Thoughts of a Maggot▎Although a maggot copied the landscape paintings of Russian Shishkin and Levitan when he was young, and used the Impressionist technique when he sketched from life, the masters of landscape painting in his heart were Corot and Turner. . Unfortunately, a maggot is an illiterate who does not know much about art history. This time, let's watch Turner with the movie "Mr. Turner".
In 2009, the National Art Museum of China held an exhibition of Turner's paintings collected by the Tate Gallery. A certain maggot finally had the first intimate contact with the male god in his heart.
Turner entered the Royal Academy of Arts at the age of 14 and was accepted by the Academy the following year. After that, he became halo of "painter of light", and his works are exhibited by the institute almost every year.
As a highly anticipated genius child, a maggot always thought he was like this...
Handsome, talented, and rebellious.
Unexpectedly, in the movie, he should also be like this in reality...
An ugly, fat, perverse monster.
Time is a butcher's knife. In the era of no PS, we painters made it by ourselves.
Maybe that's why Turner doesn't paint portraits - he can't face himself, and he can't face others.
The film begins in a Turner-like landscape. Two Dutch peasant women chatted and passed through the camera and Turner in the sketch. After being young and frivolous, he was in this piece of nature, focused and affectionate.
Back at home in the UK, Turner's attitude was arrogant and contemptuous in the face of Hannah, a maid who suffered from a skin disease, but the maid's eyes were filled with admiration and love. She longed for his affection, but he could only rudely grab her chest and touch her lower body, his need for sex and escapism from emotion, this deformed relationship was destined to only make her a tool for Turner to vent her desires.
His elderly father, who had doted on Turner's mother for more than two decades after his death, suffered from asthma, was still adding paints and making canvases for him. And he was like a spoiled child, laughing at his uncle who wanted to throw a family reunion with his old father.
Suddenly Mrs Danby (Mrs Danby), with his two daughters and newborn granddaughter, he couldn't face them, couldn't face them who couldn't understand him, he had to use an arrogant tone to drive them out of the studio, angry, Give vent to the painting chair.
After greeting his indifferent daughters and granddaughters, he walked away. Why is the younger daughter learning French and music, receiving systematic education, reading, writing, mathematics and geography, just like the Chinese four books, five classics and six arts, which is the culture of the upper class. But their seemingly successful father was in fact the darling of the nobles, a painter who decorated rooms and painted parties.
(Turner asked the Lord if he had considered replacing the cattle with modern farm facilities, and the Lord said there was nothing better than cattle.)
Turner looked sadly at Miss Coggins and murmured to her piano: "Remember me, but ah! Forget my fate..." (Remember me, but forget my fate... ) (Dido's Lament, by Henry Purcell, British musician of the Baroque period.)
A sad song of love, the ending is just his silent departure.
(Ms. Coggins first played Beethoven's Pathetic Sonata. According to the year of Turner's painting, Beethoven had just died two or three years ago, in 1827.)
Passionate creations are only the laughing stock of nobles, performing painfully like a clown.
When the nobles were still sleeping, he had already dated the sun god: "The advantage of the morning is that the sun is weaker and less dazzling." He is the weak morning sun.
Then he came to Margate (Margate) to sketch, and met the industrious and simple landlady, Mrs Booth (Mrs Booth).
Small talk with Mr. Booth, who had worked as a carpenter on a slave ship, left him brooding, perhaps the source of his "Slave Ship." "Humanity..."
As a teenager, Turner studied and lived in Margate for a few years. Unfortunately, he remembered more of his friends who died of scrofula. Maybe he also remembered his younger sister and his mentally ill mother.
Before Mrs Somerville, Turner put away his arrogance and looked at her with admiration, at the experiment of the light she brought. Turner revealed his curiosity about the unknown. Mrs. Somerville understood him, and although he was saying a few words, she knew that "the universe is so chaotic and you let us see it". Science and art meet here, two people smile at each other, more than a thousand words.
(Mary Somerville, a maggot searched for this woman who is literally Queen Victoria of Victorian British science... For the experimental principle in the movie, please refer to her "The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays" (The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays) of the Solar Spectrum, 1825), a maggot, as a liberal arts student who does not understand English and does not understand physics, really wants to know the principle is the magic horse...)
(Turner's early style was still the mainstream historical theme at the time, but this "Hannibal Crossing the Alps" already had the clues of the Turner style that a maggot called a "drum washing machine" composition.)
"Color is relative." But the painters in the academy couldn't see through this. He was like a spark in a haze, silently exploring forward.
(The whole screenshot on the computer is a gray tone, only the Turner area emits a yellow-green light like a tinted glass dome. It gets weaker on the phone...)
(Sorry I didn't find this picture)
Turner was both lucky and unfortunate. Father's doting and protection gave Turner the greatest support and comfort in this deformed family and deformed society.
The father, who was seriously ill and still making canvases for his son, took this figure and left Turner, who had depended on each other for 30 years.
(By the way, Chinese painting is a model for expressing artistic conception, and now domestic film and television dramas still rely on monologues or narrations to explain the protagonist's mood...)
(This was accidentally discovered by a maggot in the exhibition, and it is also a maggot's favorite in Turner's work, "Death on a White Horse".)
