After returning from moma, I have been thinking about what art is, and finally came to several conclusions. The first layer of art is simply to shape visual aesthetics, the second layer of art is to awaken all kinds of emotions in a person's heart, and the third layer Layer art is to guide a person to think in a good direction. The realm of the third layer is no longer art, and the definition of the first layer of art can be completely overturned. The person who freely controls the third layer of art is not an artist but a thinker.
To be honest, I don't think vivian maier is "the most influential photographer of the 20th century", but it fits my second definition of art. I can't help crying when I look at the light montage of those photos. Now, I can't tell whether it's my sympathy for Vivian Maier's life or I'm moved by the tender kindness in her dark soul.
I'm sure that most of her tens of thousands of films are garbage, just like any instagram that a young person likes to shoot now, the literary and artistic fan has already been flooded. But in the street shots of individual characters, whether they are laughing, crying, confused, or looking back inadvertently, without any modification, they use the most straightforward method to express a person's expression, the kind of naked under the sun. Sheer deep shock and conquered me. Vivian maier is a sensitive person, only sensitive people can see the world with such a delicate and pure eye - just like I have always believed that only picky eaters will become the best chefs, if you look at everything It's tasteless, and everything you eat is like chewing wax. How can you understand the perfection caused by the subtlest line of deviation.
I can imagine vivian maier sitting on a park bench in his later years, a lonely soul quietly waiting for one day to be completely forgotten by the world.
"If I knew she was such a person (a photographer), maybe I would have been nicer to her at the time."
How many people have not been understood and fulfilled after death. Vivienne Mann, at least you're lucky.
