On the afternoon of the last working day of 20 18, the cold wind was cold outside the office window, but the sun was shining. The amazing taste of lunch sticking to the tip of the tongue became the annual summary of Qingxi canteen. At this moment, wandering between food and beauty; At this moment, I am in a trance in dreams and reality.
Finger quicksand, blink of an eye. This year, life is mixed and work is close at hand. Fortunately, the task was completed one day ahead of schedule. As a small self-encouragement, I recharged my QQ video members, quietly looked at my beloved Van Gogh, and fulfilled my wish to be one year late. "Starry Night" single cycle, a cup of blue mountain coffee warms people's hearts, floats for a long time, and the starry sky is eternal.
As an apprentice who once picked up a paintbrush, as an audience who believed in the truth, goodness and beauty of art, I couldn't help but burst into tears after watching "the world's first hand-painted oil painting movie". Looking at the comment area again, there are well-intentioned and accurate comments and malicious and biased criticisms. Others asked what is the significance of this dazzling film made by 125 painters through hand-painted 65,000 oil paintings for six years? The world likes Vincent inexplicably. Is it arty or has another purpose? All kinds of questions and puzzles make me think secretly, why do all beings love Van Gogh? If you use Vincent himself, maybe you can try to answer one or two questions.
(2) There is treasure in your heart.
After embarking on the road of art, Vincent wrote his first letter to his younger brother Theo, in which he wrote: "What kind of person do I look like in this world? He is a nobody, an insignificant and annoying guy. Such people have no place in society now and in the future. In a word, I am the lowest inferior. But even if this has become an indisputable fact, one day I will use my works to show the world that I am a nobody, a mere untouchable, with treasure in my heart and brilliant talent. "
Vincent painted for ten years, and created 900 oil paintings and 65,438+065,438+000 sketches. He was praised by later generations as "the pioneer of post-impressionism", with numerous fame and fans. Dr. Gachet, written by him as a friend and doctor, sold for $82.5 million at Christie's 1990. Recently, the market valuation even rose to $65,438+52 million. However, Vincent only sold one work, The Red Vineyard, for 400 francs, depicting the scene of a peasant woman picking vines in a small French town in southern arles. He boldly painted the vines expressive orange-red. Is it to persist in artistic pursuit, or to succumb to secular vision, to be born as a human being, and how to survive? Is the biggest problem he faces in his life.
It can be said that no matter how small our ego is, one of the reasons why we love Vincent is to pursue our ideals and realize the value of life and have this persistent and enterprising belief in life.
(3) Golden light
In the note at the end of the film, Vincent wrote: "On the Death, I saw death, but the scene was not sad. Everything is bathed in the sun, shining with golden light. " Margaret, the confidante in the film, said that Vincent would appreciate those delicate and beautiful flowers, even those thin branches and thick leaves. Life is nothing trivial or vulgar to him, he can appreciate and love everything.
1853 On March 30th, Vincent was born in the Dutch village of Dherdt. He had a rough life and a lot of fate. As the second son, when he was a teenager, his parents were immersed in the grief of his eldest son's death for a long time, unable to pay attention to his growth and gave him little education in love. Perhaps it is unfortunate that it conforms to Balbi's "attachment theory", which finally creates his sensitive and melancholy character. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he interrupted his basic education. One year later, I worked as an intern at an international art fair, and then moved to The Hague, London, Paris and other places to work as a gallery assistant. At the age of 25, in order to cater to the wishes of the priest's father, he went to a missionary school and became a missionary, but he was fired because he didn't have a license to preach to poor mining workers. At the age of 27, he began his career as a painter. At the age of 37, he was suffering from mental illness and was afraid of becoming a burden to his brother Theo. He shot himself and died two days later.
It can be said that no matter how the world changes, we are not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, and love all life. Having this kind and tolerant belief in life is one of the reasons why we love Vincent.
(4) Bright stars
In his last letter to his younger brother before committing suicide, Vincent said, "Whenever I look up at the starry sky, I always think of it. I asked myself, why can't we touch the little stars in this sky? " Is it possible for human beings to go to that bright star through the road of death? "Feng Zikai once wrote in the Biography of Van Gogh:" He is just an ordinary man, and his life is even more difficult than yours and mine. "
A firm and ideal brush, two affectionate brothers, three endless relationships and different painting styles in four places have created countless famous classic paintings such as Starry Sky and Sunflower. Vincent died of poverty, loneliness and depression before his death, and became famous after his birth. He dedicated his painstaking paintings and hard life to the lonely and struggling lives in the world, comforting one soul after another who could not extricate himself under the starry sky.
It can be said that no matter how unpredictable the future is, one of the reasons why we love Vincent is to forget fame and fortune, always look up at the stars and have this open-minded and persistent belief in life.
(5) attachment to the world
Vincent wrote in a letter explaining "Starry Sky" to his younger brother Theo: "When I draw a sun, I want people to feel that it is spinning at an amazing speed, and it is emitting terrible light and heat waves ... When I draw an apple tree, I want people to feel that the juice in the apple is spreading the apple skin and the seeds in the core are trying to bear fruit. If there are no infinite, profound and real things in my life, I will no longer be attached to this world. " However, how can we live without infinite, profound and real things?
I am small, the world is vicissitudes, and my future is uncertain. When all sentient beings are faced with such life problems, we sincerely thank Vincent for coming to the afterlife-for comforting our wandering and lonely souls, for guiding us to appreciate the real world, for urging us to think deeply about life, and for inspiring us to look up at the infinite starry sky.
At this time, the twilight outside the window, the city lights dim. Layers of fog cover the starry sky overhead, but looking up at the starry sky in human history, the dark clouds will immediately disperse and the Milky Way will suddenly become beautiful. Everyone was drunk and I woke up alone. Qu Yuan, Wang Yangming, a genius for doing good and eliminating evil, Socrates who defended the truth with his life, Nietzsche who saved his life with art, Marx who served mankind with knowledge ... The sober people and sages in the past were forgotten, and this thank-you list is undoubtedly really long.
Van Gogh's robbery made all beings equal. Born to be human, the starry sky is eternal!
