There are too many things to pursue in life, and I don't know that there is a sacrifice to get, this is a kind of wisdom, and what we need is such a state of mind that pursues art. When we hold the indifferent flowers and face it with a calm attitude, the final result, how many beautiful surprises will we meet?
Today admire the works of art of the German painter Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), the best painter in German history, woodblock printmaker, designer, architect, art theorist, who knew Latin and Italian, was proficient in geometry, mathematics, religion and divination, and was known as Leonardo da Vinci of the School of Painting north of the Alps. His representative works include "Adam and Eve", "Knight, Death and Devil", "Great Destiny", "Revelation", "The Great Tribulation of Christ", "The Hand of Prayer" and so on.
Expectations are needed, efforts are deserved, but the result is sometimes always based on marriage. The Germans used the paper-making revolution to endure movable type, the Italians used their artistic talents to create luxury goods, and Dürer was admiring the talent of the best in the best period, Engels spoke highly of Dürer He said: "Dürer is the painter who represents democracy in Germany, and he is also the artistic founder who brought Italian Renaissance ideas into Germany and opened up a new era of Italian national art." Like Leonardo da Vinci, he was seen as a giant who needed to be produced by the Age of Giants.
We can smile all the time, have a peaceful heart, have eternal happiness, and eternal artistic inspiration. As a fusion of Eastern and Western art, Dürer's paintings that communicate the North and the South have influenced the technological buds of Western art history for more than 500 years, pioneering the tradition of European self-portraiture, and are the highest expression and expression of the humanistic spirit of the Renaissance. Later, Western artists basically began to paint self-portraits, taking the initiative to see themselves as a mirror for examining themselves and introspecting themselves, the most famous of which were Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Munch and so on.
Dürer's popular timing is inseparable from this era, just like us today, in a good era, the book of Revelation is the spiritual food of that era for the public, it frees German art from the influence and shackles of Gothic art, and moves towards the artistic path of realism guided by civilizationalism.
Dürer was the first painter to sketch nature, and during his long journey, painting was the best companion, and he became a guest on Dürer's canvas by carefully observing the landscape, trees, flowers, birds, fish and insects, etc. In painting and sketching, he discovered the beauty of nature, integrated into the inspiration of art, and formed a wonderful artistic picture, he was the first sketch painter in Western history.
In Dürer's life, he imagined a lot, painted a lot, which seems to be a kind of wisdom, this is a trade-off, the kind of state of mind that we need to pursue in his art world, that kind of indifference, like a bouquet of punctual indifference, with a calm attitude, let us meet with his beauty unexpectedly.
