Whole Picture Is Stringently: Take, for instance, the simple statue-like quality of each figure, consisting of clear, uncomplicated forms, compact like columns, almost motionless like sculptures. The whole picture is stringently self-contained and composed symmetrically, with each figure next to a Wall and a glimpse of eternity in the centre of the picture between them Another element which contributes to the general impression of consistency is the way in which the two figures relate to each other in this scene: the tranquility of the seated musician is counter-balanced by the relaxed position of the other man, who is listening to the music and standing with his feet pointing in different directions.The advantages to the buyer are obvious. Does it seem like a bad arrangement for the photographer? At first glance it might seem so, but when this same picture is sold over and over, perhaps fifty times in the course of years, the photographer eventually realizes a handsome total return for his effort in shooting the picture for stock sales. That's why the stock picture photographer doesn't get rich quick, but enjoys a long-term income advantage for his work. Many a picture has earned, over a period of years, more than $1,000 in fees.
After decades of living under stringently imposed rules, people are now sensing the chance to work together to build a modern, economically vibrant China, one that offers scope for individualistic lifestyles and personal ambition. This transformation is being shaped entirely to a Western model. Now a number of Chinese artists and designers are raising critical questions about the course of change. |
