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。

"Enjoying pictures" -2

"Great turtle tree" watercolor F6

In modern times、Just write a few simple sentences、The software will draw an “original” picture for you.。If you want to sell、you can also sell it。There is no shortage of platforms to sell it.。the person you want、With people who just look at it、At least in appearance、Just like oil paintings and watercolors、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、You can share the fun more easily。

In terms of "fun to watch"、buy ukiyo-e prints、Edo people enjoyed pasting them on sliding doors and folding screens.、There was a long line in front of the museum.、Some people clutched their tickets to see the masterpieces.、Some people share pictures drawn with AI by chatting with many people while lying in bed.、Each person can “enjoy” in a way that suits them (whether there are options or not).、There may be no difference in that.。

The pictures drawn by AI are created based on "statistics".、It is clear in theory。Paintings made with a brush are based on "sensation"。What is based on、Curling seems to be called "chess on ice"、They look different, like water and oil, but、Sensation is connected to experience、Experience also seems to be (loosely) related to statistics.。Even in each statistical image data、It probably reflects personal feelings and experiences.、more than I feel、It may actually be close。AI in an extremely short period of time、It is also starting to be easily accepted by society.、Is that what it is?。

But、at least i、Unable to share the “joy of drawing” with AI。If you think about the reason carefully、Maybe it's because AI "doesn't have the pain (of birth)"、It occurred to me。Even though we're talking about sharing "fun"、It may be a contradiction to bring up the idea of ​​sharing “suffering”, but、It is an inseparable part of the "joy of drawing"、it's definitely there。Even for people just looking、I can imagine the author's suffering.、have some experience。It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.、A deeper sense of empathy was born、I feel like that。
