aesthetics itself is a process of different opinions.
In the early years of the international T stage, Westerners specially selected and introduced Orientals with red and phoenix eyes into their large-scale shows. It is undeniable that this behavior did cause a strong sensation and repercussions at the time, but this does not mean that all Orientals have small eyes and single eyelids.
The most important thing is that they just think this is a distinctive oriental thing, does not fully agree that this is oriental beauty.
However, some so-called "international" models or fashion designers, in order to cater to this "international standard", insist on mass-producing such works. Every catwalk must have models with this aesthetic standard. .
This is just like some screenwriters or directors many years ago. Because they shot a movie on a certain theme and won an award at an international film festival, more and more screenwriters and directors made movies on this theme repeatedly in order to take the "international" route. The movie has led to the emergence of the international stereotype that is the same as .
However, as our country becomes stronger, this lack of cultural confidence is slowly decreasing. But now "squinting" has become popular again, and it still appeared in the graduation design show of of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts.
Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts Graduation Project Reappears "Squinting Eyes"
At the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts Graduation Project Show, students carefully designed many fashionable costumes, but the most eye-catching thing in the audience was not these costumes, but the display Clothing models, because these models are all "squinting eyes" of Qing Yishui.
This situation made many netizens couldn’t help but frown after watching it, and said: “I really don’t understand today’s aesthetics, and I have an indescribable feeling.” Some even said: “I thought I had walked into the aesthetics of previous years. Overseas shows.
More attentive netizens discovered that the eyes of these models were not born this way, but were deliberately drawn with long eyeliner by the makeup artist. No matter how big the eyes are, they look ordinary. It's "squinting".
I don’t know what angle it is based on. This kind of art and aesthetics does not show the so-called "beauty", but has been complained by many netizens.
Netizen questioned and the author responded: Do you know what art is?
In response to the discomfort and doubts expressed by netizens, the designer, as the person with the most "interpretation power", did not explain his design concept calmly. Instead, he directly responded to some people's private messages on the Internet, including "What do you know?" Is it called art? If you don’t understand it, don’t read it." The words caused even more heated discussion.
Although an "informed person" said afterwards that the theme of this design is "Door Pusher", which means that young people use their dreams as lights, push open the blocking door with their hands again and again, and walk into the new world again and again. In situations and life.
To be honest, netizens still agree with the original intention of this idea, but everyone feels that since they are all "door pushers" of dreams and should have the creativity of young people, why should they deliberately highlight the "squinting eyes" Woolen cloth?
In addition, some netizens said: If you want to express the characteristics of Orientals, you should not just focus on "squinting eyes". After all, Orientals also have " almond-shaped eyes ", "peach blossom eyes" and " Willow Eyes". Since aesthetics can be personalized and even niche, why should we choose "labeling"?
Aesthetics can be personalized and niche, rather than "tagged"
I don't understand art, but after reading it, it is somewhat similar to the thoughts of most netizens. After all, Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts takes action, and should usually present the best of the best works.
Excellent works of art are allowed to be special, but overall they should give people a kind of "beautiful" enjoyment, especially the beauty that is acceptable to the public is the most down-to-earth beauty.
If it is really just to pursue a kind of alternative beauty, should also seek different characteristics based on beauty, not to attract people's attention, to sensationalize, let alone to cater to others without distinguishing between good and bad.
Conclusion
There is indeed a cognitive bias between Eastern and Western aesthetics, but we believe that even in the minds of Westerners, the looks of Easterners are different and individualized, rather than a unified standard, let alone uniform. The "squinting eyes".
Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts is a leading art and design university. Students who have received systematic training must be innovative and cannot use the so-called "internationalization" as a shield.
To give a simple example, the graduation projects of art colleges and universities are also based on "oriental beauty". In the graduation design shows of many colleges and universities, is the main theme of "Chinese style" that is acceptable to adults. . For example, in the graduation shows of Zhengzhou Technology and Business College and other institutions, Tsing Yi oil umbrellas have a unique charm. After all,
is so-called international recognition, and does not lower itself in order to go international.
