Chapter 100: The Meaning of Art (3)
Jamie spoke calmly and eloquently: "The core of art is not the content it expresses, but the form it expresses, which must not only have meaning, but also convey meaning in a special form, which is art." Form and meaning cannot be separated. β
"Are these prescripted?" Roy sarcastically said.
"It's conventional. Think about it, if you only pay attention to the meaning and don't care about the form of expression, you don't need to go to the art museum, you don't need to look at the painting, you just go to see the art appreciation, what meaning does the painting express, what truth does it convey, isn't it?
"However, when you look at art at home, it's definitely not the same as looking at art in an art museum. β
Roy wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he couldn't get out of the logic of the other party, and the most important thing was that he didn't understand art in the first place, and it would be surprising if he could argue with the other party in art. However, judging from the conversation, Jamie's artistic accomplishment is so high, it is impossible to be born in an ordinary family, if she has a solid life and likes to climb other people's sheets, wouldn't that be true?
Roy was inspired, and a spicy sarcasm welled up in his throat: "Jamie, did you learn all these artistic aesthetics in bed?"
"In bed?" Jamie wondered.
Roy seemed to have found the other party's Achilles' heel and sneered: "That's right, just like last night." β
Jamie shuddered all at once, thinking of her contemptuous behavior last night, she was ashamed to get into the crack in the ground, she blushed, suppressed the sense of humiliation, and calmly explained: "No! Last night was an exception and an accident. β
"Hey, who knows?"
"You...... That's true, my parents were in politics in China, my family was well-off, my brothers and sisters were arranged to study abroad, and my ability to appreciate art gradually improved under the influence of my family. β
"Well, why don't you teach me tonight?"
"Roy, I respect you, and I hope you can respect yourself. Jamie's chest heaved and heaved, enduring grievances, and showing strength.
When a bitch still wants to set up a torii. Roy complained weakly in his heart, dodged the other party's sharp direct gaze, and said: "You said, you took me to see the painting, it's better to show off your talent, so many dazzling works of art, I can't understand anything, what can I do?!"
"I'm sorry. Jamie sincerely apologized: "...... I don't know...... Why did it ...... like this?"
"What's that?" Roy said confusedly.
"I didn't expect it...... You...... There is no aesthetic basis at all. Jamie hurriedly explained, "I'm not belittling you, I'm just expressing a concept, like a level in the game." β
"Aesthetics are still graded?" Roy was surprised.
Jamie explained, "Think about it, if a colorblind person is looking at these paintings, can he appreciate the beauty of the brilliant colors? If a tone-blind person is listening to a famous song, can he feel the colorful fluctuation of the strings?"
"Can't!
"You have to have some feeling, that is, aesthetic experience, to understand the beauty of art. That is, if you have no aesthetic experience, have never experienced or appreciated the feeling of beauty, then you have no aesthetic judgment.
"Of course, everyone has their own interpretation of art, which is what we often say that there is no right or wrong in aesthetics.
However, the fact that there is no right or wrong does not mean that all people have the same high aesthetic ability as professionals. Now if you put a painting of the Mona Lisa in front of you, can you taste the breathtaking beauty it brings to you? Just like the huge book "One Hundred Years of Solitude", I can guarantee that 99% of people will not see the beauty of this book at all, you know every word in it, but when you connect it, you can't understand it. Because you need to have a certain amount of aesthetic experience and read many literary works to unravel the magnificent veil behind this. β
This ring is a set, Roy is unconscious, and it can also be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow to aesthetic idiots, "It seems to be a little interesting...... So how do you improve your aesthetics?"
"Look more, think more, it's best to understand the history behind the artwork, the story related to the artwork, and when there are more and more of these trivial cultural symbols in your heart, your aesthetics will become higher and higher. β
Fack, I don't have the time to sleep with you. It seems that I have lost my life with art.
Jamie looked at the exhibition and said with a smile: "Now you know why there are all works of art here, because they are selected by professionals, and they have a lot ......of aesthetic experience and can see the reasons for beauty" (Appendix 1)
"Why?" Roy suddenly cracked in his head, thinking of another thing - he was not hired by PayPal, is there a reason he didn't know?
"Roy...... You...... Are you alright?" Jamie was scared when he saw Roy's expression constantly changing, some signs of madness.
"Call Ulysses, hurry, call him over!
Jamie was on the phone in a hurry.
Roy paced back and forth, and the boulder that had been suppressed in his heart finally loosened and was able to take a brief breath of fresh air.
"I have to ...... Be sure to find out...... The reason why they don't hire themselves!"
If this thorn in his heart is not pulled out, he will not be at ease for a day.
It didn't take a while.
Ulysses and Debra rushed over.
Ulysses looked at Roy, who was in a mess, and laughed, "Boss, did you meet a rogue on a date with Jamie?
Debra also came over and comforted, "Are those bastards still around? I'm going to beat them up!"
Roy sat on the steps by the fountain and sighed, "It's all tears. You may not believe it, but I went to PayPal today and did not pass the interview. β
"Interview! I haven't passed yet!" the three of them were shocked, it was incredible.
Ulysses smiled: "BOSS, you're not going to interview for the position of CEO of others, are you? β
Debra and Jamie nodded in agreement: "We are often rejected during interviews." β
Roy smiled awkwardly, I don't know if they would die laughing if they knew that they were in a low-level position in a self-deprecating interview.
"It's not what you think, this interview is very strange, and I was brushed off for some reason. In my experience, in a completely incomprehensible way...... You know what?"
Ulysses and the others shook their heads.
Roy explained, "It's the kind for no reason, you know?"
The three of Ulysses turned to each other and said, "That's normal, isn't it?" "yes, I've had it too." "Yes, a lot of bosses hire people who are racist. "What's that, some companies don't hire beautiful women. ββ¦β¦
Roy has a black line, Lao Tzu is serious, okay, why don't you have empathy!
"Ulysses, it's your turn. Arrange for an undercover agent at PayPal to provide a list of PayPal hires. β
"Ha, leave it to me!" Ulysses decided.
γPSγAppendix 1: Professional Estheticians?
I believe you're a ghost. If you are a professional, then there will not be so many artists in history who have died and their works have become popular. Why didn't you see your self-proclaimed professional aesthetics in the first place?
If art judged by you professionals is art, then there will be no "bottom-up" pop color, and what you just say is what it is.
("Bottom-Up" is about the rules of this world, which emerge from the bottom up by scattered forces.) I really recommend this book. οΌ
