The artist's studio preserved in Orsay Museum is one of the most complicated and successful oil painting works in Courbet. The painter's idea is to take this painting as a memory of his life after 1848; This painting depicts more than 30 people, each with its own meaning: in the middle of the picture, the painter himself is painting a landscape painting, and the children in front of the painting represent "innocent eyes"; The nude female model represents the muse or truth in the painter's heart; At the back of this painting, Saint Sebastian is nailed to a cross, representing the dead academic art. The central picture is divided into two parts: on the right is the poet Baudelaire, symbolizing "poetry"; A pair of men and women stood in front of them. They were "appreciators of painting". Conversely, everyone has symbolic meaning: "prose", "philosophy" and "music". The other part of the painting, mostly models painted by painters, can be described as a collection of three religions and nine streams in society. They are compared to poor, depressed, hurt and exploited people.
In a word, the people and things in the painting have certain meanings, which seem puzzling, but they embody the painter's democratic thought and realistic artistic direction, and include Courbet's suspicion and critical attitude towards the reality of capitalist society. Some people say that his paintings are a proud expression, sentimental memories and full of self-satisfaction, which endows the whole composition with such naive and warm vitality and sincere feelings that it is not ridiculous. Others say that he saved an original naive idea with superb acting skills. However, people have to admit that the integrity of the composition, the harmony of the atmosphere and the unity of colors of this painting are unparalleled, and the nudity in the center of the picture is even more wonderful. Some people think that the pink clothes left on the ground are an excellent still life painting.
In the picture, all the characters are arranged in a semicircle, and the center is the image of the painter himself. The unity of the sultry atmosphere was only broken by the bright colors of the landscape painting that Courbet was painting. The unification of colors is based on the brown tones of different colors. The big wall behind is a masterpiece in itself, because it has soft colors of rose, cyan and brown. The nude model is one of the most successful human bodies in Courbet, although she drew it according to photos. All volumes are represented by light and shadow, and the pink clothes thrown on the ground are an excellent still life painting. The portrait of my friend was moved from Courbet's past works. So what we see here is a picture of memories, a real fantasy, which does not reflect Courbet's realistic intention. Comparing this painting with The Funeral of Ornan, we can clearly see the benefits that Courbet got from getting rid of the shackles of reality and the warmth that he devoted himself to this kind of self-praise. Because the characters in the painting are portrayed too clearly and seem to be independent, the whole picture can only be unified with a strong atmosphere of independence and freedom. As a result, there is a rather elegant unity of the overall feeling and the self-contained contrast of the characters. This huge painting shows the painter's strong grasp of complex composition, the painter's realistic modeling and color skills, and the sense of texture and quantity of objects in the painting, all of which show that Courbet is a master of realism. 1855, the world famous paintings Exhibition was held in Paris, and the jury refused to accept Courbet's Studio because it was too socialist. So the painter decided to rent a room near the the world famous paintings Exhibition to show this work alone, named it "Realism Exhibition Hall" and published the Manifesto of Realism, hence the name of the Realism Art School.
Courbet's works subtitled "My Seven-year Summary of Art and Morality" are full of mysteries carefully arranged by the painter. Courbet made some explanations in his letter to Champfleury, but we still need to explain. Some people interpret this work as a criticism of Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte and other "traitors". Nevertheless, as Courbet said, this work is "full of puzzling mysteries, and those who are willing to solve this mystery are lucky". Gustav Courbet (18 19- 1877) was born in the eastern French town of Onan. His grandfather was party member of the jacobin Party of the French Revolution 1789, and his father was a vineyard owner, who later became a local administrator. Courbet was influenced by revolutionary thoughts since he was a child. Courbet, 29, went to Paris to study law, and later taught herself to be a painter.
Courbet was born with a strong artistic temperament and a strong sense of self-centeredness. He always looks at the world and life with a condescending eye. He is very concerned about society and takes an active part in revolutionary activities. During the Paris Commune, he was a member of the Commune and the chairman of the Artists Association. His name ranks with all the heroes of the Paris Commune, and he advocates artistic realism. He declared: "Realistic art is essentially democratic art..
"The art he created is to reproduce the real life around him without artificial modification, such as masonry and sifting wheat people. Courbet is a straightforward person by nature, and his true masculinity cannot be concealed by the social habits he has learned. His life was full of misfortunes, not only because he was competitive and vain, but also because he was compassionate and just to the oppressed, so he devoted himself to the proletarian revolutionary cause, and he could sacrifice everything for this ideal.
/kloc-In the middle of the 0/9th century, Courbet was already a world-renowned painter and was loved by progressive people in the world. In order to buy him off, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte awarded him the Medal of Honor, but he refused. He said, "He has never been subordinate to any other system except the liberal system." He won the greatest honor and love of the people. 1870, Paris artists supported him as the chairman of the National Art Preservation Committee. After the failure of the Paris Commune, he was arrested, imprisoned, shown to the public, fined, and finally forced into exile in Switzerland, and died of poverty and disease at the age of 58.
