You can't live without being crazy! The Hidden Quirks of Art Masters Do you think there are only solemn and solemn famous paintings in art galleries? Big mistake! Today I will show you "Talking about Weird People in the Art Museum" to unlock the unknown side of Western art masters, which will definitely make your jaw drop! This book unfolds in the form of interesting dialogue, turning the cold art history into a relaxed talk show. For example, Leonardo da Vinci, the painting legend, was actually a super procrastinator! He left a large number of unfinished manuscripts throughout his life, and often failed to work after receiving orders, causing headaches to his employers. He was a "pigeon master". Michelangelo was a workaholic who was obsessed with muscles. He spent four years alone to complete a huge ceiling painting that was 36 meters long and 13 meters wide. He raised his head to paint for so long that his neck was deformed. He was called the "Desperate Saburo" in the art world. There is also Degas, an Impressionist painter. Although he was a wealthy young man, he had low self-esteem and was coquettish. He did not like landscapes but only loved painting people. He was especially fascinated by women's backs and feet. The dancers in his paintings rarely showed their faces. His unique "anonymity" painting style is amazing. The book not only contains the artist's eccentricities, but also digs into the stories behind the famous works. For example, "Night Watch" was not originally a depiction of the night, but it got its name due to the dark appearance of pollution on the surface. It was also called a "cursed oil painting", and there was a tortuous experience hidden behind it; Ingres's "Napoleon I on the Throne" once made him ridiculed by the crowd, and he was unable to return to the country due to the turbulent times. "The Oath of Louis XIII" made him return to the country with glory. The two paintings witnessed his ups and downs in his artistic career. From the Renaissance to Impressionism, the stories of 12 art masters are cleverly connected by the author, allowing you to unknowingly grasp the context of art history while laughing. Whether you are an art novice or a senior enthusiast, you can find fun and gain in this book. Stop thinking about art in a lofty way. Open "Talking about Weird People in the Art Museum" and feel the charm of these weird masters. It turns out that art can be so down-to-earth!
