Arriving at this independent exhibition hall dedicated to Van Gogh, you would not make noise before his paintings. Before his works, I lose my voice because all the sounds are directly conveyed from his paintings to my inner self. There, you can only receive the energy he imparts from within. His paintings silence you before them. This is truly the case. Moreover, his canvases are not large, but he indeed painted with his very life, creating with his entire being. His brushstrokes and lines cannot be simply compared to anything else. Look at this starry sky—it is the entire starry sky, the entire universe. It envelops this old cypress tree, the church behind it, and the entire earth. You would feel that this painting is essentially a cry for salvation. Look, this old cypress tree is in a state of lack, and so is the church behind it—yearning for salvation, life encountering the stark reality of needing to be saved.
Then, there is the fourth point: the relationship between philosophical meaning and scientific evidence. That which is related to faith, desire, imagination, and experience is inexhaustible. The dimensions of knowledge, experience, and technique can be fully encompassed, but the dimensions of aesthetics, faith, and experience are inexhaustible. Therefore, aesthetics is an inexhaustible world. No one can put an end to the world of art. Even after the invention of the camera all these years, look how high the pixel resolution of cameras has become today. Can painting and calligraphy, compared in terms of pixels, rival the camera? They cannot. But on one hand, there is photography, and on the other, there is art—they cannot be simply compared.
The second point is the meaning that can be fully conveyed, as in semiotics and iconography. Our Book of Changes is a comprehensive system of semiotics, and it is particularly rich with life symbols in Eastern semiotics.
