I am an ignoramus when it comes to the art of painting. But such a noble act of human spirit - the flame of eternal value it kindles - has never been extinguished in my heart, and I would like to be a believer and admirer of art, and always maintain a humble posture for it. Now, a great fact seems to be proving the value of this art - the auction, the magic gavel, watched by hundreds of eyes, in one hand, repeatedly raised and lowered, and finally, it fell to a false applause - the market price of a painting (while the market price of a painting is not the same as the market price of a painting). The market value (not the value) of a painting is created. It may be equivalent to the sum of the earnings of 10,000 average workers for several months or more. And an official statistic says that nearly one twentieth of the world's population is currently mired in poverty and hunger caused by war, famine, disaster, etc. (and they hardly need to know about art). If the God of art, who allows divine inspiration or spiritual candles to instantly illuminate the heart of an artist, makes him concentrate on something and obtain divine enlightenment - creating art or works of art of universal value to the human spirit. In hindsight, this labor is undoubtedly a sin. This may not be true. Artists are never sincere and kind, and often still poor, like Van Gogh. So what manipulates all this. Making art and artists a pair of brothers in misery, while the bigwigs became the protectors of art and artists, and ultimately the owners of artworks. After grabbing huge material wealth, their insatiable hearts opened their mouths full of darkness and stench - devouring art. And how many others fantasize about joining the ranks - the old big boys are not yet dead - new ones have already been born. They are even greedier. When art is reduced to the private goods or self-interest of some individuals or small groups, is it a progress of human civilization, or a retreat? I don't think anyone can answer this question. So is there a common spiritual utopia for human civilization? I guess with a positive attitude, I just hope so. But I have never been optimistic about this. Fortunately, in the midst of the winter that the poor need to face, the fire of hope keeps burning inside them.
