At the beginning of the last century, a masterpiece, Fang Thomas, was popular in western Europe. 32 volumes are completed by two writers, and one volume is created every month. The cooperation continued until the outbreak of World War I in 19 14. See you later, Louis? Fred adapted the novel into a movie, which caused a sensation in Europe.

Fantomas's protagonist is a heinous villain named fantomas. He broke into houses, seduced women, robbed banks and committed various crimes. The police pursued it with all their might and the streets were covered with arrest warrants. But fantomas is very cunning. The police are no match for him at all. He has superb face-changing skills and never shows his true colors; He is agile and can fly over the eaves and walk over the walls; He is proficient in bone fracture and can fly through the smallest gap. He often plays cat and mouse with the police. He disguised himself as a gentleman and went in and out of hotels, hotels and casinos. Sometimes he talks with politician Kan Kan, and sometimes he takes part in casual entertainment with a lady. In short, this is a semi-magical and semi-real romantic thief. He has the power to outsmart the law, dares to challenge the stupid bureaucracy, and has surreal magic.

Threatened Black Boy is the work of the surrealist painter Margaret, who is one of the admirers of Fang Thomas. Margaret's introduction can be found online, so I won't go into details here. Then back to the original painting, the whole painting is two detectives with simple tools, a naked female corpse, a well-dressed unidentified person and three onlookers. When I first saw this painting, my mind was full of all kinds of strange question marks: Who killed that woman? Who is the man next to the phonograph? Why are those two detectives holding such a simple arresting tool? What did the three onlookers see?

After finding the above background, I feel a little relaxed. If Margaret is really painting Fang Thomas, the person next to the phonograph should be the romantic thief. Just finished the case, he was about to escape. The suitcase on the ground, the coat and hat on the stool are all tools for his crime. The two detectives at the door are waiting for the right time, perhaps waiting for their backup companion. In the face of the famous fantomas, they dare not act rashly, and their facial expressions are extremely dignified. After witnessing everything, the three onlookers were dumbfounded and depressed, and everything was on the verge. Moreover, the painter will look at the nearest place where all this happened from the painter's perspective, and the whole scene is very tense.

However, the painter played a little joke here. In the era when the phonograph was invented, two detectives were still holding sticks and rope nets, trying to catch Jiang Yang thieves like fantomas. The painter is very stubborn to us. The stupid bureaucrats played a joke.

The teacher also said that all the faces of the characters were Margaret, which made them very confused. Why do you want to paint yourself as everyone? Is it technology that forms the magic feeling? A painter who is famous for philosophical painting should have more than this idea, right? I think so. The victim is me, the perpetrator is me, the onlookers are me, and the law enforcers are me. Why do painters paint like this?

When the painter painted this painting, cubism and barbarism had become popular in Europe, and Dadaism, Futurism and Surrealism were flourishing. With the invention of the camera, the painter's painting objects and expression techniques have undergone great changes, and his artistic concept has also been baptized like a storm. The painter himself once set out from a tube to explore similar and similar concepts, separating concepts from images, challenging the common sense of the public and making people think. Philosophical problem of expressing "yes" and "no" with painting. However, after the above theory developed to Dadaism's anti-tradition and anti-art, both art and morality needed to be subverted. Duchamp subverted the artistic form with his paintings, so Margaret's paintings are a subversion of morality. Painters worship fantomas, who can play with government agencies in his palm and be completely free; In the painting profession, the painter plays those two detective roles, which are rational and professional; In real life, the painter plays a bystander in other people's lives, and maybe he is also a victim. A person has many identities. Unlike in the past, the victims deserve sympathy, the perpetrators must be condemned, and the onlookers are completely innocent. Morality no longer represents absolute good and evil as before, but becomes more and more blurred with the glue of human nature. Our selfishness and indifference are no longer irrelevant to those who do nothing, because it is all for you.

This also reflects the essence of modern art, the change and interpretation of ideas. Change and interpretation are based on a lot of thinking of artists. Margaret couldn't stand the artistic atmosphere in Paris and returned to Belgium. She thinks for herself and interprets with a brush. Although she was not as successful as others in the history of art, she also painted her own world. His paintings are always famous for their philosophical thinking, exaggerated proportions, strange themes and profound thoughts, which stop most people's footsteps. I think the painting "Paradise" printed on the banknotes is far less moving than his series "Windows". What is the truth? The painter tortured us with this set of paintings. Margaret is not so much a magical realist painter, but I prefer to classify him as realistic thought and magical expression. He is different from Dali, who is obsessed with how to express the subconscious, while Margaret expresses reality and tortures it with magic. For routines, most people choose the default, but Margaret tortured these things by default with her own brush.

Painting as a philosopher, this is what I want to say, Margaret.
