Art is the highest way of thinking and the highest pursuit of "beauty". The definition of beauty is the response of people to their own pleasure when their needs are met, that is, the response to aesthetic feeling.
With regard to beauty, countless wise men and famous artists have put forward their own definitions and explanations throughout the ages ... Zhuangzi pointed out: heaven and earth are beautiful without saying anything, and the four seasons are irregular, and everything makes sense without saying anything. Descartes put forward the famous proposition of "I think, therefore I am" in Meditations on the First Philosophy, arguing that "beauty and pleasure are only a relationship between our judgment and the object". Hume believes that the decisive factor of beauty lies in "the original structure of human nature", custom or accidental mood. Kant's Critique of Judgment holds that aesthetic judgment is "the judgment of an object or its expression based on the happiness and unhappiness of completely unrelated ideas" and "the only unique happiness of freedom without considering interests". Hegel pointed out in Aesthetics that "beauty is the perceptual manifestation of ideas" and "Chernyshevski put forward the definition of" beauty is life "in the aesthetic relationship between art and reality, insisting that both beauty and art come from real life, emphasizing that the beauty of reality is higher than the beauty of art, and opposing the pure art theory.
"Beauty" ultimately comes from life and is the sublimation and refinement of the original ecology of the beauty of life. For artists and works of art, it is difficult to evaluate their artistic value without "beauty"! ! !
The ten contemporary masters have their own artistic achievements, which are indistinguishable. Art has no absolute standards, only relative judgments. Just like every audience has a "Hamlet" in their hearts, literati naturally have different styles and perceptual knowledge. There is no praise or criticism, no right or wrong, just an artistic impression. ...
Comment on Wu Guanzhong: Today's painting masters can reach heights that others can't, only Wu Guanzhong! Wu Guanzhong is the only one who can be the first person in the auction of contemporary art, but he does not make public and keeps the artist's maverick style! Only Wu Guanzhong dares to sharply criticize the present situation of contemporary painting in the interview! Therefore, this is a strange man, a master with eccentric talents, Wu Guanzhong. He was born in the late cold, began in Qingping, and finally became the best in the world. In today's calligraphy and painting circles in China, if Wu Shuo is the second, who dares to call him the first?
Scholar's comment: The best painting world is not Lao Jinsong! ! !
Comments on Zhao Wuji: Never too old to learn, never too old to learn. This is a respected artist. He has been pursuing freedom and creative breakthrough. He will not easily pretend to be a master by shooting works at sky-high prices. There was a self-encouragement saying: I am not afraid of old age or death. As long as I can draw with a brush, I'm not afraid. I just hope I can have enough time to finish my painting, which is bolder than the last one. ……
Scholar's comment: an old tree is wonderful, and it strives for change all its life. ...
Evaluation of Huang Yongyu: His works have a certain sense of nationality and vicissitudes. The most impressive is the 1980 Zodiac stamp "Monkey", which is very valuable at present! ! ! What impressed me most was not only his artistic attainments, but also his hometown feelings.
Scholar's comment: I lost half my life, and only a genius helped me! ! !
Comments on Guanling Fan: As masters of calligraphy and painting, there are Tang Bohu in Ming Dynasty and Guanling Fan today. He was awarded the title of "Poet Laureate of the World", which initiated the "new ancient poetry". If we borrow the language of a performance in the Spring Festival Evening: "Mr. Fan is definitely the boldest poet among painters and the greatest painter in the field of poetry", we can know from his influence that he has created poetic oil paintings for the world! ! !
Scholar's comment: Poetry and painting are absolutely brilliant! ! !
