Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 119 Picasso, the Transformation Process of a Cow!

Subtitle - The Wrong Way of Imagery.

……

On the screen, a picture of a bull appeared.

A fat bull with a thick head, thick horns, and a thick body.

Li Jun: "The transformation process of a cow, so, how?"

"Don't worry." Pointing to the bull on the picture: "This is the painting method of the bull during the transition from realism to light. Mr. Merelson should be very familiar with this, right?"

Merelson solemnly observed and confirmed again, nodded: "That's right, that's right."

Today, Merelson sees too many things that have turned his career upside down.

It has been many years since Merelson has become the number one painter in the contemporary world and the number one master in the history of the Light School.

All these years, Merelson has been waiting for a comet-like genius to cross the sky and change the future of art.

However, Merelson didn't wait.

But, without a clear path, Merelson couldn't give up his own path.

Because the predecessors did not push the light faction to the limit, now Merelson has entered a new field. It is not so simple to make a decision to give up and find a new path.

Today, everything is satisfied, although it all comes from another world.

Now Merelson, when he sees anything, he has to observe it carefully, for fear of missing something.

It is precisely because of seeing so many things before that Merelson has come to this point.

Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Next is the second picture."

The second picture is still a majestic bull, but his body is almost painted black.

Its high-shouldered shoulders grew taller, its head larger.

Its horns began to point to the sky and became even bigger.

Merelson was thoughtful: "The author of this picture, that is, the master Picasso you said, is looking for a technique of reflecting light?"

Impressionism is the school of light, the most important thing is to use color to form light to reflect objects or characters.

And this one is painted almost completely black, but the characteristics of the bull are not reduced, but more intense.

"Picasso's picture has a comic style in it. By exaggerating the details of the shape, it highlights the identity of the bull."

"So although this picture loses the sense of light, the feeling of the bull has not diminished at all."

Lin Xuan: "A few days later, Picasso made another attempt, the third one."

In the third picture, the bull also has the main characteristics of the first and second pictures.

Impressionism (Lightism) is about the use of light, and the exaggeration of certain special structures in comics to enhance impressions.

However, after the two methods are combined, they are extremely disharmonious.

The third picture of a cow is obviously a cow, but it gives people a very poor sense and is very rough.

Merelson murmured, "It's a failure."

Li Jun nodded: "It's a failure, but what caused the failure, if you find out the result, you can make progress!"

"I kind of understand that the deformation process of the cow is Picasso's exploration of the expressiveness and authenticity of painting techniques."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Everyone can see that the third picture has failed. It combines exaggerated physical features and the characteristics of light, shadow and darkness at the same time. The third picture does not give people a good sense, so let's take a look at the fourth picture. picture."

The moment the fourth picture appeared on the screen, Merelson and Li Jun stood up again.

Picasso, progress, he found a way out! ! !

In the fourth picture, the cow is still the cow in the third picture, but Picasso divided the body of the cow into many different parts by using the method of partition.

Instead of depicting the details of a single part, Picasso replaced these parts with individual color blocks, and then pieced together a cow.

Then use the white dividing line to divide the black and black color blocks, and use the white dividing line as the link of the space to connect the color blocks closely.

In this way, the stitched cow has the integrity of the cow!
The only difference from the third picture is that the fourth cow has turned its head, from facing the front of the paper world to looking at the window from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional.

Draw the front face of the bull with a black color block and the back face of the bull with a white color block.

Cubism is about to take shape in this picture.

"This is the fourth picture. Picasso discovered that as long as he does not describe the details of a single part, replaces the concept of part with color blocks, puts the color blocks together, and maintains an exaggerated shape, he can show a cow. "

Lin Xuan didn't stop, the fifth picture appeared on the screen!
In the fifth drawing, Picasso continues to strengthen the physical signs, but he strengthens the physical characteristics rather than the characteristics of the bull.

Simply put, the bull's shoulders are higher, but his head is smaller.

Moreover, there are more color blocks on the face. In order to express the difference of each area, the black color blocks are decreasing and the white blank areas are increasing.

"The fifth attached bull, Picasso has keenly discovered the secret discovered by the ancient painters of the Dragon Kingdom more than 1000 years ago."

"That is, the descriptive sense brought by the space squeezed by the color blocks is not as real as the sense of thinking brought by the blank space."

