The Alpha Seer understanding true art

THE UNCLOUDED MIND OF LEANDER S. HUGHES

Filed under: Uncategorized — MASTER BEN LAU @ 11:28 pm
FIGURE 1: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES BW 001
FIGURE 2: ALPHASER SUMMER HILLS SERIES BW 002
Which one is the “before”, and which “after?”


Solution: BW 002 (FIGURE 2) is the “after”, and also the final, final version of the Summer Hills Series,–I promise!

Black and white compositions are tough. Color can distract and disguise. Not so with black and white!
If you only look at the white,– you can see that the total white form in 002 is now more anchored than ever, compared with the other versions in the same series.
It does not take a genius to see it,– even though it does take one to work out a perfect composition!
Alpha Seer means just that, –artistic genius!
So have another dose of contempt for folks like Andy Warhols, Rauschenberg, Andrew Wyeth, Edvard Munch, Jackson Pollock, and what not,–everymen imposing as artistic geniuses!
Why?
Perfect compositions in art, as in music or calligraphy, are the exclusive games of the artistic geniuses!
If you think kindly and lovingly of Mozart’s greatest compositions as certain divine efforts, and regard Wang Hsi-chih’s calligraphy as sublime, you would not doubt that the everyman does not have the capability in producing great art, or perfect compositions. You would certainly agree that your next-door neighbor, or John Doe, i.e., the Everyman, for that matter, is incapable of working out a perfect composition even if they have wanted to,–only an artistic genius like Mozart or Wang Hsi-chih can work out something so gem-like, stuffs that are made only in Heaven! Even a child understands it as much! But the academics are the ones that are foolish enough to disagree or to query that. Do you know now, why I have often asserted that the academics are the stupidest types in humanity,–not because I have any resentment for academia, but simply because that is the truth!
STUPIDITY UNSURPASSED!
The academics cannot even fool a child,– yet they go on fooling themselves and each others, especially those who are heavy with herd instincts, like you or your next-door neighbor, who think of attending museums or galleries as a status symbol,–or the acquisition of an Andy Warhol, a classy act!!!! Blind folks all: all of you have been doused,– from head to toes, with delusions of grandiose as well as all the postmodern conceptual nonsense in the world!



******************************************************************************************

Not too exciting, huh! — true art never is meant for excitement. It won’t be able to entertain you,–it simply is. Why would an aware mind constantly desire entertainment? Only dull minds need it, as dull minds always get bored.
True art nourishes your mind and spirit. If you have found no use for true art, the problem is on you. This nation has found no use for true art. Americans, or the postmodern folks living in developed countries in general,  need Hollywood, sports, technologies, gossips, T.V. shows or soap operas for their entertainment. Without those they simply cannot be. Some even go to the length of abusing substance or alcohol, showing how tired of life people in developed countries are, or how much boredom there is.
True art, the vehicle to beauty, is beyond them. True art has nothing to do with a people who have generally lost their spirit!
Anyway, at least you know now what art is, being pointed out by the Alpha Seer himself,–and free of charge too! You can now brag about something new you have found, which is not in any part of your old habit or experience, something that has a bite, giving enough heartache to old- fart academics! Where else can you get an art lesson like that?
Now you can even tell the academics to get lost! They are the blindest fish in the water but they always pretend they know everything about art! They know nothing in truth. Theirs are the stupidest minds in humanity!

Because of your ego, however, you may not have learned to be grateful for these art lessons yet. But that is your problem!
Leander S. Hughes has had that problem sorted out long ago! He always come back to thank the Alpha Seer for the art lessons!– not that the Alpha Seer has desired it,– but that one can discern the graciousness that is Leander S. Hughes!
Leander is an English professor today, teaching in Saitama University, Japan. He is married to the beautiful Emiko Ito.
Leander is one of the few smartest persons I know,–his mind bright like an unclouded moon!
Look deep into Ben Lau’s Summer Hill Series 2, and so on, . . . Next look at a masterful Chinese calligraphy, compare the compositions, the intricate intertwining black and white forms, those delightful Yin and Yang elements in the universe, . . .
FIGURE 2A: TANG DYNASTY MASTER YAN’S CALLIGRAPHY

Join all the dots together and you get calligraphic forms that are so divine, so kindly to your spirit,– such self-same stuffs that universal harmony has been made from, . . .
Can I now prove to you that Master Yan’s calligraphy is beauty, and beauty is timeless?

