Side effects

Việt Văn |

Late afternoon at a beer bar, where several stainless steel tables were lit up, the silver-white beard artist, shirt, jeans, confronted the young architect with a beard and hat. The architect looked at the phone screen and asked: "Have you noticed the beautiful younger sister writing a series of "petrified" articles about famous artists in the painting world? Saying that they impersonate world painting A, B...

He burst out laughing: "If it affects, who will be affected, as long as there are... side effects. Impersonating is not bad if you want to try again the way other people have gone, so you know you should not continue. But arguing about this is probably going to be a long, endless journey. The architect raised his hand to the table: "But it's strange. Those who argue are often told: paint with others, then say!". Aren't you allowed to criticize for having to paint well?

He took a sip of beer and exclaimed: "Not necessarily. A good painter may not be good at speaking. Good speakers sometimes paint without any action or only a short distance. That is every profession. Critics do not necessarily have to be good composers, but they must master the laws of aesthetics and the art form they analyze. The most important thing is to understand. You may not have built the tallest building yet, but you still know it is wrong when you look at the wrong design.

He sat quietly drinking beer, saying: "I see that abroad, a painting studio of a young artist is opened and has a famous critic, so I see that the author has potential... As for us, the concept of a true critic is very difficult. What she did to stir up the art world was not right or wrong, but her advantage was to speak directly, to express the pig's nails. While many critics here are used tofrog each other, saying around, giving small praise and criticism to avoid losing each other.

He nodded: "To be honest, criticizing is good, but criticizing people for wanting to continue painting is just criticizing culture. If you bury others, it is criticizing yourself, not art. Do you criticize to make others better or to prove yourself smarter? Those two things... are very different". He winked: "So why criticize me properly, sir?" He slowly said: "First of all, you have to see that individual has done it. Everyone needs to be recognized. Two is to point out something that is not good, but it must be based on reasoning, not on temporary emotions. Third, suggest a direction, not absolute judgment. Art requires sophistication. The same goes for words. Sometimes an unskillful criticism is even more damaging... your misconstruction.

He laughed: "You paint less, but if you don't have the structure, the house will collapse!". Just order another dish, please, but go with him and you will get bored with the fried tofu and this bitter melon stir-fried with eggs.

For her, the joy is very simple, just an old man nodding, or a child shouting "so beautiful!" is enough for the whole day.
