Chapter 303: The Burning Painting (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Messy tones pile up into messy moods.

The atmosphere in the sketch quickly became gloomy, and a melancholy atmosphere filled the room.

Expressing tragedy is an eternal aesthetic theme in a work of art.

The indelible sense of grief between life and death is the most shocking scene in this theme.

Anya frowned in pain.

A previous Impressionist predecessor once spoke to a female artist.

When the painter leans his passion for fine art on the canvas, the audience will easily feel your excitement.

The more enthusiastic the painter's brushstrokes, the more pleasant the viewer's perception of the painting.

The only exception is the tragic theme.

To create a tragedy is a kind of masochistic self-torture.

The charm of the so-called tragedy is that the finest porcelain is broken for others to see.

It is a fragment of a broken Jun kiln that "rains over the sky and the clouds break", every cent is as thin as paper, and every point is as clear as jade, which makes the audience feel the ruthlessness of fate.

The deep sorrow is a thick fog like a black sickness, dangerous and intensely corrosive.

They will destroy not only the good mood of the viewer who reads the artwork, but also the creator himself. Because the painter is always the first viewer of the work.

So from the age of forty onwards, the senior chose to be a pure impressionist landscape painter.

He never created a single work with a dark tone, and he never even participated in any exhibition with tragic elements.

The predecessor said that he had counted an interesting statistic, that Impressionism is the longest-lived school of painting in North America and Europe today.

It is not the longevity of the drawing history, but the longevity of the biological sense.

Monet lived to be 86, Degas to be 83, and Renoir to be 85. Nowadays, there are also quite a few famous Impressionists who are close to 100 years old.

Compared with the most decadent, depressed, lonely, and hesitant melancholy death tones, the painters of the Symbolist school, who painted "Island of Death" and "Death of Angels" at every turn, and hung up at the age of thirty or forty, can make much more of a living.

After all, the former is the aesthetics of depicting sunshine, and the latter is the aesthetics of depicting sadness.

Doing this kind of work, happy and healthy every day means that the painter is not good enough, and he can't even impress himself.

Good enough.

It's easy to draw and draw, and then you draw yourself to death.

This is, of course, just a playful quip.

But if Amy's cat is cute and fun in the previous detective cat sketch, it makes Ms. Anya's estrogen secretion have the urge to raise a cub to play.

The moment of staring at Amy's blank gray and yellow eyes on this drawing.

She was overwhelmed by the oppressive and deep breath that flowed through the painting.

It was only then that a female artist realized what the joy of motherhood is.

A few minutes later.

Anya began to empathize with a cat, and from Amy's point of view, she felt the sadness of a mother-like cat saying goodbye to the child she grew up with.

The female artist turned her head and closed her eyes, unwilling to make eye contact with Amy on the drawing.

She imagined the scene and mood of the detective cat when she drew the drawing.

There must have been a misty light rain outside the window, the iron-gray sky resembling a clip from an old-fashioned black-and-white movie, and a middle-aged woman sitting in the shadows, unable to distinguish her skin color, was silently applying paint to the canvas with an oil paintknife, and on the screen video beside her, a cat and her child were saying goodbye.

The air was filled with ghostly grief that could not be dissolved.

It's like substance.

Did the detective cat lady also experience the same thing to express a cat's feelings so unforgettable?

There was a cry in the living room.

Tony was still sobbing at first, and soon, the small choked sobs turned into howling cries.

Tears flowed down his cheeks, staining the hem of his garment.

Detective Cat's sketch takes Tony back to that brutal night of separation twenty-one years ago.

Tony reached out and tried to take the cat away from the screen.

The palm of his hand grabbed a ripple of water on the TV.

The display screen seemed to be a lake separating the virtual and the real, coldly cutting through his fingers that wanted to cross time.

It tells Tony,

It was a past he could never go back to.

"Ugh."

Jane Arnold knew in her heart that this was the result, and he pulled Tony back from the screen.

