A picture of Shunrou(Hokusai) in the latter period looks like having the roundness of the lines of Sharaku

 

All cognitive activity occurs in the frontal lobe.

Tactile and visual sensations recognize external objects.

Visual ability to recognize shapes is the basis of all intellectual activity.

Being able to see an object in a simplified shape is the first method of recognizing the outside world.

The sound is probably heard simplified accordingly.

Music is made on a scale that uses limited sounds. Similarly, the shape is made on a scale consisting of  limited arcs of circles.

 It's no coincidence that both are made up of around twelve units.

Visual grammar is a scientific summary of this cognitive act.

Logic needs the help of aesthetics (Perth),

Visual grammar underlies aesthetics.

The basis of aesthetics is visual grammar.

 Visual grammar can be acquired a priori.

All genius painters end up with the same perception.

Shunrou　and Sharaku must be the same person at the same time and place.

One of the characteristics of Sharaku is that You can clearly see the roundness of the lines as if you drew it using  circular paper patterns.

This late Shunrou　painting has the same properties.

 It can be confirmed using the arc model.

Shunrou [Two kids playing game] arc model

                     Sharaku [Siga daisiti] arc model

                     Sharaku [Two sumo-wrestlers]

Recognizing that the smallest unit of plastic art is a curved line,

it can be seen that most of Sharaku's works are drawn in a series of arcs.

From the late Shunrou to Sharaku, the compositional devices were gradually developed.

Geometrical quantification of taste judgment in the case of Harunobu

Image
     Koryusai on the left  Harunobu on the right I found a work that imitate Harunobu's "Gojorei" by Koryusai, who is said to be a follower of Harunobu.   It is well known  that it is based on Harunobu's work [Gojounorei] . It can be imagined that the kimono figure on the left was brought from somewhere and synthesized without changing the kimono figure on the right. Musically speaking, the right and left kimonos are not made with the same scale. It will be clear if I make arc model. As all the parts are not made at the same time, Koryusai could not adjust the harmony  and balance. Early ukiyo-e painters shared patterns and  drew similar pictures. Harunobu's artistry lies in how well it is structured. All the curved lines are arcs  and the circles of the arcs are limited. the largest and the second largest circles make basic structure.                   Harunobu [Gojourei]  ...

An AI robot with no artistic appreciation ability can mechanically select works that are harmonious and balanced.

  My daily image search for Matisse's drawings reveals that  there is a mixture of casually drawn pieces and well-balanced pieces, but they are easily distinguishable with taste judgement. The latter type is often lithograph. Recently I found something a little unfamiliar.      Henri Matisse, Plate 153. Florilège des Amours de Ronsard, 1948 At first glance, their hairstyles are almost same and they are facing right but they are different in size. The two shapes are just barely on the right,  so it looks like Matisse is trying for best one profile, but if you look closely, it's a pretty well-balanced composition. I can guess that this to be carefully crafted.   Harmony can be achieved by using only arcs of a limited number of circles, and balance can be adjusted by bundling those circles together.  Only a limited number of artists who know about this technique are already using it.  Conversely, an AI robot without artistic appreciat...

Picasso "Female Nude with Arms Raised"　1907 in the Sainsbury Collection ; more interesting than Les Demoiselles D’Avignon

Image
In the previous blog "Cézanne, Seurat and Beardsley arrived at the same technique", I wrote two conditions of modern art from the level of formalism: Constructing with only arcs of a few circles of different sizes creates harmony. Then the circles can be used to create a balanced structure. 　    Picasso “Female Nude with Arms Raised” 　 1907 in the Sainsbury Collection    Picasso “Female Nude with Arms Raised” 　 arc-circle model According to the explanation of the museum that owns this work, it is a study for Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, But if you look at the work itself 、 this painting is more complete. Comments without a structural model don't make much sense.  The model reminds me of Seurat's "Study of Model".    Seurat "Study of the Model"    Seurat "Study of the Model" arc-circle model.
