After listening to her boyfriend's words, Mu Jin seemed to understand a little bit, but the concept in her mind has always been a bit difficult to change: "Can a person with bad character be called an artist?".
"Artists are judged by their artistic achievements, not by their character." Fang Yi said, "Let alone artists, there are some literati who have made considerable contributions to literature, but this is very shameless! Otherwise, they are called
Literary person?" Fang Yi did not give an example of someone he knew, Guo. Although his calligraphy was good and he could write articles, he was a person who jumped up and down in that specific historical period. He changed from a literary person to a literary person.
A pug, with no independent spirit and no personality! Thinking about it makes Fang Yi feel sick to his stomach.
Mu Jin said: "I don't think people with bad character can be called literati or artists. These people should be positive! Well! They must be positive."
Fang Yi smiled and continued to do his own thing without saying a word, although he thought that his little girlfriend was a bit facialized, just like an old movie from the past. The handsome ones with thick eyebrows and big eyes were all revolutionaries, and occasionally there was one
The people who are among the enemy are also underground workers. I don’t know why the enemy is so stupid! If Fang Yi had just pulled out all the cool ones in his team and had them chopped off by the guards! Only the crooked melons and cracked jujubes would be left, so there would be no need to worry about the spies inside.
.Every time he thought of this, Fang Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, because Fang Yi found that according to this logic, the first person that Principal Jiang wanted to behead was himself!
"I think Teacher Liu is a good painter and a kind person. He can definitely be regarded as an old artist with both virtue and art." Mu Jin nodded his head in a positive tone.
Pfft! Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Jin looked at her boyfriend who was laughing and asked in confusion: "What's so funny!".
"Nothing! Nothing!" Fang Yi smiled and waved his hands, not saying that Fang Yi thought his teacher Liu Hongshuo had any moral deficiencies. From the bottom of his heart, Fang Yi believed that his teacher was strong-willed and had a character that would rather break than bend.
The character of an artist! But the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes when this double chime of virtue and art is used on a teacher.
You must know that in the art world where Fang Yi hangs out from time to time, Liu Hongshuo is jokingly called the number one troll in the domestic painting circle by these netizens! Not only many living artists have been trolled by the old man, but also the late master Xu Beihong.
The old man made some comments and thought that Mr. Xu’s horse painting was very good, but although the shape and other aspects of the sketch were very good, he didn’t have anything of his own! The level was not as good as that of a master!
Next, Fang Yi heard that his teacher had not only criticized domestic masters, but also criticized Dali when he was in France. Of course, there are also controversies about Dali in the West, and some art critics even called him a self-promoting young man.
The dealer did not recognize his artistic achievements.
Mu Jin feels that Liu Hongshuo is easy to talk to, mostly because Mu Jin is his student's girlfriend. If an unknown girl comes to his studio, he may be kicked out as soon as he enters the door, and he doesn't want to talk to you. Old man
Nowadays, there are several friends in the domestic painting circle, and there are also quite a few people who hate him behind his back and gnash their teeth with hatred. One more girl is no less than one!
After Fang Yi had laughed, he changed the topic. Mu Jin helped her boyfriend with the canvas and other things. When they stopped, the two of them sat next to the root carving table and took a sip of tea. It was a bit like a married couple.
smell.
The frame Fang Yi planned to paint a self-portrait was not as big as the teacher's, because he had to consider that it would be easy for his little girlfriend to carry, and it would also need to be suitable for hanging on the wall. He directly chose a frame that was 41 x 33.
The two picture frames were stretched and the first layer of base was applied. It was already past 12 noon.
Looking at the two large and small canvases in front of him, Mu Jin said with emotion: "It turns out that painting an oil painting is so complicated!".
"It's much faster now. In the past, many classical masters were very complicated when painting. After painting one layer, you have to wait for the painting to dry before moving on to the next step. It usually takes two or three days for the entire painting to dry.
Then you have to do transparent cover dyeing. If it is not completely dry, continue to paint the next layer. After the whole work is completed, the picture will crack. Now I use the direct painting method and just keep painting like this. A lot of quick-drying oil also appears.
It even reduces the time consumed by the work! Even so, it cannot be compared with the speed of freehand Chinese painting! If you want to paint realistically, it will take a lot of time." At this point, he pointed at the picture frame prepared for the teacher: "
This painting will take the teacher at least a month to complete!"
"It's really complicated! It's very different from what I thought. I feel a headache just looking at the oil," Mu Jin said.
"It seems to give people a headache. There are eleven or two kinds of oils that teachers commonly use. I don't know much about mediators, varnishes, etc. Anyway, each oil has its own use.
"Fang Yi felt a little numb when he thought about this. Oil painting, even if it is a classical painting method, is really not easy to learn and different masters have different techniques. Not to mention the techniques, even the oils are not the same.
The same, because the oils at that time were all prepared by the masters themselves.
