This ultimately comes down to the question, "What is painting?"。``Something similar to a painting'' = ``not a painting''、This is because the question of what a painting is is the other side of the question.。
The main topic is the picture.、It would be easier to give an example of sculpture.、I will do that。Sculpture = 3D = Sculpture、Isn't it? Cars are three-dimensional、no one calls it sculpture。The handbags in the shop window are also elaborate and beautiful.、I wouldn't call it a sculpture after all.。But、If a sculptor made this shape out of bronze, it would be called a sculpture.。in the same way、If a handbag is made by a sculptor, it is also a sculpture.。It's not a matter of the material, like metal or leather.。Well then、Is anything made by a sculptor a sculpture? the answer is yes、is。
One of the top contemporary painters、Gerhard Richter (Germany) said, ``(To me) everything that the eye sees is a painting.''。In that case, don't call it ``something that resembles a painting.''、Isn't it okay to say that it's all a picture?、I think so, right?。The point is、There is no meaning in distinguishing between a painting and something similar to a painting.、That's what I'm saying、Because it's Richter。like him、There are very few people who pursue the differences between paintings and non-paintings.。ordinary people like me、ordinary people need to think more。
I also recognize a picture drawn in the sand as a painting.。Pictures drawn in the air with a penlight are also accepted.。If a sculptor makes it、Anpan is also a sculpture.、It's a painting because an artist draws it.。Even if a school teacher draws it, it will not become a painting.。That teacher became a “painter”、It becomes a “painting” for the first time.。"Painter" in this case does not refer to the occupation column.、that person's personal、I am a “painter” as a mind.。unless you become an artist、cannot create works of art、and that's how I feel。
