sculpture in the hands of the creator, it is endowed with artistry and value.

"Space, movement, form. ”

Director Yang pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How did you come up with the idea of bringing the three together?"

"Mainly just now, I saw someone running in the stadium. His speed was very fast, and the amplitude of the swing of his arms and feet was only a trail of afterimages. ”

Bai Ye smiled, "This reminds me of my neighbor Boccioni. He is a photographer who has taken continuous photographs of physical activity. In each image, the human body is still, but the movements are very coherent. ”

"I was inspired by the photographs I used to look at, but now combined with the real scenes, I have a flash of inspiration to express the continuous movement of the form on a static sculpture. ”

Bai Ye said slowly: "To be honest, the sculpture is stationary, and it is very difficult to shape it into a sporty character. In the beginning, I wanted to express this concept in the form of multiple hands and feet. ”

"But when I think about it, I don't think it's going to work, it's too much. The complex structure is not enough to express the characteristics of continuous movement, let alone artistic. ”

Hearing this, both teachers and students nodded their heads.

The sculpture with many hands and feet, and it is not a thousand-armed Guanyin, it must be very vulgar when it is really shaped.

"So I kept thinking about ......"

Bai Ye elaborated on his mental journey: "How do you make sculpture show a sense of elegance? As you must know, I have studied abstraction, and abstraction is basically subtraction, dismantling and cutting away concrete things, which is my favorite thing to do." ”

"Because in the process of rapid movement, the arm swings fast enough that the eye cannot catch it, only an afterimage can be seen, and even the arm disappears. ”

"If a person runs fast, and if you look at it from a distance, you may only see the torso of the body, and the hands and head will be ignored. So I didn't hesitate to remove the head and hands of the sculpture. ”

When everyone next to them heard this, their eyes flickered.

It's okay not to mention abstraction, but when you mention it, everyone thinks of Baiye's "mutiny". A traitor to the sculpture department created a sculpture that they should admire.

Their mood is so complicated.

But then again, isn't abstract art really that magical?

Some students are a little skeptical, even though they have not studied abstract painting, but art is connected, and in their courses, there is also knowledge of abstract sculpture, which they have also systematically learned.

Why did you learn the same thing, and Bai Ye is so good?

Thoughts fluttered, and everyone also gathered their minds and continued to listen to Bai Ye's story.

"After being dismembered and cut, the work has been deformed. ”

Bai Ye talked eloquently: "It's just that this deformed work can't satisfy me." Because of the headless and handsless body, although it also has a bit of a sense of running, it is still not fast enough. ”

"That feeling of high-speed movement still didn't come to the fore perfectly. ”

Bai Ye muttered: "At this time, I thought of the photo of my neighbor Boccioni, in the photo he took, the dragging of the human body and the deformation of the limbs. ”

"At that moment, I knew what I was going to do with my work. ”

Bai Ye said with a smile: "In my conception, if the human body is free from the limitations of space, then the changes in the limbs must be very amazing. The smoothness and fluidity of the clothes are also more intense. ”

As he spoke, he added: "In fact, if this work can be cast in bronze or other metals, the kind of curved surface and floating movement texture should be more expressive." ”

The malleability of metal is definitely more textured than clay.

When he finished speaking, there was silence. Caught off guard, Deng Shaoying clapped his hands lightly, and applause rang out.

Immediately after, thunderous applause echoed in the studio, resounding in the sky. After Bai Ye was stunned, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly. The smile on his face was also a little more relaxed.

Wait until the applause dies down.

Director Yang next to him suddenly said: "Your work is not only as simple as an abstract sculpture, but I feel that there are other elements in the ......."

"Huh?"

Bai Ye lost his mind slightly, a little surprised.

In Deng Shaoying's introduction and the words of the students next to him, he naturally knew Director Yang's identity. He is not only the director of the sculpture department, but also the master sculptor who was commissioned to create the sculpture of the sports square.

The other party's work was rejected, and now the successor is Shiraba.

Is this a narrow road?

Although it was the other party who was rejected first, there was a bidding move. This matter can't be relied on on Bai Ye's head, but who knows what the other party thinks.

Anyway, Bai Ye came into contact with it, and he was definitely polite, and he didn't want to be honest.

However, I didn't expect that this master sculptor was very discerning.

I can see that this is not an abstract sculpture.

Strictly speaking, this is a classic of futuristic sculpture.

Its author, Boccioni, was an outstanding representative of Futurism in the original time and space, not only as a painter and sculptor, but also as a theorist of the Futurist movement.

He wrote the Manifesto of Futurist Painting, as well as the Manifesto of Futurist Sculpture, advocating a struggle against traditional art.

This is a euphemism, but in fact it is: curse all the old traditional culture, sweep away all the cultural heritage since ancient Rome, and advocate the destruction of all museums, libraries and colleges.

For this genre, people who are not professionals in the original plane are probably very rarely heard of.

Because it has been around for a relatively short period of time.

Beginning in 1909, after the end of World War II, it disappeared without a trace.

The reason is simple, Futurist members, who support war and glorify modern warfare, believing that war is the ultimate form of art.

So many futurist artists died in the two world wars.

Coupled with the rise of anti-war ideology, people naturally do not treat futurists who support the war very much.

The genre also became extinct.

However, their ideas have been inherited by other artists. Even some elements advocated by Futurism are still an important part of Western culture in the original time and space.

It can be said that there was futurism first, and then there was composition art and abstract art......

The continuous special form of space is a masterpiece created by Boccioni in order to implement his own philosophy. At that time, such a work was naturally very bold and subversive.

However, a hundred years later, even if I appreciate it from the current perspective, I still feel that the work is very avant-garde and out of step with the times.

It can be seen that a classic is a classic, no matter how time passes, no matter how a hundred years have passed, or hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, it has surpassed countless times, and it cannot change its unique charm.

Such a classic will become eternal with time!

It deserves any accolades.

While Director Yang was still pondering, Deng Shaoying next to him interrupted: "Old Yang, it's okay." Things are placed here, and you have time to study and interpret them slowly, and you don't have to rush for a while. ”

"There is only one thing that needs to be done now. ”

Deng Shaoying's expression was serious, and he looked around and said: "I heard that some people are questioning Bai Ye and are not qualified to be the creator of the sculpture in the Sports Square, and some people even suspect that there is a shady curtain in this." ”

"I can clarify in public that this is slander and smear. ”

Deng Shaoying said sharply: "I advise some people not to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The expert group's assessment is very fair and impartial, and there is absolutely no favoritism. ”

"I can guarantee that Bai Ye completely relied on his super strength to conquer the members of the expert group, and the work he designed was unanimously recognized by everyone, and he was honored with the great responsibility. ”

"There's not the slightest hint of the inside story in it. I hope you will keep your eyes open to distinguish between right and wrong, don't listen to rumors in a daze, and don't let others lead you to the rhythm......"

Deng Shaoying made a loud noise, roaring very loudly and deafeningly.
