Master (posted by Song)

This art work's name is master. It consists of paint brushes, canvas, old photos and a large picture frame. All the things are old, and the black-and-white photos show the scenes of San Francisco in 1800's. The big picture on the back just contains five small photos. It shows the scattered memories of the past time, old acquaintances and human activities evidence. The large picture frame symbolizes the whole history of San Francisco, and the small picture just a part of the history, they are tiny fragments but meaningful. These small photos were clamped by old paint brushes which were used as photo frames. The brushes cover a part of photos, it seems that some old stories want to be hidden. It looks like that the brushes paint the diachronic picture scroll.
In my opinion, the topic of the art work are mysterious and reminiscent stories. it use old materials to show past human activities. And the pattern of manifestation is realism. I think if we look its details carefully, we can realize the colorful history and experience its charm. Old things always remind people of wonderful memories, recovering beautiful memories is a great method to make life fragrant. That all my feelings.
