Chapter 195. Not only get the gold reward, but also get... (4000 words)
Of course, the professors in the judges just thought about it and did not rush to draw conclusions directly.
After all, Yamauchi First Floor is considered a high-ranking oil painting scientist. Since he can appreciate it, this painting "Summer is over" must be outstanding.
Most of the judges surrounded them, and only two judges were still discussing their undiscussed works - they were Professor Toshiyama from Tokyo University of the Arts and the active painter Yoshiyong.
The two of them seemed to have discovered a good golden prize seedling, so they kept discussing it, and they didn't even hear the words on the first floor of the mountain.
Putting aside them, the other judges came to the first floor of Yamanuchi.
"It's indeed a painting about humanities."
They just took a rough look and saw the woman in the painting wearing an interview work suit.
Sure enough...it's not a natural landscape painting.
If it is just a simple natural landscape painting, the requirements for painting skills are too high.
They looked to the lower right corner again, wanting to see whose work it was.
"Keiyi School Private Higher Education?"
High school students?
When I saw the prefix, many people were a little surprised.
Because those who can enter the final selection stage of the Art Creation Awards are basically college students, and high school students' works cannot withstand the pressure under that situation.
Even if it is not the five major art academies in Tokyo, it is still a college student in art from all over Japan... Why did a high school student suddenly get in?
It feels like you want to buy a motorcycle, but you didn't expect to have a bicycle mixed in a row of motorcycles.
But the name of the Kitayoshi School is quite familiar.
They continued to look down the line, and then they saw the signature of the work - Higashinoji.
So everyone suddenly realized: "It's him."
If you were a little surprised before, after seeing Higashinoji's name, the judges calmed down again.
Higashinoji is indeed a celebrity in Tokyo. After all, he is very young and is just a high school student. Then he has produced a lot of results...
If Musashino University of Fine Arts had not already established Higashinoji, the other four major art academies in Tokyo might have asked some staff to contact Higashinoji.
Regardless of whether Higashinoji is just a false reputation, whether his painting skills are so outstanding in the outside world... just his influence among Tokyo youth... it is absolutely correct to get in touch with them.
But one code is the same.
Although I sighed, the reviews present will not relax the standards because of Higashinoji's name.
They looked up, including Yamauchi's first floor, and also turned their attention to Higashinoji's painting "Summer is over".
Jump, hazy, restless.
This is the first impression this painting "Summer is over" gave Yamauchi's first floor.
This is a female room.
Desktop electric fan, window frame, messy quilt and women in suit sitting beside the bed in the painting...
It can be seen that women should have woken up from a ignorant sleep state.
She picked up her shoulder bag and started to tidy it up, but after she tidyed it up for a while, she found something was wrong, so she lowered her head halfway, and then she realized that she had accidentally spilled out all the things in her shoulder bag.
She half-cuffed her body, covered her mouth and yawned half-jaw. It seemed that she wanted to pick up the things that fell to the ground, but her body was only moved halfway and stopped, and then her face also showed an expression of complexity and loneliness.
Looking at this woman in suit, the judges below couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Just picking up a shoulder bag, why do you have complex and lonely psychological feelings?
However, keep reading...they got the answer.
It turns out that women in suits mixed up the shoulder bags they used when they were students with the shoulder bags they used for work now...
No. Probably not a confusion.
Rather than saying it’s a confusion, it’s better to subconsciously take the shoulder bag I used when I was a student.
The woman in the suit who has grown up thought she was still the student who went to school with her shoulder bag.
Her complex, sad, and lonely expression also illustrates this.
"This is very cleverly designed...it is just the detail of the shoulder bag to express the mood of the characters in the painting."
Some judges below couldn't help but say something.
This is indeed a clever technique.
Compared to the previous "Jiaziyuan" that clearly shows that youth has gone away, Higashinoji's move gives people a sense of loss.
Because no matter who it is, has had such experience.
I accidentally sorted out the room, but accidentally found objects I had used before... my youthful memories were also involved.
This feeling is not only true for students, but even many university professors who serve as judges also have the same feeling.
After all, anyone comes from when they are young.