The detective cat's knife drawing can penetrate into his son's heart, but it is probably not a good thing for Tony to go through such a sad thing again.

He turned his head to look at Dr. King with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing that Dr. Jin Anqing had no intention of stopping him, he asked softly, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, a total of twenty-seven drawings were sent, and this is the nineteenth."

The assistant nodded.

"Then go ahead."

"And eight?" Professor Boggs was suddenly interested.

These nineteen pieces have summarized all the past events of Amy and Tony.

There are eight left.,It should be the work of the detective cat to use his imagination?

It seems that the detective cat is not allowed to be hopeless, and also has its own unique creative ideas.

Although no amount of design will have its own "reincarnation" art theme.

But something is better than nothing.

This shows that the illustrator's professional "bad habit" of giving up thinking and drawing what the employer wants has not infected her too deeply.

"Half real, half virtual?"

Professor Boggs stroked his beard.

He said in a tone as if he were teaching a lesson to a female painter on the other side of the ocean: "The focus of this idea is not on the first half of the work, but on the second half of the work. Suffering is only a process, and enlightenment is the key. ”

"The painter should not only allow Tony to sink into the memories of the old world created by the work, but also allow him to withdraw from the pain and enter the painter's virtual worldview."

"So the key is – what goes in and what comes out. Judging by this theme, there is no need to draw this separate work in the pet hospital. ”

Professor Boggs pointed out from a commanding point, "First of all, it will always remind Tony that he is separated from his cat. Secondly, if the sadness is too strong, it cannot be lost, but it will affect the painter's subsequent narrative. This separate scene is extremely penetrating, but it disrupts the overall emotional continuity of the painting. ”

"The so-called gains outweigh the losses, that's it."

In his "Amy", between the six paintings of "The Present World" and "Reincarnation", he abandons the insertion of a pet hospital in the middle, which is obviously Tony's most impressive scene.

It's not that Professor Boggs doesn't have the confidence to paint this heavy subject, but that he has thought it through.

Even though emotional stimulation is a good thing.

If this picture is added, Tony will always carry the grief that he and Amy have been separated when he realizes the reincarnation of the cat.

Then it's better not to paint.

"When emotions are too heavy, it becomes a burden on life. This is especially true for a child who doesn't grow up. ”

Anya nodded with deep feeling.

The emotions condensed by this sketch made her breathless.

Not to mention Tony himself?

"I'm still young and I don't have enough experience. If I were her, the way to deal with it here would be ...... FUCK。 ”

Professor Boggs was only halfway through his suggestion when he suddenly got stuck in his mouth.

I'm going to go!

What did he see?

Professor Boggs rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the new sketch that the assistant had switched to on the screen.

All of a sudden, he was stupid.

It was an orange light.

Many of the pieces have a theme color.

Impressionist paintings tended to use a large number of bright and warm monochromes, while the Pre-Raphaelites often used blue, purple, and green tones to form a sad and silent mood. Professor Boggs's Amy uses a lot of black and white, as well as different formulations of high-grade gray.

The subject of the painting in front of me is a patch of red orange.

The cadmium color on the walls of the pet ward was filled with the entire screen as if it didn't cost money.

These short lines of alternating warm tones and cool colors are densely woven together on the screen.

Hundreds of shorter lines resemble flowing sparks, and longer, more graceful spiral blade touches are intertwined, like cat hair wrapped around tongues of fire.

The whole painting is lit up by millions of small lamp beads, like a flame with a rhythmic rhythm.

"No, that's wrong."

Professor Boggs gasped.

It's not "like" a rhythmic flame.

The detective cat is just drawing a flame on the screen, and the flame seems to condense into the shape of a cat in the screen.

The flame in the center is the brightest, and the orange is almost red.

THE IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE OF THE MINI-LED DISPLAY IS THAT IT CAN PROVIDE UP TO 1500 NITS OF LUMINOUS FLUX PER UNIT AREA.