"Blanking allows people to make up their brains, and the things made up by people's brains are more comfortable than the things directly drawn by artists."

"Painting is an art that brings the thinking in the brain to the real world and expresses it to others."

"Leaving blank is to let others think for themselves."

"When the purpose of the two is the same, the method of leaving blank space is higher!"

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Merelson became enlightened!

Lin Xuan didn't stop, and the sixth picture appeared on the screen.

The appearance of the sixth figure marks the complete establishment of Cubism! ! !

Merelson understood at a glance: "I understand."

"Although Picasso has been trying to break away from the influence of the light school, he actually described the light in the front and back of the legs, the front and back of the head, the bulge of the shoulders and the bulge of the abdomen."

"This time, Picasso used a more powerful method. He divided the cow into two directions: facing the paper and facing the paper from the central axis."

"Then use the black block to represent the face facing the paper, and the white block to represent the face away from the paper, flipping the structure on the other side."

"He wants to draw the three-dimensional shape of the cow without using light, and intends to make the cow come alive!!!"

Merelson finally understood.

Lin Xuan wasted so much talk.

Letting Merelson understand is tantamount to letting the Western painting circle understand.

That's right, Lin Xuan strangled the existence of abstract art, but directly grafted the imagery of Chinese painting to the end of painting art.

Although the essence of the development of earth and star painting art is the same.

However, the essence is like this, and the propaganda is like this, that is two different things.

In essence, the Americans are still warmongers, and now they are called the world police.

Lin Xuan: "In every previous picture of the bull, the tail of the bull rests on the body, with or without implying a three-dimensional effect."

"And now, from this one picture, the bull's tail hangs naturally."

"In order to completely eliminate the influence of the three-dimensional effect on himself, Picasso omitted the bull's head, but left the color blocks where the bull's eyes are located to express the head."

"However, this image also fails, because the bull's eye color block will be seen by visitors as a cow's head shrinking."

"And it's the color block of the bull's eyes on the back, which is seen as the shrinkage of the cow's face."

"So, the seventh attached picture appeared."

The characteristics of the bull in the seventh picture have been fully brought out.

Ox tail, shoulder, horns, organs that bulls have more than cows.

The remaining parts are all expressed in white blocks.

Then, Picasso adopted a technique similar to that of splashed ink landscapes, using the charcoal in the center to express the positive and negative directions.

"In order to avoid the bull's eyes being mistaken for the cow's head, Picasso outlined the cow's head with thin lines."

"However, there is also a huge hole in the seventh image."

"That is, after the cow's head appears, observers cannot see through the cow's head that it is a cow that has turned back."

"They'll think the patch on the back eye is the patch on the front face."

"Moreover, using two lines to express a corbel still makes use of the three-dimensional sense of painting rather than the three-dimensional sense of intention."

"So, the eighth picture came into being!"

In the eighth picture, there have been changes again, two changes.

One is a corbel represented by double lines, which becomes a corbel represented by one line, and the four legs are reduced from eight lines to six lines.

Why six lines?
Because the legs shown on the outside use two lines to show the triangular white block, while the legs on the back use a single line to show that it is a leg.

The eye color block cannot be left blank, and an extra eye is added.

After having eyes, the bull's head really turned around.

"If the road ahead is all right, then this eye will be the finishing touch..."

Speaking of this, Lin Xuan paused: "The finishing touch is an idiom and allusion about painting in the ancient Dragon Kingdom."

"A painter surnamed Zhang painted a mural in ancient times. The dragon is lifelike, but it has no eyes."

"Others asked him why he didn't draw eyes, and the artist surnamed Zhang said that if he painted eyes, the dragon would come back to life and fly away."

"Others didn't believe it, so the artist surnamed Zhang put his brush to the finishing touch. In an instant, dark clouds closed and heavy rain poured down. The dragon in the mural broke through the sky and the wall was destroyed."

"Dixinglongguo uses the finishing touch to describe the most important part of giving the soul to things."

"Picasso's finishing touch failed, so he continued on this road to the next level."

"The Ninth Bull!"

The ninth cow appeared on the picture, except for the testicles that marked the characteristics of the bull, the rest no longer had any color blocks.

This is very close to the painting art of line drawing.

Almost no color blocks, all left blank, Picasso wanted to show three-dimensional without drawing three-dimensional things.

Want to be characterized without portraying a lot of them.

