"Why are there two identical paintings?"
At the coffee table, the translator's tone revealed surprise, "How could this happen? Did the program make a mistake?"
In her eyes, the picture frames held by the judge's left and right hands were almost identical, with no obvious difference.
Is one of them a copy, or is the same artist painting two identical paintings?
“No, these are two different works.”
Sakai Katsuko blinked. After the initial brief shock, she realized what had happened.
“Two painters use the same technique and the same angle to paint. Both are absolutely excellent painters, so the effects will be similar.”
Colliding paintings
Besides Le Louise, there is another painter who also used the exact same painting method in the seven paintings.
They also chose colored pencils and a realistic style.
Both parties used Mr. Hyperion’s photo as a template for reference, so the final effect was almost completely similar.
Miss Sakai observed the two illustrations in Anna's hands that were mirror images of each other, trying to see the most detailed differences between them.
In the matter of realism, mediocre people paint all kinds of strange things.
But a true master can be infinitely close to reality.
The fact that the translator couldn’t even tell the difference between the two illustrations illustrates the excellence of these two paintings.
"Jian Arnold's painting style tends to be cartoon style. He is not a realist painter, so these two paintings are not his works."
Kosatsu Taro is just an arrogant character , not without ability.
He is the successor of Komatsu Painter and is very familiar with the art styles of the masters.
He hardly needed to think about it to decide that this painting was not painted by Jane Arnold.
Then
It’s the mysterious internet painter
But this painting looks too good.
"That shouldn't be the case. Such a painter can also sell illustrations part-time on the Internet. He doesn't even have his own professional contracted gallery and art agent."
Kosatsu Taro made a quick estimate, If you are in Komatsu Gallery, you can achieve the status and income of an excellent painter who can draw something close to the effect of a photo.
In the art trade, illustrations are actually not very popular. They are relatively low on the contempt chain and are considered to be children’s art.
If you tell an oil painter that his paintings have an illustration style, they will think you are swearing.
Japan and Germany are countries that prefer illustrations, but old art countries like the United Kingdom and France still prefer oil paintings, and illustrations cannot be sold at high prices.
But there is one market exception.
That is America.
Americans can even regard comics as precious works of art. Old Europe has always regarded this as a typical example of wild boars that cannot eat fine chaff.
It has the artistic quality of either of these two exquisite illustrations, plus there are suitable publicity channels.
“Throw it to New York, polish it for a few years, and you can earn an annual income of 300,000 US dollars, and you can be considered a rich man in the New York Bay Area. Why do you want to work part-time as a cheap painter on the Internet? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Kosatsu Taro's tone was full of confusion.
He felt that he saw a famous thoroughbred horse that could have made a name for himself at JRA Osaka Central Jockey Club, the largest commercial sports event in Japan, but went to pull a carriage in a rural area like Yamagata Prefecture. .
Is this a fucking kick in the head?
"Mr. Komatsu, maybe President Komatsu has protected you too well, so that you don't know the cruelty of this world."
Sakai Kazunari turned his head and made a fat nasal sound.
He came from a poor student background, so of course he was not poor. However, in the circle of art students, where family conditions are generally relatively good, Professor Sakai's family background can only be described as shabby.
When he was in college, Kazushi Sakai used to pay for the tuition fees for studying in Spain. He drove his broken-down third-hand Honda and wandered the streets of Tokyo as an art tutor for the children of wealthy families. , and once sold sketches to others while hiding from supervisors at tourist attractions.
Even his favorite dish, beef roasted bird, could only be eaten once a week. At one point, his body fat percentage was only 16, and he was starved to death.
Hearing what Taro Komatsu said at this time, he was a little unhappy, "It is unreasonable and arrogant to put your own ideas into the world of ordinary people."
"Not everyone has it. I have the opportunity to be exposed to a good artistic environment and a stage to express myself.”
