What kind of love does a painter need?

Amorous or abusive? The painter's life

Common sense speaks

Artists are rich in feelings, and their works are infectious and easy to attract people's hearts to the past. In fact, this is just one of the reasons. Artists who can be called masters have certain talents and achievements. And the work is the only proof that the artist has only become a family. The work is precisely a spiritual product, which is extremely encouraging and infectious, even inspiring, and even inspiring to people.

Picasso had more than a hundred lovers in his life, and the genius Dalí had perfect love and same-sex passion... What kind of love does a painter need? When the heartbeat follows the paintbrush, are women still victims of the artists' art altar?......

In the course of his 92-year life, Picasso completed more than 30,000 works, including paintings, sculptures and prints. He created a large number of autobiographical self-portraits, while pulling his wife, lover, children and friends into the work.

He has had an unusually complex emotional experience, having 7 wives or lovers. When talking about Picasso's art, his emotional world cannot be bypassed, not only because people are curious and gossiped about the private life of the master of art, but also because every burst of feelings is accompanied by the transformation of Picasso's artistic style.

In 1983, when former French President Mitterrand visited China, he brought 25 Picasso works to Chinese mainland. In the next 28 years, Chinese mainland audience never had the opportunity to systematically understand Picasso's creative style throughout his life.

From October 18, 2011 to January 10, 2012, 62 original Picasso works and 50 life photos from the National Picasso Museum in France were exhibited at the China Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo, the largest Picasso exhibition in Chinese mainland. When admiring these works, the emotional experience of the master is a coherent and vivid clue.

Early works revealed signs of "love and holiness"

Two Sisters

Picasso's early works actually show his signs as a lover. In 1904, Picasso, a 23-year-old Spaniard, officially settled in the "laundry" of the Montmartre district of Paris. His work "Two Sisters" is about poor women seen in Paris. Painting a prostitute and a nun as two sisters shows his very different view of women, either the Virgin Mary or the prostitutes. He has two small nude paintings in his collection, one of which even reads: "When you have the heart to play with women, play with them."

Laundry boat harvests the first love

It was also in the "laundry boat" that Picasso gained his first love. One afternoon in 1904, when the rainstorm suddenly came, Picasso walked to the studio with the kitten rescued from the rain in his arms, and a beautiful woman rushed into the laundry. The woman, named Fernand, became Picasso's first love, and the clever and creative Fernand had a strong attraction for Picasso, and he began to use pink in large areas, and circus actors and charlatans gradually replaced the previously frequently abandoned people. During his 8 years living with Fernand, Picasso completed his masterpiece The Maiden of Avignon. But Fernand did not let Picasso settle down, although his life became richer because he became acquainted with the big dealers and the female writer Stein and his wife, but he sometimes had inexplicable panic, and in the process, the contradiction with Fernand gradually intensified, and later, Fernand ran away with a futurist painter.

While associating with Fernand, Picasso was already secretly associating with Ava. In 1912, Picasso began to write the words "My Little Beauty" in his paintings to express his love for Ava. Compared to Fernand, Ava is petite and delicate, tender as water. She loved Picasso with all her heart and obeyed him absolutely. This brought the fears that were deep in Picasso's heart under control and became much more subdued. Picasso always took Ava with him like a doll, and in 1913 took her to Spain to meet her parents. Soon after, Ava fell ill and died shortly after. It was when Picasso was with his lover Ava that he used collage to create, and gradually developed a variety of styles such as "integrated Cubism", but there are not many works about her.

Frequent leg splitting Emotional life is in turmoil

Amorous or abusive? The painter's life

After Ava, Picasso's emotional life was spent in frequent "leg splitting", and you may think that Picasso never devoted himself to it.

In 1916, he began designing scenes, costumes and props for the Ballet of Russia. Subsequently, I met Oga, a Russian beauty of noble birth. As a teenager, Picasso once had a girl in his first love with Coron, but he was rejected because of his birth, and he has always been bitter about it. Picasso quickly married the third woman in his life, Olga, and through marriage he finally rose to the aristocracy.

Picasso was not a few years old with the conservative and arrogant Olga. In 1927, Picasso met the blonde Marie Teresa at the subway station and was quickly mesmerized by her Greek nose, gray-blue eyes, and high, erect breasts. During this time, Picasso painted Mary in gorgeous colors and dreamy tones, while the "old love" Olga painted ugly and fierce, as if cursing a devil. A painting by a woman with a sharp knife created in 1931 at the "2011 Picasso China Exhibition" features Ou Jia. Picasso uses exaggerated, distorted lines and large swaths of blood to render the pain of his marriage to Olga.

