مقال: تقليد وتزوير الأعمال الفنية

بعد رؤية إلى إي مقدار العمل الفني قد يحققه من المال والنجاح، والشهرة والمكانة الفنية الذي يحققه الفنان من مجرد إنتاج إي عمل فني؛ سبب في ظهور بعض الأشخاص يكونون طامعين للحصول على هذه الشهرة والمال والمكانة الفنية ولكن تنقصهم الموهبة الفنية والقدرة على إنتاج عمل فني؛ لهذا يلجئون إلى تزوير وتقليد العمل الفني الخاص بالفنان الأصلي من خلال طباعته ونسبه إلى نفسه، مدعيا انه هو من أنتج هذا العمل الفني، وبدأت هذه الظاهرة لأول مرة في عصر النهضة الأوروبية.

وقد توصل المزويرين إلى طرق مختلفة لجعل العمل الفني المقلد والمزور يبدو وكأنه العمل الأصلي، وهذا من خلال استخدام الشاي والقهوة لوضع بقع لجعل اللوحات تظهر وكأنها قديمة، أو استخدام التقنيات القديمة لإعطاء تأثيرات الألوان القديمة.

قديما كان من السهل التعرف والتفرقة بين العمل الأصلي والمقلد، ولكن مع مرور الزمن وتطور التكنولوجيا اصبح التفريق بينهم صعب وتحتاج إلى خبير يمتلك سنوات عديدة في مجال التحقيق من أصالة الأعمال الفنية للتفرقة بينهم، وقد يطلب الناس من صاحب العمل الفني تحليل عمله للتأكد من أصالته.

وكما تم الذكر سابقا أن الإنترنت والتكنولوجيا سهلت طريق للمزويرين والمقلدين؛ بسبب تقدم عمليات الاستنساخ الكهرومانيكي حيث يتم طباعة العمل الفني بشكل دقيق. مثل القضية التي حدثت في مدينة بازل بسويسرا، حيث تم الحكم على خبير فني سويسري الذي باع مئات المطبوعات المزيفة. وقضية أخرى حدثت مع تاجرة أعمال فنية في نيويورك السيدة سوزان شاهان، حيث قامت بشراء لوحتان للفنان آندي وارهول معتقدة إنهما أصليتان؛ بسبب صورهم عالية الجودة عبر الإنترنت. بعدما حصلت على اللوحتان بدأت تشك في أصالتهما؛ بسبب أوراق اللوحتان اللامعة والسطح تبدو حديثة، لهذا قررت السيدة سوزان استشارة المختصين، وعرضتها على المزادات الكبرى في نيويورك، لتكتشف أنهما لوحتان مزيفتان.

لأجل حل هذه المشكلة، قامت رئيسة القسم القانوني المسؤولة عن حماية حقوق الملكية الفكرية في نيويورك بمراقبة مواقع الإنترنت بحثا عن إي عمل مقلد. بالإضافة إلى منصات البيع عبر الأنترنت الرئيسية مثل أمازون وإي باي وغيرهم التي قامت من التخلص من إي المنتجات المقلدة، وفرض حماية على الأعمال الفنية الأصلية، وتقوم من مراجعة المنتجات المعروضة بشكل مستمر، ولكن مع ذلك لا تزال توجد أعمال مقلدة تجد طريقها للوصول إلى الإنترنت بطرق مختلفة.

الفن ودوره الاجتماعي والتربوي

الباحثة: د.صبا قيس الياسيري

تاريخ النشر: 2011

عدد الصفحات: ٢٤ صفحة.

بإشراف: د.سماء الهاشمي.

ملخص من قِبَل الطالبة: سكينة علي.

ركزت الباحثة على استخراج مشكلة وقضية تتمحور حول الفن والمجتمع، حيث ترى أن المجتمع العربي يقلل من أهمية الفن عكس المجتمعات الأوروبية.

وأرى أن من الضروري تسليط الضوء على هذه المشكلة، لما فيه من موضوع حالي وحقيقي ويمكن معالجته.

أوضحت الباحثة أن الفنان جزء من المجتمع وأهمية الفن في إبراز المجتمع وتأثيره في تحديد وتطوير سلوكيات الفرد؛ وعارضت فكرة إن الفن هو مجرد شيء جميل وللتسلية فقط.

