Almighty painter

Chapter 303 Burning Painting (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Messy tones pile up into a messy mood.

The atmosphere in the drawing quickly turned gloomy, and a melancholy atmosphere filled the entire room.

Expressing tragedy is an eternal aesthetic theme in works of art.

The indelible sadness between life and death is the most soul-shaking scene in this theme.

Anya frowned in pain.

A senior Impressionist once said this to a female artist.

When a painter pours his passion for art onto the canvas, the audience will easily feel your excitement.

The more enthusiastic the painter's brushstrokes, the more pleasant the viewer's perception of the painting will be.

The only exception is tragedy.

Creating tragedy is a form of masochistic self-torture.

The so-called charm of tragedy is to break the most exquisite porcelain and show it to others.

It is a broken fragment of a Jun kiln that "has broken after the rain, and the clouds have broken the sky." Every bit as thin as paper and every bit as clear as jade makes the audience who hold it feel the ruthlessness of fate.

Deep sadness is like a thick fog like black disease, dangerous and highly corrosive.

They not only destroy the good mood of the audience reading the drawings, but also destroy the creators themselves.Because the painter is always the first audience of his work.

So that senior chose to be a pure impressionist landscape painter after he was 40 years old.

He never created another work with a dark tone, or even participated in any painting exhibition with tragic elements.

The senior said that he had compiled an interesting statistic: Impressionism is the longest-lived painting school in North America and Europe today.

It’s not longevity in the history of painting, but longevity in a biological sense.

Monet lived to be 86, Degas lived to be 83, and Renoir was 85.There are quite a few famous Impressionists alive today who are close to [-] years old.

Instead of painting melancholy death tones of decadence, depression, loneliness, and hesitation, and often painting "Island of Death" and "Death of an Angel", three, Symbolist painters who died at the age of 40 can There are many sluts.

After all, the former is an aesthetic that depicts sunshine, while the latter is an aesthetic that depicts sadness.

Doing this kind of work and feeling happy, healthy and upbeat every day means that the painter is not good enough and cannot even impress himself.

Excellent enough.

It’s easy to paint yourself to death while painting.

This is of course just a playful quip.

But if the Amy cats in the previous detective cat drawings were all cute and fun, Ms. Anya would secrete estrogen and have the urge to raise a cub to play with.

The moment they looked at Amy's dull gray eyes on this drawing.

She was choked by the oppressive and deep breath that flowed along the painting.

Only now did the female artist realize the joy of motherhood.

After a few minutes.

Anya began to empathize with a cat, stepping into Amy's perspective and feeling the sadness of a mother-like cat saying goodbye to the child she grew up with.

The female artist turned her head and closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Amy in the drawing anymore.

She imagined the scene and mood Detective Cat must have had when he drew this sketch.

It must be drizzling outside the window, and the iron-gray sky looks like a clip from an old black-and-white movie. A middle-aged woman sitting in the shadows, whose skin color cannot be distinguished, is silently applying paint to the canvas with a painting knife. On the video screen on the side, a cat and her baby are saying goodbye.

The air was filled with ghostly sadness that was so suppressed that it couldn't be resolved.

like substance.

Had the detective cat lady experienced the same thing, so that she could express a cat's mood so unforgettablely?
There was a cry in the living room.

Tony was still suppressing sobs at first, but soon the soft sobs turned into howling cries.

Tears were streaming down his face, making his clothes wet.

Detective Cat's drawings brought Tony back to that cruel night of farewell 21 years ago.

Tony reached out and tried to take the cat away from the screen.

The palm of his hand caught a ripple-like water wave on the TV.

The display screen seemed like a lake that separated virtuality and reality, coldly cutting open his fingers that wanted to transcend time.

It tells Tony,
That was a past he could never return to.

"Ugh."

Jane Arnold knew this was the result, and he pulled Tony back from the screen.

Detective Cat's drawings can penetrate his son's heart, but it's probably not a good thing for Tony to experience such a sad thing again.

He turned to look at Dr. Jin with questioning eyes.

Seeing that Dr. Jin Anqing had no intention of stopping him, he asked softly: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, a total of 27 drawings were sent, and this is No. 19."

The assistant nodded.

"Then go on."

"Eight more?" Professor Boggs suddenly became interested.

These nineteen works have summarized all the past events of Amy and Tony.

The remaining eight pictures should all be works of Detective Cat's imagination?

It seems that Detective Cat has not let himself go to the point of hopelessness, and he also has his own unique creative ideas.

No matter how great the design is, it will never be as sublime as its own "reincarnation" art theme.

But something is better than nothing.

This shows that the illustrator's professional "bad habit" of giving up thinking and drawing what the employer wants has not infected her too deeply.

"Is it also half reality and half virtual?"

Professor Boggs stroked his beard.

He said in a tone that seemed to be giving lessons to the female painter on the other side of the ocean: "The focus of this idea is not on the first half of the work, but on the second half. Pain is just the process, and understanding is the key."

"The painter should not only allow Tony to sink into the memories of the old world created by the work, but also allow him to escape from pain and enter the painter's virtual world view."

"So the key is - what you go in can also come out. Judging from this theme, there is no need to draw separate works in this pet hospital."

Professor Boggs pointed out from a high position: "First of all, this will always remind Tony that he has been separated from his cat. Secondly, the sadness is too strong and cannot be thrown away. On the contrary, it will affect the artist's future work." Narrative. This separate scene is extremely penetrating, but it destroys the overall emotional continuity of the painting.”

"The so-called gain outweighs the loss, that's it."

In his "Amy", between the six paintings of "This World" and "Reincarnation", he gave up inserting the scene of the pet hospital in the middle, which was obviously the scene that impressed Tony the most.

It's not that Professor Boggs doesn't have the confidence to paint this heavy subject, but that he has already thought about it carefully.

