Capítulo 1718: Chapter 897: Art
Dorothy really wasn’t trying to be pretentious with her knowledge of art this ti; she honestly just knows a little bit about it.
After all, in her previous life, she was just a hobody who listened mostly to various ani the songs. Although she found them pleasant, calling them artistic might be a stretch.
To be honest, during her hobody phase, she really didn’t understand art at all. Whenever she saw news about so art exhibition where a master’s work sold for an astronomical price, she looked at those artworks—whose brilliance she couldn’t discern—and just felt like she was a philistine with no eye for appreciating art.
Back then, her ability to appreciate art probably stopped at whether it looked good or not.
And even in this life, having transmigrated into a witch, her philistine nature doesn’t seem to have changed much; she’s still that superficial. However, thanks to the witch’s far superior sensory abilities compared to humans, she has managed to form her own modest opinion on artworks.
Hmm, to her current self, art is akin to her culinary arts, roughly divided into two aspects: pure technique and the intention carried within the work.
This even applies more broadly; many things in this world follow this principle. For example, swordsmanship is divided into Sword Techniques and Kenshin, while martial arts have Martial Arts and Martial Soul…
Well, since this is an idealistic world, the latter often outweighs the forr.
After realizing this, she could easily discern from previous world-famous works that true masterpieces often carry unique emotions.
So reflect the creator’s own feelings, like yearning or admiration, while others breathe the essence of their era.
Dorothy isn’t sure if her unique way of appreciating art is correct, so she can only claim to have a tiny bit of insight, which is a fact.
As for how to communicate with Miss Venus…
Alright, it’s ti to unleash the classic scribe mont of the transmigrator.
Sure, she didn’t intentionally attend high-end concerts in her past life, but in such a modern era, certain things were truly ubiquitous. You could always find world-famous works on street corners, TV shows, or even comrcials.
The hobody witch now has an eidetic mory, and all her mories from her past life are intact in her mory Palace. Thus, retrieving a few world-famous pieces from the nooks and crannies of her mory is quite simple.
Well, if nothing else, there was plenty of material to “borrow” from music class back in school.
And so, she has her repertoire.
As for recalling the music, well, this could be challenging for humans, as mastering an instrunt could take a long ti. However, for a witch, grasping the simple technical aspects of an instrunt isn’t difficult.
For humans, learning struggles often lie in taming their own “independently-minded” limbs—the so-called “the eye learns, the brain learns, but the hands and feet feel you haven’t yet.”
But as a Martial God, Dorothy had long since mastered control over her entire body. With just a glance, she could learn an instrunt, and after a little practice, she could drive even the most talented human masters to despair.
This is akin to learning like a robot.
However, just like factory-made food compared to handcrafted dishes, so people find automated performances less refined. Emotionless playing is similar; it’s rely replaying music and essentially makes one a music player, which can’t really be called art.
Although the hobody witch isn’t one of those “Soul Eaters,” she can sowhat acknowledge this perspective when it cos to the idealistic realm of art.
Emotionless playing is just reproducing music, essentially a transmit device; it isn’t truly art.
But it’s not a big deal. Whether it’s culinary spirit or Martial Soul, Dorothy has ample experience in imbuing emotion into things. Once you’ve reached a certain level, mastering one thod often leads to mastering all sorts of thods.
She is confident that she can infuse her emotions into her playing.
Thus, art is achieved.
Of course, she doesn’t think of herself as so top-tier art master, as she’s at best an excellent imitator without the creative prowess of true masters.
In this aspect, she shares a connection with Artie.
Senior Fanny said that Lord Demon King doesn’t understand art, not because Artie truly lacks knowledge of singing and dancing, but because Lord Demon King is nearly omniscient—there’s nothing in this world she couldn’t learn if she wanted to.
Therefore, saying Lord Demon King doesn’t understand art is actually a jest, as Artie, too, is rely an imitator, not a creator.
In a similar analogy, it’s like the difference between a chef and a gourt; both Dorothy and Artie are outstanding “art gourts,” but neither can truly be considered masters of artistic creation.
Perhaps this is what’s ant by the notion that science students don’t understand the romance of arts students.
Of course, this isn’t absolute, as whether Dorothy or Artie becos an art master only depends on their interest and desire to do so.
After all, Dorothy’s unreasonable bursts of inspiration can allow her to surpass any so-called master instantly, while Artie doesn’t understand art, but as the endpoint of all desires, the Devil King deeply understands the human heart and desires.