كما وردت أن الفنان يستطيع رسم ما يشاء وليس بضرورة أن تكون طبق الأصل في تصوير كل التفاصيل الكبيرة والصغيرة، حيث انه قد يرسم منظر وسيضيف لمسته الخاصة تعود لثقافته التي ترعرع بها واسلوبه التي تمثل مجتمعه.

وقارنت الفنان الغربي بالعربي، حيث أن الغرب متطورين ومثقفين أكثر في الفنون والدول الغربية مزدهرة بالثقافة الفنية، عكس المجتمعات العربية؛ لأنها لم تمر بالتطور صناعيا وثقافيا واجتماعيا، وأعطت حلول للحد من هذا التقصير عبر محو الأمية ووضع مناهج فني مثل التربية الفنية حيث انه يعزز مهارة الخيال، وتمكن المتعلم من الوصول إلى حل لمشكلة.

Final work for Anatomy FA315 Supervised by Dr.Dalal Alsindi.

At first I found the drawing difficult to do, until I started doing it by using coloring pencils on sketch paper.

I had a hard time drawing the veins and merging the right colors. But studying this work was of course an interesting experience.

2- Logo Analysis:

Pringles's logo's lines are thick to give movement and depth. The colors are propiate and gives balance to the logo. The arrangment of the face and the text goes very well together, which makes it satistfied to look at. When we come to the meaning of the logo, the pringles stands for the crispy chips and the man face is a resembelance of it, so even the meaning and the emphasis is well applyied.

I think the logo is well done and suitable with the company's goal. The lines and arrangment is orginized and clear, the colors are not exatrated and instead they kept it simple in affective way.

2- Interview with a Graphic Designer:

My interview with the graphic designer Abed Marzouk.

1Q: Do you have someone or something inspiring you to design something?

The sources of inspiration are many, numerous, and almost everywhere around us in life.

2Q: Do you have ways or steps to get started with a design?

Yes. first, the nature of the project and all its dimensions and details must be understood before starting work. After that, a comprehensive research must be done about the content of the activity and the name of the project. After that, the thinking stage comes, then the sketches, and then the idea is implemented, revised and arranged. Finally, the idea must be presented in a clear, interesting and simple way to the client and this is called a mood board.

3Q: What are the difficulties you faced in this field?

Every project in this field is a challenge in itself, so there are difficulties facing for those who do the profession of design, especially managing a work team with it. One of the most important of these difficulties is how to convince the client of the creative idea and also accessing the mechanism for obtaining the same idea is one of the most important challenges in this field.

4Q: What distinguishes you from other designers?

It is not good to mention my good characteristics or speak positively about it, as it may be understood that it is a admiration or vanity, but I say that one of the most important characteristic of any designer or creative person is the originality of the idea, that is, it must be derived from his imagination and creativity and not transferred or quoted, as well as the most important characteristic of him is to be patient so he can find the idea and implement it in an impressive implementation, and also the creative person must be characterized by humility and not arrogance or vanity. This is a disease that affects many people, especially the creative ones.

5Q: And last question, how do you develop your skills as a graphic designer?

Continuous practice and access to various other experiences at the local and international level, as well as the weight of skills in courses, study and other things all of which contributed greatly to developing my skills.

1- Interview with a Graphic Designer:

Interview with Milton Glaser.

What Milton Glaser do all day is move things around until they look right and that is a good defenition of graphic design. Milton Glaser has been doing graphic design centuries, as he started back in the 40s and he still doing it partially; because he has learned nothing else and he loves activity.

He loves making things in his own experience, anything that he has discovered has come through the act of work or making things that the act itself is the path to discovery and one of great problems in professional life is when you working for a client and towards an audience is the fact that you have to be successful at what you are doing and it will drives you to repetition then it will drives you to immunity.

2- Talk:

Teaching art or teaching to think like an artist? By Cindy Foley.

People are more focus on teaching elements of art,  art history and foundational skills. But what people should learn and teach how to be creative, curious, seek questions, develop ideas and play.

What wallace foundation did with Harvard's Project Zero, which they found that number one thing quality art education can do in develop "the capacity to think creatively and the capacity to make connections." What alot pf people misunderestand is the message of art and creativity. Teaching for creativity means embodying the habits the artist employ and there are three habits: comfort with embiguity, idea generation and transdisciplinary research.

An artist would take embiguity, they indetify it and tackle it head on. An artist can came out with ideas that suits a certain generation or all generation. An artist would research for things.

