Miller

He is an outstanding representative painter of realism in the19th century, and he spent his childhood and youth in the countryside. He pays attention to the working people, shows brotherly sympathy to the people, and has deep love for the working people and the natural countryside. Working people and the countryside have also become the themes of his future paintings. ...

Some people criticized his paintings as "popular paintings showing the working life in front of a powerful bourgeoisie", while others said that he was "a socialist talking about Kan Kan". Critics all think that his paintings have political significance, but he is indifferent to these things. ...

Yes, he is/kloc-Miller, a great pastoral painter in the 9th century.

"In the French art world, he is a lonely man and a complete stranger." Miller said that he had only seen the countryside in his life, and he could only describe what he saw frankly and comfortably.

1on April 23, 867, he wrote in his diary: "I am a farmer among farmers."

He said that the mission of art is to love, not to hate. When describing the sufferings of the poor, art never aims to arouse the envy of the rich. In this regard, the author agrees very much.

Everyone else thinks the pain is unbearable. Some people face pain directly but think that pain is the carrier of struggle and curse, while others avoid and forget pain simply because it is the embodiment of ugliness and disgust. However, Miller found serious and religious happiness from his pain.

Miller lived a life of poverty and illness all his life, but his love for art and sense of responsibility for a family kept him working hard. "Under this harsh fate, Miller never complained, got angry or panicked."

Sadness is his closest friend and often makes him feel serious and happy.

From 187 1 to 1873, Miller's success finally came, but his condition deteriorated rapidly. 1874 to 65438+February, Miller was seriously bedridden due to illness and died suddenly under the care of his family until 1875, 65438+1October 20th.

Note: The author is not an art major and has little contact with books in this field. Understanding of Miller, except in some general literacy classes, is mainly met in romain rolland's biography of Miller. What impressed me most was that a passer-by pointed to his painting and said that it was painted by a painter who could only paint vulgar and low-level naked women, and he could do nothing but naked women. Miller later heard this sentence in other people's comments, which broke his heart and determined not to cater to others and stick to his own artistic path. Although it made him poorer, he persisted and did it.
