Chapter 299: Ability Evolution

"I can even hear the minerals?"

Wu Tianyuan was ecstatic, it turned out that Jiuding had suppressed the dragon vein for more than 2,000 years, and it had been integrated with it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info His own ability inadvertently absorbed the dragon vein and earth qi, and he was successfully upgraded all of a sudden, and now he can hear the sound of the mine!

"That's right, the abundance of the earth can produce mineral deposits, and they are the same as antiques, they are masterpieces of nature!"

Wu Tianyuan calmed down, what does mineral deposits mean? Endless wealth and resources!

"I originally thought that the collection of Jiuding was the end, but I didn't expect God to let me just start!"

Wu Tianyuan flashed a lot of plans in his mind, lamenting the wonder of fate, first the auction house, then the museum, step by step let him accumulate resources through antiques, make contacts, and finally find Jiuding and open up new abilities.

"But Jiuding can't be taken away, it still has to guard the dragon vein, I don't dare to be a sinner for the ages!"

Wu Tianyuan resealed the entrance of the cave, hid all his footprints, and went down the mountain to leave. said that he had found a new clue and left with everyone.

"So how many of you are in this situation?"

Back at the museum, he suddenly noticed that he could hear the sound of bronzes? Jiuding suits chattered for a long time, each telling a legendary experience. It seems that it is not only the mineral deposits that have evolved, but also the antique ability has been upgraded.

"Huh? Can't absorb energy anymore? ”

Wu Tianyuan first touched the bronze vessel, but there was no response. Then I picked up the gold and the diamond, and there was no reaction, could it be that I couldn't evolve anymore?

"Forget it, I guess I can hear that the mineral deposits have come to an end, make good use of them!"

I can hear that the mineral deposit is already a nirvana, many of Wu Tianyuan's dreams can be realized, and treasure hunting is just a helpless move, after all, the treasure is limited, and it is impossible to have it every day. Only self-reliance and creating a brand that belongs to oneself and the nation is the king.

"Boss, this is information from a polar bear, and it is not what you expected."

As soon as Wu Tianyuan arrived at the office the next day, he received the information sent by Wang Hong and looked at it carefully.

"I don't know much about the so-called modern art, but according to inertia, there are several masters who are in full swing now! Chen Dongsheng has gotten out, and the next step is to get Ullens out of China. ”

The top priority is to stabilize the country, and to secure the outside world must first be at home! Chen Dongsheng's henchman has been eliminated, and Wu Tianyuan did not force him to death, which is also for the sake of the overall situation. Ullens is the next thorn in the side, and he must be pulled out early.

"Call Zhou Wenyan!"

Wu Tianyuan pondered for a while, and asked Zhou Wenyan to come back and test her understanding of modern art.

"The concept of contemporary art itself comes from the West. The logical flaw of this concept is that from ancient times to the present, all works of art are "contemporary art" to their contemporaries, except in the post-World War II West, where it is packaged as a "new thing" and introduced to the market. If China and other developing countries copy this concept, it will be easier to deviate. ”

"In just a few decades, Chinese contemporary art has taken Westerners more than 100 years to complete. Due to the openness of information, even the latest trends in Western art, such as new media art, light art, etc., have quickly found their reproductions in China. As a result of this development, when you walk through Beijing's 798, Songzhuang, Caochangdi, Huantie and Shanghai's M50 art district, you will feel no different from walking down the gallery streets of New York and Berlin, except for the occasional Chinese characters and faces in the works that remind you that you are in China. ”

Zhou Wenyan scoffed: "Not long ago, several people in the art circle publicly commented that "imitation of the West is the only way for Chinese contemporary art." Regardless of whether this view is correct or not, holding this view itself reflects the subconscious equation of "contemporary art" and "Western contemporary art" by many people. If our ancients thought the same way, would they have been able to create a tradition like Chinese painting, which is unique in the history of world art? ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, it seems that Zhou Wenyan has made a lot of progress, and the front-line work has made her mature quickly, with her own aesthetic standards and judgment of the trend, not bad!

"The imitation process of modern artists is only from learning, borrowing to hunting, from imitation to blatant and shameless plagiarism!"

For example, Cai Guo-Qiang's installation "Hitting the Wall" exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in Berlin in 2006 is clearly a parody of Beuys's 1969 work "Wolves". The original German name of Beuys's work is "dasrudel", which means sled, and the original English name is "thepack", in both words, although the word "wolf" does not appear, but the meaning of "wolf pack" is already included. ”

"There are no wolves in Beuys's work, only three rows of sleds, but the beauty of an Englishman or a German who sees the title of the work will naturally associate the sleigh with a pack of wolves. Cai Guo-Qiang's work clearly makes the meaning of the "wolf" metaphorical in Beuys's work straightforward, and the arrangement of wolves is the same as that of the sled, and there is a barrier at the end of the work like Beuys, so the similarity between the two cannot be "pure coincidence" in any case. ”

"Ancient Chinese landscape paintings are the best example, in the paintings of Fan Kuan and Li Tang, you see landscapes, but what you appreciate is the great feelings of ancient Chinese about the unity of heaven and man. In this respect, Chinese and Western art are common, including the fact that Beuys has become the most admired artist on the European continent since World War II, and it is inseparable from the almost mythical figurative power of his works. ”

"In the case of wolves, the sleigh in the installation is a recurring theme throughout Beuys's career, and it is very vividly representative of the human jaw. The lower jaw is the only movable part of the human skull structure, and its flexibility is closely related to the ability of human speech. He used the sleigh as a metaphor for the jaw of a human being, which means that "human beings gallop through the spiritual world through language, as if they were riding a sleigh through the snow", which is very philosophical and poetic. ”

Beuys also placed a flashlight, a small piece of honey and a small piece of felt on each sleigh, which Beuys himself explained represented "direction, food, heating, that is, the most basic things necessary for human survival." In the work "Wolves", three rows of sleds slide out of a car with the back door open, according to art critic Lehard. Emmen's interpretation represents that human beings have broken free from the industrial civilization that is on the verge of extinction and are looking for a new direction in life. ”

Zhou Wenyan retorted more and more excitedly: "Those who are familiar with Beuys know that his works have always been humble, some of the utensils that seem to be picked up by the roadside, carefully placed in the window or on the floor, quiet and silent, but can make you feel the magic of a primitive social religious ritual." The imitator's work, although it costs millions at every turn, and uses an overwhelming scale, is superficial and weak in the eyes of the discerning. ”

"The depth of Beuys's art is inseparable from the fact that he is deeply rooted in the German-speaking intellectual tradition. During his lifetime, Beuys carefully studied Goethe and the founder of anthroposophy, Rudolf. Steiner's writings, both of which were great thinkers who advocated the union of science and art, is why science played such an important role in Beuys's art. (To be continued.) )
