655. This is art
This is the key to the fact that many ordinary people can't distinguish between crafts and art.
Many masters of arts and crafts can make exquisite things, but their works can only be regarded as handicrafts.
Because I couldn't inject soul into the work that I had worked so hard to condense.
Wan Changsheng's light yarn texture, which is almost a show-off, is not uncommon in terms of skills.
In the mid-19th century, an Italian sculptor Strazza used it to show the contemplation of a young girl under a veil.
To express that looming tranquility is art.
In fact, it is also the interest and artistic conception in traditional Chinese art.
Many folk artists, including the current Douyin small videos, can see old men and old ladies who have not received any art education, and they can draw a beautiful picture with a scoop of leaves.
It's all craft, not art.
There must be a saying in art, and there must be ideological connotation in the work.
Therefore, Wan Changsheng, who seems to be born as a folk artist, can be easily achieved.
He has a nod to Michelangelo here.
Didn't he go to Italy to see Michelangelo's famous struggling slaves, as if the uncarved slaves were half-finished in stone.
Wan Changsheng's head also protrudes from the cube.
It's just like the seal commemorating Professor Gou at the beginning, this cube is made horizontally and vertically, and the axe is hard, and the cube forms a huge contrast with the soft curve veil girl, and the connection between the two is not stiff, but as if the hard object is partially softened into such a beautiful stunner.
Obviously, there is a kind of meaning of breaking free from the shackles of rigidity and turning into femininity.
But there was no despair and silent accusation as Michelangelo, and even the girl's face with her chin raised high had no intention of screaming and protesting.
The first is beauty, the face covered with light veil still shows a hazy beauty, the kind of beauty that nothing can stop.
The greatest feeling when Wan Changsheng stared at Beheye was all expressed.
People who are more beautiful than her must be there.
According to the aesthetics of the East Asian race, you may even think that her mouth is too big, her forehead is a little narrow, or something else, but compared to those who are beautiful but have no soul, Behye is full of silent resistance.
She yearns for beauty and freedom.
From the first time Wan Changsheng saw her, he felt the struggle of eagerly wanting to break through the feudal bondage that still existed in this world.
From the perspective of Wan Changsheng or most people, such absurd, ignorant and cruel rituals can still be carried out in a grand manner, which is tantamount to a mockery of the so-called modern civilization.
If you have money or geopolitical factors, you can allow it to exist, and then turn a blind eye to the environmental protection and blame the poor who are struggling to survive for using too many plastic bags......
That's the reality.
If it was said that three years ago, Wan Changsheng saw Du Wen's somewhat gray eyes, he didn't know how to behave except to stretch out his hand.
Now he will.
The seemingly square and cold cube is reality and etiquette, which is so annoying in the face of beauty.
The beauty of this struggle is not bloody cruelty, nor is it a soul like Sadako, but a yearning full of confidence and high-spiritedness.
That's right, it's the yearning, the yearning for a better life, the yearning for the light.
No matter how difficult and cruel life is, as a human being, we should be strong and yearn for that beautiful place.
Sculpture is actually more difficult to express verve than painting.
Because of such a monochrome shaping, it is difficult to express the ideological things such as the eyes, and can only use facial expressions and even a little subtle eye muscle changes to show the charm.
But Wan Changsheng was covered with a veil.
Make this performance even more ambiguous.
There is certainly his ironic metaphor for the veil as a special object, but also the fighting reason that reduces the sharpness of the whole sculpture.
It was only in his later years that Michelangelo used unfinished semi-finished works such as bondage slaves to implicitly express his helplessness and struggle with reality.
In fact, this kind of trick has been played in Chinese literati calligraphy and painting for thousands of years.
was skillfully poured into the sculpture by Wan Changsheng.
When he is immersed in the creation, his eyes are no longer plastic, the feeling has been blurred between breaths, the veil really seems to be able to be lifted at will, every facial undulation and veil folds, after countless trade-offs and depths, finally highlight the elasticity full of life tension.
The slightest change in the depths of the folds brings out the trembling of the soul like a gossamer, spraying thin in the most silent places, vast in the most subtle places.
In a word, those who can understand will feel resonance and shock from the depths of their souls, and those who can't understand will only be amazed that this special veil is really carved!
Lin Chuni can obviously understand it, in fact, as long as she grasps the special point of the veil.
Combined with Behje's behavior of taking off the veil in the past few days, we can understand where the connotation of Wan Changsheng's creation is.
She herself poured ink into the tattoo at the talent level, and she didn't speak when she saw it.
He stood there silently, as if to fully understand the meaning inside.
Of course Jia Huanhuan can't understand it, she doesn't need to understand it, why are some things so clear, what's wrong with her husband making an avatar of an Arab beauty, just turned around and wanted to fold the quilt on the sofa, huh? Why is it gone?
Wan Changsheng just got up and went to the bathroom in the small courtyard to wash, where is the quilt?
Beheye didn't look at the sculpture at all, and tried his best to deal with Jia Huanhuan, and pointed to the black shadow that had just disappeared ghostly at the door, indicating that the servant had taken the things away.