This man who is easy to empathize with and fall in love, not only attracts women who throw themselves into the net with his artistic talent, but he will also leave a mark for them in his paintings. In Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen uses Stein's words to belittle the wandering artist.

Passion and hormones are innate: it's like a myth

Flower Woman

Artist Yue Minjun has always been curious why Picasso still maintained a strong creative passion after his success, and his attempts at new styles were always successful. He found the book "Picasso and His Lovers", and after reading it, he found: "Picasso's passion, vitality and hormones are innate, this is simply a myth." ”

Picasso's love life is not a "myth", and when he is entangled in the middle of three women, he quickly falls in love with the "fourth person", a 21-year-old girl named Fang Sihua. Just like when every love began in the past, Picasso and Fang Sihua fell in love, painted a large number of portraits for her, and was most famous for "Flower Woman". In 1947 and 1949, Picasso and Fonshua's son Claude and daughter Paloma were born. In this exhibition, "The Child Playing with the Truck" and "Claude, Fang Sihua and Palomar" are portrayed by Fang Sihua and her children.

Compared to Picasso's previous lovers, Fang Washigh was extremely intelligent and had read the law. When Fang Sihua devoted himself to his life with Picasso, he felt more and more clearly that Picasso "never knew her", Picasso's love was only possession, Fang Sihua chose to leave, and then in 1964, Fang Sihua published the book "Living with Picasso", revealing the unknown side of Picasso, which made Picasso extremely annoyed, he repeatedly appealed, asked for a ban, and gathered more than 40 well-known people in the literary and artistic circles to sign a declaration. Picasso ultimately lost.

Even though his failed relationship with Fang Sihua hit Picasso hard, he was physically and mentally exhausted at the age of 73 at the time, but he could not bear to live alone, and before his 80th birthday, he married 28-year-old Jia Guilin, which was Picasso's second marriage and the end of Picasso's emotional life.

In his later years, Picasso was filled with despair and resentment, at this time, he no longer needed style, and his anger became a major element of style in the society of the time. In November 1965, Picasso underwent surgery on the gallbladder and prostate. For more than a year after that, Picasso, who had stopped secreting hormones, did not paint oil.

Many of Picasso's wives and lovers were unable to "die well", Marie Teresa and Jia Guilin chose to commit suicide, Olga was on the verge of collapse, and Dora Mar was once insane. Fang Sihua broke this "spell", and she was recently interviewed by the media in New York, nearly 90 years old, "Picasso is always lying to his women in order to make them obediently surround him." Fang Sihua said: "The author of Guernica is not an angel,

Perhaps, the ethical values of ordinary people are not suitable for a painter with a high degree of creativity. ”

Dali

"The difference between me and a madman is that I'm not crazy"

Amorous or abusive? The painter's life

There are many stories of painters and women since ancient times, both the East and the West, but after we have seen the love stories of so many painters, we have to ask what kind of love and what kind of women do painters need at present? Dalí gives us the answer: Salvador Dalí, the master of Spanish surrealism, defines himself this way: "The difference between me and a madman is that I am not crazy. ”

In the 20th century, Dalí was definitely a radiant name that represented irrational, crazy, fashionable art, and of course the name also represented strange beards, jaw-dropping shapes, exaggerated movements, and ostentatious eloquence. Dalí was undoubtedly a crazy genius, but it was such a fanatical Dalí who maintained the myth of loving only one woman all his life, and perhaps, for him, creating possibilities that everyone thought was impossible was the most proud achievement of his life.

He has been infatuated with Gala since the age of 25

There is only one goddess of life

Amorous or abusive? The painter's life

Before meeting his only goddess, Gala, Dalí carved such a self—a childhood man who refused to go to school and refuse knowledge because he did not want to be seen as the shadow of his dead brother. At the age of 6 he was interested in cooking, and at the age of 7 he was Napoleon. Since then, his ambitions have continued to grow, like his fanatical fascination with all kinds of great things, including his later fascination with his only goddess Gala. At the age of 22, the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid gave him a stage to show his personality, he was no longer obsessed with those empty titles, he began to be a unique Dalí, and he gradually discovered that it was better to be a different self than to repeat any great man. His constant desire to contradict the masses and his ridiculous words and deeds made him soon famous at the Academy, but maintaining a maverick in an Academy of Artists was no easy task. To catch the eye, Dalí spent three hours ingenuity, using painted oil paint and special hair nets to make his hair into a turntable, and if slapped, it would make a metallic sonorous sound.

