Why is the sculpture Aphrodite of Milos praised without arms?

Originally, Milos's Aphrodite had hands, but the author removed them after completing the sculpture.

Now it is praised because of the mutilated beauty of the sculpture, and the sculpture itself is very beautiful and perfect, which can be called the treasure of sculpture works. The body is plump and Arodo, showing the charm of a woman, she is a symbol of beauty, and the sculpture gives people a symbol of eternity.

Because there is room for imagination......

Venus is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology. It is a legendary symbol of love and beauty.

By the time she was found, the statue had lost an arm. Still, people call her the perfect art. Isn't the missing arm a mutilation?

Can it still be a perfect work of art? To answer this question, we must first figure out what perfect repentance is. Perfection is no defect in Bigaoyou, there is no art without defects at all, different art standards, different evaluations.

Besides, flaws themselves are a kind of beauty, and there is no such thing as perfection in life.

There are countless works about Venus in the West, and the mutilation of the arm does not affect the value of this work of art, and perfection is the highest evaluation of this work of art.

Created at the end of the 2nd century BC, this precious work of art was discovered in 1820 on the island of Milo in the Aegean Sea, and after 1821 it was collected by the Louvre. Become an outstanding representative of ancient Greek art. This creation of beauty, full of humanistic spirit, is a model of ideal beauty in the Renaissance.

Therefore, the statue of Venus is the pinnacle of perfect art, a monumental work of art.

The "Aphrodite of Milos" is a marble sculpture "Aphrodite of Milos", completed about 150 B.C., now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, and is one of the three treasures in the Louvre's collection.

The reason why Aphrodite of Milos gives people a strong sense of beauty is that in addition to her face having the typical characteristics of a Greek beauty, and her body precursor has the characteristics of female beauty, she has a square posture, solemn and elegant, reflecting youth, fitness, purity and abundant vitality, and is a symbol of the unity of physical beauty and spiritual beauty.

Please analyze from the aesthetic characteristics and other aspects: why is the sculpture "Aphrodite of Milos", that is, "Venus with a Broken Arm", praised without arms?

Because of the loss of Min Wei before, there are many statuettes who want to add two arms to Venus, but the visual effect is not as good as the previous mutilation, at some times in certain places. Incompleteness is also a kind of beauty, and this is what many artists nowadays say: the beauty of incompleteness.

There is a theory that Venus was dug by Iorgos, a Greek farmer in Milos, in the spring of 1820 when he was plowing the ground. When it was unearthed, Venus's right arm was drooping, his hand was caressing his clothes, and his upper arm was stretched over his head, holding an apple. When Louis Brest, the French consul in Milo, learned of this, he rushed to Iorgos' residence and offered to buy the statue with **, and Iolcos agreed.

However, since he did not have enough cash on hand, he had to send Cuvier to Constantinople overnight to report to the French ambassador. After hearing the report, the ambassador immediately ordered the secretary to bring a large sum of money and go to Milo overnight to negotiate the statue of the goddess. At this time, the peasant Iorgus had sold the idol to a Greek merchant and had already shipped it on a ship.

Cuvier immediately decided to intercept it by force. When the British learned of this, they also sent ships to fight for it, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the arms of the sculpture were unfortunately smashed in the melee. Since then, Venus has become a goddess with broken arms.

This is just a rumor, and it is not certain that it is true, and it is also believed that the statue lost its arms as early as the Greco-Roman period, when one thing is recognized: the statue's arms were lost when it reappeared in the world. For nearly two hundred years, there have been many attempts to put arms on the statue, all of which have failed, because the broken arm of Aphrodite is undoubtedly the most beautiful, and the broken arm will not only not damage her beauty, but also give people room for imagination, so "Aphrodis of Milos" is also called "Venus with a broken arm".

This thing is like the stump of Chinese seal carving, the pursuit of a kind of simple and incomplete beauty, when the artist's artistic perception of the realm has developed to a certain extent, usually the artwork created is pathological, unusual, different Only in this way can the author's personality be highlighted There are usually two endings: the tragic one is notorious, and the adult is famous!

Buried in the ground for so many years, it was broken, not to mention the arms, and the noses of many statues fell off.

The work may not have a broken arm at the earliest, it may be complete, just like the goddess Venus is not perfect when she has no broken arm, but she was found to be perfect after she broke her arm, and the reason why you said this is a broken arm is because he was considered to be able to bring out his beauty best after he broke it.

...Excuse me. The younger brother came to brush up the scores.

Originally, there were, but when I knocked it off during a transport, people found out that it looked better than the original after it was dropped, so it was handed down.

Because it leaves unlimited room for the audience's imagination.

A breakthrough in vision and thinking!

It is also the most basic method of comparison!

There is also a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat!

Because in the past, there were many statuers who wanted to add two arms to Venus, but the visual effect was not as beautiful as before.

At certain times in certain locations. Mutilation is also a beauty.

This is what many artists today say: the beauty of incompleteness.

Force. Being able to carve a stone into such a slow and vivid dynamic can be seen that the art of carving hail amusement.

The skill of the artist is extraordinary. Although"Venus"At the time of his discovery, already.

Special identity. So it adds a bit of mystery and the worship of man. So she's in fine art.

It has today's status in history.

This sculpture without arms implies that its shortcomings have become its greatest strength.

It's time to have an arm, it's just a shape, but without an arm, it's up to people to imagine a variety of different shapes.

People live to find things to be grateful for in difficult situations.

Everyone has their own different personality and characteristics, and positive people will see their strengths and make use of them, and live happily.
