Resume of Russian oil painter Eugene
Eugene Pudding (1824- 1898) was born in Fleur and died in Deauville. Two-thirds of the picture is the sky, and one-third is the sea surrounded by small beaches, where colorful women's long skirts are flashing. This is the scene that comes to mind when the name pudding is mentioned. However, in this way, pudding works are unfairly reduced. Because it is mainly through the means of expression rather than the theme itself to achieve perfect unity. In fact, whether on the banks of the English Channel or in Brittany, Brussels, Bordeaux, the Netherlands and Venice, pudding is always devoted to observing nature with enthusiasm for sunshine. Rather than painting landscapes or people, he describes the way people bathe in the sun and rely on it. He doesn't emphasize the sense of volume. Instead, he clung to the light and shadow. Needless to say, he was one of the pioneers of impressionism. However, when Pudding was intoxicated by clouds and subtle gray sky, he didn't think that he was carrying out a revolution. He is just carefully preparing the works for the salon art exhibition. He finally won the gold medal at the World Expo held in 1889. 1892 was awarded the Medal of Honor. Success is the compensation he has been striving for for for many years. However, despite the belated official recognition, he always thought that those young impressionist painters (in fact, their achievements were largely attributed to him) were far more brilliant than himself, and his personality was as modest and simple as his paintings. Connor once said to him, "You are the king of the sky". Courbet also said, "You are a God who goes to heaven, and only you can understand the sky". This further proves Baudelaire's assertion that people can "guess the season, time and wind direction" by looking at the sketch of pudding. This requirement for accuracy is not so important today, but it is quite important for painters at that time. Pudding once described the painter Li Bo congratulating him on his compromise. Let the audience accept the gentleman in coat and the woman in raincoat. Pudding never denied the importance of the theme: "Farmers have their favorite painters," he wrote. "But among us, don't the bourgeois who walk in the direction of the sand embankment have the right to be fixed on the canvas and brought into the light?" This proves once again that the realistic illusion of impressionist painters does not occupy such an important position today. Eugene Pudding's opinion of himself is not what people thought when he publicly expressed this belief, because he wrote about these characters in the painting: "People think it is a shame to depict laziness and laziness. Fortunately, the creator radiates bright and warm light everywhere, so what we reproduce is no longer the world. It is the factors that hang over the world. " Although the above two paragraphs are contradictory, they are all the same word: "light". It was through it that Pudding learned about Jongkind's experience, confirmed that oil painting must use bright colors, and declared himself an impressionist painter. Pudding can also do still life paintings and other landscape paintings, and even draw some portraits. But he always goes back to the seaside. Wan Li loves the sky, not to satisfy the customers who finally gave him the nickname "seascape painter", but to satisfy their hobbies. There is no doubt that he experienced what we felt before each of his paintings: an impression of relaxation, tranquility and happiness. In his paintings, nature is alive, but it is not turbulent, and it is clear and not rigid. It has explained everything, but it is not rigid at all.
