I finally have to draw a picture

"Dendrobium" watercolor

I finally have to draw a picture。義務ではない。仕事でもない。as my life、I have to draw a picture to summarize.。

I've been drawing a lot of pictures so far.、I'm still drawing it though.、For some reason, I don't feel like I painted my own picture.。If it stays like this、without drawing a picture of myself、It's that worldly thing.、I've gotten used to thinking about things like this.。Fujimi myself (Fujimi x、I, who believed that I was immortal,、That's right。

Well then、What were your previous paintings? That means。It will be “quite a little miso”.、Until now、I'm sure it's not like I've been drawing "other people's pictures."、Even if I look at my own work now、I think that my worldview is reflected in my paintings to some extent (I guess this is called ``smugness'').。But、Something's missing。
I want to draw a good picture、This is different from。There are times when I think I have drawn a ``good picture.''、This is when I am drawing the worst picture.、What is that?、Because I have experienced it deeply in my life so far.、I have already graduated from that dimension.。What I wish for is、Maybe it's the guy who says, ``I had a world like this too'' or ``I can't live like this anymore.''。

It's like a historical drama that he dies immediately after drawing it.、Because he's from the past.、Please take that seriously、``If this person had lived a few more years,、I could have drawn a more interesting picture."、I want to die painting a picture that makes me want to imagine it.。differently、I don't want that kind of evaluation.。My desire to draw pictures that make me feel that way、This is the one I want to take with me to the afterlife.。

ukraine war

"Peony" watercolor

If you look at YouTube etc.、There are many channels about the Ukraine war.、All of them seem to be watched fairly well.。Unlike civil wars related to tribal conflicts in developing countries,、between well-known developed countries、And it's not like a fight over some small island.、It is natural that there is a lot of interest as it is an all-out war with the survival of a nation at stake.、As far as Japan is concerned、Speaking without fear of misunderstanding、for many people、Probably because it's real entertainment.。

Even in a desperate fight、As long as an unrelated third party can view it from a safe location.、it can be a kind of entertainment。at the Colosseum in ancient Rome、Like a spectator watching a duel between a prisoner and a lion.、Or a dying zebra being attacked by a hyena.、There is no need to mention the example of tourists taking photos with smartphones from safari vehicles.。

But、As many have already pointed out、The war in Ukraine is by no means something that can be watched from a height.、It has nothing to do with Japan.、I think too。if、If Ukraine loses、It was almost against one country, Russia.、America、Nato、It would be tantamount to Japan and other allied forces losing.。Even at the United Nations、There will no longer be any countries that will listen to what America has to say.、Germany in Russia、Nato is split between France and the rest.、Even if China invades Taiwan、no one can stop me anymore。Russia and China will eventually compete.、For the time being, they will be the two biggest leaders in the world.。

I don't think it's pessimism.。It's a very logical conclusion。South of Tokyo is Chinese territory、There is also a non-zero possibility that the north will become Russian territory.。それがウクライナ戦争の、日本における意味だと思います。日本を含め、欧米は確かにウクライナに大きな援助をしています。But、対岸の火事感、一種の観衆感を拭い去ることができません。ウクライナは負けそうです。援助も遅すぎ、少な過ぎ、制約あり過ぎで非効率、と言われています。このツケは、そう遠くないうちに自分たちで支払うことになるでしょう。now、そうならないことを祈るしかできませんが。この記事は、ウクライナ戦争に対する、現時点での自分自身の記録として書きました。

"Picture" and "something similar to a painting"

"Bud - German Iris" watercolor、pen etc.

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。
