Open Traveler: Culture Invasion Parallel Blue Star

Chapter 111 The real Da Vinci Code, the golden section!
Lin Xuan, who came to the stage wearing a long gown, did not bow to the camera as before, but bowed: "In the ancient times of Earth and Star, there was an unnamed poet who wrote a poem that can be said to be at the peak of poetic history in terms of artistic conception and words. work."

"Looking at the mountains from a distance,

Listening to the water is silent.

Spring is gone and flowers are still there,
Birds are not surprised when people come. "

"The whole poem is titled "Painting." Lin Xuan smiled and took two steps: "There is not a single word for painting in the text of the poem, but there is not a single word that is not a painting."

"And this poem also vividly depicts the characteristics of painting art."

"Looking at the mountains from a distance, painting is a kind of visual art. It enters the human eye through light, and then forms an impression in the human brain, which is similar to the pictures we see in life."

"Listening to the silent water, painting is a kind of freeze-frame art. It freezes an image in the flow of time on the carrier."

"The spring is gone and the flowers are still there. Painting is an aesthetic art. What it depicts most are those beautiful things that are perishable."

"People are not surprised. Painting is a kind of spatial art. It is in a two-dimensional space and is self-contained. It has no feedback to the outside world but can arouse people's associative memory."

"Michelangelo said: The artist paints with his head, not with his hands."

"Xu Wei said: Don't take Danqing for nothing, and sing the praises of Qianqiu in silent poems."

"Qi Baishi said: Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me perish."

"Wang Wei said: When painting landscapes, the intention is to put the pen first."

"Goethe said: The artist has a double relationship to nature: he is both its master and its slave."

"I certainly have a lot to say about painting."

Lin Xuan used this passage to describe to the Blue Star audience the tip of the iceberg of the earth and star world.

It is also this corner that will open the curtain of the sixth issue of "Painting" of "I am a time traveler".

"Hi, judges, I'm Lin Xuan. I don't want to talk about it alone. I also want to ask a few of you how you view the art of painting."

Several judges glanced at each other, Macro looked at Merelson, and Merelson looked at Zhang Peien.

Zhang Peien: "Why don't you give priority to the young?"

Merelson: "I heard people say that there is a saying in Longguo called anti-guest... The guest is up to the owner, right, Mr. Zhang should come first."

Zhang Peien was not too polite: "Then I will come first, to be honest, I am already impatient."

"Just now, Lin Xuan, you said that there is a man named Wang Wei in the Earth Star, who said that when painting landscapes, the intention is to put the pen first."

"In other words, the paintings of Earth Star Dragon Kingdom are more about artistic conception than form?"

Lin Xuan nodded, then shook his head: "The ancient paintings of the Dragon Kingdom can be roughly divided into meticulous paintings and artistic conception paintings."

"Many times, meticulous painting is also very important."

"Okay." Zhang Pei'en: "I've seen screenshots on the Internet. There is a place called Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes in Dixinglong Kingdom. There are many paintings of Bodhisattvas and gods in it."

"Their eyes have adopted the space technique that the West has adopted almost until modern times. Is this allowed in Meticulous Painting?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "If you are painting a portrait of the emperor, you probably don't need it. Everyone else will use it."

In ancient culture, there is nothing that can make the emperor bow his head. Even if it is offering sacrifices to the sky, the emperor still looks up to the sky.

Therefore, the low-brow and pleasing-to-eye technique is only applicable to characters other than the emperor.

Zhang Peien smiled: "Then I want to look at the portraits of ancient emperors to judge the artistic form of meticulous painting."

Paintings cannot be exactly the same. If a painting is turned into a photo, it is worthless.

Many people have a misunderstanding that the more similar the painting is, the better.

This is wrong.

To give a very simple example, Master Leng, the master of painting in the world of Earth and Stars, the price of a painting can be as high as 8000 million.

His paintings, small canvases, are superimposed with color blocks to slowly construct a human face.

However, there are many painters abroad who use super-large drawing boards to outline shapes with pencils, and then fill in colors slowly.

To be precise, it is to fill in the pixel blocks according to the photos.

These super-sized paintings that are one-to-one with photos cost as much as US$20. The labor cost is unknown, and the price is US$[-] to US$[-].

But Master Leng paints a picture, the material cost is several thousand yuan, and the labor cost is unknown, the price is 8000 million.

Comparing the two together, you will know the difference between a painting and a photo.

And Luo Dan, the historical-level artist of Earth Star, once said: Clumsy artists always wear other people's glasses.

