A Review of Benigni's The Power of Art

The BBC's The Power of Art, which won the international Emmy Award for the best art festival, tells the creative process of eight masters of art, including Rembrandt, Benigni, Van Gogh and Picasso, with the remolding of drama, spectacular photography and Simon Martha's unique narrative style.

Art must be powerful, but not all artists are virtuous and artistic. With poetic language and perfect pictures, The Power of Art completely summarizes the names that shine brilliantly in the art world, but they all have a special feature, pursuing their own works and completely listening to their inner voices.

Caravaggio wrote about David with Goliath's head in his hand. With this photo full of atonement, this manic man hopes to be pardoned. He is both a genius and a villain. Talent, fame and fortune made him unruly, moody, aggressive, drunk and vendetta all his life, and the uniqueness of his works found extraordinary holiness in the life of sinners. He is also a sinner. His journey of atonement was long and ups and downs, and he had an indissoluble bond with prison all his life. In order to catch up with the ship that had left, because there was David with Goliath's head painted on it, he made atonement for forgiveness. He walked in the hot sun for seven days, and finally died on the way to atone.

Rembrandt, who insisted on art, spent a lot of money in the first half of his life, and all his art was dedicated to the rich financiers in Amsterdam. His paintings are a tool for dignitaries to show off. Rembrandt, seeking artistic breakthrough, was abandoned by the flashy mainstream culture. At that time, he was bankrupt and broke. Rembrandt was entrusted by Amsterdam city government at the low point of his life. If he caters to the grand mainstream art at the end of the road, the salted fish will turn over just around the corner. It's just that he followed his inner artistic power, and the picture depicting the history of the founding of the Netherlands was wild and uninhibited in his hands. This is the artistic essence he saw, and the result can be imagined. After the painting was rejected, he raised his knife and slashed it at his painstaking work. Resisting kitsch, in his lifetime after understanding, strongly shows that art is not necessarily pleasing to the eye.

Benigni has a pair of talented hands, and the cold marble shows pure and true joy under his meticulous care. Benigni was born handsome. In Rome, where Caravaggio's works flooded, he turned to sculpture. Balomini, who is evenly matched with him, is just not as handsome and elegant as Benigni, and is popular with women. Benigni's mistake in building the bell tower of St. Paul's Church made Balomini spit out the evil spirits that he had been holding in his heart for fifteen years. He has been living in the shadow of Benigni. He collected all the wrong evidence of Benigni and gave it to the church. The same excellent genius, they will not appreciate each other, just wait for each other to show flaws, and they will be punished. Benigni's selfishness and harshness, as well as his mistakes, caused his reputation to plummet. His mistress constance had an affair with his brother, and he almost killed his own brother in St Paul's church. The woman who had an affair with his two brothers was disfigured by Benigni and imprisoned for adultery. The beautiful statue of konstanz, which was once displayed in Benigni's palm, is now in the Valjero Museum in Florence. Benigni's decline was reversed in his later years, and the ecstasy of the Virgin Tirzah made him regain his glory. Nuns' desire for God, from physical desire to spiritual desire, is strongly and violently reflected by men in Benigni. It shows people's common desire, which has been concealed, but has become bold and crazy under Benigni's meticulous work. After Benigni regained his reputation, his opponent Baromini committed suicide.

Vincent Van Gogh's painting is a helpless gesture, resisting the madness of life. A seemingly gloomy person has a burning heart. Van Gogh, who sold only one painting in his life, kept painting between hope and despair, and invited Gauguin, who he especially admired, to come to France to create together. It was only a short month before they parted ways. On the day Gauguin left, Van Gogh cut off his earlobe and sent it to Gauguin's brothel. Van Gogh, who suffered from epilepsy and mental pain, clearly knew that his body didn't know when he was crazy. He had to stick to painting to avoid the inevitable mental attack. Van Gogh was most keenly aware of the world between attacks, which made him desperate and gave him a chance to live. Those turbulent images are not the product of his madness, but the result of his struggle with madness.

Jacques Louis David was blinded by power, which is not only an aphrodisiac for men, but also an aphrodisiac for art and Jacques Louis David's artistic energy. Once he is addicted to power, he is doomed to be a political bumpy life. Art is a powerful tool for him, and he can't extricate himself all his life. Death of marat is a great work, but it is a lie. Jacques Louis David reminds me of Hu Lancheng, a man who had ups and downs in politics and finally died in a foreign land.

Picasso, who has been pestering women, changed his artistic goal because of the Spanish civil war massacre. Guernica, written in 1930s, shows the greatness of artistic humanity. War is both destruction and reconstruction. Dead babies, sad women, and sad sobs of life reproduce the cruel despair of war.

In 2003, at a press conference on the American war against Iraq, the copy of guernica was blocked by a big curtain, which was said to be afraid of distracting the participants. The power of art will not be weakened by the passage of time. At any time, justice will always appear as a king, although it has been humiliated and trampled on in the past years.

Mark rothko, an American abstract painter, is Jewish. He insisted that the lights on the scene must be exaggerated. In such a space, the gloomy and heavy color blocks seem to touch the edge of time. Mark rothko was too obsessed with his inner world and the kingdom of the dead. The scarlet and dark red building blocks seemed to be a door, open and closed. Death or life. He seems to be building a bridge and exploring the process of life. Shortly after refusing to sell his paintings for the Four Seasons Restaurant in West Gram, he accepted an invitation from a German museum director to attend an art exhibition in Germany, saying that if they built a atonement church for the Jewish Holocaust, even a tent, he could paint for free. However, it has never been realized. After thirty years of poverty, he is still anxious in the years of fame and fortune. 1970 On February 25th, he committed suicide in his studio in central London.

There is a burning fire in the soul of every genius, and they are obsessed with it, crazy, sinking, destroying and reborn. Time easily destroys the body, and the artistic power and even the power of human nature generated in those ordinary bodies are endless in the long river of history.

There is no absolute nobility, only absolute art, and the creators of those works honed in the melting pot of time are not perfect or even incomplete. However, people who have been rolling in the dark for a long time can experience the brightest light in their souls.
