Beckhatton said, "A very famous sculptor. ”

Wang Tian didn't know.

"Okay, you don't have to go around in circles. Mr. Wang Tian, the teacher we invited is called Albeni. ”

Wang Tian is unknown in the sculpture world, he has really never heard of this Albeni, but looking at the two of them with such confidence, Wang Tian guessed that this should be a very influential sculptor in France.

In fact, Albeni was indeed a famous French sculptor. Just as Rodin broke through the shackles of the official academy at that time, Albeni was good at absorbing the fine tradition of Yiqiē and abandoning the habitual thinking of sculpture.

In particular, he has a deep understanding of the beautiful, vivid and contrasting techniques of ancient Greek sculpture, and has his own style.

With the introduction of Albeni by Beckhatton and Drouye, Wang Tian and Su Lele also have a certain understanding of Master Albeni.

At this moment, a middle-aged French man appeared in the field of vision of several people, and he slowly walked over.

This French man is a little unkempt, Xiao Zi is scruffy, Xiao Zi on his cheeks is dense, his eyes are lifeless, he does not look like the temperament of a psychic artist, but it is like a pool of stagnant water.

The figure is slightly blessed, and the complexion is not that snow-white, with a little yellowish.

The clothes are covered with gypsum powder, and there are oil paint splashes on the trouser legs, and the whole person is sloppy, not like a master, but like a garbage collector.

Albeni yawned lazily and approached Wang Tian and Su Lele step by step. Looking at the two Chinese in front of him.

Druyer hurriedly stepped forward and said flatteringly. "Master Albeni, are you here?"

The latter deliberately pretended not to hear. Continue to look at the two Chinese.

Drouille smiled awkwardly, and Albeni was already standing in front of Wang Tian and Su Lele at this time.

He said coldly. "You two are Chinese students?"

Albeni can speak a little Chinese, which Wang Tian did not expect.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Tian had seen all kinds of people and dealt with strangers a lot, Wang Tian would have been a little scared if he had a cold personality like Albeni.

But at this moment, Wang Tian is very calm.

"Yes. Teacher, we are from China and are particularly interested in Western sculpture. I came here to learn from you. ”

Beckhatton also added. "Yes, Master Albeni, you can guide them well."

"Did I ask you?" Albeni had a strange temper, and Beckhatton was taught a lesson, and then took half a step back unhappily.

Beckhatton stepped back. Albeni said.

"It's okay to learn from me, but I won't teach you hand-in-hand, there are many things that you need to comprehend by yourself, explore in practice, and gradually understand the truth, and I will ask you to appreciate a work below."

Albeni had already prepared, in fact, it was so strict, but Albeni would still guide Wang Tian and Su Lele. It's just that he has always had such a strict teaching attitude.

With Albeni's command, not more than a moment. A few guys brought in a sculpture made of bronze carving from below.

The statue is of a naked man, holding a stick in his left hand, walking forward, and as he walked, he was suddenly stunned by something in front of him, and then stopped his steps and looked up, while his right hand was pulling his hair, which was very innocent and natural.

For a moment, at that moment, he expressed a sense of worry, shyness, and awe.

Albeni approached the bronze sculpture of the man and waved his hand at the comer, and the men went down consciously.

Albeni said seriously. "What you have to learn today is the art of carving, and before you learn carving, you must first know where the beauty of a sculpture is. Only with an eye for beauty can you carve a beautiful work of art. This is a sculpture art lover's first must have a su zhì. ”

"First of all, look at this bronze work, which is a finished product that I imitated and carved myself. I don't know how much you know about sculpture. Can you guess what this piece is? ”

"Drouye?"

"I don't know."

Drouille knows Albeni's character very well, and if he doesn't know, he doesn't know.

You can't just talk nonsense. Mistakes are punishable.

"What about the two of you?"

Looking at this work, although Wang Tian made up some knowledge of sculpture art, he couldn't find the answer.

Su Lele naturally didn't know.

"The original is the work of Master Rodin, the vanquished."

Approaching the sculpture, Albeni exclaimed, "When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, Rodin was drafted into the army with blind nationalist patriotism, and returned home sick. The penniless Rodin had carved the name of his teacher Carrière on his statue to make money, but was found out and kicked out of the studio. ”

Soon Rodin went to Holland and Italy, where he was impressed by Michelangelo. He hurried back to Belgium and spent 18 months sculpting a man's body. ”

He asked a young soldier with a beautiful figure to model him. He made this statue of a man walking with a stick in his left hand and his hair in his right hand, and the man looked up and stared blankly, which was very innocent and natural. Rodin's naked man is endowed with ordinary humanity, and it expresses a surprising sense of worry, shyness, and awe. It was life-size, and Rodin named it "The Vanquished". And the work in front of him is the imitation of Rodin's vanquished. ”

After Albeni finished speaking, he looked at Wang Tian and Su Lele again.

Saying the name of the work is not the key, what Albeni wants is to train students to be good at discovering beauty, at least to know where it is, in order to try to create zào beauty.

Albeni Road. "Wang Tian, Su Lele, what do you two think of this conquered one? What are his successes and shortcomings? ”

Wang Tian looked at this work in the past, and said that it was really very good, in that era, this vanquished man showed the spirit of human beings advocating freedom and being positive and optimistic, and in the face of the cruelty of war and class oppression, the stick in his hand was his protest, he was fighting for freedom, and he was shouting in his heart.

However, although he saw success, he wanted to create a successful demeanor and mentality, and express it with the sculpture itself, Wang Tian couldn't do it.

What's more, in the face of the teacher's question, Wang Tian couldn't find the shortcomings of this work.

This should be considered perfect, right?

Albeni's eyes approached Wang Tian, and Wang Tian was honest about his thoughts. "Teacher, I think this work as a whole is perfect, expressing a state of awakening of this warrior, he wants to fight, through the processing of guò's body and expression, his personal spirit is perfectly reflected."

"Oh? Perfect, then you mean there are no flaws? ”

Albeni smiled, how could a piece of work be perfect. In particular, Albeni himself disagreed, and he even felt that this work could be more beautiful and full of charm with a slight modification.

However, Albeni did not say anything more, but told the men to move on to the second sculpture.

Same as the previous one.

This is still a bronze sculpture of a naked man, a little higher than the previous one, at 1.74 meters.

The sculpture is a realistic representation of a well-proportioned and perfect young man, with a very natural and vivid posture, with his left leg supporting the whole body, his right leg slightly bent, and his toes slightly touching the ground.

The left hand is like a cane, and the right arm is raised above the head, causing the muscles of the torso and limbs to rise and fall.

His head tilted back slightly, his eyes closed, as if he were about to wake up from a dream.

Compared to the previous one, the whole posture and facial expression were very harmonious, and he stretched his whole body, freeing himself from the restraints and beginning to emit inner strength. The contour structure of the whole body is not only uniform and perfect, but also embodies precise anatomical knowledge.

Unlike the former, he didn't have that stick, but he could still feel his mental state, and the perseverance of the struggle still jumped up.

Wang Tian seemed to understand something, and Albeni asked the same question at this time. "What do you think of this work?"

It would be easy for Albeni to talk about this sculpture alone, but two works of the same subject, this one obviously looks much more comfortable, and now, after the previous work has been discussed, there is such a sharp contrast, and no fool can see that Master Albeni is comparing.
