Obscure and well-known are antonyms, but interestingly, they often appear in the same person and do not surprise people. Just like, a few years ago in China, a girl holding a clay pot oil painting, the number of printing times up to millions of times "Tao", if I don't tell you that its author is Xie Chuyu, I believe not many people know.
There are too many painters who paint red people who are not red, and many of their works are almost known to everyone, but they know nothing about the creator, and even the name of the painting is not clear. The oil painting "Mountain of Dreams" is such an obscure work that has spread all over the world.
"Mountain of Dreams" this work, Xiao Dai's estimated number of displays can reach more than 10 billion, from ancient times to the present, in the painting art works, can be ranked in the top three, and even, simply in terms of the amount of display to calculate, this painting is very likely to be the first place, because this painting is the title of the famous film and television company Paramount, every time Paramount's film is played, the audience can see this oil painting. I believe many people have already guessed that this painting is the mountain peak that we are familiar with, covered with snow.
Founded in 1914, Paramount has been producing a large number of wonderful films such as The Godfather, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Forrest Gump and Transformers. Originally, Paramount's opening was a relatively simple stick figure of a mountain peak. It wasn't until 1987 that the opening film became what Xiao Dai called "The Mountain of Dreams", an oil painting depicting a snow-covered mountain with blue skies echoing the lake, and at first glance the painting looks like a landscape photograph, or a computer-generated image, but is actually a real oil painting.
The artist named Dalio, who was commissioned by Paramount in 1986 to create this oil painting that was repeated with the release of one film after another, was used for 15 years from the completion of the painting to 2002, and the computer composite images that followed were also used by Dario. Considering that the painting would be used as a title for Paramount, Dalio, far from being signed, was even completely invisible, and it was not until 2012, when he reviewed the work, that people learned that there was such a painting, and the creator was None other than Dalio.
Born in 1948, Dalio was very fond of painting at a very young age, began to contact oil painting creation at the age of 14, and continued to work on art-related creations in the subsequent study and work, until he accepted Paramount's order to create this classic oil painting.
Although Dario had some reputation, he was not a well-known painter, even though he was invited by the surrealist painter Dalí to paint such a painting. In order to make money, Dalio paints everything, realistic, abstract, surreal, surreal, and subjects such as figures, still lifes, landscapes, and animals are not to mention. Although his involvement is very extensive, it is not prominent in every field, and eventually annihilates in the sea of people.
Painting the opening oil for Paramount is a blessing and an equally unfortunate one. Fortunately, the work has been shown an unimaginable number of times around the world, and unfortunately, this honor does not belong to the creators themselves.
