Chapter 329: Passionate, Rough. [Ask for tickets, there may be more updates next month]
Continuing on, Zhang Feng came to "Two Women on the Beach", which is a work of Gauguin, known as the "primitive madman" Gauguin (1848-1903), whose artistic tendency shows a deviation from the civilization of the times, he escapes the life of modern civilization like avoiding the reef, and uses stylized art to bring a huge influence to modern art, especially Fauvism. In order to escape the intrusion of the civilized world and find a new, more primitive, more authentic and more sincere way of life, Gauguin wandered the world, leaving behind his family, children and work, refusing to accept the honors and gains that could be easily obtained, and lived for a long time in Tahiti, a small island in the Pacific Ocean far from the people, where he lived until ———his death.
On the island of Tahiti, Gauguin discovered the unspoiled natural colors and primitive art, and as a result, Gauguin painted this plain form and strong color into his paintings with absolute seriousness. This work was created shortly after he arrived in Tahiti. Gauguin's unique approach to painting was inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e.
Specifically, it is to use flat colors, strong contour lines, and subjective, rich and poignant colors to express the generalized and simplified shapes, showing a strong personality. He always likes to use dark green and orange contrasts, plus brown green, pale yellow and black. This preference for color comes from the feeling of local life on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because of his deliberate pursuit of warm and rough beauty.
However, Zhang Feng doesn't like this style, he always feels that the shortcomings touch his soul, of course, it's just him, some things, especially profound works of art, need Bole.
Gauguin was a persistent madman, a madman who liked to paint self-portraits and sunflowers. He was impoverished during his lifetime, and after his death, every painting could be sold for sky-high prices. And his works were not appreciated back then, but now he has almost become a well-known master. The world is so snobbish and so boring.
Maybe he didn't like it, Zhang Feng took a brief look at it, and came to another famous person's painting Qian, "The Church of Arles", which was created by Van Gogh in June 1890 in the village of Arles, and is a late work of Van Gogh.
Van Gogh spent a period of calm and fantasy here after leaving the Saint-Rémy psychiatric hospital, but then fell into extreme pain and madness. From his heavy, twisted strokes and the thick colors used, you can see that he has a very strong, almost crazy sense of drama within him.
In Van Gogh's eyes, the sky was not quiet or clear, but seemed to be moved by some strange celestial force, and the long branches of the cypress trees seemed to be twisted flames, and the sun seemed to explode at any moment. The paintings show Van Gogh's pessimistic view of life. In Van Gogh's writing, all people and things are full of violence and despair, and Van Gogh distorted and deformed everything – the above is from Baidu. But I don't think these are distorted, and that's what churches look like in the eyes of painters. In fact, this painting is not so desperate, and the colors are still very bright and lively.
Symbolism is a literary and artistic trend that began in literature at the end of the 19th century and later influenced the fields of art and music. Symbolism in literature has manifestos and theories, while symbolism in fine arts is nothing more than an artistic tendency. Symbolist artists opposed the objective imitation of nature by realism and impressionism, emphasizing the expression of subjective spirit. They believe that the inner world of human beings is unclear and difficult to grasp, and can only be used to metaphorically use allegorical and symbolic but concrete and perceptible images to metaphorize themes and emotions, hint at the subtle and mysterious inner world, and find the correspondence between external things and the inner world through images, with the color of mysticism.
Symbolism reflected a tendency of thought at the time to look to the mystical spiritual world for inspiration and enlightenment. Its philosophical roots come from the doctrines of Nietzsche, Bergson, and others. Bergson believed that the essence of art lies in revealing the "reality" of its essence through the external curtain. To penetrate what is superficial, one can only rely on detachment from nature, which in turn depends on the senses and the structure of consciousness. Therefore, the symbolists often depict the subjective spirit as the core of their creations. However, they have not yet found a suitable way to express their artistic concepts, so they continue to use figurative and realistic methods.
The Louvre's most regrettable thing is that the seat of the goddess of victory is closed due to renovations, so leave a reason to come back next time.
In the evening, Zhang Feng rushed to the Eiffel Tower, one of the landmarks of "Come Here", to watch the sunset and turn on the lights.
Zhang Feng came to the front of the platform of the Cheillot Palace to see the Eiffel Tower.
Built in 1889, this ultra-modern building was considered an iron monster of a black hill at the time, but it has now become a worldwide landmark.
Zhang Feng sat under the tower for a few hours, just to see the lights on, and then the lights would flash on the hour, looking at this famous landmark that he had always seen on the calendar when he was a child, Zhang Feng felt very dreamy.
Paris is a city with a strong artistic atmosphere that needs to be savored, and Zhang Feng refuses to look at the flowers, even if he sits here for a few hours, he feels that there are many more things in his heart.
Zhang Feng's lunch went straight to the Mariage freres recommended by a friend, founded in 1854, is the representative of the famous French tea culture in Paris, bringing together famous teas from all over the world, hidden in the deep alleys, but once you arrive at the alley, you can see that because of the good reputation, the diners are full, his tea shop is very distinctive, the whole shop is antique, retains the atmosphere of the 19th century, and you can also taste all kinds of famous teas.
Restaurant: Mariage freres
Address: 30 Rue du Bourg Tibourg, 75004
Per capita: 32 euros
The restaurant is not big, divided into two floors, when Zhang Feng arrived, the first floor was already full, and the waiter led Zhang Feng directly to the second floor, a very small space, but it felt very warm.
What surprised Zhang Feng even more was that their tableware had its own characteristics, and the dishes were made of tea, so the taste was lighter, but vegetarian, and the presentation was really beautiful.
took a photo from top to bottom, Zhang Feng didn't feel enjoyable, went downstairs and asked if he could take pictures on the first floor, but was reluctantly refused, probably for fear of disturbing other guests.
Zhang Feng's main dish, chicken, the meat quality is relatively woody, but Zhang Feng thought that it is difficult to eat chicken in France, which is due to the culture of the whole Europe, their staple food is beef and pork, although the chicken is not delicious, but the vegetables next to Zhang Feng's laughter are delicious, which can be regarded as compensation.
After eating salmon smoked with green tea, Zhang Feng felt that he couldn't taste tea.
