Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

On Wednesday evening, Jiang Zhe was in the studio and saw the first article criticizing him.

“What are these abstract works depicting?”

Although it was criticism of himself, Jiang Zhe read it with great interest. He especially felt that the titles of these articles were a bit like later self-media articles. Could it be that these people also participated in self-media creation in the future?

"As early as 1877, there were people who were just as confused as everyone else and questioned similar avant-garde works at the time. John Ruskin, a famous art critic in London, made such an evaluation of Whistler's paintings in a magazine. This controversy revealed an important significance of art.

Art is the expression of personal emotion, intelligence and will. In other words, when the viewer stands in front of the work, he sees not only the form of the picture, but also the embodiment of the artist's emotions and thoughts...

Realistic art aims to truly reproduce the objective world. While the invention of photography in the 19th century helped artists broaden their horizons, it also gradually made artists understand their mission, which was not to try their best to reproduce the objective world or simply imitate it...."

This article is very short, and it only mentions Jiang Zhe in a teasing tone.

“As a young artist, you should strive to broaden your horizons instead of being complacent.”

After reading this comment, Jiang Zhe was not angry, but smiled instead.

This is a critic in the circle. Although he criticized himself, he also helped himself to become famous. Isn't there a saying in the entertainment circle? Black and red are also red.

These newspaper articles should be kept well.

My cell phone beeped, and when I saw it was Sister Liao’s number, I pressed the answer button.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "I miss you."

"Go away! You still have the mind to make a joke." Sister Liao scolded with a smile, but she felt relieved when she heard that Jiang Zhe was in a good mood.

"How do you feel after reading the critical article?"

"I want to thank him for thinking highly of me."

Sister Liao said, "Don't worry. I think there will be other reactions later. No matter what happens, you have to stay calm and don't panic."

She made several guesses. The first was that this was definitely not a coincidence and someone must be behind it. The second was that many people might see the opportunity and get involved.

“We need to control this matter as much as possible.

I heard from several friends that some people suggested that you should not participate in the Biennale, and some people said that this kind of debate is not in line with the current situation and suggested that all these articles be removed. "

"When will it be implemented?" Jiang Zhe asked.

Sister Liao said, "It's just a rumor now. But don't be careless. Observe for a day tomorrow. If the situation is not good, you can go to the capital tomorrow evening and try to eliminate this negative impact as much as possible."

The two chatted for a long time. Not long after the call ended, Wang Zhen called again.

The exhaustion in her voice was more evident.

“I contacted more than a dozen friends today, and many of them also said they would support you or try to mediate.

But there are also many people who don't want to participate.

Through the auction house, I also contacted the American painter, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would develop to this point.”

Jiang Zhe said: "It's all my fault, I don't blame you."

"But there is good news."

"What?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"Both auction houses hope that this matter can develop in a positive direction, to raise your fame and further increase the popularity of the autumn auction."

The two discussed for a long time.

Thursday morning.

Jiang Zhe is working in the studio.

The teacher in charge of the sketching course came in and walked around, pointing out the works of many students. When he passed by Jiang Zhe, he looked at him and hesitated to speak.

Jiang Zhe stood up and said, "Teacher, do you think there is anything wrong with my painting?" "Painting, there is nothing wrong. Come out with me for a moment."

Jiang Zhe put down his pencil and followed the teacher out of the studio.

Many students saw this scene and discussed it quietly.

Today, they heard a rumor that Jiang Zhe said some inappropriate words in the capital and was being criticized.

The teacher's reaction made the students feel that the rumor might not be groundless.

"I heard about it. If it's true, you should think of a solution as soon as possible." The teacher did not criticize Jiang Zhe, but gave him advice instead.

"Don't stay in the studio at this time. Go find Professor Qin and ask him what to do."

If I remain indifferent to the teacher's suggestions, it would seem that I am not receptive to good advice.

Jiang Zhe had no choice but to go out for a walk, and just as he walked downstairs, he saw a text message from Professor Qin, asking him to go to the office during his break.

He went straight to Professor Qin's office.

Professor Qin didn't ask him why he came here at this time.

"How is it? Have you read the article? More than a dozen friends called me today. Some said hello, while others said that students like you are too impetuous and asked me to be careful.

What do you think now? "

Jiang Zhe said: "I followed the publicity plan, but there was a small problem in the middle. I will make up for it as soon as possible."

Although he said so, he was very confident in his heart that the system had not given any prompts yet, so there was no need to panic.

Professor Qin was originally worried about whether Jiang Zhe could hold on, but he was very relieved to see Jiang Zhe's reaction.

"You, don't be careless. What does the gallery say?"

Jiang Zhe briefly stated Wang Zhen’s suggestions.

"Don't wait for us. Go to the capital as soon as possible. Leave today. Find the source of the problem and eliminate the impact as soon as possible.

I would also call some friends and ask them to find ways to help. However, most of them are not in key positions, so what they can do is limited. The key still depends on the galleries and auction companies.

I'll ask for leave for you. Keep in touch if you have any questions. "

With Professor Qin's help, Jiang Zhe boarded a flight to the capital that afternoon.

At 5 pm, Jiang Zhe came to the capital again.

Wang Zhen was really busy, so he took a car to the hotel where he was staying.

Just after 6:00 in the evening, Meng Xi brought Jiang Zhe some newspapers.

Jiang Zhe had a few newspapers he had just bought next to him.

“In the 20th century, as the rapid development of industrialization brought great changes to people’s lives, artists no longer simply depicted an object visually, but began to explore what was beneath its surface…

“Artists constantly break through their own boundaries and penetrate into the invisible depths, and what is presented in the painters’ pens are objective things that have been torn into pieces and reorganized.

Most people who do not understand abstract art or other avant-garde art think that it is just a painter scribbling, but this is not the case. In the expression of abstract art, any element can participate in the creation of the meaning of the picture and the construction of the overall meaning of the work, including lines, colors, brushstrokes and other formal elements, each of which has its own unique connotation..."

“Artists can create works based on a purer consciousness, while viewers can interpret the works in a unique way based on their own aesthetics…”

"The famous artist Rothko once said that he hoped that viewers standing in front of his works would not understand the color form superficially, but try to resonate with emotions and return to the most authentic human experience..."

Jiang Zhe saw that some people's articles discussed avant-garde art, and many people criticized his views implicitly. Of course, there were also very direct criticisms.

For most of the day, instead of cooling down, more people joined the discussion.

Meng Xi said: "Mr. Wang is almost going crazy with work. I heard that the two auction companies are also a little worried. I didn't expect things to change so quickly."

Seeing Jiang Zhe reading the article word by word, she asked, "Why don't you react?"

Jiang Zhe calmly put down the newspaper and said, "Are you hungry? Eat first." (End of this chapter)