The graduation photos of the first class of students I have brought, and the first time I received gifts from students... These are hard to let go, and it will make people feel particularly complicated when they are savored.
But no matter how you recall or think about it... the beautiful things that have passed away will gradually disappear with time...
This idea is indeed possible, and not to mention that there is also the theme of "growth" in it.
The corners of the mouth of the woman in the suit finally raised helplessly, obviously she had accepted the reality.
Growth is always accompanied by loss.
I have to say that this Higashinoji really tightly grasped the theme of this artistic creation award, and there is no place to take advantage of the issue.
"It's not just the theme...you can look at the application of color." Yamauchi First Floor reminded him, and at the same time he sighed in his heart.
This time Higashinoji gave him a great surprise.
If the surprise that the last "Tokyo" gave Yamauchi's first floor was the strong sense of contradiction between the alternation of cold and cold.
Then this time, "Summer is over" gives him the ultimate use of pigments... Whether it is gradient color or contrast, Higashinoji has done a very good job, and it can be clearly seen that he has made progress again.
The background color of this painting is very erratic.
The zinc-white sunlight carries a little yellow color, making the whole picture linger in a hazy and jumpy feeling, making the whole picture look light and fluttering.
This light and fluttering color gives people a dizzy feeling when they just woke up from a nap in the hot summer.
Dizzy, restless, hazy... This should have made people feel irritated when they see it.
However, Higashinoji's skillful skills handled it perfectly, not only did it not give people any anxiety, but it made this summer look very refreshing.
It feels like a young man fantasy in summer.
But under this refreshing color, the whole room looks very realistic... and there is an indescribable sense of depression.
The application of this realistic painting method has suppressed the "light" feeling of the whole picture, and has turned into an indescribable hazy and restless atmosphere.
Higashinoji did not deliberately use the suppressed colors of large brushes to suppress the light feeling of the picture like many people.
Instead, it was done the opposite and drew the decoration of the room in an overly realistic way - a small desktop fan with exposed blue and red wire insulation layer... a grey and severely worn window frame...
There are no sparkling fireflies, nor are there watermelons that feast on summer.
The young people's summer fantasy is just a bubble in this painting.
This completely different painting method is like the evil man Higashinoji waved his big stick and harshly hitting your forehead, allowing you to sober up and let another devil's warning in your ear, "Summer is over, and your youth is over."
It's really uncomfortable...but this is also reality.
The judges present finally understood what the title of Higashinoji's title is over.
‘Summer is over’, but there is still a moment when the ending summer comes back, but people’s youth is different from this.
Time flies, summer comes to an abrupt end, and young people have to tie their bow tie and keep busy as a hard-working member of society.
Some people fall into the sea of mediocrity and disappear in a blink of an eye. Some people work hard and shine with light... But no matter what, the lost things will not come back. This is growth, and also youth.
Looking at this painting, some people even want to call and say a few words to their classmates who were studying hard in the past...
But no matter what, Higashinoji's painting is indeed a seedling of Jin Sheng - the other party is indeed not just a false reputation, but a real skill.
Just when someone wanted to submit the painting Higashinoji to the Jinbao candidate, Mano Nako, who had been standing behind them without saying anything, suddenly sighed:
“It’s a great work indeed.”
As the Minister of Science in the Ministry of Culture and Culture, she does not understand the principles of painting, and she does not understand the painting skills of Higashinoji's painting... But she likes Higashinoji's title title "The Summer is End" the more she reads.
This sentence is very interesting.
It's really delicious.
There is a kind of culture in Japan called the Mu Ai culture. This is probably influenced by Shinto's "everything has a spirit". There is always an indescribable feeling of the passing of a beautiful thing.
The sky is so blue, alas.
The cherry blossoms are falling, alas.
The stars are so bright, alas.
I wore a nice kimono and didn't commit suicide, alas.
Some people may find it very exaggerated, but it can be seen from many Japanese film and television dramas - the protagonist thinks of parting when he sees the rails, lying on the rails, and thinks of childhood memories when he sees the stars...
‘Summer is over’, the summer among them is a manifestation of ‘things’.
