Chapter 329 Warm and rough. [Ask for tickets, there may be more updates next month]

Going on, Zhang Feng came to "Two Women on the Beach", which is the work of Gauguin. Gauguin (1848-1903), known as the "primitive madman", showed his artistic tendency towards the civilization of the times. Deviated, he escaped the life of modern civilization like avoiding a hidden reef, and with stylized art, he had a huge influence on the production of modern art, especially Fauvism.In order to escape the intrusion of the civilized world and seek a new, more primitive, more authentic and more sincere way of life, Gauguin wandered all over the world. He abandoned his family, children and work, refused to accept easy honors and gains, and lived for a long time. He lived in Tahiti, a small Pacific island far away from human habitation, until his death.

On the island of Tahiti, Gauguin discovered unpolluted natural colors and primitive and simple art. Therefore, Gauguin painted this plain form and strong color into his paintings with absolute seriousness. middle.This work was created not long after he came to Tahiti.Gauguin's unique painting method benefited from the inspiration of Japanese ukiyo-e.

Specifically, it expresses the generalized and simplified form with flat color surfaces, strong outlines and subjective, rich and sad colors, showing a strong personality.He always likes to use the contrast of dark green and orange, plus brown green, light yellow and black.This color preference comes from, on the one hand, his feelings about the life of the natives, and on the other hand, it is also because he deliberately pursues warm and rough beauty.

However, Zhang Feng doesn't like it. This style always feels short of something that touches his soul. Of course, it's just him. Some things, especially profound works of art, need Bole.

Gauguin was a persistent lunatic, a lunatic who liked self-portraits and painting sunflowers.He was impoverished during his lifetime, and after his death, every painting can be sold for sky-high prices.Moreover, his works were not appreciated by others back then, but now he has almost become a well-known master.The world is just so snobby and so boring.

Perhaps because he didn’t like it, Zhang Feng took a brief look, and came to another famous painting by Qian, “The Church in Arles”, which was created by Van Gogh in the village of Arles in June 1890. It is a late work of Van Gogh .

After Van Gogh left the Saint-Rémy Psychiatric Hospital, he spent a period of peaceful and fantasy years here, but then fell into extreme pain and madness.From his thick and distorted strokes and the thick colors used, it can be seen that he has a very strong, almost crazy sense of drama in his heart.

In Van Gogh's eyes, the sky is not quiet and clear, but seems to be driven by some strange celestial force; in the picture, the long branches of the cypress trees seem to be distorted flames, and the sun looks like it will explode at any time.The painting shows Van Gogh's pessimistic understanding of life.In Van Gogh's works, all people and things are full of violence and despair, and Van Gogh distorts and deforms everything—the above is from Baidu.But I don't think these are distorted. In the painter's eyes, the church looks like this.In fact, this painting is not so desperate, and the colors are still very bright and lively.

Symbolism is a literary trend of thought that started in literature at the end of the 19th century and later influenced the fields of art and music.Symbolism in literature has manifestos and theories, while symbolism in art is nothing more than an artistic tendency.Symbolist artists opposed the objective depiction of nature by realism and impressionism, emphasizing the expression of subjective spirit.They believe that people's inner world is unclear and difficult to grasp. They can only use symbolic techniques to metaphor themes and emotions with allegorical and symbolic but concrete and sensible images, suggesting subtle and mysterious inner worlds. Looking for the corresponding relationship between external things and the inner world through images, with the color of mysticism.

Symbolism reflected a tendency to seek inspiration and enlightenment from the mysterious spiritual world instead of facing reality at that time.Its philosophical roots come from the theories of Nietzsche, Bergson and others.Bergson believes that the essence of art lies in revealing its essential "reality" through the external curtain.To penetrate the superficial things can only rely on detachment from nature, and this detachment depends on the senses and the structure of consciousness.Therefore, in the creation of symbolists, the description of subjective spirit is often the core.However, they have not yet found a method suitable for expressing their artistic concepts, so they still use figurative and realistic methods.

The most regrettable thing about the Louvre is that the place where the Goddess of Victory is located is closed due to renovations. Leave a reason to come back next time.

In the evening, Zhang Feng rushed to the Eiffel Tower, one of the landmarks of "Take a Tour", on the way to watch the sunset and turn on the lights.

Zhang Feng came to the front of the platform of Chayue Palace to watch the Eiffel Tower.

This ultra-modern building built in 1889 was regarded as an iron monster of a black hill at the time, but it has become a worldwide landmark now.

Zhang Feng sat under the pagoda for several hours, just to watch the lights, and then the lights would flash on every hour. Seeing this famous landmark that he always saw on the calendar when he was a child was right in front of him, Zhang Feng felt very dreamy . .

Paris is a city with a strong artistic atmosphere that needs to be savored carefully. Zhang Feng refuses to just sit here for a few hours, and he feels that something is much more in his heart.

Zhang Feng's lunch went straight to Mariage freres recommended by friends. Founded in 1854, it is a representative of the famous French tea culture in Paris. It brings together famous teas from all over the world. It can be concluded that because of the good reputation, the diners are full, his tea shop is very distinctive, the whole shop is antique, retaining the atmosphere of the 19th century, and you can taste all kinds of famous tea.

Restaurant: Mariage freres
Address: 30 Rue du Bourg Tibourg, 75004
Per capita: 32 euros

The restaurant is not big, divided into upper and lower floors. When Zhang Feng arrived, the first floor was already full. The waiter led Zhang Feng directly to the second floor. It was a very small space, but it felt very warm.

What surprised Zhang Feng even more is that their tableware has its own characteristics. The dishes are made of tea, so the taste is lighter, but vegetarian, and the presentation is really beautiful. Zhang Feng, who rarely takes food pictures, even raised his camera several.

Zhang Feng took a picture from top to bottom. Zhang Feng felt that it was not enough, so he went downstairs and asked if he could take pictures on the first floor, but was rejected, probably because he was afraid of disturbing other guests.

Zhang Feng's main dish, chicken, is relatively poor in quality, but Zhang Feng thought that it is difficult to eat chicken in France. The vegetables on the side of the laugh are delicious, which is a compensation.

After eating salmon smoked with green tea, Zhang Feng felt that he couldn't taste the tea.
