3. Paintings:
1. Crying Girl
Roy Lichtenstein, American painter, sculptor and graphic artist. At first, it used abstract expressionist techniques, but in the 1960s it turned to Pop Art, which made it famous. His most popular works are large colorful comic strips, like "Wow:" (1963). In the 1960s, he converted the famous paintings of Monet, Picasso, and Matisse into pop versions. In the 1970s, he also made sculptures, in which the decorative art forms were reproduced. In the 1980s he painted a five-story mural in a New York office building.
As one of America's most famous pop artists, Lichtenstein's definition of pop art is more appropriate than any American pop artist. He uses the most unremarkable comic strips or advertising paintings as his basic themes, and then faithfully enlarges them with oil or acrylic paint, using bright colors, flat painting and line drawing, and some even using instruments to enlarge them.
"Crying Girl" here is created in this way, and its image comes from the common comic strips in the United States. Although the girl's expression is melancholy, the work basically has no special meaning. It is just an ordinary figure in American daily life. Lichtenstein's intention is to "eliminate the meaning of the work itself", which is also a characteristic of Pop Art. Similar paintings include "Girl with a Hair Band", "Drowning Girl" and so on.
2. Little Dancer of Fourteen Years
This work is a masterpiece of Edgar Degas. Degas seems to have a soft spot for ballet dancers.
Facing this wax figure, the audience was dumbfounded, as if feeling uncomfortable, Fanfen fled. The realism of this small wax figure has caused obvious discomfort to the audience; all their thoughts about the sculpture, the lifeless whiteness, and the clichés that have been imitated over the centuries are beginning to waver. It's like some Madonna with makeup and a robe; like Jesus in Burgo Church, using real hair, real thorns, and real cloth. Mr. Dou Jia's ballet dancers are also wearing real dance skirts, with real ribbons, wearing real dance clothes, and using real hair. The colored head, leaning back slightly, chin forward, mouth slightly open, sick face, gray-brown, tired, aging before old age. Keep your hands behind your back with your palms folded. The flat chest is confined in a white dance gown, which is kneaded with wax. The posture of the legs, as if preparing to fight, was a light gauze skirt like a small pavilion above the legs that were strained and twisted due to excessive practice. The stiff neck is surrounded by a golden onion belt, and the hair falls on the shoulders and then rises. The bun is decorated with the same ribbon as the neck, just like a real horsehair. Under the gaze, the dancer seemed to be alive like this, ready to leave the base at any time.
3. The thinker
"The Thinker" was created from "The Gate of Hell", which was the gate for the Paris Museum of Decorative Arts. When Rodin designed the overall composition of the bronze relief sculpture of "Hell's Gate", he spent a lot of effort to shape this round sculpture "The Thinker", which later became a milestone in his personal art. It was scheduled to be placed in the unfinished " The top of the door of Hell’s Gate was originally surrounded by bas-reliefs, which were created based on Dante’s Divine Comedy.
4. Nighthawks
(Nighthawks, 1942) is a masterpiece of the American painter Edward Hopper, depicting people sitting in a restaurant in the city for dinner. In addition to being a masterpiece of a painter, it is also one of the most familiar American artworks. It is now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting was inspired by a restaurant in Greenwich Village, New York's Greenwich Village, where Hope lives. Hope began to paint nightwalkers shortly after the Pearl Harbor incident, because after Pearl Harbor, he deeply felt the gloom and mist that enveloped the United States, and he also incorporated this feeling into this painting. Outside the restaurant, the streets of the city are empty. The three people in the restaurant did not talk to each other or look at other people, but they were all lost in their own world. The two on the left are lovers, and the man with his back is sitting alone. The only waiter in the restaurant, although he raised his head, seemed to be looking at the window behind the customers. Everyone seems to be in the same picture, but they actually live in their own space, which is similar to Rene Magritte's Golconda.
The painting depicts the depression and loneliness of modern urban life; this is a theme that Hope has always used. If you look closely, you will find that the restaurant has no obvious doorway for guests to go out, highlighting another theme of the painting: imprisonment and restriction. Hope denied that he painted this way deliberately, but he admitted that "maybe, I was indeed unconsciously depicting the loneliness of a big city." In the era when the painting was completed, fluorescent light technology had just appeared, which may explain why Compared with the empty and dark streets outside the window, the restaurant in the painting will give off a weird and gloomy light. Philippe Tobacco's wide is based on it as a model for shooting.
