Cezanne's still life can be made of units what modern artists learned from Cezanne grammatically

Image
If we consider the smallest unit of a work of art to be a line segment,  then not only the human body, but also the structural models of still life can be created in the same way.  Motifs can be the starting point for conceiving new networks. Still life is easier to compose than landscapes. Picasso and Matisse noticed Cézanne's game-like compositional method.   Cezanne "Still life"   arc model Using limited number of circles for the arcs , harmonious effect is produced. The arcs can be extended to circles, which make the composition balanced. arc circle-cross model There is another still life with very attractive half circle.  Cezanne "Still life with pomegranate and pears" arc model circle cross  model The half circle of the pot correspond to the parts 0f the dish.  Picasso "Still life" 1908 According to the internet, this painting is classified as: Subject and objects: Still life Style of art: Cubism This painting, with its volume, shadin...

Unified Art Theory (Modern art was the rediscovery of forgotten Renaissance techniques)

Structure of art work is the content of art. Connoisseurs can detect the visual effect through their own personal taste. Only true artists realize that the effect comes from the structure. I believe Raphael was the greatest artist, and I will demonstrate this with a model.    Raphael “The Three Graces” 1800 Michelangelo Study of a Nude Man Drawing of a Nude Seen from Behind by Leonardo da Vinci Even if you look at the real Mona Lisa dozens of times, you will not be able to understand Da Vinci's art. The Mona Lisa is a semi-technical experiment that attempts to create a natural-looking effect, and is a feasible expression of generative AI descriptive power. At the level of the grammar of shape, it is ambiguous. The lines are obscured by the emphasis on shading. In this work, the face is not visible, and there is no color or shading, so the shape is clearly visible. It can be almost completely reproduced using only six types of units. Durer  “ Female Nu...

Two "Bathers" paintings by Cézanne

Cezanne "The Bather" Momma Cezanne "Bather with stretched arms" private collection It's clear that the same techniques are being used. To create harmony in the human body, which is made up of a series of curved lines, it is easy to imagine that this can be achieved by connecting arcs of a small number of circles. The difference shows the uniqueness of each Painting. First and foremost, artists must be art lovers. Naturally, they would want to see all of Cézanne's works. If that were to happen, 1) we could automate the creation of structural models of works using generative AI, 2) classify the structures of the models, and extract the artistic content that is the best way to do it, 3) invent even more interesting structures, 4) we can predict that the work of artists will become like shogi using generative AI.  

A vast amount of digital images of art works creates a true theory of art

 Art lovers must have the catalogue of Picasso. And, I guess, that they must enjoy searching digital images of Picasso.  They know "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is not best work among Cubist paintings. Twentieth-century art theory was incomplete, focusing only on a small number of museum collections. The essence of a work of art is the shape of the image. The original work is not important.   The brilliant idea of ​​[ art in the age of technological reproduction] was never put into practice. A rt studies were limited almost exclusively to works that were featured in the commercial art world. Art lovers who collect and enjoy digital images may be a new breed.   Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is popuar because it is only a large oil painting at the Museum of Modern Art, but there are plenty of structurally interesting works to be found online. Let's take a look at the two works from 1907. Picasso "Female nude with arms raised/...

Both representational and abstract paintings are made using the same techniques.

  According to Alfred Barr's diagram, artworks evolve and become abstract. From visual grammar’s point artworks are created for practical purposes, paintings appear realistic at first glance. If we ignore the appearance and look only at the shape, all artworks are various networks. At this level, the viewer tends to see shape as simpler, which means he can recognize the characteristics of shape integrally. And the artist can create shapes handling the integral characteristics logically To summarize, this can be called visual grammar     I will show that these works can be made using the same techniques.                                                               Arp “Two figures”               ...
