traditional painting, sculpture manner, and constantly copying his image, is to create a new icon, just as now the television, film way. When the image is constantly repeated, due to the increase in volume, and a tremendous force. once they become idols, I can use and the use of my idols, and constant use. idol is a living, he often affect our life, regulate our behavior.

Yue Yue
about, people tend to think of his rise can not be said with some legendary color, and this not only because of his strength, as Yue Minjun and his and full of endless search for spiritual confusion, to the Chinese contemporary art into a fresh vitality. This also laid the map of contemporary art, Yue Minjun in a strong position in the real and.
face a variety of Yue Minjun visual text, and explore the art of Yue Minjun's development path, could not appeals to the imagination. It should be said, given the power of imagination is a timeless ability Yue Minjun, again and again to complete his self-transcendence, and make their own state of the art has always been filled with a creative impulse and passion. critic Li Xianting dialogue with Yue said, , put all kinds of weird, funny movements and Xipixiaolian expression, and through these movements and expressions of self-mockery of the description, the expression of the spiritual world of today's boredom. like a simple commercial painting, and screen flashy, monotonous colors, highlight the kind of superficial, humor and atmosphere of boredom. Yue Minjun's works are both the most unique pop art and posters and simplicity strong visual power. Yue also outlines the broad contours of artistic style. understand art history knows, to judge an artist's position in art history, social history must be integrated with the specific cultural background, and outside of the specific historical context of the relationship, in isolation, analysis of local artists and the style is very difficult to reach a satisfactory answer to. then reconstruct the historical context, the place also went to Yue Minjun was given to the consideration of social and historical atmosphere of discrimination, will help us all-round understanding Yue Minjun and his art.
familiar with Yue Minjun's people know he was born in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, long in Hunan, Hubei, studied at Hebei Normal University, became famous Summer Palace in Beijing, in this series of turbulent migration process, not only the achievements of the Yue Minjun a keen observation, but also gave him a lasting endurance and indomitable willpower.
First, the art of the early Enlightenment
(a) growing up in the turmoil and sadness
1, the advent of the motherland in the northeast border of Heilongjiang Province, Daqing City, the achievements of the new dream of China's industrial glory and .1962, the Yue was born in this city. glorious Yue Daqing left did not give the number of memory, he has Jianghan south to Hubei with their parents, and later away from the parents and grandfather living in Hunan, a few years until about 10 years old, it came back to my parents around, when parents migrated several times, eventually settled in the Beijing. the life of no fixed abode, volatile migration, leaving only the Yue Minjun Under the tendency of a violent protest, machine guns hh
2, a teenager chance encounter with the art school during the Yue Minjun
like his contemporaries, like dull monotony of life, the lack of material , spirit and belief the large, learning objectives and slack-free, so Yue Minjun's parents made him learn calligraphy in the decisions that no doubt is compulsory. developed later, as he and the hospital to a 60-year-old gentleman Meticulous study of traditional, boring exercises that he was finally unbearable, so angrily truant for three months, when the horizon of their rebellious nature .3 months later, Yue had the honor to get to know the Central Academy of Fine Arts Mr. Huan Shu Kwan graduated, and then with the Beijing Painting of Mr. Li Yuchang study painting, perhaps God wants, the future Yue excel in art, and art should be said that the teenager met several times played a certain role , otherwise, of course, history is not allowed hh assumption, but a child already shows signs of the art of Yue Minjun tendency to follow his own direction, resolute efforts, and its greatest pleasure is painting that participate in work , in order to draw single-minded, against the wishes of her parents, and even long-term The bitterness and pain
author of the oral Yue Minjun only when they know he had had for some offshore oil drilling platform in Tianjin experience as an electrician, this experience for him, is really an unforgettable memory, so far In telling this history, he has a mind clear, the injury and pain. Yue after graduating from high school, faced with a difficult choice, kind of parents would rather send him to offshore drilling platforms, do not want to him to the rural a brother, take care of their responsibility to naturally fall Yue Minjun's body, after all, their oldest child at home. I did not realize that dry is three years. But just three years honing his personal will to the test of his own character. The offshore platform of the work is a rotation of 20 days, and once he spent just over 20 days, is preparing to return to shore, but out of friendship and loyalty of workers, emergency workers as a replacement for the next 20 days .40-day stays down, he found himself does not speak normally, You have turned out normal, very normal. (Yue oral) and experience this unique spiritual experience, whether creating a unique art Yue Minjun? I think the old man's words and Bangladesh, or to explain the problem , as, like his generation has neither a common That has experienced an unprecedented In the 60's, when the world is in upheaval of the moment we did not get it when we grow up, I heard the, pondering the many exciting stories of great times and landscape, and we regret is that big. We be easily thrown out of the 60s, became his most trivial end and a feather. Cui Jian on the summary of our generation: the eggs under the red flag, but it was too late for the next.
