Transition from the era of reproduction art to the era of digital 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.

Art 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/"Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' 1907

Let's try making a model of the drawing on the left.




I made the second largest arc-circle model of "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' 


I can clearly see that there are more gently curving curves, but no clear circular structure is visible.

If the essence of art is the invention of new structures, then the form of a nude with her arms behind her head is much closer to the ideal form.

I look forward to seeing the art theory after the essence of the work has been verified using a model.

History is rewritten with newly discovered materials.

Until the first half of the twentieth century, art was considered a compulsory subject in education.

This was marred by the invention of ideologies through the hasty self-assertion of art dealers and journalists.

It is self-evident that art theory must be redone through philosophical consideration of its essential form.

Cezanne aimed to completely design shapes

Image
(I quote from the previous blog.   Tuesday, January 22, 2019) visual grammar (visible grammar): How modern was Cezanne syntactically? A picture usually started for drawing animal and human shapes. The shapes always become simplified. There are several steps in formalization of drawing. The artists' awareness of shape develops like these:   1) A string of line is made of a chain of curves each of which has different            curvature.   2) A curve with a single curvature is an arc.   3) The circles which are the extension of the arcs can be easily adjusted to have balance.   4) The number of circles should be small to be harmonious.   5) The crossing point of the circles is important for balancing.   6) The crossing  point on a line makes unified look.   7)  The unit of a circle and vertical-horizontal diameters makes easier to control the whole balance. It is almost unbelievable that Cez...

new art theory based on huge amount of digital images

Image
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...

One of the necessary conditions for a masterpiece in the AI era is uniqueness of each artwork

When you pick up a Picasso catalog raisonné, you'll find that works like "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon'' in the museum aren't necessarily masterpieces. The selection of works in museums is simply because they had the opportunity to acquire them. Critics and the general public have praised the collection because it is easy to see.   When I was in New York, gallery shows weren't very interesting. Instead, I enjoyed going to the Strand bookstore once or twice a day and looking for art books. Now, every time I open Twitter five or six times a day, I find new images and copy them.   There is no need to see the original work. A masterpiece is a work that is copied for seeing the image again and again. When you start thinking about where and how the joy of viewing comes from, you become a critic. I have written several blogs about Picasso. All of the digital image I used for this purpose was found online. Nowadays, it can be said that digita...
