对古老规则的突破： It is not difficult to sense in the figures the lingering influence of the rules which governed Egyptian art. But we feel that the greatness, the majestic calm and strength which belong to Greek sculpture, are also due to this observance if ancient rules. For these rules had ceased to be a hinderance, cramping the artist's freedom. The old idea that it was important to show t...
Children sometimes think that stars must be star-shaped，though naturally they are not. The people who insist that in a picture the sky must be blue, and the grass green, are not very different from these children.They get indignant if they see other colours in a picture,but if we try to forget all we have heard about green grass and blue skies, and look at the world as if we had just arrived f...
They may heard of that Rembrandt was famous for his chiaroscuro which is the Italian technical term for light and shade- so they nod wisely when they see a Rembrandt, mumble ' wonderful chiaroscuro', and wander on to the next picture. I want to be quite frank about this danger of half-knowledge and snobbery, for we are all apt to succumb to such temptations, and a book like this could increase ...
Of course, the fact that a thing was difficult to make does not necessarily prove that it is a work of art. If it were so, the men who make models of sailing ships in glass bottles would rank among the greatest artists. But this proof of tribal skill should warn us against the belief that their work looks odd because they cannot do any better. It is not their standard of craftsmanship which is ...
What an artist worries about as he plans his pictures,makes his sketches,or wonders whether he has completed his canvas,is something much more difficult to put into words.Perhaps he would say he worries about whether he got it 'right'.Now it is only when we understand what he means by that modest little word 'right' that we begin to understand what artists are really after.
It is clear that Van Gogh was not mainly concerned with correct representation.He used colours and forms to convey what he felt about the things he painted,and what he wished others to feel.He would exaggerate and even change the appearance of things if this suited his aim.Thus he had arrived by a different road at a juncture similar to that at which Cézanne found himself during these same yea...
Introduction There really is no such thing as Art. There are only artists. There are two things, which we should always ask ourselves if we find fault with the accuracy of a picture. One is whether the artist may not have had his reasons for changing the appearance of what he saw. The other is that we should never condemn a work for being incorrectly drawn unless we have made quite sure that w...
