Chapter 268 "Art Title" New Mode (4K [-]-in-[-])

"Impressionism?"

"Impression. Impression" Everyone chewed on the root of the word, their eyes lit up more and more.

The composer Lausanne, holding a lady's cigarette in his hand and wearing a rose-colored high-waisted skirt, exhaled a long puff of smoke at this time: "I really can't find a more suitable metaphor for the 'sense of moment' in Mr. Fanning's word." substitutes!"

"Wonderful." Marais, who was pounding a paintbrush in a turpentine bucket, stopped, "Everyone is committed to breaking the traditional vocabulary of romanticism in art or music. All works emphasize outdoor light, color flow, smell atmosphere, The artistic commonality of creative elements such as a momentary emotion. This word is not only a wonderful metaphor, but it is not invented out of thin air, it is also extracted from everyone's existing artistic practice."

Several other people nodded. Indeed, the painters in the unsuccessful salon had more or less named works with the word "impression", and the field of music and poetry also had this tendency.

Virgil crossed his arms and thought: "The previous 'suggestion flow' formulation was too straightforward in some scenarios, and some scenarios lacked a clear connection. Now it is always inappropriate. And the 'impression flow' 'Impressionist music', 'Impressionist painting', 'Impressionist style', 'Impressionist'... all are undoubtedly very appropriate."

Obviously, in subsequent art events, they will all declare themselves to be "impressionists." Fanning watched them talk with a smile.Well, it’s just that “Impressionism” was a derogatory term when it was first proposed in the previous life, and musicians such as Debussy and Ravel never thought of themselves as “Impressionists”. But obviously the artists here agree very much, If an emerging term is spontaneously generated from the inside out, the acceptance will be much higher.

I myself can be considered to have promoted the trend of art development in a similar historical period. The term "future" is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with "basicism" and "romanticism".

"Mr. Fanning, thank you very much for your criticism and support." Lausanne stared at Fanning with brown eyes, "Mr. Vincent's works of art used to guide me spiritually, maybe now I should follow you with practical actions gone."

Virgil said, "May I take the liberty to ask, are you an Impressionist too? No doubt everyone is looking forward to which painting you will refer to in the second half of the last concert, and what kind of work you will write."

"Me?" Faced with this question, Fanning fell into a brief thought.

Any artist, including "New Moon" and even "Torchbearer", is more or less influenced by a specific era.

Either they are a high-level summary of a certain artistic style, reaching the pinnacle to the level of divinity;

Either there have been several stylistic changes in his artistic career, combining the great achievements of the former and pioneering the latter.

It is difficult for individuals to transcend history. No matter what, they always have one or several style labels belonging to the era.

What's more, at the turn of the 9th century of the new calendar, or the turn of the 19th century on Blue Star, the development of art genres is no longer the parallel timeline of "candied haws" from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, and then from Baroque to Classicism. .

——In this old industrial era undergoing drastic changes, the evolution of the artistic trend of "Romanticism-Impressionism-Modernism" is superimposed and staggered on the timeline.

During the same period, some people adhered to the academic vocabulary of the prosperous period of Romanticism, some people pushed Romanticism to the extreme peak, some people planted the acquired techniques on the soil of nationalism, and some people pursued the blurred impressions and emotions of sensuality, light and shadow. Some people will take advantage of the trend and completely disintegrate the 24 major and minor harmony systems
Even when it comes to "modern music", it is a general hodgepodge of concepts, including neoclassicism, expressionism, and modern nationalism. "Atonality" or "twelve-tone sequence" is just a technical tendency rather than a specific genre.

Artists, a group with profound humanistic sensitivities, are too prone to worry and anxiety at the moment.

Various trends of thought and styles collide violently, where should we go?
Fanning couldn't help questioning himself.

Are you a staunch romantic?Or a latent Impressionist?Or borrow the road and become the contemporary style musician of the future?
And the answer to this question is.
"No, I'm totally different."

"I've seen all these things before. Which genre in the West have I never heard of? I don't belong to this world. In other words, my ideas come from the future—I can predict styles that haven't yet appeared."

"In order to express the true feelings of free will, I can use techniques from any period in my artistic career to serve it. Of course, I prefer the extreme vocabulary of the late Romantic framework, but I will write what others think is shocking. The scale of the orchestration and the duration of the performance, as well as expressive terminology instructions that are completely out of the classical category, and it is not ruled out that I will introduce some fuzzy tonal techniques in future works. Still, the resolution is smooth and clear, and there will be no cognitive confusion at all."

Fanning will not be coerced by any musical style or limit his vision. He can write whatever he likes and use whatever techniques are appropriate.

Impressionist style is too advanced?Sorry, even Schoenberg's music doesn't sound "avant-garde" to Fanning's ears in the 21st century.

Learn about overall serialism?Do you understand Neo-Expressionism?Learn about differential music, occasional music, concrete music, noise music, and ambient music?
So facing the questions from Virgil and Lausanne, Fanning smiled lightly, "I appreciate and understand any shining art genres and techniques, but I am just myself."

"Whoa-"

When Fanning named Impressionism, pushed the trend of art history forward, and clarified the proposition about "the relationship between the self and the style of the times", he felt that some spiritual barriers were broken.

The surrounding scene spun briefly, and in a trance, Fan Ning seemed to perceive the high place of the will of the world where the spirit body lived, and seemed to have a tendency to tear apart a "passage".

Could it be that I found the key to a certain door?Fanning in the waking world wasn't quite sure what was going on, and the dizziness passed quickly.

He saw a man and a woman in front of him again, as well as the three painters next to him, all showing deep thought about what he just said.

"It seems that Mr. Fanning still prefers the vocabulary of romanticism. Well, as I once said, romanticism is still in its heyday, and the development of techniques is far from reaching its limit. In this period, not only are there frequent masters, but there are also few masters. conclusion."

