What Is Art

Are you ready to read this tale of deception, twists, and fatal attraction? "Time and Art" is not only about her, but also about the god in each of us who is willing to be destroyed. Art is not a palace, but an altar. And Gu Xunzhen is the one who makes us willingly walk to the altar. Yes, I have never loved art. I am just a spectator who exchanges skills for extra points and wears an invisibility cloak. And she became a legend, she was the only "artist" to break through the sky, the myth itself. I thought I knew everything about her, from youth to brilliance, to her sudden fall and complete disappearance from the art world. I thought I was always a calm recorder, observing every participant in her life as enthusiastic as the characters in the drama, while remaining aloof. I wrote her story, how art wears the cloak of divinity, but its feet are covered with the bones of ordinary people. Write that if art merges with love, we will all become slaves who are still willing to crawl after hysteria. But I lied. When the story reaches its end, I will tear off all pretenses. I am not an observer, but the cravenest and craziest actor in her drama. The "art" in my mouth has always been synonymous with her. And everything I told was just to cover up the real truth - about how I gave up everything for her, about us, and about the real reason why she chose to disappear. This is a novel about art and lies, worship and sacrifice. When you read the last word, you will understand.
