sum of history

Jacques Leavitt documents the birth of a painstaking painting through four hours of video. This painting is mixed with everyone's emotions from the beginning to the end, fear, stubbornness, madness, sadism and masochism, suspicion, pain, relief, a painting is no longer just a work of art for people to appreciate, it It is the sum of history and the superposition and absorption of elements. In the process of restoring the painter's creative dilemma and inspiration, Levitt also allows the audience to extend to other fields of artistic creation.

Fraunhofer is an accomplished painter, he has received a lot of respect and admiration from art lovers, Mariana's boyfriend is one of them. But now Fraunhofer's creative inspiration is gradually drying up, and when he confronts his former muse wife, he has nowhere to write. And when he saw the visitor Mariana, the young, beautiful and sexy Mariana rekindled his creative passion and desire. At first Mariana refused to become a mannequin, but after her boyfriend's persuasion and Liz's ideological work, she finally agreed. Liz is Fraunhofer's wife. Now, facing Lisa, Franzhof has lost inspiration and desire. He has an unfinished portrait of Liz. This unfinished painting has been shelved in the studio. Liz hopes that her husband can pick up the brush again, regain confidence and passion, and Mariana is the best inspiration.

Then Franhof and Mariana started painting in the studio. Levitt spent most of the space calmly recording the process of painting creation. At the beginning, the camera faithfully recorded the sketch and outline, and then colored it, etc. There was no editing, just like a painting teaching documentary. Mariana's naked ketone body is put into various distorted poses. There is a saying in the photography industry: "When taking pictures, the more distorted, the more uncomfortable, and the more abnormal the pose, the better the effect..." Maria Na brought Fraunhofer's desire to create in a naked and twisted pose. Fraunhofer wanted to find every bone in the human body, every inch of skin. He fell into madness and anxiety like crazy, and even planned to give up . However, Mariana, who had resisted, was infected by this intense creative atmosphere, and she asked Fraunhofer to persevere. The two have a kind of implicit relationship similar to sadomasochism and masochism in the relationship between staring and being stared at. This is another ultimate experience of artistic creation. Even in the face of her boyfriend's jealousy and suspicion, Mariana is determined to help Fraunhofer complete this perhaps a great painting, because this painting combines two or more people in this period of history Emotions and states become the imprint of vitality. When his wife, Liz, found out that Fraunhofer had covered a portrait he had finished with a new painting, he was furious. Obviously, Fraunhofer wanted to paint the most beautiful wife, but the fading passions of life kept him away. So he can only complete the perfect picture of his wife through Mariana's ketone body.

In the end, Fraunhofer sealed the finished work in the wall. Only he and his wife knew what the paintings were, and he painted the most perfect paintings, so perfect that it would be a humiliation for anyone to see. Covered in the dark, without cheap discussions and evaluations, it will always be the purest artwork. Mariana brought him the ultimate work, he gave Mariana an experience of being baptized by art. For her, the result is no longer important, what she gets is priceless.
