What is an artist?

What is an artist? It is from conscious art to artistic consciousness, and from art to art becomes extremely difficult. The artist's job is to make art personalized. Art has no transcendence, only differences. Successful people show themselves in different ways. The artist's personality charm has become the soul of his art. How to turn personality charm into individual art? Artists have their own secrets. Create a world by our own efforts. This world is not a replica of the real world. Wisdom shines everywhere, and talent overflows everywhere; All colors are language; All voices are spiritual, and all spaces are full of imagination.

Art has its mysterious laws; Because the essence of art is life, artists live in their own art, and once art is over, artists are still alive. The only way to live a long life is to constantly distinguish between others and yourself. This harsh law forces artists to devote themselves to life, preferring to die on earth and live in art forever. The artist's greatest friend is loneliness, which is accompanied by a cold and hot audience and readers, a profound loneliness. This is the artist in everyone's heart, a born ascetic, who pays tribute to the beautiful saint with his life. But without them, human intelligence will sink into mediocrity, life will become a desert without mountains, and the earth is just a bare and dim sphere.

This is the realm of beautiful artists. I once saw a letter from mother and son on Sohu, and I recorded it forever. The content is as follows: "First of all, being an artist requires dedication! Some people say that if you engage in art, you must become a detached investor and a detached person who is good at investing. This statement is sincere and true. People have the taste of eating meat, and I have the taste of eating vegetables; Others are interested in fame and fortune, but I have the pleasure of flying fish in Mo Chi. This is the artist's heart. To do this, you need to be calm, put your life and enthusiasm into your career and art, make your painting bolder, make your heart more poetic, be a person worthy of the times and be a capitalized person. If people want to be noble, they must learn to be tolerant, considerate and generous. Although it is not easy to do, efforts can be done. "

Son, please strive to pursue an extraordinary spiritual realm and be an artist with noble character and good heart. Never be a tyrant who is solipsistic, arrogant and controls others with personal likes and dislikes. Don't cast envy and hatred on those aristocratic classes in society, because both of the above practices are unwise. It is unfair to yourself and others to create or fall into pain. Mom wants to tell you that life is beautiful, but some people who are not self-disciplined have ruined it. Mom, please don't be such a person.

Mom is willing to study with you to be a noble person! Let's work towards this goal together. My son is leaving, and my mother's heart will accompany you!

The reason why I bring up this topic now is mainly to make many newcomers who are about to step into the ranks of artists realize that although art has certain commodity attributes, it is more important to have its social attributes and consciousness attributes.

Words are to pens, and pens are like knives.

I wrote this article only to vindicate some arguments by the way of my own article narration, and I saw those so-called hypocritical critics on the Internet trying to belittle Jingdezhen modern ceramics. It is true that some artists, driven by material interests, regard art as a tool for profit, which greatly reduces the artistry of their works. But blindly criticizing and criticizing will ruin the artistic life of an industry. This kind of "stick killing" is terrible. However, it is these people who are hiding under the false appearance, but for their own personal interests, they are directing a growing fire offensive.

The modern ceramic collection industry started only a few years ago. In these short years, the modern ceramic collection can take off to this extent thanks to the favor of the market, but it is also because the modern ceramic collection has its artistic foundation and it is impossible to build a high-rise building on the ground.

The rapid expansion of the modern ceramic market has certainly caused a series of changes in the mentality of many artists. This is obvious, but if we can get a glimpse of the mentality of the whole leopard, it will be very one-sided. When the market develops to this extent, what we do is not to "kill" but to guide. It is beyond reproach that artists get paid through labor. The country is also vigorously developing cultural undertakings and cultural industries, and cultural and artistic resources can be transformed into productive forces and bring economic benefits. How to help artists correctly identify economic interests and artistic pursuits is the responsibility of media workers and the morality of a media worker.

Some people who walk in this industry have a lot of dissatisfaction with this industry for various reasons, including being abandoned by the market, being abandoned by artists, personal grievances, industry conflicts and so on. They turn anger into verbal expression, exaggerate some small things, then exaggerate infinitely, and then threaten. Just like the issues of money and art to be discussed in this article, such dark people try their best to belittle rather than guide. Try to think about how a dark-hearted person can express himself fairly. But when these words are disguised under the false appearance, they are deliberately misleading others.

For the healthy development of this industry, the guidance and self-discipline of artists are very important, but at the same time, collectors themselves should carefully read some articles and speeches to see the background and development process of the person who wrote these speeches, as well as his current position in the industry and his work, so that you can understand his real intentions and positions.
