It is difficult to talk about the topic of beauty. This is hardly something I can explain clearly standing here alone. It requires us to communicate at close range together. Nowadays in our lives, the word beauty mostly only stays in the superficial category. My own feeling is that, for example, our generation is faced with a barrenness of beauty, or even a void of beauty. At that time, when I was working in the queue, I also brought some art books with me. Many of my farmer brothers were also my peers and did not have the opportunity to come into contact with images of art. So when I saw a person in the educated youth spot who was called a painter When people bring a lot of art books, they first have a sense of curiosity. So in my spare time, I am willing to share this knowledge of art with them. In this sharing process, I saw that beautiful images can touch their hearts more quickly and directly than a novel or a poem, making them feel that in addition to the heaven and earth in front of them, there are also Many imaginary worlds.
Of course the situation today is very different. We have extremely convenient conditions today. When we turn on the mobile phone screen, we say that we have entered the era of picture reading. Our material life has also been greatly improved. People often go abroad, and now they are willing to visit famous museums like the Louvre. But I also heard that the main thing is to look for the three treasures in the Louvre. After walking around, you will be satisfied after seeing the three treasures, and you can go home. We are in such an embarrassing and somewhat worrying state. On the one hand, we pursue knowledge and art, but on the other hand, our popularity of beauty is not enough. How many articles in our primary school textbooks are about art? There are probably some drawings, some pictures, and some hands-on classes that have been squeezed out by other cultural classes. For our society as a whole, the art market is now developing by leaps and bounds, and the prices of this artwork in various auctions and galleries are very competitive for attention. Some of our TV programs are also very popular because they involve treasure hunting and treasure appraisal. When people see those works of art, they first treat them as treasures. Of course, works of art are treasures, but their beautiful value is often ignored. In other words, to understand its beautiful value is also to understand its economic value. It is under such a situation that I think it would be meaningful to set a topic about beauty in "Let's Talk".
So where does beauty exist? This is a question we often pursue. We usually say that beauty refers to the beauty of art. These works of art are the creations of artists. This is the best, and can also be said to be the most important, way to bring us to the palace of aesthetics. Of course, there is also the beauty of life, in our living space and in all areas of our daily necessities, food, housing and transportation. Just like the city we live in now, we see the rise of countless architectural forests made of steel and concrete. But on the other hand, there are many things that seem familiar, thousands of layers, and thousands of streets and scenes. Therefore, we have to pay attention to the creation of beauty in our own largest living space. Of course, when talking about beauty, we cannot do without talking about the beauty of nature. Last week I went to the grasslands in western Sichuan to do sketching. That road is the famous National Highway 318. The large advertisement said: This is the most beautiful national highway along the way. I saw many motorcades, motorcycles, bicycles, and young people on foot walking along the Sichuan-Tibet Line. I am very happy to see that our young people today not only regard hiking as a test of their physical fitness and stamina, but also appreciate nature and devote themselves to nature. But after all, the team is not very large, and not everyone needs to do actual hiking, but we can feel more of the beauty of nature in our own lives, after work and study. So what Lin Lin always says is nothing more than that we must reawaken the awareness of beauty today and discover beauty through various opportunities.
So how to solve the knowledge problems that we may need? I think you need to read art history and art history first. For example, Western art started from ancient Greece and Rome. In 400 BC, it formed a plastic expression about people.
It brings together people from different professions, different backgrounds, and different classes. Everyone here has an open mind and equal personality. So I think our attitude towards beauty should be more about enabling a more unhindered communication between ourselves and works of art, between ourselves and life, between ourselves and others, and between ourselves and nature. The less utilitarian aesthetics you have, the more you can gain the charm and power of beauty, and the more you can long for a beautiful world. Thanks.
Let’s start the lecture. Key points of Fan Di’an’s speech:
1. In fact, beautiful images can touch their hearts the fastest and most directly and make them feel better than a novel or a poem. In addition to the heaven, earth and countryside in front of you, there are many imaginary worlds.
2. I am very happy to see that today’s young people not only regard hiking as a test of their physical fitness and stamina, but also appreciate nature and devote themselves to nature.
3. Instead of looking at some miscellaneous images, it is better to construct your own knowledge about art and art history, cultivate a beautiful sapling in your heart, and let it grow slowly. There will eventually be a time when the branches and leaves are flourishing, enriching your own soul.
4. The less utilitarian your aesthetics, the more you can gain the charm and power of beauty, and the more you will long for a beautiful world.