–NO, CAN YOU,– understand it yourself? –That is the more important thing!






******************************************************************************************



Keep hearing blind folks say, look at all the perspectives, . . .

WHAT IDIOTIC SUGGESTIONS! When you are blind what perspectives are you seeing?

Be a Leander today. Be THAT unclouded moon.

OUI, monsieur: there is only one such moon hanging in the wild vast sky!
Take all risks tonight, even for as much as one single moment– since that is your eternity!


Is that not something your soul seeks? Let your soul choose,

— from the choiceless!


the alpha seer through whose magic is created the strangest stuffs in the world,– like bright moons….
NOW LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL WORK, CREATED ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO, THE EROTICA AMERICANA, . . . .
Look, look, and look again,–look until you swoon, or pass out from all worldly attachments, get it?

That is your eternity,–minutes and hours do not exist in such reality, that is precisely why it is so precious,. . .
All the chatterings in your mind can be traced to its origin in the silence created by that gazing, . . .
In the silence, longing is killed, as you are fulfilled,– and anchored like stillness itself.
**********************************************************************************************************
FIGURE 3: EROTICA AMERICANA
FIGURE 4: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES BW 002
Like the hero swordsman in the Sui Dynasty, who had baited his villain for 10 years, then finally apprehended and beheaded him,– the Alpha Seer has successfully apprehended and destroyed old Erotica Americana ( otherwise also known as linocut 9) (FIGURE 3)— painted 10 years ago, and has created a new order, entitled Alphaseer Summer Hills Series (FIGURE 4).

If one eyeballs the two in a rapid-fire manner, one would realize that the new order has done away with all the attachments,– the last vestige of the silly, the narrative and the sentimental, becoming human in the process, and finally makes the leap to the divine!


In his essay, In Praise of the Alpha Seer (http://thealphaseer.com,) the tragic genius York Febres recognized and foresaw the purpose and use of one of the Alpha Seer’s inventions, a precise way of bringing all the arts under a common denominator in order to determine the presence of divine relationships in any composition, — i.e. the Supreme Mathematical Relationship.

With Alphaseer Summer Hills Series BW 002, the Supreme Mathematical Relationships inherent in its intertwining black and white forms serves Painting really well as an explainer of sorts, by calling upon both Calligraphy and Music to validate itself as a legitimate work of art.

If you focus only on the total white form you will see how it dances among the black and embraces it like a song,– or some vigorously beautiful calligraphic movements from the Tang Dynasty.

You should be able to see similar thing if only the total black form is being focused upon, since black is the complement of white, and vice versa! That being the reason for doing art: i.e. with  black serving as the complement of white and vice versa,–an artist already has his hand full in sculpting new forms out of nothingness, giving names to what was previously unknown,–why would he need anything else in the world for subject matter? HE WILL THUS CONTENT HIMSELF WITH THE FACT THAT THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ART IS ART ITSELF! Hopefully this extraordinary utterance, originally pronounced by the great American master Knox Martin, is not too hard for the layman to understand.

No one exactly serves the other as a background: The black is not the background of white, nor is the white , black. That is the major teaching of the masters of great compositions from time immemorial!

After listening to Mozart or Haydn intently, you may perhaps pin down its composition in mid-air as though you are translating it into a painting on a wall,–or you may think of yourself as providing important aspects of visualized forms under the influence of the composer’s multiple melodious ones,– eventually you are able to trace the composition’s movements, rhythms, dynamic and all, vibrating and dancing gloriously to the tune of the same kind of divine relationships found in masterful paintings.

You are then looking at the explainer of all arts, an invention by the Alpha Seer,– the so- called Supreme Mathematical Relationship!

Now Alphaseer Summer Hills Series XXX , or Alphaseer Summer Hills Series BW 002 is offering something that Mozart can really smile on, or both Wang Hsi-chih and Knox Martin may mutually enjoy. ( Wang Hsi-chih is one of China’s greatest calligraphers of all times.)