Lin Xuan smiled: "You can see it naturally if you have the opportunity. Let me ask Master Zhang Peien to talk about Lan Xing's paintings."

Zhang Peien nodded: "I won't talk about oil painting, I'll leave it to them. Traditional Chinese painting needs to have three characteristics."

"It jumps off the paper."

"The charm is long."

"Brilliant style."

These concepts are all fictitious concepts, which are difficult to explain clearly.

Zhang Peien tried his best to teach the audience with relatively simple principles: "That is to say, in traditional Chinese painting, it must be prominent when painted on paper."

"What is shown in the painting must last forever."

"A painter's personal skills must not be blindly learned from others."

"This is the characteristic of Chinese painting."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Dixing, most people who study Chinese painting will be introduced to start learning from the "Mustard Seed Garden" drawing manual, but when learning the Mustard Seed Garden drawing manual, most newcomers will feel that the drawn things are not energetic, so Give up studying painting."

"They feel that the gap between the painting manual and the Chinese painting they are familiar with is too huge, and they may not have the talent to learn painting."

"Actually, learning painting should start from learning calligraphy, and pay attention to expressing the heart directly. The key to the art of painting is that the hands must be able to perfectly reflect the things in the mind."

Zhang Pei'en: "It seems that Earth Star Dragon Kingdom and Blue Star Dragon Kingdom are roughly equivalent in traditional Chinese painting."

Lin Xuan nodded and shook his head: "There are still many differences, we will talk about it later."

"So, Master Merelson, can you tell us about oil painting?"

Merelson stood up and bowed: "Western painting is divided into many categories, such as sketch, watercolor, gouache, and the most important one is of course oil painting."

"Oil painting is currently divided into two major factions, or three major factions."

"Realist school strives to make the painting as real as possible, consistent with the shape and appearance of real people."

"A lot of celebrity portraits, sacred paintings, church wall paintings, will use this kind of painting."

"The second faction is the light school, which is also a faction I am familiar with. It is necessary to use the sense of space, color gap, and light adjustment to create an atmosphere."

"The third faction is the fusion faction represented by Master Li Jun present."

"After we studied Eastern and Western paintings, we found that Western paintings generally tend to be realistic, while Eastern paintings generally tend to be freehand."

"When a painter has a solid foundation of Western painting and can express the freehand brushwork of Eastern painting, the combination will make the level of painting infinitely higher."

Li Jun nodded and stood up: "Actually, the Fusion faction is currently suspected of cheating."

"If judged on a [-]-point scale, the authentic master Marco can achieve a [-]-point authenticity."

"And the master of the light school, Merelson, can be very real and three-point freehand."

"Mr. Zhang Peien, a master of traditional Chinese painting, can achieve three-point truth and very freehand brushwork."

"As for me, I can achieve eight-point real eight-point freehand brushwork."

"This is also the reason why the auction prices of paintings by painters of the Fusion School of Longguo are generally higher than those of Eastern and Western paintings of the same level in the world."

To put it simply, Macro is like learning Chinese to the limit, while Merelson learned mathematics after reaching perfection in Chinese, and Zhang Peien learned Chinese after learning the limit of mathematics.

And Li Jun himself is excellent in mathematics and Chinese.

In this case, the price of paintings will go up.

However, one-sided perfection, such as Merelson and Zhang Peien, is at another level.

If someone achieves [-] points in both realism and freehand brushwork, then this person cannot be called a fusion school, but should be an almighty god in the painting world.

Because human experience is limited, how can everything reach the level of Dzogchen.

To put it bluntly, every time a new genre emerges in the painting art world, it is waiting for a super genius to emerge, making up time with genius.

This is also the reason why these four people came to "I am the time traveler" impatiently.

They want to see if there is such a genius on Earth.

Lin Xuan nodded: "Actually, our earth and stars are similar in painting."

"However, there are some differences."

"When it comes to painting, we start from the most basic."

"There is a painter named Da Vinci on Earth, he is recognized as a super genius."

"He is good at painting, sculpture, invention, architecture, and is proficient in mathematics, biology, physics, astronomy, geology and other disciplines. He is also a pioneer in the study of human body structure on Earth and stars."

"He laid the first foundation for the history of earth and star oil painting, and he reached the pinnacle of realism."

Behind Lin Xuan, a portrait of Da Vinci appeared.

Da Vinci, like a Santa Claus, is the face he left the deepest impression on the world.

"The realism of Earth Star is almost exactly the same as that of Blue Star."

The master of realism, Mark Luo, became interested in it instantly, although there were some figures who had reached the peak of realism in the history of Blue Star.

But Macro still wanted to see something new.