Want to express light without depicting it.

Want to bring the cow to life without breaking off the plane.

"It failed again. After the bull lost its color characteristics, its originally very good eyes became dull."

"The tenth bull came into being!"

"Picasso again removed the bull's head, leaving only the eye-block lines and the eyes in the middle."

"The form of the corbel is removed and only lines are left; the form of the back, belly and shoulder is removed, and only the lines remain."

"Replace the shoulders, bull's head, and bull's ears connecting the torso to the head with a line segment."

Merelson was disappointed: "It failed, what a pity, this road won't work."

Lin Xuan: "I won't talk about it next, let's take a look at the attached picture of No.11."

Figure No.11 appeared.

The line isolation of the back, abdomen and shoulders of the cow all disappears.

The bull's eye color block lines disappear, and the neck lines disappear.

One coil shows the overall shape of the cow, four lines are the legs of the cow, and one line is the tail of the cow.

The two lines of the body are directly connected to the bull's eyes, and a U line is the horn.

This is the stick figure formed by keeping the characteristics of the cow after removing the light and color.

It was still recognizable as a cow, but it did not come to life.

From coming alive to dying.

It is obvious that he will come alive.

But died.

It proved that this way is not feasible.

However, Picasso has exhausted everything and tried everything.

Add light effects on the bull, add impressionist effects, add space effects, and add multi-faceted descriptions for three-dimensional effects.

Then cut out the unnecessary parts proved in the experiment little by little, leaving the key points that should be left.

However, it failed in the end.

This in itself is impossible to succeed, just like a Santana, some people lamented: the car is good, but the brand is too low.

Then the Santana logo was removed and replaced by a Mercedes-Benz.

Doesn't make it a Mercedes per se.

Lin Xuan smiled: "This is a picture that describes at least the direction of four painting schools."

"Realism, Luminism, Cubism, Abstraction."

"But no matter which genre it is, it cannot reach the artistic end of making the objects in the painting come alive."

"Stone sculpture can bring characters and animals to life, and Chinese painting can do it from another aspect."

"But if oil painting develops with the current faction, it will not come to an end."

"So, subtraction is not something that is completely removed and then something new is added."

"It should be an overall weakening and strengthening."

"So, I used five paintings to express the development process of the earth and star painting art to everyone."

"That is from realism to freehand brushwork."

"From freehand brushwork to intent."

"It's a proven process."

Merelson was dumbfounded: "So... If I want to go further in the painting method of the Light School, I can only learn the painting style of Chinese painting, and delete the strongest things of the Light School itself..."

"That's right! It's like this. After I have reached the limit, no one understands the Light School better than me."

"Since I can't even take the next step, it means that this road has been explored to the end, and the next step is not on this branch."

Merelson was excited: "The sixth, is the sixth the future of oil painting!!!"

"I want to see the future of oil painting!!!"

"The artists on Earth and Planet did it right!!!"

Lin Xuan smiled without saying a word.

Make a delta.

Under the oppression of capital, those Western painters on Earth and Planet have no idea that the history of the development of oil painting is the history of the fusion of world painting art.

Expect them to have a sudden epiphany in the middle of a splash of paint?

Unlike in China, the domestic public has received the influence of the complete development of painting art 800 years ago. Anyone who has the capital and dares to come up with the gimmick of a master of splashing ink and water will be sprayed to death.

Lin Xuan smiled: "In the sixth picture, Impressionism is an attempt to blend the colors of the Light School with the Imagery School."

"It's not an oil painting, but a traditional Chinese painting."

"Dragon Chinese painting? Long Chinese painting is also available!!!" Merelson was excited: "Art knows no borders, as long as there is a way out, what is the paint?!"

When Merelson said that art knows no borders, Lin Xuan had already succeeded.

The West especially likes to use XX to fool people regardless of national boundaries. Only magic can defeat magic.

"The sixth attached painting comes from a talented young man in the ancient Dragon Kingdom. He only left one official painting in his life."

"When his contemporary "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" was painted, Song Huizong, who was a great artist at the time and the emperor at the time, just glanced at it and praised that it was not bad."

"However, this "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was regarded as a treasure by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and was permanently treasured."

[Isn't it? "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" is at least the top three long-scroll works in the world's line drawing. The emperor just praised it, but "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is regarded as a treasure? 】

[I just want to know how awesome "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is. 】