Virgil remains respectful, although Fanning seems to indicate that he is not an Impressionist.

"Your talents in the field of composing and conducting are amazing, and you come from the roots of the predecessors of Impressionism painters. No one understands them better than you. Although Mr. Fanning has more followers of Romanticism, I am also willing to be firm. follow you." Lausanne still said so bluntly.

Fanning came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled: "Actually, I will still write an impressionistic orchestral work this time."

This sentence caught everyone's eyes.

"It will meet with you at the last concert, for this 'combination of sound and picture', and also to convey my importance and appreciation for this emerging trend of thought to the art world. In fact, you will find that the "The Third Piano Concerto in C Major" also has many modern elements."

"Really! That's really exciting!" Luosang's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Which painting got your attention?" Virgil asked curiously.

Fanning smiled and turned to look at one of the three paintings he had selected for his collection.

"It's inspiring, isn't it?"

The eyes of the crowd followed, and the painter Claude was delighted to find that Fanning had chosen his own work: "Seascape Gradient"

The size of this painting is a little special, with a height of 60 cm and a width of 140 cm. Although the area is only above average among many paintings, the shape is very wide.

This is a seascape, but the painter made three parts of the gradation process, juxtaposing scenes that cannot appear at the same time in reality:
The ocean on the far left is dark blue and deep, the night seems to be slowly uncovered, the sky is a gradual change from gray to purple and then to cyan, with very few and eye-catching brilliance jumping on the sea level;

In the middle section, the sky is already dawn, the waves on the sea surface are beating, the waves are shining, and the curve drawn by the sea and sky is full of dynamics;

On the far right, lightning and strong winds appeared, and several small boats floated and swayed, presenting a magnificent scene. The viewer seemed to be able to hear the howling of strong winds and raging waves in their ears.

It is a perfect match with Debussy's large-scale orchestral work "The Sea" on the Blue Star.

In Fanning's inspiration, the weak prelude of the strings and the rolling sound of the sea waves from the timpani have appeared, and then the calm tones of the two harps gradually blend with them, so the hazy texture of the dividing line between the sea and the sky is replaced by the French horn and the British sound. Outlined by the tube, a ray of dawn heralds the coming of dawn.
It's it!
Occasionally giving the audience some impressionist repertoire is also in line with the fashion trend of this era.

Several other people were completely incomprehensible to Fan Ning's creative ability, and were greatly shocked.

First they knew that Fanning was writing his own Second Symphony.

Then I wrote several steel associations.

The current vibration of inspiration gave them an intuitive prediction on the spot that what this great composer is brewing is probably another milestone work!

Can he still write?He can still write?
Convince the academics first, and then play impressionism?

Virgil was a little lucky, but fortunately Fanning came to the closing performance, otherwise he would really not be able to bear the psychological pressure of "drive high and go low".

Before parting, Lausanne watched Fan Ning's figure enter the car, then took out his business card and looked at it without blinking.

After visiting the three leading painters, Fan Ning selectively visited the other members of the Lost Salon in Fort Santaram, and then he went non-stop to the Ministry of Culture and Media for the next itinerary.

——Business cooperation negotiation.

He briefly greeted Minister Noel, Secretary Humphrey and other dignitaries, and then entered the pre-arranged negotiation room.

Here, the cultural department has already set up a bridge, and according to Fan Ning's needs, he has made appointments in advance with the heads of several well-known companies in the empire.

Fanning chose the first chaebol: the Kent Motor Company.

It was a negotiation that was permeated with an atmosphere of hope for success from the very beginning.

The heads of these chaebol groups already like to deal with artists of this level.

They also have wealth and titles, and even family members can produce one or two knowledgeable people who are organized by outsiders, but the mysterious power cannot be used to usurp power and rebellion, at most it is to expand their connections in the extraordinary circle of the authorities. What happened can be done cheaply. In the final analysis, these industrial chaebols are more interested in the family's political status and cultural and artistic taste.

However, most art masters have "very personalities". If they want to invite the existence of "Xinyue" to present works for the family, attend activities, and teach their children, if they have neither the background of the master nor the talent enough to be appreciated by the master, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Disaster.If there is no special reason for an existence that can be treated politely by the high-level understanders of all extraordinary organizations, why buy the face of your chaebol?
In contrast, a great/famous artist at the level of "Forging Lion" or "Blade Bearer" has both a small probability of becoming a "New Moon" potential, and a medium probability of being connected to a "New Moon" network, and more important The most important thing is that they are "approachable".

Although I can't get on with the teacher's succession, and I don't have artistic talent, but I can make money to open the way, and marriage is also a good way.

Yes, several chaebol groups today have heard that Fan Ning, a musical genius, is seeking "commercial cooperation", and the central cultural department has made a match to endorse him. They all plan a sponsorship ranging from 5000 to 10000 pounds. And brought the unmarried daughter of the family to the meeting, hoping to get acquainted and make friends.

A great conductor founded an orchestra at a young age. It is normal to be a little tight financially. What kind of complicated business cooperation is it? It’s not a business war business.

Royal aristocrats sponsoring artists has always been a good story, and our plutocratic new aristocrats also have this taste.

It's the best of both worlds to book a future work dedication and get some acknowledgment and courtesy for the family at the Turner Art Hall event.

Well, if Mr. Conductor thinks the amount is not enough, you might as well consider discussing it with the young and beautiful lady sitting across from you.

Such as the first Kent Motor Company.

That's how the conversation really went in the first place.

The trend also develops according to such a trend.

Until Fanning said that he wanted to play something different.

In the brightly lit and elegantly decorated circular negotiation room, Fan Ning on the main sofa held rose water and asked with a smile:

"Have you ever heard of 'art naming'?"