which determines our fate: on the one hand, we unwilling to mediocrity, because we caught up with the era after the end of hh so fast was hard to breathe, too much politics, too much like motion pictures, like the economy, passing from their eyes: changes, that is, from a planned economy overall transition to a market economy.
sing a popular song of that period well, , desire, and sorrow
(a) confused and hesitant
1985 years, the Yue Minjun, it is a important turning point in the destiny of his point, in that year he was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Hebei Normal University , at which point the Chinese art world is experiencing an unprecedented strong ideological and cultural shock, the Chinese art is faced with local culture and Western culture, traditional culture and modern culture, local culture and urban culture, collectivism and individualism of the fierce collision . social reality and cultural contexts of the changes that directly spawned the history of contemporary art in China, far-reaching impact of the art of the Thought of r85. living in this turbulent social trends of Yue Minjun is a kind of state? he is How to deal with this drastic change it?
1, S Plastic Art Exhibition
When That vigorous ideological liberation movement in China, surging earth, when the ; Pond Society People often feel the invasion of the modern movement in art, but living in the mainstream or to fill our minds full of strange and fantasy both confusion and loss Yue Minjun, but unfortunately, everything here is so follow the order, people step by step, each line of the case. But Yue Minjun are not born with the kind of ;, as a trend of vigorous response to r85 art. The fine arts exhibition at the time, and even how the region can not be known, has not been accepted by the community, but as a college sophomore, the move, this maverick and the exhibition is still a bit different, because many teachers in this diverse and changing face of social thought has not yet had time to respond, even when you do not know how the matter, how can you expect a student how to do their own ? and therefore can not allow teachers and students were shocked, the exhibition is not important, what painting, how painting is still important that the text is difficult to check the current year, leaving only a few photos that show as testimony, it is important that r85 Fine Arts period, as mentioned earlier, like those groups, Hebei r85 and rich history of many. While the show did not cause any stir at the time, failed to shake the school's teaching order, but accompanied by Yue Minjun and his visual images continue to enter the mainstream of contemporary art history narrative, this does not pay attention to the three people who had been a small exhibition will revolve around the Yue Minjun and a sense of art history.
2, loneliness and confusion
four years of college life, Yue did not change the reality of the living environment and living, he was assigned back to the school prior to that environment, but on the identity of the workers turned into one of North China Institute of Education teachers. In that era of respecting teachers shouted, teachers did not seem as important than how workers and glory. And with 80 into an empty and lost, the social atmosphere was dull people breathe. but society did not make him boring too restless heart sinking, quiet down. Because I have a house, I go on like this, very good in this unit, but this society is changing, life so once, so for decades, why not choose one thing they want to make agonizing about it, there is no next life you still going on? adequate reserves.
3, no confidence in his teaching job, then he is hard to break away drawing of the complex, just want to paint, like paint. unit colleagues do not understand, parents strongly oppose, internal and external pressures finally run the Yue Minjun, so he sent their strongest voice ever, ; death they know what they are doing, and why do anything meaningful to do so, because he had established himself as the pursuit of life goals, and his thinking, his talent will be released at the right time his idea of perfect. So He resolutely leave system, embarked on a bohemian way, this family and society at the time appears to be a gap.
(b) It's survival of the environment in order to free the artist's identity as a means of livelihood, their desire is a spirit of independence and the pursuit of freedom. they are just beginning to be social media as a Department of Yuanmingyuan humble and Guajia Tuen Mun Village and other places gathered Yuanmingyuan artist village thus formed, and avant-garde artists became the main habitat. their enclave in a spirit of freedom and independence to pursue a height to the ideology of cultural imagination. was the Summer Palace, one can see young poor artist, but these people all seem so easy and free, have wanted to do their own thing in the dry. the artist's life, everything looks so good, to do an independent artist did not seem so difficult, the rent is low, the environment much better than the units, the most important thing is, I suddenly can shape your own life, the decision how to get every day, even the hair to stay long. I instinctively chose to compromise and obedience, would rather not take the means to come out sham say no! because I have not been convinced before, so do not bother to seek understanding of others. : In order to jump from the mainstream of contemporary art artists and art history into the mainstream of narrative logic, this is not an accident of history, but to a certain historical stage of social development the inevitable result.
