The universal grammar: Seurat and Raphael used the same compositional device

 


In the digital age, works of art are digital images.

You cannot understand the art simply by viewing the actual *Girl with a Pearl Earring* , which is currently shown in Japan very popularly, a few times.

It is just like music, where repeatedly experiencing recorded performances is essential.

Art education is ineffective; instead of teaching how to draw, we should teach how to see.

One must first become an art lover.

In the age of AI, mastering technical skills has become meaningless.

Commercial exhibitions at art museums have failed to keep pace with the digital age; digital images should be made accessible to everyone online.

This work, housed at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, can now be viewed online.





Seurat "Model"


Although some contours are not clear, all the outlines must have been drawn geometrically.

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...

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...

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...