It also reached the peak of realism, but there were no paintings that any Blue Star people had seen.

Lin Xuan smiled: "There are many masterpieces of his, but I chose his most famous painting for everyone to appreciate."

"Mona Lisa's smile."

At this time, the earth star Gaul chicken country, Barley.

Countless tourists are looking at replicas in the exhibition hall.

Together with the camera, Lin Xuan came to the warehouse, the most secret room.

Lin Xuan had just crossed over and looked at Mona Lisa's smile from a perspective that no one could observe. There was a photo hanging outside.

Although they are exactly the same, when you look closely, you can see that the brushstrokes are completely gone.

Therefore, it took Lin Xuan some time to find the real thing.

The camera was focused on "Mona Lisa's Smile", and the true face of this painting also appeared on the screens of countless people through the Internet in an instant.

[Is this the world-famous painting of Earth Star?It feels nothing special, and this woman is not beautiful either. 】

[Didn’t other masters say that the paintings cannot be seen clearly through photos or screens, and you have to go to the scene or watch the painting process to see the level. 】

[Then let's see a delta! ! ! ! 】

[Don't worry, Lin Xuan will take us to see the painting process. 】

At this time, the realist master Marco stood up in surprise: "When was this painting painted???"

"About 1503-1506."

After getting Lin Xuan's answer, Mark Luo praised: "I don't know if Earth Star's painting is better than Blue Star's, but this Da Vinci is definitely a super genius. Earth Star's peak of realism reached 50 years earlier than Blue Star's peak of realism. !"

With just one glance and only looking at the photos, Macro has already confirmed that this is indeed the pinnacle of realism or realism.

Master of the Light School Merelson nodded: "That's right, that's true."

Li Jun also nodded in admiration.

Lin Xuan was stunned. He hasn't said anything yet. Have your brothers reached a consensus?
Zhang Peien, who is as ignorant as Lin Xuan, knows a lot about the art of oil painting, but he is not very clear about the history of oil painting.

"Who will explain why?"

Merelson said: "Lin Xuan, how do you call diamond division on Earth?"

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment and realized what Merelson was talking about: "It is called the golden section point on the earth and stars."

Merelson: "Can you show the surround image of the golden ratio point 1:1.618 on the screen?"

"can."

Lin Xuan waved his hand, and on the screen, a wraparound picture with a ratio of 1:1.618 of the golden section appeared next to "Mona Lisa's Smile".

The scale of this division is between 16:10 and 16:9, which is the common TV scale on the market.

The long side of the TV is 16, and the width is 10, which is a standard golden section rectangle.

If a cuboid is re-divided with the width of the TV set as 16, then a new golden section cuboid will appear.

In the same way inside the cuboid, the cuboid will be divided continuously.

And if the two vertices of the remaining part of the partition are connected into an arc, the entire partition graph will form a spiral like a conch.

This is the 1:1.618 scale drawing.

Lin Xuan smiled and snapped his fingers.

On the "Mona Lisa Smile", there are countless auxiliary lines of the golden section line.

Mona Lisa's smile is full of golden section!

The proportion of the picture itself starts from the nose of Mona Lisa, and the whole body of Mona Lisa is all inside the 1.618 arc.

The end point is exactly where the Mona Lisa folded her arms.

The face of Mona Lisa is inside the four divided cuboids.

They are the lower jaw, the left cheek, the atrium and upper forehead, and the right cheek.

The end point of every structure on Mona Lisa's face will end at the junction of cuboids.

Mona Lisa's smile is based on mathematics and is full of mathematical aesthetics.

At the same time, she has the beauty of physics in her body.

Optically has a harmonious color.

And at the same time, it expresses something extra.

This proves that Da Vinci did not reach the limit of realism with great difficulty, but was already moving from realism to lightism, that is, impressionism on the earth and stars.

"Sure enough, the composition of the whole picture is laid out according to the golden section point, which is the diamond section of our Blue Star. At the same time, the color blocks are slowly superimposed to this extent, which is indeed the pinnacle of realism." Merelson: "From A painting from 1506? Admire it!"

Zhang Peien smiled: "Don't just be happy for yourself, you tell everyone, how did you see that it is a real school of color block overlay painting instead of pixel painting?"

Merelson smiled: "The answer is hidden in the smile. Look, is Ms. Mona Lisa really smiling?"

Lin Xuan: "Ahem, let me correct you. Her name is not Mona Lisa, but Lisa. Mona is the honorific title for ladies in Da Vinci's country."

Merelson laughed and corrected: "The answer is hidden in Miss Lisa's smile."
