Chapter 983 The Greatest Work

"I would like to call it the greatest work in the field of oil painting in recent years!"

Before Luo Quan's live broadcast ended, such calls appeared on Zhihu.

Probably because her live painting performance was so shocking.

Everyone saw her sitting on a chair and painting for almost the whole noon. The final self-portrait was comparable to a photo, and she had witnessed its birth with her own eyes.

This feeling is much more interesting than simply appreciating a work of art, and the final feedback will be stronger.

However, as Luo Quan's self-portrait attracted more and more attention, doubts also followed.

First of all, the loudest people are questioning the fraud, because the people questioning it feel that this painting is too realistic, how could it be an oil painting?

To put it more bluntly, how could a person draw like this with a paintbrush?

To put it bluntly, even if there is someone in the world who can draw to this level, how could a singer in Luoquan achieve such a high level?

So it is obvious that she is using the photo to fool everyone. The photo on the canvas is simply a photo prepared in advance! It's not an oil painting.

Most of the people who say this are probably passers-by who have no understanding of the art of painting. They don't know that there is a school of painting called hyperrealism.

In fact, it is not an impossible task to draw Luo Quan. There are also some more powerful ones, which are to directly draw bubbles.

The foam composed of thousands of small bubbles contains details that are unimaginable to ordinary people, including the light and shadow in it, which is even more shockingly realistic.

If these people really saw such a painting, they would probably exclaim that it was a fake and a photo.

Luo Quan had already anticipated this, so after finishing the painting, he took a one-shot video.

The content of the video slowly moves from the front of the painting to the side, so that everyone can see the bumps and bumps of the brushstrokes on the painting, thus proving that it is an oil painting.

This video was released almost immediately following the questioning. After watching the video, many people chose to delete their previous remarks and admitted that they were a little louder before.

This was the first voice of doubt, which was loud but did not last long.

The second voice of doubt is more difficult to deal with, because many people are asking whether such realistic paintings can really be regarded as art?

For many people, when it comes to art, especially the art of painting, they probably think of paintings that are full of classical flavor like Mona Lisa, or paintings that are so abstract that they are completely incomprehensible like Picasso.

One is noble and the other is high-end, completely in line with people’s impression of art.

As for Luo Quan, there is no threshold for appreciation. Children even think it looks good after seeing it.

But it lacks the sense of mystery and high-end that art should have. I always feel that it is too easy to understand, and there is no essential difference from the sketches on the street that cost ten yuan a piece.

The difference between art and sketching is that art is a sudden appearance of inspiration and a swan song that cannot be copied.

And sketches can be copied and even mass-produced.

Of course, Luo Quan's self-portrait is not as cheap as a street sketch, so it is not unusual to sell it for hundreds of thousands or even millions of times more than ten yuan.

But no matter how high the price is, it does not mean that her works have the connotation of works of art.

The above are all opinions put forward by doubters, which seem to be quite reasonable, but they are full of a certain group's contempt and sense of superiority towards the general public.

In the music circle, Luo Quan has always been committed to eliminating this sense of superiority and making everyone realize that music has technical highs and lows, but there is no nobility in genre.

This does not mean that listening to classical music is nobler than listening to modern pop music. Everyone has the right to pursue their own preferences.

Therefore, her works have always been mainly for the appreciation of both refined and popular tastes.

But she didn't expect that she would encounter similar problems after entering the painting circle.

To this end, she wrote a long article in response:

“A lot of people are asking what is art?

Many people deny the branch forms of art.

When the boundaries are blurred, art becomes the private property of some people.

It's as if art was born for the wealthy and aristocratic. Those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths can talk about it, but the lower-class people are completely unworthy of talking about this topic.

I believe these "born nobles" probably sneered in their hearts when they saw the relevant questions and answers. What do you old haters know about art?

Some even not only think in their hearts, but also mock them out loud.

When faced with doubts, he immediately pulled out a lot of foreign place and person names such as Paris, Florence, Leonardo da Vinci, and Picasso to show his superiority.

But what I want to say is that these place names cannot support the sense of superiority you have.

Your sense of superiority only comes from your low quality and has no other reasons.

Let’s get back to the topic, what is art?

I feel that science is proving how great the universe is, and art is proving how great human beings are.

It is a broad term, and all things created by humans that reach the extreme can be called art.

If you only define it as high-end, niche, and obscure, it is completely putting the cart before the horse.

Real art must be understood by the public. Even if this understanding may be late, it will never be absent.

In fact, the two Chinese characters for art have already told everyone the meaning of the words they form.

It is skills, and art means reaching a professional level. When a skill reaches a very high professional level, it can be called art.

Just like the self-portrait I drew today, if you say it is no different from street sketching, it is actually nonsense.

Whether it is a street sketch or a masterpiece, it is all painting. As long as it reaches a certain level, it can be called art.

As for this hyper-realistic painting, anyone with eyes at any level can see it. If you insist that it is not art, then I can only say that you are right.

As for why, I believe fans who often watch my live broadcasts will understand.

above. "

………………

Over the past year, Luo Quan has rarely published long articles.

The last time I posted a long article was when I graduated from college. I wrote an article to thank the school, teachers and classmates, and at the same time, I also thanked the fans.

When she posted this long article, on the one hand, she wanted to rectify her work, and on the other hand, she also thought about whether she could use this opportunity to change the public's view of art.

Now that the authorities have begun to put a lot of effort into this industry, there will definitely be a lot of artistic talents emerging in the future.

And for this future to arrive this morning, it is very important to change the general environment.

