Chapter 249: The Heaviness of Poetry
As a person in the art world, you can have no money, you can not have works that are popular with the general public, but you can't be unqualified, and you still want to be famous in the art world?
That's dreaming.
And in the art world, how can you eat without fame?
Even if you act as a brick family and call a beast, you have to break out of the name first, in order to fool the general public, if you are mixed with authority in the art world, then it is awesome, just by virtue of that great name, you can mix anywhere, if you have nothing to do, you can criticize other people's works, people dare not refute anything, you must accept it with an open mind......
As for those commercial works, these authorities in the art world can express their disdain unscrupulously, but they are just popular works that please the public, and they are also worthy of talking about art?
The things of the Lower Riba people get out of our noble art palace, and how can ordinary people understand the spring and snow casually? In that case, what do you want us artists to do?
Therefore, for a certain period of time, "The Moment of Yan Zòng", like "Starry Night", became the object of many self-proclaimed "art connoisseurs", "symbolist painting analysts", and "poetry analysts", as if they did not do so, they would fall behind the trend in the art world.
In fact, on the magazine "This Time", there is already a "editor-in-chief comment" of the writer Ou He, but he still only commented on this poem, for An Yi's painting that matches the poem, he didn't understand it at the time, and he really didn't know much about painting, so he wouldn't expose his shortcomings.
Ou He told the editors last time that this symbolist poem is undoubtedly writing about a person's life, and "crying", "laughing", "walking", and "dying" can summarize a person's life.
"'For no reason' is undoubtedly a key word throughout the poem,
That is, throughout the whole life, through the whole life, all the crying, laughing, laughing, life and death. For no reason is fate, a fate that people can't get rid of. Fate is at the mercy of a person, as free as the wind is fiddling with a leaf, we came to the world without our permission, fate forcibly brought us; We can't grasp which details of time our ultimate death is hidden, and a love and hatred all come unexpectedly on different scales of life, like snowflakes.
We are all crying for no reason, laughing for no reason, being born for no reason, dying for no reason, and then looking back on our lives, how can a sense of desolation and depression not arise spontaneously! Therefore, this rigid formal structure originally conceals and corresponds to the author's unchanging and indescribable feelings about fate.
……
This short poem seems to be simple and simple, but it hides such a heavy theme: all our human beings are controlled by a mysterious giant hand in the vast universe and space, crying and laughing, living and dying for no reason, and this universal fate covers every conscious person like a net of heaven and earth. Therefore, how can this eternal moment not make people feel fear, multiply the desolation and helplessness of life, and thus realize the profound and strict nature of the tragedy of life?
This poem is actually a very philosophical poem, full of the absurdity and alienation of zàiism, a kind of spiritual anxiety and the pursuit of the ultimate meaning. ”
Ou He's commentary has a total of more than 5,000 words, and ordinary readers who could not understand this symbolist philosophical poem will have a feeling of sudden realization as long as they read his comments carefully -- it turns out that this poem was written about the unpredictable life for no reason.
And no matter how a person's life passes, his end is doomed, that is, death, which is the ultimate fate that everyone cannot escape.
When Lu Yizhe flipped through this magazine, he did not read Ou He's comments or poetry, but directly admired An Yi's symbolist painting - "The Moment of Yan Zòng"
The tone of this painting is dark, very heavy and depressing, mysterious and unpredictable, some of the patterns in it, it seems very three-dimensional, exquisite, when Lu Yizhe saw these patterns, he felt that his eyes lit up, faintly grasped something, he thought that this kind of cubist painting method is very interesting, the most important thing is that those patterns themselves also have that rational and lofty feeling, which is undoubtedly very suitable for Lu Yizhe's appetite.
In addition to these patterns, there is another place that is particularly striking, which looks like a man but not a man, a beast and not a beast, but is framed in those exquisite, three-dimensional container-like patterns......
When Lu Yizhe saw this image, he was once again shocked by An Yi's imagination, and he even felt that An Yi's brain must have received information from another world, otherwise how could he draw such an incredible image? It's just like that, it's not a random drawing.
In fact, judging from this painting alone, Lu Yizhe naturally can't understand what it is expressing, it seems to be as unpredictable as fate, but he doesn't need to understand the connotation of the painting, he just tastes this painting from the aspects of painting skills and style, and feels that it is definitely another masterpiece, and because it is too self-contained and subjective, its audience is destined to be small.
Lu Yizhe finally read the poem that matched the painting, he naturally didn't know it, he casually searched for this poem on the Internet, only to find that it is also very popular on Douban, a place where literary and artistic freshness gathers, (#46; uukansh.co) have interpreted the poem one after another.
He looked at it casually, and felt that the netizens' interpretations were actually no worse than those who claimed to be artists, and a netizen with the Douban nickname "Phantom in the Dark Night" wrote a long comment with a word count no less than Ou He, the first paragraph of which summarized his understanding of the poem-
Reading Teacher An An's "The Moment of Yan Zòng" repeatedly, my heart seemed to be hit by something heavy - maybe it was not someone standing somewhere, but Teacher An An herself was standing somewhere to reflect on herself, and at this moment, her fate became the fate of human beings. There is not only a heavy sadness and joy in the poem, but also a feeling of pity for all beings. When the poet thinks of the suffering of human beings and the death of life, he can't help but feel pity and anxiety. Strangers, laughing or shedding, walking or dying, somewhere. Although he is, for no reason, the flowers fall unintentionally; I am, tossing and turning, flowing water with affection. The words "for no reason" and "somewhere" describe the confusion of life, and people seem to be in a thick fog; From laughing to crying to death, the poet looks at this qiē soberly, but there is nothing he can do; Heavy pain, unsurpassable chasm and indifference. The grief is shocking.
……
Many people are worried about Mr. An An's mental state because of this poem, and they feel that Mr. An An seems to have been in a world of great mental pressure, otherwise how could he write such a heavy poem?