******************************************************************************************


Folks, if you still don’t know what art is, tough luck!

The understanding of true art, it seems, does not require a superb mental constitution, but it does require a superb awareness of one’s own ego.

Was Leander S. Hughes the brightest of them all at the Rudy Perpich Art Center?
I tend not to think so! The thing is, Leander had been well aware of his ego!
He learns that the moon would lose its brightness if covered by clouds.
That is why his own brightness is so extraordinary,– and his mind so clear and unclouded!

ACADEMIC: THY NAME IS IMPOSTOR!

Filed under: Uncategorized — MASTER BEN LAU @ 1:00 pm

FIGURE 1: AWESOME WOMAN SMILING BY THE GREAT KNOX MARTIN

Academic: thy name is Impostor!

SOME YEARS AGO THE ALPHASEER WAS NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK THAT IF HE’S GOT HIS MFA DEGREE (THE SO-CALLED MASTER OF FINE ART DEGREE,) HE MIGHT EVEN HAVE A SHOT AT “COLLEGE ART.” THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, HE HAD BORROWED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND DUMPED IT ON A COMPLETELY GARBAGE PROGRAM OFFERED BY MXXD, OR MINNEAPOLIS COLLEGE OF XXXX.


HERE ARE SOME MAJOR ABSURDITIES BEN HAD FOUND IN HIS “WONDERFUL” 2 YEAR MFA PROGRAM AT MXXD:



The MXXD “mentor”, a full- fledged old fart by profession, told my wife, Kate, who had often wondered why, on the topic of Art, Ben Lau (the MFA candidate) seemed to be the only one who had contributed to the dialog, this:

“At present I’d just listen to what Ben has to say about art, next year I shall start teaching!”

Kate simply was not convinced, as she knew that Professor Aribert M had next to nothing to offer on the topic of art after visiting the latter’s website,– seeing what kind of “paintings” he did.



******************************************************************************************

Referring to a Rothko painting projected on the wall, one Patricia B, Ph.D told her class admiringly :  “Oh, Mark Rothko is my god!”

The Alpha Seer could not help it, so he asked Patricia what was so “godly” about Rothko, who is no more than a conman and impostor, in his opinion.

The Alpha Seer’s question had instantly aroused the herd instinct of the rest of the class, who believed that the Alpha Seer had gone overboard by “ridiculing” their “beloved professor”, Patricia B, Ph.D, in front of everyone. They had not believed that the question was a very legitimate one!

And there is another thing about Patricia B, Ph.D that I must add here. Professor Patricia B. had the misfortune of writing her “doctorate dissertation” on Matisse.

What an irony! Matisse would turn in his grave!
And I am pretty sure Henri Matisse would speak thus,


” What the fock are you talking about?!
– come, come kiss my arse, Patricia B: you dirty little academic bitch!”


Patricia B., Ph.D often bragged to the class about how super long her “Matisse” dissertation was,– a full 300 page,– and so on, …..! Perhaps that’s precisely why she had earned the status of the “beloved professor?”


The beloved Leader Kim jong il, the great Helmsman Chairman Mao, mein Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, the great Leader, Joseph Stalin,  The great Ayatollah Ko-mean-nee…..


Ring a bell ?


******************************************************************************************

Then it turned out that once the Alpha Seer had offended someone in a close-knit circle of academic associates, he was required to pay heavily for it. It does not make sense to the rest of the world, but in academia, territorial attempts were being made by the academics in order to maintain a cartel of authority within their spheres of influence.

