When sculptors create portraits, they must focus on shaping. In the minds of ordinary people, great scholars, thinkers, etc. should be reading, observing, writing, or looking down and pondering.

In short, the statue must have the solemnity and noble image that the commemorative statue of the predecessor and great man should have, so that it can conform to the public's thinking.

However, Bai Ye's works are very different from these ideas.

Or, it is unfair.

I saw this statue, wearing a wide nightgown, wrapped around my body, with messy beards, hair, and rough facial features on the collar.

Such an image is weird, sloppy, weird, and has a bit of blurry color. In short, it does not conform to everyone's perception of the great master.

So at first glance, Duan Xiao burst into laughter: "Bai Ye, you have been thinking about it for so long and have made this... what's the point?"

"Don't tell me, this is a statue of a great man?"

Duan Xiao laughed and said, "I look at it and feel like this thing is like a toad in a sack, and it has nothing to do with a great scholar at all."

Yuan Rui frowned immediately. His understanding of sculpture art was not that superficial. However, the statue in front of him did not meet his aesthetic taste.

So under Duan Xiao's instigation, he couldn't control his emotions and was a little hesitant.

Other scholars next to him also had similar ideas.

The main reason is that they think that the portraits and statues of characters should be upright and show a grand and noble temperament. Bai Ye's works obviously do not have this shaping.

This is undoubtedly the biggest flaw for everyone.

"Toad in the sack?"

However, at this moment, Chen Daqi looked surprised and said with contempt: "It would be fine if someone else said this, but it actually came from your mouth."

"Duan Xiao, are you still a sculptor?"

Chen Daqi sneered: "Maybe we have always been respectful to you. I didn't expect that your aesthetic taste for sculpture is so shallow."

“…”

Duan Xiao's face was gloomy. Others could scold him for striking money and taking advantage of the popularity. This is a real thing. He admitted it and did not intend to argue. The problem is that he would never allow it, and others would question his ability in sculpture.

He opened his mouth and wanted to return to Chen Daqi, but then he held back and his eyes turned to the statue again. After looking at it, he still felt that Bai Ye's work was not very good.

The statue's head looks a little bigger, fluffy hair, a strong figure, and a nightgown wrapped in a nightgown. Its shape is very casual and not at all.

Such an image is different from traditional figure statues.

Wait.

In an instant, Duan Xiao's face changed slightly and he also had some clarity.

"How is it, I understand now." Chen Daqi also noticed Duan Xiao's expression change, and he was a little proud at the moment.

Duan Xiao fell silent, his eyes turned and then said, "What does it matter if you understand clearly or not? You should know that you are entrusted by your employer to do things. The most essential purpose should be to satisfy the employer. Is the employer satisfied now?"

I have to say that Duan Xiao hit the nail on the head and hit the nail on the head.

Now, it was Chen Daqi's turn to look ugly and he looked a little worried. In fact, when Bai Ye was making the statue, he also made suggestions and suggestions, but Bai Ye was convinced.

Although the commissioned creation also means customization and should be based on the employer's preferences. But he also thinks that Bai Ye's words make sense. As an artist, when creating, he must also have artistic aesthetics and cannot be perfunctory.

There is no doubt that the statues created by Baiye may not conform to the public's aesthetics. However, in the field of artistic creation, it is an exploration and innovation.

Artists still have to pursue something.

As for the employer being unsatisfied... then convince him.

Chen Daqi strengthened his belief and said, "Bai Ye, come on!"

“…”

Bai Ye was a little speechless, but he still explained: "Old Yuan, do you have any opinions on this statue?"

Yuan Rui hesitated and had no sound for a long time.

A scholar next to him said bluntly: "The statue is so ugly. I don't understand why you want to shape a thinker into this image. You must know that gentleman, without mentioning his achievements, will be admired by thousands of people just by his character."

"You have made him look like this, and in our opinion, this is disrespect for him, even a kind of… blasphemy."

The word "blasphemy" is also a serious criticism.

This scholar's words are sharp, but they are approved by some people around him.

In their opinion, that thinker, a great scholar, is perfect and should not be a strange image of a statue.

“That’s right…”

Li Sheng finished the fight next to him: "Although there are no explicit clauses and regulations on the appearance of the portrait figure, there are also conventional rules."

"In fact, portrait sculptures are similar to taking photos. You don't need to beautify yourself, but you can't deliberately ugliness."

Li Sheng sneered: "Your statue is deliberately vilifying the other party. If you know, you think you are creating art; if you don't know, you may think that you have a grudge against the other party and are taking revenge on your own."

"Um."

His words immediately made the eyes of a group of scholars converge, revealing the meaning of scrutiny.

"Who said this is ugly?"

Bai Ye frowned and said, "Is there any difference between beautiful and ugly things at the artistic level? Who stipulates that statues must be shaped into a tall and glorious image according to tradition?"

"The beauty of sculpture lies in the image."

Bai Ye said in a deep voice: "This sculpture is not about my own boast. It is my hard work and the fulcrum of aesthetics. It has broken the barriers and broken the shackles. If you think it is not suitable, it doesn't matter. I will move it home to collect it myself."

He is so strong.

Chen Daqi was very supportive: "Old Yuan, and you all... I saw him drafting the statue of Baiye with my own eyes, and adjusted it more than a dozen times before it finally took shape."

"When we were plastering the plaster statue, the image was also very perfect. We looked at it and praised it all, but he was not satisfied..."

Chen Daqi took out his cell phone and showed everyone a photo: "It was a plaster statue at that time. The statue was wrapped in pajamas and a pair of hands. It was shaped very beautifully."

Everyone was surprised, the statue had hands? When they looked at it, they did see a work that was almost consistent with the statue in front of them.

However, the work in the photo does have a pair of hands holding it in front of the collar and chest.

The hands are perfectly shaped and attract everyone's attention. They are quite curious, why did a good pair of hands disappear in the end?

Only Duan Xiao's face changed wildly again, and he lowered his head slightly.

"Bai Ye felt that these perfect hands were too overwhelming and would make people ignore the facial features and expressions of the statue, so he smashed his hands directly, making the final posture of the statue become what it is now."