5. VJ Day at Times Square (I really like to enter the plot of this painting)
Victory Day in Times Square.
This is an extremely classic photo. It is widely circulated as a symbol of victory in World War II. It is also a testimony of the most beautiful love of mankind! The news of the end of World War II reached Times Square in New York. An ecstatic naval soldier hugged a strange nurse beside him and kissed her passionately. The person next to him responded with a knowing smile: after all, victory is here, it is worthy of joy The photo appeared in Time magazine. It is an excellent work reflecting the relaxed and happy mood of people after the war. It is unadorned, fresh and natural. 40 years later, photographer Alfred Isenstadt is reporting The man and woman in these two photos were found on the publication of the missing person notice. They have become grandfathers and grandmothers full of
descendants. 6. The shipwreck of the Minotaur
The overthrow of the Minotaur battleship
, a work by Joseph Mallord William Turner. JM Turner (April 23, 1775-December 19, 1851) was a British romantic landscape painter, a famous watercolor painter and printmaker.

7. Balloon dog
"Balloon Dog" is a mischievous Trojan Horse (Trojan Horse) full of air and composed like a sausage: Although it seems innocent, it carries both artistic aesthetics and eroticism. The perverse. The biggest problem is the size of the ratio. If you watch "Balloon Dog" (Balloon Dog) in the indoor art gallery, it stands up to 10 feet high at the highest point. It will have a weird sense of hugeness. A sense of intimidation; but on the roof, the vast sky and the open space of the museum from south to west make this work much smaller in comparison. As a result, the intimacy of Jeff Koons sculpture has been weakened. The perfectionism that focuses on details is the most convincing aspect of his work: pay attention to the very rigorous bow, the nose of the balloon dog, or the overlaps and creases, and the stretch on the heart-shaped packaging. Trademark. Even if you watch carefully and thoughtfully, the outdoor environment is still distracting.
8. American Gothic (with the Statue of Liberty, Barbie, Bison Nickel and Uncle Sam known as the five symbols of American culture)
In August 1930, Wood saw a Gothic-style house in a small town in the south of Iowa (Iowa, USA). It was built in the 1880s and has five rooms. The compact and solid design of this building, especially the Gothic windows in the attic, left a very deep impression on Wood. He imagined a farmer and his daughter standing in front of the house, then took a picture of the house and took it back to his studio. He asked his 62-year-old dentist and his 30-year-old sister to be models for the characters in the painting and put them in 19th century Victorian clothes. Although the two people are standing together in the painting, in fact the two figures were completed on different occasions.
It took Wood two months to complete this work, which caught up with the exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago in time. Although at first the judges were divided on whether to accept his painting, the painting was finally exhibited and won a bronze award and a $300 award. At that time, the painting caused great controversy. An art critic accused the painting of being a "caricature that insulted ordinary rural people." Some people think that Wood uses this painting to satirize the narrowness and depression of Midwestern culture, but Wood himself denies this claim; others understand this painting as a tribute to the moral qualities of American villages; others think that the theme of this work Very ambiguous, with both praise and satire. Later, Wood himself revealed that his paintings contained ironic elements, but he remained silent about the factors.
The man's eyes are straight forward, his lips are closed tightly, his thin yellow face is very serious, and his nose is meticulously framed with round glasses. He held a fork in his muddy hands. It not only represented the hardworking spirit of farmers in the era when agriculture was dominant, but also symbolized the unquestionable male authority and power in the patriarchal society of the 19th century. From the composition point of view, this fork echoes the oval face of the character and the lines of the Gothic window behind the character. The woman standing next to him is a typical Victorian dress, from hairstyle to dress, even to facial expressions, all reminiscent of Jane Eyre. Like men, women's expressions are not silly, just because women of that era took rigorous, reserved, diligent, and self-denying virtues. She stood slightly behind the man and looked at the man, a bit like "he is the only one who listens".