1- Talk:

What Makes Photography Art? by Flore Zoé

The summary of the talk:

When she was 5 years old, she started to feel the need to create a story. But Everytime she tried to draw and paint something, the result is not what she imagine it, which makes her frustrated.

When she holds camera for the first time, she realized that she can put anything she wanted in the frame. When she steps into serious photography, she felt that it took her away from why she initially started creating.

When she was 26 years old, she lost her friend from ovarian cancer. Later on, she went to hospital to get cheked and she got a bad news. Because she was on time and her friend's death has saved her live. At that moment, she was back to creating no matter how dark the concepts are.

What does make photography art?

If you aunt took a picture of anything. She probably did not go to school and have freelance jobs on the side to finance her projects. She probably did not put any effort, time and energy into getting her photos to be seen and shown to the world. She did not study months and prepare on a certain subject, no writing elaborate concepts with in depth analysis on the why, when and who to create a certain image, no working on it together on a team day and night for that one perfect shot.

After 20 years, Flore Zoé saw her creations hanging in the gallery in Paris for the first time. Alongside masters like Picasso and Dali. At that point, she called her self an artinst and called her work 'art'.

2- Art Exhibition:

The opening of the exhibttion "An Encounter in Paris" in Abu Dhabi.

The exhibition at Louvre Abu Dhabi is the first of its kind in the UAE, and it collects 85 artworks by avant-garde artists from the 20th century. It opened their first exhibition in its new cultural season, "Changing Societies," under the title "An Encounter in Paris: Picasso, Chagall, Modigliani and the Artists of Their Time 1900-1939".

The exhibition, inaugurated by the Emirati Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development Noura bint Mohammed Al Kaabi, and the Chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism Mohammed Khalifa Al Mubarak.

This came in the presence of Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili the Head of the Community Development Department, Saif Saeed Ghobash the Undersecretary of the Department of Culture and Tourism, Mubarak Al Nakhy the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, Brigadier Suhail Saeed Al Khaili the Director of the Central Operations Sector in Abu Dhabi Police, and Ambassador of the French Rebuplic to Emirates Ludwik Bowie. Manuel Rabaté the Director of the Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi, Serge Lavigne the Director of the Pompidou Center, Jean-Luc Martínez the President and Director of the Louvre Museum, Anne Mane Oren the Director General of France Museums Agency, and a number of officials, ambassadors and members of the diplomatic corps accredited to the UAE.

The exhibition includes a collection of paintings and sculptures, including "Gustave Cocio" by Picasso 1901, "Portrait of Didi" by Amadeo Modigliani 1918, "Father" by Marc Chagall 1911, and "Girl in Green" by Tamara Dolembica 1927.

These works allow visitors to learn about the life and career of these artists in Paris through re-portraying the social and cultural scene that prevailed at the time.

The exhibition has opened its doors to visitors on Wednesday, and presented artworks from the most prominent avant-garde artists of the 20th century such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani, Juan Grace, Chaim Sutin, Constantine Brancusi, Tamara Dolembica and others.

It highlights the Parisian atmosphere that prevailed in the 20th century, when the French capital witnessed an exceptional artistic renaissance due to the influx of artists from painters, sculptors and photographers to it from various parts of Europe, Asia and America, noting that this group of artists included several women. After they were forced to leave their country due to political and religious persecutions or as a result of difficult economic conditions, they searched for freedom to express their art and for an environment that would allow them to exchange innovative ideas. Thus, the French liberal system under the Third Republic, which encouraged intellectual openness and tolerance, paved the way to many of these foreign artists.

The exhibition did not exclude the art of photography from it, as it includes notable works such as "Storefronts" by Florence Henry 1930 and "Nouveau Bridge at Night" by Brassay 1932.

The visitors will be able to learn about the development of the art scene in Paris during that era through a set of interactive tools, one of which shows the artists' journey from their native countries to Paris. Meanwhile, another allows the visitor to see how artists use color, to complete his experience in a space that reconfigures the studio of the artist Constantine Brancusi to shed light on the environment in which he worked and his relationship with the people he painted and his students.

As part of the Museum's family activities will focus on the exhibition through activities inspired by the artworks on display, so that all family members can discover the contemporary artists' style by using colors and shapes in the drawings.

It is noteworthy that the exhibition was organized by the Louvre Abu Dhabi in cooperation with the Pompidou Center and Agence France-Muséums, and it illustrates the extent of the contribution of artists who immigrated to France at the beginning of the 20th century in drawing the cultural scene in the French capital at that time.