Check the Summer Palace, also Yue Minjun's vision to become open up more and more widely the circle of friends is more important is the Summer Palace offers a unique way of atmosphere around them, gradually gathered a group of such artists. Start a new guest room, especially Fang Lijun, Song Yonghong, Wang Jinsong and, later, Yue Minjun, Yang Shaobin, and we drink together, play together often and rarely talk about art. This is very different party r85 period, that The artists used to tell me when the night talking about art, philosophy, and sometimes got into fierce arguments as a problem. And after 1989, the ,],[the other direction, it is also more consistent with the social and historical context at the early .90, Chinese contemporary art system has undergone significant change, as China's social economy from a planned transition to a market economy, the further opening of Chinese society, political awareness forms begun to fade, started growing personal awareness, people bid farewell to the r85 time that fanaticism and idealism pure humanistic pursuit, attention is generally focused on the survival of reality. the spirit of boredom, boring life, so that this generation people no longer regard art as a means of value with idealism, they are completely in accordance with their interests, or even to choose their own lifestyle art forms. critic Yi Ying and Li Xian Ting is acutely felt this change, ; with 80 l r a thing of the past student movement and the loss of heroism, when most young artists and young people, into a faith crisis, confusion and mental confusion, therefore, the new generation painters basically the image of a realist to express their own lives, but the mood is depressed on the screen, and it is disappointing; there is a type of ridicule, irony, and in subject matter and theme reflects the generation values, with a strong individualistic tendencies, and the emerging interest in urban culture, and 80 unofficial local realism there is a clear difference. Hunan Fine Arts Publishing House in February 2001 1st Edition P337] Xianting also expressed a similar view , no condescending view two generations ago, they painted themselves, draw their friends, relatives, painting everyday, trivial, boring piece of life. but also in the creative state of mind on the casual, normal living conditions as they like to joke all , Popi, humor to deal with, the work is filled with the atmosphere of this Popi. and this generation of artists is to face their true feelings to survive, and I'm from the young generation of artists who see the boredom and have at the time of Popi deconstruction of the meaning of ideology. , Yue Minjun is a typical representative of this period became a painter.
2, style early
1992 ~ 1993 years, Yue Minjun's personal style had first emerged, this time he have created a number of one duplicate rows of the image of existence in reality. narrowed in a crack. this painting is very easy to remind people of the Geng Jianyi created in 1987, challenges, and the They gave me some inspiration, I started doing row after row of people, rows of people have little sense of strength, but also a sense of ridicule, in line with the mentality I was also unhappy to vent the heart. has not drawn When rows of people always feel the power is not enough to draw more than one person, but also drew a person, painted before painting became more rows of feeling, then they would feel in line with their state of mind of the. (Yue, Li Xianting Dialogue) which has at least 3 points which gave us tips �� queue: queue up in society is a very common phenomenon, but a planned economy to grow in terms of people, it reflects that people in early A memory of childhood we are already used to develop a queue to buy rice to buy surface to queue up, buy meat to buy fabric to line up to celebrate the smashing of the In short, what should line up. Yue humor to the memory queue to switch to its own image, the same figure, the same expression, the same features and gestures seem to give the impression that the same ridiculous absurd and stupid, it seems to A cynical way of telling the story occurred in the distant past. to get in the queue is power, a repetition of inspiration. �� As for why the screen repeatedly to do with their own models, in fact, and as complicated as people think, according to Yue speaking, entirely from technical considerations, and that is no longer struggling to find models, and that simple. and was run Please send creative models are models put on a variety of shapes. At this point, once again reflects the Yue Minjun's different. , we must do it yourself, so that from the creative point of view, easy to grasp and convenient. The bar can always be yourself. . �� laugh: Yue Minjun's smiling image appears always in a state of giggles, laugh insensitive, lazy smile, smile bored, thinking that laughter is a refusal to smile, is head into the Water-like laugh. is a release of inner pressure to laugh. He has always maintained that only stupid people would laugh because laughing, people are not thinking. This to individuality, to the age of, play play without any serious trouble like a hippie in the From the grotesque, anxiety, confusion of the real urgency and helplessness of a breakthrough and expect a future of hope and vision. At this point Yue artistic vocabulary of the language repeat the rhetoric of Yue began more and more visual schema in a recurring, he also timely grasp of these features, and continue to strengthen these characteristics, so that they become more and more of a symbolic and stylistic tendencies. It is a matter of course Yue works to become constant and some themes and image. Yue finally find the words to their own way, with the attendant also ushered in the glory of his period of artistic development.