It sounds incredulous but that unfortunately was what the Alpha Seer had gone through! Later on that same year, the Alpha Seer had to attend the U of X for a required “art history” course, and had he the good fortune to come across another like-minded academic by the name of Jane B., Ph.D! She turned out to be an associate of Patricia’s, as well as Diane M’s, another reigning Ph.D at MXXD. Let me make an aside here: no one should take Professor Diane M. Ph.D. for granted,– that’s the advice, pal! One should keep his head low by all means whenever you walk past the professor or her kinds! If I were given only one choice, between a mad dog and Professor Diane M. Ph.D, –i.e., I must pick either one to take on before I could safely exit a disaster, I would rather have the mad dog any minute! Picking on Diane M. Ph.D is going to turn a bad situation worse, –much worse! “Feminazis” is the catchwords that came to mind in naming such academic bands. A cartel of powerful academic females banded together for the ultimate destruction of the patriarchal order in society. Given such ideological orientation, there is very little chance for academic objectivity or neutrality in the colleges at any given time and space.
**********************************************************************************************
And was it ” Truth and Freedom” you had told me earlier that you intended to seek there, — such admirable institutions of Learning ?

Ha, ha, ha, use your head, my brilliant young man!
***********************************************************************************************
Anyway, because of their common enmity against true art, harsh treatment for the Alpha Seer had naturally become the order of the day. Since the Alpha Seer can never pretend to put his interest elsewhere, other than in the works of the true masters such as Van Eyck, Titians, Velazquez, Zurbaran, Claude Lorraine, Rubens, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Knox Martin, Ingres, Cezanne, Degas, Matisse,  Picasso, or Van Gogh, etc., he found himself very much at odd with the theories and philosophies of those intellectual eunuchs.
Look, here was a bunch of feminazis, whom I at first naively had assigned as of neutral, or even harmless, poison-less monstrosity, given the situation that we were all existing within some institutes of learning, thinking that perhaps we could all exist in peace with each other under the roofs of MXXD and U of X. But was I so very much mistaken in that assessments! Those were in fact hardcore academics, who had zero tolerance for opposite views, and absolutely no understanding in true art,–about which the twisted, mistaken notion was that art in a male- oriented society have been produced, since time immemorial, for the gratifications, pleasure, or delight of the patriarchal males, thereby enhancing and entrenching its structural significance in society, particularly in regard to the subject matter of female nudes, a time-honored genres often associated with the works of the old masters,–but taken by them, instead, as glaring examples of sex exploitation,–that in their mental frameworks such art must be condemned, exiled, and annihilated at all cost!
Anyone who had the unfortunate experience of battling the feminazis learn that you cannot reason with them,– intellectual eunuchs and zombies are they!– the same can be said about their mentors, the so-called “art historians” such as Clement Greenberg, Michael Foucault, Marcel Duchamp, or Arthur Danto!
So you see, the Alpha Seer had found himself doomed right from the start! But huge amount of my money and resources had been expended on the MXXD “education”,– by Mid-program, exit was not easy!
To make a long story short, here’s what I had to pay for, for “insulting” the academia at the grad. school. Despite the fact that the Alpha Seer had been exceptionally active in Jane B. Ph.D’s class, participating enthusiastically in every discussion and completing every project in a timely manner, and with flying colors, he was to receive a “B” for his Final Paper on a technicality,– which had great weight on his overall performance in a so-called art history class. (No art, pay attention to this: was ever discussed in that class,–instead, Professor Jane B, Ph.D believed that the human genome can one day become a substitute for the masterpieces of the old masters.) Lo, what kind of fraud is being committed in the name of art history today!!!!!)
Then finally MXXD informed me that they were unable to transfer my credits from an outside university unless my paper’s got an A.


See how that game was being played in the academia, guys?


But that was not all. With my hard-earned MFA, I was simply unable to get so much as an interview in my subsequent applications for teaching jobs. The fraudulent academics, being deeply territorial at heart, simply would not hear from an outsider championing true art!

Because of the academic degrees you have stolen from a blind world? WOW–you must be so much smarter than Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso combined then! WOW, You must be so exceptionally smarter than that one man army, the great master Knox Martin then !

WHAT IS A COMPLETE WORK OF ART?

Filed under: Uncategorized — MASTER BEN LAU @ 5:57 pm

FIGURE 1: EROTICA AMERICANA

*********************************************************************************

FIGURE 2: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES X

*********************************************************************************

FIGURE 3: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES XX

**************************************************************************************

FIGURE 4: ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES XXX

**************************************

complete or incomplete?