Even though emotional stimulation is a good thing.

If this painting is added, when Tony realizes the cat's reincarnation, he will always have the sadness that he has separated from Amy.

Then it is better not to draw.

"When emotions are too heavy, they become a burden on life. This is especially true for a child who will not grow up."

Anya nodded deeply.The emotions condensed in this drawing made her breathless.

Not to mention Tony himself?
"She's still young and doesn't have enough experience. If I were her, the way it's handled here would be... FUCK."

Professor Boggs was only halfway through his suggestion when he suddenly got stuck in his mouth.

I'm going!

What did he see?
Professor Boggs rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the new drawing that the assistant switched to on the screen.

He suddenly became stupid.

It was an orange light.

Many works have theme colors.

Impressionist paintings tend to use a large number of bright and warm monochrome colors, while the Pre-Raphaelites often use blue, purple and green tones to create a sad and quiet artistic conception.Professor Boggs' "Amy" uses a lot of black and white and different formulas of high-grade gray.

The theme of the painting in front of me is a patch of red orange.

The cadmium color, similar to the one on the walls of the pet ward, filled the entire screen as if it were free of charge.

These short lines of alternating warm and cold colors are densely knitted together on the screen.

Hundreds of shorter lines are like moving and elegant sparks, while longer and more elegant spiral blades are intertwined together, like cat hair entangled in tongues of fire.

The entire painting is lit up by millions of small lamp beads, like a rhythmic flame.

"No, wrong."

Professor Boggs gasped.

It's not "like" a rhythmic flame.

Detective Cat draws a ball of flame on the screen, and the flames seem to condense into the shape of a cat on the screen.

The flame in the center is the brightest, orange and almost red.

The important advantage of the MINI-LED light panel display is that it can provide a maximum brightness of close to 1500 nits of luminous flux per unit area.

In human terms it is.

Even brighter than some low-wattage incandescent lamps.

The detective cat seemed to draw a sun in the center of the picture, which made Professor Boggs narrow his eyes slightly.

At the edge of the picture, the flames gradually extinguished, the color temperature changed from hot to cold, and the light turned from purple, forming a small dark and anxious color strip.

This……

Professor Boggs's eyes were as wide as bells.

That's half a burnt and curled cat tail!

Detective Cat seems to be afraid that the theme he represents is not obvious enough.

He also very "considerately" signed a name at the bottom of the drawing.

Among the current set of drawings, the only painting named by the artist is...

"C, R, E, M, A, T, O, R"

Ms. Anya spelled the word in her mind letter by letter, and she even begged in her mind that she had spelled it wrong.

She must know that word.

But in this scene, those eight letters read like a hell of a joke.

"Cremator"

"The crematorium." - The joke was not funny at all. Instead, the audience only felt a deep chill.

When the assistant saw Professor Boggs's "Amy", the first artist that came to mind was Picasso.

It's darkly humorous.

When the female artist saw this painting of Detective Cat, the key words that came to her mind were also Picasso's works.

Picasso's early career works are often bound to the element of "blue pigment".

The melancholy blue of the sea is the most commonly used theme color of this three-dimensional master.

When he was young, a painter friend who often visited prostitutes with him suddenly pulled out a revolver in a bar with blue decoration.

First he shot his girlfriend in the head, and then he shot himself in the head.

When he committed suicide, he planned to take his girlfriend to die with him without saying hello. Of course, he was a scumbag.

But the death of his best friend and depression also infected Picasso's painting style.

This tragedy dealt a heavy blow to Picasso's soul.He began to think that blue was a sad color leading to hell.

It just so happens that this color represents hell in Egyptian tradition, symbolizing death.

So from then on, Picasso often filled his canvases with bitter blue paint, binding various themes that gave people spiritual pressure.

It formed the very famous "Blue Style Period" in the history of art. This period of Bi's creative experience will also be called the "Blue Melancholy Period" or "Blue Sad Period" by academic circles.

The burning cadmium orange under Detective Cat's oil painting knife is just like the melancholy and sad blue of the sea in Picasso's paintings.

The burning flames on the drawing are paired with Amy's blackened tail.

Not only is it completely unable to convey any light or heat into the audience's soul, but it is as cold as standing in the heavy snow in the sky, soaked by sadness.

The crying in the ears echoed everyone's deep mood.

Tony wasn't crying anymore, he was howling like an angry cat.

In adult society, even crying is depressing.

Tony cried like a child, crying like an animal.

The unscrupulous hysterical crying was like a loud loudspeaker, echoing in the living room.

A good family environment, a material life surrounded by servants, plus the impact of autism.

At the age of 41, Jean Tony is still cared for like a child.

Professor Boggs, who has poor emotional intelligence, will only replace the fact that Amy is dead with a look that everyone understands when he mentions Amy in front of Tony.

Who would have the heart to tear the bloody and cruel facts to this child to see!
Detective Cat did exactly that.

Not only did she do this, but she also fucking opened the door for Li Ke, and even drew a picture of Amy being burnt to coke in the stove.

The better the detective cat draws, the deeper it stimulates Tony.

Tony was scratching the expensive display screen of the TV with his fingertips like a cat scratching a blackboard. His fingertips rubbed against the screen, making a squeaking sound.

Female artists don’t doubt it.

If what was inside the TV was really a burning fire, Tony would have jumped on it and lifted his cat out of the flames without a care in the world.

Anya admired Detective Cat's painting skills again, but at this time, she also felt a trace of anger towards the painter in her heart.

That detective cat, doesn’t she have a heart, doesn’t she feel heartbroken!

In their hearts, female artists regard Detective Cat as the same person as Picasso, the same talented person, the same scumbag with character flaws.

"This guy might have an antisocial personality."

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day to everyone!
