A beautiful article about art?

From distant ancient Greece to modern art for thousands of years, we can see countless artistic masterpieces that shine with strange brilliance and occupy an important position in history, and realize their eternal charm by shaping the beauty of the human body. This is particularly evident in western sculpture and painting. Today, people are more curious than admiration and excitement when they see these human works. Some people will have questions, and some people will be puzzled. How to appreciate these body art works?

The human body, especially the youthful, healthy and energetic human body, is the most perfect part of nature with its symmetrical shape, balanced proportion, vivid lines, harmonious movements, skin color and muscle elasticity.

The main object of art is people, the pursuit of art is beauty, and plastic arts infect people through visual images, so the beauty of human body naturally becomes an important theme expressed by artists. As early as in ancient Greece, the beauty of the human body was widely valued and even worshipped. The ancient Greeks believed that the human body was the most beautiful, and it was their greatest dedication to show the gods the human body. Therefore, in sports and competitions, men often boast about the bodybuilding of the human body in nude, and artists often carve the bodybuilding images of slaves, hunters and competitors in nude, and it is not difficult to understand that they use the images of idealized and perfect people to shape the supreme gods in their minds. Today, who is not amazed at the masterpiece "The Discus Thrower", which vividly shows its power! It shows the beauty, magnificence, roughness and masculinity of male bodybuilding.

The reason why the human body is the most beautiful is that there are no lines and outlines that are more vivid, softer, more varied and more rhythmic than the lines and corridors of the human body. Nothing is more symmetrical, powerful, elastic and rhythmic than the ups and downs of the human body. No color is more tender, moist, transparent, shiny and energetic than human skin color. Western artists use traditional realistic techniques to truly reproduce objective objects. In order to reproduce the truth, we use color and shading modeling, reasonable composition, scientific perspective and colorimetry to make the image more stereoscopic and realistic. The invention of oil painting enables painting masters to show the beauty of human body's lines, contours, volume, shape, elasticity, rhythm and skin color in front of people. French painter Angel's oil painting Fountain vividly shows the pure beauty of a vibrant girl. The oil painting Sleeping Venus by Italian painter giorgione is like a beautiful and moving dream, full of lyrical flavor. Renoir's famous painting "Woman in the Bath" and degas's masterpiece "Woman with Clean Head" highlight the smooth back lines, bloody skin and noble and elegant posture, which still give people high artistic enjoyment. These works show the beauty, exquisiteness, charm and femininity of women.

The artistic function is based on pleasure, emphasizing the combination of artistic understanding and educational function. Aphrodite of Milos gives people a strong sense of beauty, except that her face has the typical characteristics of Greek beauty and her body has the characteristics of female beauty. Her graceful figure, solemn and elegant, embodies youth, bodybuilding, purity and abundant vitality, and is a symbol of the unity of physical beauty and spiritual beauty. In the Russian era, a prisoner lost confidence in life in a desperate predicament. When he was dying, the image of Aphrodite suddenly appeared in his mind. Her peaceful and kind beauty made him deeply feel the noble dignity of human beings, and he quickly summoned up the courage to live and gave up the idea of death. This is the power of art!

From the perspective of visual thinking, modern art psychology points out that human vision is also a kind of thinking, which almost instinctively tends to those forms that are from non-equilibrium to balance, from chaos to order, full of change and rhythm. And the human body has this high degree of formal beauty. The mystery of Engel's famous painting Spring lies in the artist's grasp of the subtle relationship between the internal forces of the human body: the girl's shoulders tilt to the left and her crotch tilt to the right, the upward force and the downward pitcher, the right knee bends forward and the left leg stretches backward, all of which reflect the force to break and restore balance; Especially the girl's naked body shows an open posture, while her tightly clamped thighs and hands clasping the pitcher imply inner shyness and formality, giving people a wonderful sense of confrontation. Arouse the corresponding tension and relaxation in the senses of the audience, and experience the vitality of life between relaxation and relaxation. It can be seen that every group of muscles and posture in human body art can become a style of beautiful life and a high summary of vitality. As Rodin said: "Nothing in' nature' has more character than the human body."

Body art has a long history and is full of vitality in the west, which has become an eternal creative theme. In the process of human modeling, it shows the subtlest meaning and artistic charm of natural objects, and visually gives the appreciation subject a beautiful feeling. Courbet, a master of French realistic painting, used female bodies to express fountains, expressing emotion. The girl taking a leisurely bath sat on the rock with her back to the audience. She dipped her left foot in the mountain spring and teased the spring with her left hand. Spring seems to ring in her ears, and she feels the beauty of hearing from her own vision. As Courbet said, "Good things exist in nature and are presented in the most diverse realistic forms. Once it is discovered, it belongs to art, or to the artist who discovered it. As long as something beautiful is real and visible, it has its own artistic expression. " Courbet's Spring is full of artistic charm in the use of colors, which makes people feel authentic and vivid. Natural scenery is like this. People live in this natural environment, and their lives are colorful and better, which is the direct object of vision. The key is that artists have created "living art". Life comes from mother, and mother is connected with the earth. Courbet's works make people feel a kind of hope and yearning for returning to the embrace of nature, and are attracted by the great attraction of the human body when life and nature are integrated.

Western artists' human body works, some praise love, some praise the beauty of human body, some praise life, which embodies the affirmation and praise of human nature. These works have high aesthetic value. Looking back, we can say that without human works of art, there would be no glorious chapter in the history of world art, however, truth, goodness and beauty always develop in the struggle against falsehood, ugliness and ugliness. Some human bodies in western human works are not exposed, but they are vulgar. Although it is based on beautiful myths, it is intended to be realistic, artificial and please the audience, and the audience's aesthetic requirements are suppressed. We watch human works in order to feel the beauty of human art. Whoever looks at human works with vulgar eyes is ugly. Mugina, a famous sculptor, put it well: "Clothes and curtains can't stop the eyes of mediocre people and change the ugly mind of low taste."

Human body is beautiful, and human body art is the crystallization of human body beauty. Today, due to the special aesthetic value of human body beauty, besides sculpture and painting, people also express, create and praise human body beauty in various languages in movies, photography, ballet and gymnastics, swimming, skating and other arts and sports. It not only brings people the enjoyment of artistic beauty, but also cultivates people's aesthetic taste and artistic taste. Although China's body art started late, it has developed rapidly, and there are more and more excellent body movements and body photographs. Once thousands of years of feudal shackles are completely liberated, people will completely break with backward traditional concepts. We are convinced that as long as human beings are pursuing beauty and as long as art is expressing beauty, then human body art will radiate more brilliant brilliance!
