Chapter 775 Manstein
The whole school of CAFA is not big, and the Academy of Oil Painting is even smaller. Pengpeng has already become familiar with several studios, so the part of visiting the Academy of Oil Painting is really meaningless to Pengpeng.

When Wu Ziyun brought a group of people to various studios, the seniors and sisters winked at each other when they saw Pengpeng, but because of today's occasion, they didn't come up to say hello to Pengpeng.

"This is the main studio of our first studio. The first studio was established in the 60s, and it has been more than 60 years. The first studio advocates serious research on the European painting tradition between the Western Renaissance and post-impressionism , and conscientiously study China's excellent painting traditions, and embark on a new path based on the tradition of writing poems and painting firmly."

Wu Ziyun was halfway through his introduction, when he suddenly remembered that the audience in front of him were either parents with no background in art, or children who hadn’t studied art for long, and what he just said seemed to have no effect on them.

So he adjusted his way of explaining. He pointed to an oil painting on the wall and said, "This is an early work by the famous German painter Manstein. Manstein was born in 1802, and this work is Created in 1834, before Impressionism…”

Zhang Chong has seen this work by Manstein many times, and almost every time he comes, he will stop and look at it for a while. The name of this painting is "Water Waves", and the whole painting is only the sparkling lake surface and the distant glow.

The glow reflected on the water is like the unclear light captured by an old camera in an instant, which is already a bit impressionistic.

You must know that the era when this painting was created was the first half of the [-]th century. At that time, the center of Western art—the French painting circle was still dominated by the official academic school, and paintings like Manstein’s were very unpopular. To be seen.

Not being seen by the academics means that his paintings cannot be exhibited in official salons, which means that he cannot let others know him, cannot become famous and cannot make money.

But in the end, Manstein did not become a pioneer of Impressionism, because apart from this "Water Wave", he never created other innovative works that broke the rules.

People regard his behavior as a compromise with the official academic school, a compromise with money and fame, so that the later Impressionist painters did not like him, even though he was the first to break the academic style.

Because of these histories, every time Zhang Zhong sees this painting, he doesn't regret it.

The first to eat crabs is often called a warrior, but there are exceptions like Manstein.

He made a mistake in not continuing to eat crabs.

Zhang Zhong thinks that people are too harsh on him, and it is too unfair to restrain him on a high moral platform and flog him.

At least Manstein also opened the door to a new world for people.

However, just because he walked out of that new world, people who later entered that new world can scoff at him, which is unreasonable.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Manstein was not popular at both ends, I am afraid that the first studio of CAFA Academy of Oil Painting would not have been able to get this painting.

In fact, before Zhang Chong had thought about asking the Academy of Oil Painting if he was willing to part with it, and he was willing to pay a reasonable price for this painting.

But later he dismissed this idea, he has passed the stage of bothering to collect.Now that he knew that asking the Academy of Oil Painting to give up the painting was a cut-off, there was absolutely no need to be so selfish, and it would be good for him to come and see it every once in a while.

……

Everyone followed Wu Ziyun through several studios. After listening to him introduce the characteristics of the studio, the parents were still a little confused.

Of course they have heard of the Renaissance and Impressionism, but having heard of them and knowing what they are are two completely different things.

Relatively speaking, children hear a little more than they do.

It's not about hearing more, it's about seeing more.

Adults pay attention to Wu Ziyun's explanation, but children pay more attention to the painting itself. They can feel the charm of the painting itself without deliberately listening to Wu Ziyun's explanation.

No matter how much the teacher talks, it is not as good as the students themselves feel.

Even a person who has never received professional training will develop an artistic sense after looking at famous paintings every day.

Just like Pengpeng, this girl is not the type who loves to learn anyway, but since she entered elementary school, her studies have not fallen behind, especially her Chinese scores are better than ordinary people.

There is no other reason, it's just that she can read books every day, and she has learned from it.

After the visit, Wu Ziyun brought his children and parents back to the main studio of the No. [-] studio. The space here is large, and it will not look crowded when everyone goes in.

Wu Ziyun stood in front of a drawing board and said with a smile, "The second process of this event is for me to take you to experience the class atmosphere of the oil painting academy. All the young painters present have teachers, and your teachers may have different styles. It is not the same, so I will only talk about the most basic things in today’s class. Some painters think that basic skills are not important. I don’t object to this, but before thinking that basic skills are not important, I think everyone still You need to know what the basic skills are. You can’t just blindly deny the basic skills like some people who don’t even know what the basic skills are, that’s not right..."

The class was about to start, and the students were quite happy, but the happiest were the students from the oil painting academy in the first studio.

Those parents didn't know Wu Ziyun, but they all did.

It is very rare to be able to listen to Dean Wu give a lecture, so they are more active than those children.

The following process will take a long time. Zhang Zhong walked out of the oil painting academy after talking to his parents and Xu Yuhan.

Instead of listening to Wu Ziyun's class here and waiting for Pengpeng and the others to draw, he might as well go to the Chinese Painting Academy to have a look. He is already addicted to the tea in the Chinese Painting Academy.

Went to the Academy of Chinese Painting, did not find He Ruchu in the dean's office, so he went to the calligraphy teaching and research section, Xu Hai was not there, but he had no choice but to go to the landscape, flower and bird teaching and research section.

Fortunately, he didn't miss out this time, and both Xu Hai and Liang Xiao were there.

When Zhang Zhong arrived, Xu Hai and Liang Xiao were chatting around a painting.

"I just said that you have too many distracting thoughts in this painting, and the messy flowers and plants are too eye-catching." Xu Hai pointed at the painting with a pipe in his hand.

Now the weather is still a bit cold, so Xu Hai naturally wouldn't just wear an undershirt, but he didn't leave his pipe.

Hearing Xu Hai's words, Liang Xiao became anxious, "You know nothing."
