It is actually not difficult to explain upon closer inspection. Under the condition of relatively scarce resources, what is lacking is "abundance", so we always want more because it can give people a "sense of ownership." As life becomes richer and more developed, what we have is enough, so we need to exercise more restraint and start pursuing minimalism. The attitude towards life and attitude has also changed from "I want more" to "This is fine."
This can’t help but remind people of Morandi’s art.
"Morandi" is a lifelong unmarried man who has maintained a loyal gaze on still life throughout his life and created a "fashion trend" that is highly sought after in the contemporary era. He believes that the more simple and prosaic something is, the more liberated it is from redundant interpretations of the environment.
When you look at the still lifes written by Morandi, you will have an inexplicably religious experience, giving people a kind of spiritual comfort as gentle and elegant as water.
With its simplicity, abstinence, and quiet elegance radiating from the inside out, Morandi color has been endowed with the highest level of life and aesthetic taste, sweeping all fields of fashion and design. It can be said that the flowing fashion style and the iron-clad Morandi.
One of the biggest features of Morandi color is its low saturation. Low-saturation colors just reduce the impact of color on emotions, and have a soothing and implicit beauty. The profound sense of this color system is often more profound and conveys a higher level of confidence.
Precisely because the color saturation of "Morandi colors" is very low, even contrasting color combinations such as red + green, blue + yellow, only appear soft and bright, without high saturation at all The intense excitement of contrasting colors.
Morandi-colored clothes can highlight a person's temperament rather than clothing, and Morandi-style home decoration can calm the environment and bring out the aura and pattern of the space itself.
"Morandi colors" inspired the entire fashion design circle. Whether it is fashion, food, packaging design, or interior design, the use of Morandi colors will create a feeling of warmth and coldness, freshness and femininity.
In addition to the high-end tones, Morandi’s high-end is also reflected in the low-key simple texture. This trend of simple appearance but pursuit of texture has also become popular in the fashion design world. The once gorgeous luxury accessories began to become simpler and simpler, trying to convey a real and naive feeling. For example, some high-end luxury brands will use top-quality materials to design items that are as simple and simple as old cloth shoes.
The style of high-end customized luggage that was once a luxury standard has begun to change in the new season. Get rid of redundant design and recognition, and simply use a simple large Tote that is low-key and extremely simple.
Not only fashion and accessories, but also home items, are deliberately made of fine pottery to present this simple aged effect. Returning to purity and essence, discovering the beauty in simplicity, showing the difference between high price and low-key appearance, giving a new definition of "high-end".
Objects full of design are not necessarily luxurious, low-key things also have their appeal. This kind of Morandi-style design gives the most ordinary objects the most advanced soul, and presents the simple texture of the object itself in a low-key manner.
Morandi lived in a noisy and enthusiastic era. Artists all rushed to Paris, the capital of art, with excitement, but he decided to stay in his hometown of Bologna and spend the rest of his life with a room full of bottles and cans.
Therefore, looking at Morandi's paintings, it is easy for people to feel a sense of healing and calmness. That's because the person who gave them life has a peaceful and detached soul.
The beauty conveyed in Morandi's works is not only visual simplicity and tranquility, but also spiritual. When a person hopes to capture the essence of the world rather than just superficial phenomena, it is necessary to return to Morandi's art. Such a person will have a rare kind of purity, which is very detached and very advanced.
Therefore, the reason why Morandi’s art is advanced is not only reflected in the low-saturation tones and low-key and simple designs, but the most important thing is actually Morandi’s own pursuit of life.
?In fact, whether it is the way of expression or the overall state of life, Morandi is in line with the "high-end sense" pursued by the times. In the final analysis, this is actually a high level of aesthetics. If a person lacks the perception and love of beauty, the inner world will be empty, barren, boring and boring, and life will be simply "living".
Therefore, a person who does not understand art, even if he is as rich as his country, will not be able to achieve a spiritually rich and happy life.
So what is most lacking in society today is not cultural education but aesthetic education. There are fewer and fewer people who are illiterate, but there are more and more people who are visually illiterate.