Turner became more perverse after his father left.
(The maid, who hoped to get Turner's attention by reading and studying, was still only a tool for his lust, not even getting a kiss.)
(This back image reminds a maggot of "The Traveler on the Sea of Fog" by the German romantic landscape painter Friedrich)
He had to go back to the nature that had given him comfort, all the way to Margate, to see Mrs Booth again.
Mr. Booth's death did not bring her too much sadness. She had seen too much life and death, and with a piece of life wisdom, she asked Turner, "Are you still painting?"
Turner smiled.
(Daggers drawn, tit for tat)
He began stealing the limelight at the exhibition, making snarky jokes about the work of his friends, and a malicious mockery of John Constable. (I don't know much about gossip and art history, so God Mar Turner wants to do this to Constable... But "the circle is really messed up" you know... A maggot thinks it may be Turner who found himself in At that time, the field of landscape painting was no match for Constable...)
Constable left only one sentence: "He's been here and fired a gun." (He's been here and fired a gun.) Turner came and left. (Unfortunately, five years later, Constable, a landscape painting master who was as famous as Turner, died in 1837. In the same year, Queen Victoria succeeded to the throne, and Britain entered the Victorian era and became an empire on which the sun never sets.)
The competition became fierce, and he began to look for a change.
(Turner's Showtime~ after Hayden's riotous painting exhibition~)
Turner, who had finished the show, came to Margate again, but Mrs. Booth, who was praised, said "the deliberate compliments of others are meaningless. Know, he found love.
When you are really in the storm, you really feel the future.
Turner began the typically dreamy "drum washing machine" period. (The name given by a maggot without authorization is just so capricious.)
The new style is always full of controversy, and in this noise, the rich second generation John Ruskin (John Ruskin) has become his most staunch supporter
At first, Turner didn't believe him, and with his withdrawn personality, it was all sorts of cynicism towards Ruskin, but our second generation still supported Turner with all his might (his dad's). Really love.
Because of his absence from his daughter's funeral, he could only clench his fists in the face of Mrs. Danby's accusations of "how can you be indifferent?"
It's not that he's painless, he's not feelingless, he just can't face this hysterical woman who only demands.
Going to Margate again, the boat in this shot is already a new type of steamboat. The era of sailing ships is over.
Looking at the battleship Dreadnought being towed for disintegration, Turner said: "The past is over, and we have to look to the future."
A new means of transport appeared - the train.
Turner stared at the steel monster in fascination.
A new era has come.
(Look! Benjamin's aura~)
(Around 1840, the industrial revolution was basically completed, and Britain became the first industrial country in the world.)
During the Victorian era, the British economy and culture developed rapidly.
But Queen Victoria only thought they were "A dirty, yellow mess." in front of Turner's new images
His art began to become a symbol of mental illness in the eyes of the people at the time, to be fooled and ridiculed.
He had to endure all these criticisms silently.
To Mrs Ruskin:
"Sublime. (Beautiful.)
Loneliness... (Lonely...)
solitude... (solitude...)
'tis not the same.
It will come.
Love. (Love.)"
historic encounter.
Rather than saying that photography ruined the jobs of painters, it is better to say that photography liberated painting.
When he learned that photographer Mayall had captured the rainbow over Nicaragua Falls, he said:
"Soon the painter will travel all over the world."
(The daguerreotype of Nicaragua Falls, and the Turner photographed by Mayar. I really feel like seeing netizens destroying the three views...)
After rejecting the acquisition by local tyrants, he decided to donate all his works to Turner in the country, and started an idyllic painting life.
Happiness is probably like this.
(When a maggot saw this painting for the first time, he sighed that Turner was not only a romantic painter, but also a pioneer of Impressionism. Exploding Monet's sunrise.)
The Institute's new exhibition.
(My concubine doesn't understand Mr.'s expression.)
Dr Price said it was because of his extraordinary painting that he chose to take the train from Margate to see him.
Times have changed, but he won't be an insignificant man.
Say goodbye to the sunset of the old world and welcome the rising sun of the new world.
As the Victorian writer Dickens famously said countless times: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
"Art is accurate, advanced knowledge for dealing with the psychological and social consequences of the next technology," McLuhan said.
If people could believe this, would everyone become an artist? (This sentence is actually what he said. See "Understanding the Media", p.86)
End with the conclusion of the 2009 Turner exhibition at the National Art Museum of China
also dedicated to
Mr Turner
"A true master is someone who belongs to the times and surpasses them."
ps
A certain maggot deliberately avoided a character, the painter Hayden. Benjamin Haydon, a tragic painter.
The role of the maid Hannah is too brilliant, but it is too heart-wrenching for a maggot, so I didn't focus on analyzing her. Feel it yourself in the movie.
There are two things I don't understand:
One is the song that mocks dwarfs sung at noble gatherings. (Mainly because I don't understand. Also, is this the laughing point of the Victorian aristocracy?)
The second is Turner's stalk of Ruskin: "a steak and kidney pie or a veal and ham pie?"
Friends who understand are welcome to leave a message to me.

It is said that the gentleman is mainly about being at a loss, and is beautiful by understanding things. The king is good at it, understanding things by nature, becoming a body and doing things, and responding to things with reason.