About 10 years ago the Alphaseer created the awesome alpha seer linocut 9, otherwise also known as Erotica Americana, (Figure 1) That was a new burst of energy as the style points to a direction that I have not traversed before. Without a doubt, the metaphors are awesome. However, it was just an image sitting on an incomplete composition. In other words, something is missing. Perfection has not been achieved yet, even though the metaphors are gorgeous. Composition is everything in true art!

The Alphaseer lets it lay idle, as there are only 2 persons in the world who can tell what he is doing, the great master Knox Martin (of course) and my wife Kate(one of the smartest persons I know). So it does not matter whether the piece is perfect or not until now. If one eyeballs the two in a rapid-fire manner, it is possible to tell the difference. Again, the Qi of the second piece, ALPHASEER SUMMER HILLS SERIES X, has been strongly enhanced by removing the unnecessary from linocut 9 and installing the essential in Summer Hills.
After careful scrutiny, one should be able to tell a million dollars job apart from a essentially incomplete piece. Therein lies the ultimate authority of true art.
***************************************************************************************************
WHAT IS QI ?
Now even the Alphaseer himself must look and look and look, . . . .  at his own work, before he can finally and safely say it is a complete work!

In Figure 2 and 3,
X is the “before,” and XX is the “after.”


Qi has been greatly enhanced in the “after” version, i.e. the XX

What is Qi?
Qi is the life of a composition.
In Chinese, it means air, but  of course there is a much more profound meaning associated with that word.
The Hindu sages think life is only possible with Qi.
Are the ancients smart? Yes, they are very, very, smart!

See it for yourself, folks! Eyeball the two diagrams, Figure 2 and Figure 3.
Seeing is believing!
Is my painting finally complete now?
I can only tell you later, as I must go on looking, and looking, and looking, ……
In other words, it must be more than a million dollar job,– it must go beyond even that, since great art is divine!





******************************************************************************************************
BAD NEWS FOR THE ACADEMICS,–(WHO CHAMPION ACADEMIC ART AND MEDIOCRITY BECAUSE OF ARTISTIC IMPOTENCE) :

Now for those who feels that one can determine the quality of a painting in 3 minutes, please take note,– and there are billions of you guys out there in this world: wow,– in 3 minutes?– like Professor Kinji A, or Aribert M,  Patricia B, Ph.D, from a  prominent art school; or Jane B, PH.D, from the Art History Department of a local university,….why? Do you really think you are smarter than the Alphaseer?  What is your reason? Because of the academic degrees you have stolen from a blind world? Wow–you must be so much smarter than Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso combined then! Wow, You must be so exceptionally smarter than that one man army, the great master Knox Martin then !



*********************************************************************************************************


In music, we should understand that there are as many impostors as there are sand grains on the beach. Wagner, Berlioz, Smetana, Mahler, Debussy, Prokofiev, Copland, Ravel, etc., etc., etc, . . . . you can even name some yourself,– or let us play this little game here: just give me any “composer’s” name, and I can guarantee you I am able to veto it without a second thought!

Believe me, my friends: Haydn, Bach, Mozart, Beethovan, Vivaldi, Handel, Schubert, Dvorak, and a handful of others, whose names I cannot recall off-handedly, are the only musical masters in the world! That has become the basis of my guarantee, since the real geniuses are so rare in number!

Not buying it? All you need is go sit down comfortably in one peaceful afternoon, with delicious tea in hand, and do nothing but listen attentively to the compositions from the various composers named above.

Then compare! Musical compositions are generated with sound energy,–  somewhat similar to the light- generated compositions of arts. After comparisons have been made, I can almost warrant that you will now begin to hate the impostors and eventually lose all patience with them,–my guess is: a child being yelled at, or a broken CD, maybe, ……!

The reasons for that are very simple: impostors’ musical compositions have no appeal whatsoever for your spirit. Their works are wasting the precious moments of your life and they are cheating the entire world for some very selfish purposes.

Yes, vermins of Humanity, you’ve got it!
How would you have guessed? That is precisely what the Alphaseer wants to say about them!

Finally, please lend some clarity to your inner eye, for true art’s sake: the performers of musical compositions are no masters,–“technicians” is all I can give them.

