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 Nude from behind”






Standing Female Nude, Study for Saint Bathilde,



Paul Cézanne. The Bather. c. 1885 | MoMA

The body is composed almost entirely of two types of circular arcs.

 Cézanne appears to have reconstructed visual grammar intuitively, rather than based on artistic knowledge.


Seurat   "Study o Model"



Matisse "Nude drawing"



Picasso "female nude with arm raised"


Almost all of these works can only be viewed online.

With the advent of the AI ​​age, education has been criticized for lagging behind,

but art education lags behind more than other fields.

The commercial art world and the critical world that caters to it are hopeless.

Art lovers who can view works online as artworks are our only hope for the future.

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...

Conditions for art theory to be science

Image
Genuine art theory should be able to explain all  artworks  using the same principles. Great artworks are made of the same elements that can be distinguished visually. Each hole in the vertical flute, said to be the world's oldest musical instrument, produce a different sound.  A series of different sounds is a melody line. Likewise, a good drawing line is a series of line segments with distinct bents. Lines with different bents are arcs of different circles. You can create a picture structure using circles of different sizes.  This is called an arc-circle model. Any artwork can be expressed as arc circle model.   Philosopher of science Karl Popper defined science as "a scientific theory must be capable of being disproved by experiment (objective data). So far, in  the previous blog  I have shown numerous examples (objective data): how all masterpieces are created with the same method based on visual grammar: ancient Greek vase painting...