3, in the style perfect
art images of today's world, Yue Minjun and his image has always been to create an endless exudes charm, enough to show that Yue, a very strong creative artists. from his several changes in artistic styles, all people can feel his heart exudes the kind of thinking hard and fierce, but also allow people a glimpse into the evolution of his artistic thought continually track. updates every visual style is neither far-fetched, nor is it a whim, but with great concentration to establish in the social reality of contemporary art and thoughtful on. so his style and the style of the new discovery, can give a new revelation. a new era, the way people enjoy and value of reading works of art has undergone a fundamental judgments change, people look forward to the artist is no longer a far superior description of skills, but the artist's ideas and thinking, Yue clearly understands this point. his passion always thinking beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and have an amazing quality of life in the imaginary space. In his fantasy filled with arbitrary expression like the back, so that people look to the power of a boundless, endless endless romance and freedom and the passion and creativity. from the more and more interesting, appealing, more perfect, it is interesting. Now, Yue Minjun and the images he created in this era have been deeply melting blood. In Yue Minjun unique visual experience and secular experience, symbols of his virtue Characterization and expression of allegorical, more effectively forcing the reader to face the reality of their existence, and thus an image of the narrative, re-call back to the painting of social reality.
III Age of Mythology
United States famous Pop artist Lichtenstein painting has a subtlety of description: the brain, if the previous ; giggle me. conflicting information, a variety of logic and counter logic, sense and non-consciousness, reality and illusion, sad and happy atmosphere around it enveloped, Yue Minjun has begun to carefully weave one of stories appear to be a in contemporary society demands and present their view of the world a powerful weapon, which the other narrative, than the outdated linear story of a happy ending to better reflect the reality of reality, because it provides completely different from the survival of life we know mystery. in a lack of heroes, hero worship, idol gone era, just as Benjamin said, can not make a hero or idol come from? . people once they become idols, and he will be able to enter other people's blood, about other people's ideology. Frankly, idols in today's society has become very boring. life is not AIDS Idol did not do a taste, ridiculous . with a laugh the face of nervous, my motive was desecrated by idol idol, to make this society more interesting. society, with its fantastic style of wisdom and imagination in the visual image was a subversive world of the contest. The knock idol moved turning a blind eye to everything we face the long-numb the nerves, recorded the increasingly the monotony of the more superficial era, while more and more questioned this kitsch, little spirit and belief times, but one can not deny the fact that, in contemporary art, the indeed gave us another puzzle to create a myth of human-like.
(a) from the Copy of the Idol increasingly clear sense of up, he began to replicate themselves from the kind of ambivalence monotonous to disentangle his personal experience to enlarge the small of my life has become a social theme, and give it some kind of cultural metaphors in the This is the collective memory of a generation, a generation of collective life experience. The source is based on the collective memory of humanity's nightmare, it is not certain based on real events, but the contemporary social life, a part of everyday experience. similar works as well as parody, or that has a noble quality of goose parody, intended or Recall the times, because the it all unfolds, the mentality of a game and not serious look. letting people experience the kind of relaxed and joyful parody, allows people to experience the Yue Minjun and arbitrary selection of subject matter fun and freedom to express, he calmly control and skill of the , and often have deeply invaded our spiritual prostitution. the same color, same characters, but also at pains to really tells us a different content, which is Yue Minjun excels . In the We contacted all the things such as cars, cups, papers, books, hh, including the right to anything in the world, newspapers, food, and even the lack of news hh we just understood the deal, on the one hand, the concept of dealing with the lack of people think, most people only pay attention to one another in a circle on the screen, but hidden behind the portrait circle often turn a blind eye, so the issue was brought up again, people may no longer one with the
