How to appreciate body art? (The more convinced the answer, the better)

The art of the human body is a celebration of the value of human beings themselves, free from the external social characteristics such as race, occupation, and inferiority or superiority marked by clothing. It distills the image of the human being into the purest "human being" without any additional symbols.

Accurately speaking, the current term "body art" is not quite accurate. Artistic creations are categorized according to various themes, such as auditory, visual, and stylistic. The general meaning of "body art" is all the paintings, sculptures, photographs and other artistic creations and behaviors related to the human body.

"Is the human body beautiful or not, and is body art not art?" This is an artistic process of discovery for the human body in human history.

"Nothing in nature has more character than the human body. The human body, because of its force, or because of its beauty, can evoke all kinds of different imagery." ---- Rodin

"The human body, the fullest, most sincere and unobtrusive expression of man's passions and inner spirituality." ---- Soviet female sculptor: Mukhina

"One sees filth in a beautiful human body only if one has a dirty mind." ---- Mukhina

The reason why the human body is the most beautiful is that there is no line or outline more vivid, soft, varied and rhythmic than the lines and whorls of the human body; there is no volume or form more proportional, powerful, elastic and rhythmic than the volume and undulation of the human body; and there is no color more vivid, moist, transparent, lustrous and alive than the skin color of the human body. There is no color more tender, moist, transparent, glossy and more sense of life than the human skin color.

The human body is beautiful, body art is the crystallization of human beauty. Today, because the human body has a special aesthetic value, in addition to sculpture, painting, people have been in the movie, photography, ballet and gymnastics, swimming, skating, and other arts and sports, with a variety of different languages to express, create, praise the beauty of the human body. It not only brings people the enjoyment of artistic beauty, but also cultivates people's aesthetic sentiment and artistic interest. We are convinced that as long as mankind is the pursuit of beauty, as long as art is the expression of beauty, then body art will also radiate a more brilliant light! The key to body art is to express a sense of beauty or a mood through the picture, the difference between art and pornography is not in the appearance but in the connotation, in the field of fine arts, "body art" refers to the artist's own body as the subject matter to convey the main body of specific ideas, concepts, psychological and emotional activities of the carrier or the medium of expression of a kind of art. Forms. It appeared in the 1960s. In a broad sense, body art is also known as "behavioral art". That is, it is only the behavioral artist who takes his own body as the expression media of his creation to be displayed to the public, and it becomes a behavioral art work. Body art is due to people's own facial expressions, body posture and movement of the grace of the growing love and birth. It is also the creative behavior of modern artists who rebel against the traditional concepts of art such as "easel painting". The human body artists often show - or in their own skin to make some fire hot patterns and unusual mark signs; or their bare skin in the strong sunlight for a long time to be exposed to the sun, to achieve the roasted red such as Guan Yu like a rosy skin color; or their own beautiful head of wisdom of the hair with the fire to attack remove it; or down-to-earth practice once!

Body art is an aesthetic art that conveys a particular idea with the body

Body art is not the same as nudity

Body art should not be carnal and vulgar

Good works should be appreciated by the works of the strong creative ideas of the infected, rather than just see a body.

To be more clear, good body art, or real body art is

When we appreciate it, it is more about the beauty of the work than the sexuality of the work!

It is a kind of spiritual enjoyment that pleases the eye or shocks the heart!

We should be grateful to God for all the beauty in the world, and even more grateful to God for giving mankind a double gift: the picturesque shape of the human body and the touch of the soul to feel all that beauty. Artists have magically created the ultimate in epic richness and grandeur for the human body. Please feel and appreciate it with an artistic eye.

But there must be some deeper meaning for the connoisseur to realize.