Whether it is the fireworks that have soared into the sky in summer, the love letters that have not been sent out, the cicadas that have not been caught in summer, or the beautiful memories that have been flushed by the torrent of time before they have been remembered...
This sentence makes people feel inexplicably sad, and it is even more so for young people.
At least Naoko Mano agrees with this sentence and feels an indescribable literary charm in this sentence.
It’s no wonder, you should know that this was a golden sentence in Japanese culture in previous lives, a sentence that could be on par with the “moonlight is so beautiful”.
and...
"This painting was painted by Mr. Higashino, the author of Kumamoto, right?" Mano Zeko looked around the painting for a few times before asking calmly.
"Yes."
The judges present didn't know why Higashinoji's name suddenly mentioned, but they still answered decisively.
"...It's really outstanding." Mano Noko didn't answer their questions, but just looked at the painting and nodded with a smile.
Looking at Manono's smile, the judges here didn't speak anymore.
Because as soon as Mano Yeko spoke, they knew that Higashinoji's golden reward was basically stable this time.
After all, the Japanese Minister of Science and Technology favored his paintings.
This golden reward must not be able to escape.
But it's okay, Higashinoji's work is indeed of the quality of the Golden Purchase.
At least they have read twenty or thirty pictures, and they can't find any works that can be compared with Higashinoji's "Summer is over".
Whether it is painting techniques, color use, composition, trivial details... the treatment of these places is so so sophisticated that it doesn't look like a high school student at all.
Especially in this aspect of conception.
This painting of Higashinoji takes into account the theme of "growth" and "regret about the passing of beautiful things" - this behavior is very adventurous, but Higashinoji perfectly reproduces it on the canvas.
Some people couldn't help but sigh.
It's really rare.
It feels like he has been painting oil painting for 10 or 20 years.
But this is just a feeling.
You should know that Higashinoji was only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, so where did he spend so much time practicing oil painting for him?
As for Professor Toshiyama and Mr. Yoshida, who were discussing Kim Sang-milk at the beginning, they both looked confused when they learned that Kim Sang-milk had been selected.
After all, they had a heated discussion around a work from a college student in Aichi Prefecture, and their faces and necks were so quarrel that they were red.
As a result, after the discussion, you told me that the golden reward had been selected?
Um???
They were confused.
The two hurriedly looked at Higashinoji's works, and then shook hands and made peace--well, indeed, that Jinzhao Nakai could not beat this painting.
Many people present began to gradually get to know Higashinoji, who was born in Kitayoshi High School.
As for the other side, the one who feels the deepest is probably the first floor of Yamauchi.
The more he comes into contact with Higashinoji, the more indescribable he feels.
No matter it is the theme of "Tokyo" in the big picture.
It is still a small pattern of "resent regrets about beautiful things" and "growth" that Higashinoji grasps it well.
"Has Mr. Kono been so outstanding before?" Yamauchi's first floor couldn't help but think of Ryoko Kono who was in charge of studio management at Kitayo High School.
How did she teach such an outstanding student?
If you have the chance, Yamauchi First Floor really wants to learn from her and gain some experience from her.
But no matter what, it is a good thing that Shi Higashinoji can successfully get the gold reward. Considering that he is still under review, he suppressed the urge to call Shi Higashinoji to report the good news and turned to look at other works.
But he just stood up and before he could even read other works, he was already stopped by Mano Nako.
"Hello, Yamanuchi Teacher." Mano Noko smiled and called Yamanuchi First Floor.
The first floor of Yamauchi did not expect that the Minister of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Culture and Culture would come forward to talk, and asked at the same time with a strange heart: "Ah, Ms. Masano, is there anything wrong?"
"There is a question about this year's Minister of Science Award from the Ministry of Culture and Culture... Teacher Yamauchi should know Mr. Higashino, right?"
Noko Mano smiled affectionately and said something that made Yamauchi First Floor confused.
What?
Minister of Science Award of the Ministry of Culture and Culture?
Looking for Higashinoji?
Could it be that Higashinoji will replicate the last Tokyo Youth Painting Appreciation this time? Let’s take another double view?
Chapter completed!