In human terms, it is.

Even brighter than some low-wattage incandescent lamps.

The detective cat appears to have drawn a sun in the center of the frame, causing Professor Boggs to squint slightly.

At the edge of the picture, the flame gradually goes out, the color temperature changes from hot to cold, and the light turns to purple, forming a small dark color bar with burnt.

This......

Professor Boggs's eyes widened like brass bells.

That's - half a charred and curly cat tail!

The detective cat also seems to be afraid that the theme of his performance is not obvious enough.

He also signed a name at the bottom of the sketch very "intimately".

The only painting in this set that has been named by the artist is ......

“C、R、E、M、A、T、O、R”

Ms. Anya spelled the word letter by letter in her head, and she even begged in her heart that she had misspelled it.

She must have known that word.

But in this scene, the eight letters read like a hell's joke.

Cremator

"Crematorium." - The joke is not funny at all, but it makes the audience only feel a chill to the bone.

When the assistant saw Professor Boggs's "Amy", the first artist that came to mind was Picasso.

Black humor is.

When a female artist sees this painting of a detective cat, the key words that come to mind are actually Picasso's works.

Picasso's early works were often associated with the element of "blue paint".

The melancholy blue of the sea is the most common theme color of the cubist.

When he was young, a friend of the painter who often prostituted with him suddenly pulled out a revolver in a blue-decorated bar.

First he shot his girlfriend in the head, and then he shot himself in the head.

When he committed suicide, he was ready to drag his girlfriend to die without saying hello, of course, he was a scumbag.

But the death of his best friend and depression also contagious Picasso's painting style.

This tragedy was a heavy blow to Picasso's heart. He began to think that blue was a sad color leading to hell.

It just so happens that this color represents hell in Egyptian tradition, symbolizing death.

So from then on, Picasso often filled his canvases with bitter blue paint, binding various subjects that put pressure on the mind.

It formed a very famous "Blue Style Period" in the history of art, and this creative experience of Bi will also be called the "Blue Melancholy Period" or "Blue Sadness Period" by the academic circles.

The cadmium orange burning under the detective's cat's oil knife is just as melancholy and mournful blue as Picasso's sea.

The flame burning on the sketch is matched with Amy's charred tail.

Not only can it not transmit any light and heat to the audience's soul at all, but it is as cold as standing in the snow, soaked in sadness.

The cry in the ears should match everyone's low mood.

Tony wasn't crying anymore, he was howling like an angry cat.

In adult society, even crying is depressing.

Tony, on the other hand, is a childlike cry, a beastly cry.

The unbridled hysterical cry echoed in the living room like a loudspeaker with a rough voice.

A good family environment, a material life surrounded by maids, plus the influence of autism.

At the age of forty-one, Tony is still cared for like a child.

Emotional intelligence arrears such as Professor Boggs, when he mentions Amy in front of Tony, he will only use a look that everyone understands, replacing the fact that Amy is dead.

Who would bear to tear the bloody cruel facts to this child!

Detective Cat did.

Not only did she do that, but she also opened the door to the outrageous outrageous, and went so far as to go home and draw a picture of Amy being charred in the furnace.

The better the detective cat draws, the deeper the stimulation of Tony.

Tony was scratching at the expensive display of the television set with his fingertips like a cat scratching at a blackboard with his paws, his fingertips rubbing against the screen and making a squeaky squeak.

The female artist did not doubt it.

If there was a burning flame on the TV, Tony would have pounced on it and lifted his cat out of the flames.

Anya admired the detective cat's drawing skills again, and at this time, a trace of anger against the painter welled up in her heart.

That detective cat, doesn't she have a heart, won't her heart hurt!

Female artists are all in their hearts, and they regard the detective cat as the same person as Picasso, the same talent, and the same scum with character flaws.

"This guy doesn't have an antisocial personality."

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!