Jia Huanhuan's English level is even a problem with level 4 listening, so she can only laugh and compare, but she can still communicate.
Beheye hurriedly and respectfully pulled her to the sofa next to her to talk about her hometown, flipped through all kinds of exotic photos on her phone, and invited her to go to the desert together when she could play.
Jia Huanhuan enjoyed this kind of closeness very much, and was very curious.
But with great national pride, we also have desert ......
There's nothing to be proud of.
Wan Changsheng came out and saw such a harmonious scene.
Lin Chuni stopped him: "What is the last material?" ”
Haha, this scratched Wan Changsheng's itch, and hurriedly went to the sculpture to compare.
Generally speaking, the clay sculpture is only the basic draft made by the sculptor, and the final enlargement will be transformed into a material that is more in line with the original design intention, so it does not need to be too big, and the size of a life-size head and neck is relatively common.
Wan Changsheng is half a person tall, and there are not many avatars as big as a large watermelon.
But he has so many high-grade clays, and secondly, he is used to making big Bodhisattva clay sculptures, and the most important thing is to make more details.
Now along the back of the head of the head and the cube of the fusion of the part of the signal: "The head is white marble, but the back is stainless steel, this junction is the best if there is a sense of ink, but unfortunately it is impossible to make this gradient between the metal material and the white marble." ”
Lin Chuni understood in seconds: "The feeling of breaking out of the cocoon? ”
Wan Changsheng nodded heavily: "Yes!" ”
This is the feeling that the artist has a bosom friend, and the things he makes are understood.
Lin Chuni no longer had the usual ridicule and ridicule on her face, and stared intently at the dark gray clay sculpture: "White white marble...... Symbolizing beauty and purity, stainless steel ...... Hehe, it's a bit of the same as the sculpture you made in the park square, which is the modern meaning of transforming stainless steel from stone, and this is the beautiful purity of breaking out of the cocoon and reborn from the cold steel...... Congratulations, I think this one is more ...... than the one at our school gate How to describe it, there is not only the atmosphere of art, but also the smoothness in your bones, you have given this work a lot of exquisite visibility, so that many audiences who can't see the meaning behind it can also watch a lively, as for those who can see the doorway, then they can better understand the strong contrast between the complex and the simple, the emotion is here, right? ”
Wan Changsheng was anxious about the progress of the semi-finished product: "You talk, I will go to the sculpture factory to contact and arrange the enlargement, and when I finish the final product, I will gather everyone for dinner!" ”
Lin Chuni is rare: "I want to see this process, because I always feel that the transition from stainless steel to white marble is a difficult ......"
Jia Huanhuan is already preparing for a road trip to the desert with Beheye, wave your hand and go.
Guo Huaisheng frowned, he even thought that the contrast between the most complex and the most simple that Lin Chuni said was too strong, and it was not recommended to make stainless steel into a rigid cube, but to make it into a stubborn stone streamline with ancient Chinese rhyme.
Now stainless steel can also be made into the round and concave and convex shape of countless curved surfaces, and the artistic beauty is even better, and it is not so sharp: "Why are you so sharp?" Where are you going to put it? Your park tourists are holding the corners and looking for you to lose money! ”
Lin Chuni stood beside her, her rosy lips moved but she still didn't say anything.
Wan Changsheng was really sleek, and he smiled and analyzed the ins and outs of the master: "We sent a group of people to the Middle East to inspect the stadium and transform it into an art community, but we can't make a series of artworks in it, how about our sculpture department to package and sell an Arabian style series to the Middle East tyrants?" It can be regarded as us going abroad and giving Shu Mei a long face. ”
It is impossible for Guo Huaisheng's eyes not to light up.
Lin Chuni's concise expression to Behye was really right.
Chinese people, who have suffered from foreigners for hundreds of years, have an indescribable enthusiasm for throwing things outside to grow their faces.
Wan Changsheng took himself out, but in fact, in the last ten or so days, from the time he went to Huhai for five or six days, and closed for four or five days to create, in fact, Shumei has become a big scene.
More than half of it is for this matter.
Ma Zhenyu and they were directly pulled to the stadium by a series of off-road teams to visit and take pictures in the past, there are no overgrown weeds, only sun and no rain, more than ten years later, the original five or six stadiums except for one have the value of renovation will be used for the World Cup in a few years, the others are basically in a state of abandonment and idleness.
This is a comprehensive sports center, a large sports field of 50,000 people, two or three swimming pools or basketball halls next to it, and a large number of buildings with training centers and outdoor sports fields, all of which are abandoned.
At the beginning, these large-scale facilities were completed with the help of local tyrants, without thinking about how to preserve and use them in the future, and the dormitories such as the athletes' village are now for foreign workers to stay, and the locals don't look down on them at all!
Not that many people use it at all.
Of the more than 2 million people in the country, less than 400,000 are natives, and the rest are all South and Southeast Asian laborers who serve and work for the locals.
The senior people of the whole country sat in and were not satisfied.
So on the waterfront, in the city, near the palace, these original face-saving projects are now as ugly as scars.
This art team from Jiangzhou, China, has come up with the right solution.