The 21-year-old Dalí is obviously not satisfied with creating surprises on a small scale, he has a solo exhibition in Barcelona, his paintings full of strange and distorted deformation have earned enough eyeballs and applause, this stage of Dalí has begun to prove that there is no field that he can not set foot in, so he put himself into more environments, as soon as his name appears, it will immediately cause controversy, he is satisfied, this is the effect he is happy to see.

In 1929, at the age of 25, Dalí met Gala, a woman he had been crazy about all his life.

At that time, Dalí was laughing at his own crazy thoughts on the beach in his hometown, when a taxi stopped and the Spanish surrealist poet Paul Ella and his wife Gala walked towards Dalí. This time, the god of fate brought Gala to Dalí.

That night, Dalí had a serious conversation with Gala, and as a result, Gala decided to stay, and Paul left alone. Dalí and Gala eloped to a small fishing village in the port of Ligat, rented a cottage of less than 4 square meters, and lived a life of seclusion. While life in this paradise is intoxicating, it is "a barren piece of the world." The morning is full of vibrant sunshine, but the evening is a sad feeling." Perhaps because of its specialness, the landscape of The Port of Ligat is repeated in Dalí's life's work.

Gala's love cured his hysteria and became the source of Dalí's creation. The clever Gala not only enriched Dalí's art, but also organized the life that made Dalí a mess, teaching him how to dress, how to walk on the stairs without falling down every step, how to identify enemies, and how not to throw bones on the ground while eating. Gala knew he was weak and hid him like an oyster in a hard shell, carefully protecting him.

In 1982, Gala died, and Dalí's work also lost inspiration, and his health deteriorated, just as Dalí, who had lost his wings, locked himself in a castle and never created a satisfactory work, and seven years later, he died of heart disease and respiratory complications.

Although Dalí and his elderly wife Gala are young and old, Dalí has shown affection and single-mindedness to Gala for many years, and has envied many people. The movie "Little Ashes" reveals that there was an unforgettable same-sex love between the young Dalí and the Spanish romantic poet Federico Garcia Lorca. The film's original title, Little Ash, is quoted from Rocca's poem "Little Ash": "We are all little dust in the world, maybe we stopped on the canvas, but after thousands of years, we will all return to dust." Dalí also had a painting called Little Ash, which is rumored to have been his dedication to Rocca.

Directed by Paul Morrison Morrison said it was the first film in history to reveal that Dalí and Rocca had been gay. According to general historical records, the two were close friends, but they could not confirm whether there was a love relationship between the two, and Dalí denied having a relationship with Rocca before his death, and laughed and said: "It will hurt, and I don't want it!" However, the film screenwriter collected research literature and believed that "something did happen" between the two. "The relationship began as a friendship and gradually evolved into an intimate physical relationship, however, Dalí found it difficult to make such a relationship last."

The two love each other for ten years, and the second half of their lives are lamentable.

In the autumn of 1934, Zhang Daqian took a fancy to Yang Wanjun, a tianqiao Jingyun drum artist in Beiping. She looks very much like the beauty in Tang Bohu's paintings, and also has a pair of gelatinous jade hands that make Zhang Daqian exclaim and become a model for Zhang Daqian's female figures. Zhang Daqian intends to take Yang Wanjun as a concubine, the parents are very aware of their son's heart, and the son is socially extensive outside, the first two daughters-in-law are difficult to assume, and it is sooner or later to agree to a concubine.

Standing behind Zhang Daqian is Li Qiujun, a famous female painter in Shanghai.

This pair of lifelong confidants who have forgotten each other are not husband and wife, but they are beyond husband and wife.

In 1921, Zhang Daqian, who had recently married, returned to Shanghai and borrowed the residence of Li Weizhuang, a giant rich man in Ningbo, to meet Li Qiujun, the third lady of the Li family in Tonggeng, and the two sides admired each other and admired each other, and the Li family also intended to give their daughter Xu to Zhang Daqian. However, Zhang Daqian thought that he already had a wife at that time, "The famous and prestigious family of Li Mansion has no reason to make a thousand golden daughters and concubines; And I don't have a reason to stop remarrying." And Li Qiujun also "hated not marrying at the right time", so he did not marry for life.