"Body art" is not a Chinese invention. It originated in Italy and France in the 15th and 16th centuries, after the Renaissance, and utilized ancient mythological themes to create art that, on the one hand, expresses the beauty of the human body itself, and on the other hand, expresses the truth, goodness, and badness of society and human nature. Its emergence broke all the restrictions imposed on the human body by early religious abstinence. In China. For many years, there has been no creation on the theme of "body art". If you have to say there is, but only some folk pictures of the erotic palace, medical demonstration of the textbook material or simulation illustrations. Decades ago, Liu Haili opened the Chinese body art precedent, the mannequins for the first time to the studio and thus persecuted by the warlord Sun Chuanfang, this thing to this day still let many Chinese people are fond of. In fact, Liu Haili had not gone abroad when he started to use mannequins, but he was already influenced by European culture and began to try to bring the expression of European body art to China. That was the early Chinese body art. After the reform and opening up, the Chinese people's thinking further opened up, and the aesthetic concept further improved. The convergence with international art has made many people begin to recognize, accept, and devote themselves to body art. The acceptance of the masses is also more tolerant and enlightened.

From a certain point of view, the degree of development of "body art" is a test of the degree of civilization of a country's standard, can be seen in a country of the general public's aesthetic taste and degree of civilization. Indeed. We now see more and more under the guise of art of the so-called body art. Many commercial activities are "body art" as a gimmick, fanfare for some crude so-called art performance, and some people use some stirring, stimulating words to lure the audience. In their words, it is "cultural stage, economic opera". In this, art is only a stage, the real protagonist is the economy, is the interests, this is now a series of popular body art of the truth. What I want to say is that a real artist will not create such works. The authors of those works are not good artists, let alone good artists, and the artists themselves are so unreliable that they do not exhibit the human body from an artistic point of view at all, but simply display it as a completely pure human body, a completely lived-in human body.

Nudity is not necessarily body art, which are two different concepts, some people confuse nudity and body art is not right. The so-called body art, refers to the artist to use the human body as an art language and art medium, to express the artist's thoughts and feelings of art works. That is to say, the nude body is only used by the artist to express their own artistic ideas and emotions, nude body to become body art, otherwise, just a pure nude body.

The difference between body art and pornography

In 1917, the Shanghai Institute of Fine Arts caused a sensation by choosing mannequins and displaying sketches of the human body, which "stirred up the whole country". 1988, the "Oil Painting Exhibition of Body Art" in Beijing, as well as Chen Drunk's exhibition of body art in oil paintings, were also held. In 1988, Beijing's "Oil Painting Exhibition of Body Art", as well as the publication of Chen Drunk's "Theory of Nude Art" and the incident of female model Chen Suhua being driven mad, all "stirred up the whole country". Body art in China after a whole century of "sensational", finally in the new century is no longer so "sensational". In the 21st century, the art of body photography is no longer mysterious, no longer a ferocious beast. Bookstores, newsstands on the body art albums are rarely asked, is no longer a best-selling books; body photography art exhibitions are no longer "10,000 people empty alleys," scrambling to see the strange to see the fun, into the exhibition hall of the audience, really for the "art" to come, rather than for the "human body" to come. The "human body" to come; is for the aesthetic, rather than for the voyeurism. Famous art master Liu Haisu is China's advocate of "body art" pioneer, he has a unique insight into the "human body", once said "the human body is the beauty of the beauty of the most beautiful". Beauty is art, human beauty is a noble art. Seeing the full nude photo album suddenly upset, too allergic. China's youth sex education, sexual contact relative to the West, or relatively late, which is related to national traditions, sexual values and moral standards. This is related to national traditions, sexual values and moral standards, etc. Only after a long time, commonplace, will slowly accept. Let's say that the ancient Chinese people do not smoke, to the Ming Dynasty, after being regarded as a flood, and then strictly prohibited, gradually accepted, relaxation of the ban. Nowadays, you can't ban it even if you want to. Nowadays, people will evaluate the shape of the smoke ring, the delicacy of the pipe, the characteristics of the tobacco, origin, just like a comprehensive art. At the same time, we should also recognize that some nude photo albums are not body art, and real "body art" can give people the "beauty" of enjoyment, "true" shock, "Good" enlightenment, "love" thinking, rather than obscene, primitive impulse. Art and "pornography" are closely related. Without "pornography", how can there be art? Without the public's psychological and ethical appraisal, can the aesthetics of art exist independently? Pornography has never been art, art has never been higher than pornography.
