Know better how to make color art last forever
The world-renowned Italian aesthetics has a unique set of color expressions, and at the same time creates an independent, individual, natural and artistic lifestyle. As the world-class painter Repin said, "Color is thought." Italian design is not just about detailed craftsmanship, but also about releasing the vitality that color brings to life, as well as the spiritual touch of integrating design and art into life.
Looking back at the development of color aesthetics in Italy, most of the early color masters came from the field of painting. During the Renaissance, the most accomplished master of color was undoubtedly Tiziano Vecellio, the father of Western oil painting. His oil painting technique of directly using color to shape images greatly improved the texture and vividness of color. People regarded it as This brilliant color is called "Titian's gold". His later works inspired the vague and soft painting style of Impressionism.
The emergence of Fauvism changed the aesthetic concepts of the time: bold colors, concise shapes, harmonious compositions and strong decoration. The representative figure Matisse made various attempts in his long-term artistic exploration. In his later years, he used colored paper-cutting to experiment with color relationships and transcend the narrow world of decoration, thus creating the concept of "Grand Decorative Art".
In the same period, Giorgio Morandi abandoned bright colors and only used seemingly gray mid-tones to express objects. In his works, forces mutually restrict and offset each other to achieve a perfect visual balance, explaining that art can reveal a sense of nobility in a low-key manner. This high-end combination of soft colors has become popular in design in recent years. Modern people use this simple beauty to express their inner happiness and elegance.
Morandi’s paintings
In the development and evolution of recent centuries, the rapid rise of industry has led Italy’s color aesthetics to become more practical in multiple fields.Use doctrine. In each work, the designer combines color art and functionality very closely, which not only meets commercial needs but also fully expresses his own aesthetic feelings. Their design is a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, natural materials, modern craftsmanship, new materials, etc. Since then, the design principle of "practical + beautiful" has gradually taken shape.
In 1980, Ettore Sottsass established the famous design organization "Memphis" Group, which launched a vigorous "anti-modernist design" movement. They opposed all inherent concepts, drew inspiration from Pop Art, advocated that visual experience should be greater than reason, and used new materials, bold colors and patterns, and exaggerated decorative styles to challenge the "Less is more" Bauhausism.