Whenever Zhang Daqian went to a country, he would collect a little bit of dirt there, and then put it in an envelope and write "Three Sisters Pro-Exhibition". Later, through the younger brother of Li Qiujun in Hong Kong, he wrote in a letter to Li Qiujun: "Third sister, I heard that you have recently been sick, and my heart is like a knife. The biggest regret in life is that life cannot be the same, and death cannot be the same cave. Although you and I have written the epitaph together, it really worries me whether we can share the same cave after death.

In 1971, when Li Qiujun died, Zhang Daqian was holding an exhibition in Hong Kong. When he heard the news that the person he loved the most went first, Zhang Daqian was suddenly in a trance, and he could not get up on his knees for several days and nights. Since then, he has suddenly aged a lot, and the disciples around him often hear him say a sentence: "The third sister is alone..." Eight years later, Zhang Daqian passed away.

Zhang Daqian intended to take Huaiyu as a concubine, but because of his artist's birth, Zhang Shanzi opposed it, and the two had to separate. Zhang Daqian's love for Li Huaiyu, although short but unforgettable, even in his old age, Zhang Daqian is still worried. The face shape, hair bun, and clothing of the characters in "The Lady of The Willow Shade" are all permeated with the shadow of Huaiyu. He also used Huaiyu as a model to paint "Back Insert Golden Figure" and gave it to He Yingqin.

Zhang Daqian and the North Korean girl Chi Chunhong once had a strong relationship. The work "Heavenly Girl Scattered Flowers" is based on her.

Chi Chunhong is beautiful and wise, can sing and dance, rough painting, and empathetic, Zhang Daqian is moved by it. Since the two did not speak, they expressed their intentions by comparing their hands and feet. Since then, the two have fallen in love.

Zhang Daqian intended to take a concubine Chunhong, so he sent their photos to the second lady Huang Ningsu to ask for directions. However, due to various reasons, it was not possible. Still, the two maintained a close relationship, and Mr. Zhang had to go to North Korea every year to meet her. This annual "Queqiao Meeting" was interrupted until 1937, when the War of Resistance broke out in full swing.

Zhang Daqian's lover in Japan, Kimiko Yamada

After 1949, Zhang Daqian moved to Brazil, but he often went to Japan to buy painting utensils or frame calligraphy. The owner of the framed painting shop, Huang Hetang, introduced a Japanese woman, Yamada, to take care of his life. Yamada is young and beautiful, can speak some Chinese, can also write Chinese characters, and is also quite accomplished in painting, which is quite popular. But with the passage of time, Zhang Daqian gradually discovered that Yamada was committed to him, and his motives were not simple. Since then, he has categorically rejected the love of his children and completely awakened to detachment, ending this relationship.

Because of this relationship, Daqian once gave Miss Yamada a number of calligraphy and painting works. In recent years, there have been 7 auctions of Miss Yamada's treasured works in Hong Kong alone. It is also the only miracle that has so far been discovered that Mr. Ochiha has adopted a special creative method.

It's my fault to love you: Why are artists all sentimental?

Amorous or abusive? The painter's life

Human emotions create art, and art, in turn, creates human emotions. The two are interactive relationships, or in other words, the artist's artistic creation enriches people's lives, delicately and sublimates people's emotions. Art is the creative expression of human emotional and spiritual life. The ancient Roman aesthete Langis wrote in his famous Treatise on the Sublime: "Those great and intense emotions, if not controlled by reason and allowed to be manipulated by their own blind, rash impulses, will be in danger like a ship that has been drifting without a barn stone." They always need a whip, but they also need reins. ”

Emotions constitute the true center of fine art

Indeed, emotion (especially passion) constitutes, on the one hand, the true center of the fine arts, and on the other hand, the visual objects selected in the creation of the fine arts must not only be realized and moved by the artist himself, but must also have a thorough emotional understanding of its inner meaning. Because the superficiality of emotions often leads to the emptiness of the work, and the ideal picture should be a condensation of emotions. Therefore, only those emotional experiences that really make the creator himself very moved can become the inner force that shocks or soothes the viewer's heart.