You can say there are better or worse technicians,–but with the masters, everything is absolute,– absolute and divine! Absolutely divine,–there you go!
***************************************************************************************************************
THE ENDGAME
Now look at Figure 3 and 4:
If XX IS THE “BEFORE,” XXX IS THE “AFTER.”
If XX is a 2 storey building, then the lower floor has no Qi. The Alphaseer must generate this Qi, making it available in both upper and lower floors.
That answer is XXX.

“Voila, le peinting fini!” Like Cezanne said. (hey, izzy, what is French for painting?)

The Alpha Seer has come into his end-game after deep meditation in beauty,
–a prolonged absence from all things worldly. . . .
DISCLAIMER: THIS GAME IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT, DON’T TRY IT AT HOME WITHOUT SUPERVISION, AS IT IS A GAME FOR THE ALPHA SEERS ONLY!

AN IN-DEPTH ANALYTICAL  EXPLANATION OF THE ALPHA SEER’S MOVES IN THE ENDGAME:

Since in reality, you cannot simply move things about like moving furnitures inside a building,– the rejection of foreign matters must be dealt with! A surgeon would face similar problems during an operation on his patient. As soon as something from the old order is annulled, the incoming event must agree well with the existing state of affairs, i.e.  agreeing with those structures that remain behind,–in terms of continuity, relationships, balance, movement, dynamic, etc., etc., etc., … In other words, it is not a mechanical operation and then, methodical connection,– rather, it is a full fledged “medical” procedure upon flesh and blood!


BUT ENOUGH!!!!! we are already venturing into WORTHLESS theories,  bloodless speculations about art,  aimless generalizations, programs, styles, or methods as I am speaking, see the danger?–so let’s not go there!


*************************************************************************************************************


Why am I doing and saying all this?  It is so that you are able to discern, from an Alpha Seer’s point of view, how fragile a perfect composition can be? Compare this seriousness in attitude with that of the Everyman artist’s, who paints and draws totally at his whims, i.e. erratically, sillily, temperamentally, sorrowfully, egoistically, …..  ( Their batle cry being, “Anything goes!” remember? for them, even human faeces in a jar can be considered art!) and then the same chap has the temerity to call himself/herself a “painter,” or even a “master,” like our friends, your favorite “artists” Andy Warhol, Rauschenberg, Pollock, Dali, Kandinsky, Duchamp,  favorite “art critic” Arthur Danto, Munch, O’Keef, and favorite “composers” Wagner, Copland, Ravel, Mahler,  etc., etc., etc., . . . .–are you still wondering why impostors are being condemned here?

Excellent lesson, Ben!

At first I was fooled by the lack of color in the original into thinking that it was the more concise of the two, but a second glance revealed the perfection of SummerHills which hits straight to the essential metaphor with no unnecessary frills to weigh it down- Dark and Light interlocking in an eternal love embrace!

Love,

Lee

THE ALPHA SEER’S COMMENT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC:
Many years ago, a young man came and thanked the Alpha Seer for a wonderful art lecture given to his school,– amidst the uproar created by the Alpha Seer from pointing out the truth about art. The young Leander Hughes had refused to share their herd instinct reacting to the lecture with jeers and loud comments.
Today the same man continues to thank the Alpha Seer for the recent art lesson. Leander S. Hughes has since become an English professor working at Saitama University in Japan. He is married to the beautiful Emiko Ito of Tokyo.

Is Leander the brightest of them all? I tend not to think so. The brightness of the moon is dimmed because of the cloud. The ego is the cloud. The minds of the other students were clouded by their egos.  Leander was aware of it, that is why his brightness was so extraordinary!

THE FLOW OF THE QI IN GREAT ART

Filed under: Uncategorized — MASTER BEN LAU @ 7:51 pm

Figure 1: ALPHASEER SATYR X 1 (ABOVE) AND ALPHASEER SATYR X2 (BELOW)

Good compositions require a perfect flow of the qi, somewhat like Fung Shui. This version, X2 here, appears to be a somewhat more fluent way of expressing almost identical visual metaphors than an earlier composition, X1.