So now we see that the colors of the works of the classical masters are different, especially in the color of the skin. Not to mention the pigment preparation, Ai Fanke used an amber luminous agent, which can make his works last for hundreds of years.
It's as exciting as ever. Now everyone knows that amber is a chemical substance with a high melting point. It's very difficult to turn this thing into an oil. Until now, no one knows how Ai Fanke did it.
.
A single, unrelated factory used imitative painting methods, which resulted in the loss of many paint and oil formulas. Even the hard-working masters who were unknown before and later became famous, Xiao Benzi led his own
The techniques and recipes have disappeared together. Now it is impossible to fake it, because the pigments are all different. How can you fake it? You can tell the difference by looking at the color of the pigments used by others, plus what analyzers and the like nowadays,
There is no way to hide fake paintings.
Two canvases, one large and one small, were left waiting to be dried, so Fang Yi and his girlfriend went out to find a place to eat.
After Fang Yi locked the door and walked away with his arms around his little girlfriend's waist for a few minutes, his girlfriend's problems started to come!
Mu Jin raised his head and looked at Fang Yi and asked: "Why do you have to learn oil painting? Why don't you learn Chinese painting? The freehand brushwork you just mentioned is so powerful. It only takes a few minutes to create a million-dollar painting with one stroke of the brush."
Just come out!”
Fang Yi looked at Mu Jin winking at him mischievously. He was embarrassed to say that when he drew, he looked like a dog crawling across rice paper, so he could only smile and put gold on his face: "That's what I am.
I like to face difficulties!". How can I put it otherwise? It is so difficult to tell my girlfriend that what I have in my head is of no use to Chinese painting? What if I scare my girlfriend away? Mu Jin might have thought that Fang Yishen
Mental illness!
"There must be another reason! It's just that you're embarrassed to say it!" Mu Jin put her head on Fang Yi's chest and said with a smile.
Fang Yi cooperated and laughed twice: "You have already seen this, so how can I mess around in the future! Oil painting is a bit difficult to get started with, but you can paint something decent after four or five years.
"Chinese painting is different. Although it is easy to get started! You can only use it to deceive unknown onlookers after four or five years of painting! It is difficult to reach a certain height without ten or twenty years of immersion." After that, he started
Show off your knowledge to your girlfriend, and just tell it as a joke, regardless of whether it's right or not. The main reason is to make your girlfriend happy!
Fang Yi hugged his girlfriend and began to analyze: The biggest difference between oil painting and traditional Chinese painting is that traditional Chinese painting is usually a literati painting. Generally speaking, a great painter in ancient times is a literati first, and he can at least play with any poems, lyrics, and songs! Not only with
Painting skills are also related to the painter's overall literary accomplishment. Of course it is not easy for you to play well. Usually these people are the so-called gentry class and belong to the ruling class. Fundamentally speaking, Chinese painting is not something for the working people to appreciate.
It is something that literati use to express their emotions. Isn’t your painting good and very craftsmanship? The most obvious historical example is the Italian Lang Shining. You see, an oil painter who arrived in the Qing Dynasty was deprived of chaff and tortured by his descendants for three generations.
, in the end it was in the hands of Shiquan veteran Qianlong and he became a master of fine brushwork.
Western oil paintings have been intended for others to appreciate from the beginning. Many classical masters painted mythological and religious figures, such as Jesus and God. Most of them are placed in churches. Even portraits of people are mostly
Many of them are custom-made for wealthy people, such as businessmen, so that others can hang them at home for viewing.
If you draw a freehand Chinese painting, there will be no mountains, rivers, people, ghosts or ghosts! How can these rich people with no culture or insufficient education understand it? You can sit down with your wife, children and the whole family
Waiting for you to paint! You have painted them all. Who will pay you to paint a family like a ghost party! No one is paying. The classical masters opened their mouths to drink the northwest wind! There is no country to pay European painters.
Tax avoidance is given to things like subsidies.
It’s not like you don’t mention whether someone pays you or not, you’ll ruin your reputation, and if it’s more serious, you might even get beaten. While he’s beating you, he might even say: “You’re a piece of shit.”
Cheating money!". In ancient China, how many businessmen had the courage to blatantly beat up scholars? Except for a few special dynasties, most of the people standing in the court were sharp-tongued literati.
Strange!
Fang Yi talked all the way, while Mu Jin was amused by her boyfriend and laughed all the way. When she heard the last thing, she just hung on Fang Yi's body and smiled, and was dragged away by Fang Yi.
Although living standards are now so high that some people even hold New Year’s Eve dinner in restaurants, it was still not easy to find a small restaurant for a meal on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Fang Yi took his girlfriend around the back door street of Shiyi
It took almost half an hour to find a restaurant to worship the five internal organs temple of the two of them. After finishing the meal, Fang Yi sent his little girlfriend home, and then turned around and went home.
