Rampant is not overbearing, created in 2010.
In the history of the development of human society, there are many people who occupy the pit and do not. The same is true for art history.
In this society, the old and the new are always intertwined, always competing openly or covertly. We must guard the old one, do everything possible to maintain our own rationality, regard the new development direction as a flood of fierce beasts, heresy, and forget our ancestors for the sake of the classics, and we will want to die as soon as possible. New, like a seed to germinate, like magma to erupt, like a baby to be born, is unstoppable. In this kind of contest between the old and the new, the basic way adopted by the old guards is to be domineering, and the basic way of the new is to run rampant.
The domineering of the old guard is to defend himself by destroying the art; The creator's rampage is to perfect art by destroying the self.
What is the old guard? Interests. Vested interests, who wants to give up? "Anything that is reactionary, if you don't fight, he won't fall. It's like dust on the ground. If you don't have a broom, the dust won't run away on its own as usual." The struggle between the old and the new in social politics is often accompanied by bloodshed. The struggle between the old and the new in art is bloodshed even in the extreme, and most of them are exiles, and those who are so-called deviant are brought to the periphery, without food and hungry. The orthodoxy and unorthodoxy of artistic concepts and mechanisms have always advanced and retreated in the contest, orthodoxy is often stubbornly defended, domineering does not give way, and unorthodoxy is often a strong attack, rushing forward rampantly.
The Eight-Nation Coalition is coming, and the country is no longer a country, and the little emperor wants to change and renew. Cixi Lafayette was unwilling, killing the pass, exiled the exile, and holding the power to the end, too domineering, one is a hegemony against the trend of history. In order to keep the braids, in order to keep the footbinding, the old guards are domineering and not negotiable. The braid is the preciousness left by the ancestors, how stinky and beautiful the three-inch golden lotus is, in order to cut off the braids, in order to let go of the feet, the contest between the old and the new, the dead and the wounded, indescribable. Throughout the ages, until now, Lafayette in the art world, with his braids and feet wrapped in artistic concepts, is still domineering, and if he does not sweep, he will never withdraw from the stage of history by himself. Absolute!
The United States is very hegemonic in the world, and its fundamental purpose is to protect its own interests. The old guards advocate power, and in order to retain power, they must choose to be domineering.
The old guards guard their interests, and in order not to lose their vested interests, they will inevitably choose to be domineering.
The old guard is afraid of criticism, and in order to suppress criticism, he will inevitably choose to be domineering. The old guards hate creation, think that creation is a great rebellion, and in order to combat the new forces, they must choose to be domineering.
Whoever keeps the old will be domineering. This is true of society, and it is also true of art. Of course, history is ruthless, social progress is not subject to people's will, and all the old-fashioned hegemony that goes against the tide of history will eventually be swept away. Those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die, this is the avenue.
