These two words are often heard, especially when the peers are underestimated. Criticizing whoever's painting is not good, after listing all kinds of shortcomings, it is inevitable to add: "It's too crafty."
The person who said it seemed to be high above, and after saying these two words lightly, they said that there was no need to talk anymore. The people listening to the side are usually younger and more impatient, hoping to quickly summarize a standard and knowledge, so they will come to the following conclusion: First, it is really difficult to be a painter, and if you are not careful, you will become a craftsman. Second, only talented people can become painters, and those without talent are just craftsmen no matter how hard they work.
That's what I thought when I was young. In the past few years, I have gradually come up with different ideas.
A craftsman, a craftsman who has a real understanding and grasp of his work, has produced a utensil that already shows a high degree of beauty and sophistication. And a craftsman who is talented and willing to work hard, what he makes is completely a beautiful work of art!
isn't it? For thousands of years, how many amazing and cherished works of art have not all come from the wisdom and skill of artisans? Isn't every museum in the world full of such evidence?
Therefore, the use of the word "craftsmanship" to describe some unnatural and artificial paintings is still appropriate, but it will always be misleading - giving us the illusion that we can change careers if painting is unsuccessful. Craftsmen believe that craftsmen are inferior to painters in terms of talent and effort.
Isn’t it unfair to those craftsmen who have been passing down rare objects for thousands of years?"
