| The Edge of Silence. The new exhibition at He Art Museum at the end of the year is of high quality, and I recommend everyone to go and see it! In addition to the main exhibition "Beyond the Wilderness" mentioned last time, my personal favorite exhibition is "The Edge of Silence" featuring works by American artist Milton Avery.
The museum has ingeniously juxtaposed Avery's works with its collection, and the exhibition is like a dialogue between Chinese and Western art. Slowly savoring it, you will find many interesting details.
Most of Avery's paintings are depictions of landscapes, and he is very good at using different paints, combining them with fresh tones, and conveying the warmth and elegance he wants to express through the interpretation of colors.
Avery was once a representative of American Impressionism, with Impressionist painting as the core of his painting and expression, and at a certain period focused on abstract expressionism. In this regard, I think it is similar to the Chinese freehand style of landscape painting, which is more about the expression of artistic conception and the feedback of the author's inner world.
Several sketches in this exhibition have light and calm tones that seem calm but are very eye-catching. Whether it is depicting a pine tree, a wilderness, or the same stream, he always presents them in the cleanest way with the most elegant tones and simple brushstrokes, while conveying his quiet and peaceful feelings. The works are like depicting a girl's thoughts, delicate and warm. It also echoes the theme of this exhibition - The Edge of Silence.
After a day of viewing the exhibition, I felt much more peaceful inside. This is probably the charm of art. Paintings do not speak, but the amount of information and the depth of feeling they convey is something that a forum or a class cannot provide.
It can be said that the quality of the recent new exhibition at He Art Museum is very high and worth visiting again and again ❤️
