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

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.

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".

new art theory based on huge amount of digital images

This work can probably only be seen by people who have a habit of searching for interesting works on the Internet. So far, I have not found any reviews for this work.                                              It  seems that prints are often ignored as artwork. According to Shklovsky's theory of art, the content of art is the method. As almost all reviews have been written without understanding the content: the method, t his  may be first theoretical writing about Arp's work.   After analyzing the techniques of the overwhelmingly large number of digital image works, the meaning of art is going to be clear for the first time. As digital images are works of art in your daily life, anyone in any country can see hundreds of times more works than experts who only look at real things. The greatness of Arp finally comes into view.   According to th...

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]  ...