In ancient China, it was often mentioned that the three words "knowing, feeling, and meaning" were known as the meaning of reason, emotion was the meaning of emotion, and meaning was the meaning of will. This relationship is also reflected in Western philosophies such as Kant's critical philosophical system. Kant believed that all of man's higher cognitive abilities derived from intellect, judgment, and reason. After the three major criticisms are determined, in terms of cognitive ability, intellectuality is legislative; As far as emotions are concerned, judgment with reflection is legislative; As far as the capacity of desire is concerned, reason is legislated. From this analysis, it can be seen that it is consistent with "knowing, feeling, and intention". In Kant's Critique of Judgment, the human psychic ability is analyzed as pleasant and unpleasant emotions, and its innate principle is purposefulness, which is applied to art.

Art transfers and sublimates in the impulse of sexual force

In the process of human life and creation, it is often the same as emotion. Emotions arise from desires and needs, and when the average person feels his own desires and needs, the catharsis of his emotions is manifested as the utilitarianism of reality; The emotional catharsis of the artist is beyond reality, the sublimation of desires and needs, usually expressed as the creation of art. Art is the satisfaction of repressed desires in fantasy, a view derived from the use of psychoanalysis by Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, to study art. Freud believed that repressed desires in reality, especially sexual impulses, tended to shift to higher goals, and art became the realization of this repressed desire in the fantasy. Art is the transfer and sublimation of desire, and the catharsis of the artist's emotions.

People have emotions, and when the artist creates an image, he must condense his understanding of various life phenomena on the image. Otherwise, the artistic appeal of the image is zero. The image of the work of art must be an artistic image, which is permeated with strong emotional factors and can arouse the corresponding resonance of the art appreciator. For anything, for any beautiful landscape, for people, the painter does not integrate into his true emotions, does not integrate into the understanding and attitude of the thing. If you don't want to express it in a form of expression that you are familiar with, you will not create a satisfactory work. Occasional creation is also empty and boring, lacking to give people beauty or association, or to give people inspiration, it will not have any meaning, and the work will have no value.

As Beethoven famously said: Only from the heart can you enter the heart.

Generally speaking, in addition to the familiar joys and sorrows of human feelings, there are many emotions closely related to the art world, such as: loneliness, sorrow, tragedy, depression, emptiness, sublimeness, solemnity, sacredness, coldness, remoteness, tranquility, desolation and awe.

O. Wilde (1856-1900), a representative figure of British aestheticism and advocating the theory of "art supremacy", once said: "There has always been fog in London, but no one has seen fog and does not understand fog." It wasn't until art created fog that fog began to exist. When Monet exhibited his paintings in London in Britain, the British wondered: Is the "fog capital" in which we are really like the painter's pen? How did those very gray or pearlescent mist turn purple red as soon as it reached the eyes of the French? However, when the British viewers walked out of the exhibition hall in doubt, they were tantamount to experiencing a thrill of experiencing the most direct truth, because the fog above their heads really had a certain purple-red hue! Monet's emotional experience and artistic creation made the citizens of London almost look at their city in a different way. After watching Leviathan's "Vladimir Road" painting, the former Soviet writer Baustovs saw for the first time the colors of the cloudy russian sky.

Conscious activities are purposeful activities. What is the purpose of artistic creation, the purpose of the existence of works of art? The answer is very important: it is sympathy. The so-called sympathy is the unity of my emotions with the emotions of others, or the unity of other people's emotions with my emotions. Artists seek compassion. Compassion as a spiritual need is a need at a higher level of human development. If the artist does not experience a certain emotion, he will not have the impulse to express, and thus there will be no artistic activity. In this sense compassion is the life of art.

According to the Swiss psychologist Jung, "the artist, driven by an irrepressible creative passion, must desperately complete his work, leading to the destruction of his personal life, and therefore the life of the artist is at least extremely unfortunate, if not tragic." "Like Van Gogh, he was a genius, a fanatic, and the protagonist of tragedy. Van Gogh's passion came from the world in which he lived, from the overwhelming reactions of the people he knew. Through the language of painting, he strives to convey and express the desolation and loneliness in his heart. These indescribable emotions are woven into oil paintings. The same is true of other amorous painters, who constantly use the image of a woman to vent their loneliness and melancholy on canvas, and also to express their love and passion.