If this long article can bring about a slight change in the general environment, then it will not be in vain that I have spent so much pen and ink, and it can be regarded as fulfilling its mission.

However, after the article was published, the first people who were excited were the fans, because it had been a long time since they had seen Luo Quan criticizing someone, especially using such a long article citing classics.

Every time they see this kind of article, they will feel very interested, and this time is no exception:

"These people are already like this, so let's just obey them. After all, this is terminal cancer."

"Haha, Luo Quan still doesn't say bad words as always when he scolds people."

"Whether it is in the field of music or painting, Luo Bao has always thought about how to achieve both elegance and vulgarity. Unfortunately, some people are like diodes and feel that elegance and vulgarity cannot coexist. They even use elegance to despise vulgarity. Little do they know that such behavior is the real It’s vulgar in a sense.”

"Luo Quan's words are very good. Science proves how great the universe is, and art proves how great human beings are. Aren't works of art created by great human beings? They are all great human beings, so what is the difference between elegance and harmony? Is it vulgar?"

"Actually, these people just want to use this opportunity to show their barren inner world and enhance their sense of existence."

"To the point."

………………

This time, fans’ comments were much more serious than in the past.

Before she went to Zhihu, the comment section of most of the answers would gradually change to an LSP meeting. The atmosphere was not serious at all, and everyone was making jokes and having fun.

But this time it was so harmonious, everyone was discussing relevant topics seriously, and they were also helping her speak.

For Luo Quan, such a situation is rare. As expected, only after there are external enemies can the internal unity become more united.

Through Luo Quan's arguments, the two controversies faced by the self-portrait titled "Luo Quan" were finally resolved.

After it became a hot search topic, the first thing it received was the admiration from netizens.

Most people basically only know the most famous oil paintings and have some idea of ​​them.

But I had never seen such a realistic oil painting before. After confirming that it was not a photo, I was immediately shocked by Luo Quan's otherworldly painting skills.

Countless people in the industry were also shocked.

A layman can watch the fun, and an expert can watch the door. Only professionals like them can know the difficulties of painting like this.

Without decades of hard work, the pen tip would not be able to fill the canvas with inspiration.

Without a long period of inspiration, I would not have been able to paint such a spiritual work.

When they learned that it only took Luo Quan five hours to paint it, the painters' first reaction was that these people were joking.

Five hours? You may not be able to finish the painting in five weeks!

How could a human being be so awesome? Even if she was the famous Luo Quan, she couldn't break away from the basics. No matter how divine her skills were, she still had to follow a logic!

But when these people watched the video of Luo Quan painting live, they all became emo.

At least half of the painters feel that they spent the first half of their lives living like dogs.

Look at this little girl, she has become a leader in many fields in her early twenties, whether it is music or oil painting, as long as she is willing to show it, she will be at the top level.

But while they were still thinking hard about how to put pen to paper for a certain area, Luo Quan severely criticized the so-called slow work and careful work with a single stroke of brushstrokes.

Being able to become painters, they were all called geniuses when they were young.

But after facing Luo Quan, they finally understood the mood of the peers around them when they were young.

Envy, jealousy, longing and disbelief.

Peers of the same age when they were young may not necessarily have incredible feelings, but they definitely felt incredible towards Luo Quan.

This girl is refreshing their knowledge again and again. It is said that she can not only be super-realistic, but also impressionistic.

If this is the case, then it is estimated that the Chinese art major will have to add one more person's name to the textbooks in the future, and write a special book about this person.

However, Luo Quan doesn't have any premonitions about this matter yet, as she is busy dealing with fans' requests.

Today I painted a "masterpiece" that deserves to be celebrated, so fans want Luo Quan to take this opportunity to sing a new song that fits the occasion to make the atmosphere even more lively.

It sounds like it's for the atmosphere, but actually I just want to listen to new songs, so I borrowed this name.

However, Luo Quan himself also felt that it could be summed up with a song, so he already had a plan in mind.

However, she certainly couldn't readily agree immediately.

Her mother often told her that girls should be reserved. If boys get what they want easily, they will definitely not be cherished.

Hang him, drag him, make things difficult for him, make him beg again and again, and then reluctantly agree. Only in this way can a man understand how hard-earned he is and how much he will cherish it.

But at the same time, you can't refuse too decisively, you must leave some hope.

Because when men see no hope, they will choose to stop losses in time, which can easily be self-defeating.

Therefore, taking a long-term view, catching big fish is a profound knowledge, and it is very difficult to master it.

These words were passed down from my mother’s mother, that is, my grandmother, and my grandmother passed them down from her mother.

Mom passed these two to her as life treasures. Luo Quan remembered them in his heart and wanted to complain at the same time.

Because when my mother was getting along with my father, she didn't show any restraint as a girl.

Of course, these are no longer important to my mother.

Now that he has become the successor, he must make good use of it.

And Luo Quan’s first target audience is these fans.

Although she was ready to sing a new song for everyone, she refused because she was too exhausted after painting all day.

Fans were certainly not satisfied when they heard the rejection, so they immediately started begging.

Luo Quan looked hesitant and embarrassed. He didn't say I just wouldn't do it, but he was quite reluctant.

The fat fans saw the light and felt they could conquer it, so they stepped up their efforts.

So after saying countless good things in succession, Luo Quan finally nodded and said that he would bring you a new song "The Greatest Work" tomorrow.

It's obviously Luo Quan who is trying to catch her, but the fans will still thank her after she succeeds.

It seems that this trick is indeed quite effective. It is indeed a treasure passed down from our ancestors. It is indeed very useful.
