He talks about looking, but after reading it you understand the art. It's like a movie traveling through the history of mankind composed of images.
From the first person who left a palm print on the cave wall, to the painters who picked up their brushes to paint, and then to the artists who used cameras to capture the world, now everyone is taking pictures and making all kinds of things at any time. images and share the grand occasion, what will happen next? How do these images break through the boundaries of region, culture and time, influence the way all mankind sees the world, and intertwine themselves into a visual network that cannot exist independently?
Capturing time and space with flat media is an eternal human impulse. Because we never stop "seeing".
The frescoes from seven hundred years ago now look quite "Disney"; the sixteenth-century Italian painter Caravaggio invented the classic Hollywood-style lighting; Ingrid in "The Spies of North Africa". Bergman looks like Titian's Mary Magdalene; the waves in Japanese ukiyo-e appear in "Pinocchio"...
"Century Painting Master" David. David Hockney and the famous British art critic Martin. Martin Gayford spans 30,000 years of Eastern and Western art, and uses 300 famous paintings that people think are familiar to lead readers on an unprecedented and uniquely inspiring journey of art through time and space.
Painting is an immortal creative form that changes appearance under different time and space backgrounds and technological developments. The world appears in people's eyes, either through the senses or through optics, and is "flattened" on the plane in various ways under the interpretations of different masters. And these works that "narrate what you see" back to suggest how people should view the world. This dense visual reincarnation cannot be expressed within the scope of traditional art history. Through the wonderful dialogue between two master authors, we can re-understand visual arts such as painting, photography, film, and even sculpture and theater, and begin to understand their spirit and value.
What is reality and what is fiction? Would you rather trust the camera than your own eyes? After reading this book, you will regain the skill of "seeing". Whether it is viewing the world, appreciating paintings, or watching a movie, you will have new gains and feelings.