“I was once invited to study in Central Asia and went to Kyrgyzstan before the 1990s. Many famous artists. These outstanding art students from remote countries could be sent to the center of the empire through the education system within the Soviet Union, and then radiated around the world through the amplifier of Moscow. However, in the past 20s and 30s, the art there had ceased to exist. , not because there is no new outstanding blood, but because they have lost the ability to contact the world's avant-garde trends, and people only regard it as an isolated art desert."
"Many paintings are very good. A painter who never gets a chance to express himself in his life."
Mrs. Sakai saw that Sakai Kazunari's tone was a little too harsh and wanted to say something.
"Oh, what Komatsu said is right. Selling paintings online for a living is a bit too unconventional for artists."
Professor Sakai did not answer this question The wife's point of view is submissive.
He shrugged and asked, "If every painter could get a status that matches his ability, then Van Gogh wouldn't be unknown all his life, wouldn't he?"
When this most fateful figure in the history of art miserableAs soon as the legendary painter's example came out, there was a brief silence in the cafe, and no one spoke anymore.
"This world is really big."
Sakai Katsuko slowly exhaled.
She originally thought that she had been exposed to the best art circles in the world since she was a child, and she had also met all kinds of outstanding young people.
Unexpectedly, when she came to Yangon this time, she not only met a young art student like Gu Weijing who was her own age but was not much inferior to her.
Now in Mr. Hyperion’s new video, a random online painter who appears out of nowhere shows something similar to that of a professor from the famous Breton Academy of Fine Arts. Painting skills.
Sakai Katsuko’s eyes flashed with excitement and a hint of loss.
If Gu Weijing, a peer of his age, only brought him a competitive spirit to compete and win.
This unknown internet painter brought her, the talented girl who was touted by the Japanese media as a once-in-a-century talent, only frustration.
A layman can watch the excitement, but an expert can watch the door.
She knows that
the level displayed by these two illustrations is already a completely different level of competition.
Kosatsu Taro, who was scolded by Professor Sakai, is silent now.
Kosatsu Taro suddenly realized something. He lowered his head and was busy pressing the phone.
"Hell, this could be a wild genius painter."
Kosatsu Taro no longer cares about why this mysterious illustrator makes a living selling illustrations online.
He wanted more.
I originally wanted to get in touch with Professor Lei Louise, because he judged that as long as Professor Louise's paintings were impressive enough, he would take advantage of the popularity of Mr. Hyperion's new video and the popularity of people's topics.
The professor from the British Academy of Fine Arts should have a considerable increase in net worth.
However, compared to the professor at the British Academy of Fine Arts, the illustrator who is still selling paintings online is obviously a better choice.
Just think about which one is more profitable: processing ready-made gold bars into gold jewelry and selling them, or discovering an unmined high-purity gold vein somewhere.
Compared to well-known painters who have become famous, any gallery or oil painting agent is more inclined to dig out some unknown treasures.
According to the internationally accepted benchmark contract, the share contract between the gallery and the agent artist is approximately 37.
In other words, a painting can be sold for 1,000 yuan, 300 yuan goes to the gallery, and the remaining 700 yuan goes to the artist himself.
However, this general ratio does not actually mean much.
Whoever is more important in the contract between the painter and the gallery will have greater room for choice.
Komatsu Gallery has no reputation in the marketThe commission for a newcomer's first contract is generally over 65%. Don't be too disdainful, it's similar internationally.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with this ratio. It is a great honor for a newcomer to be noticed by Komatsu Gallery, which has rich art resources.
But when you reach the level of a well-known painter, this ratio will continue to decrease.
At the level of Uncle Sakai, the choice is once again in the hands of the artist himself.
They usually hold long-term contracts. If they want to poach such artists, the signing fee alone starts at several million dollars, and this is just the beginning of negotiations. You even need to consider giving them a certain amount of money. of dry shares.
Komatsu Gallery is only No. 1 in Osaka, but not in the world. If you don’t offer astronomical amounts of chips, why should they let you represent them?
“No, wait a minute. The two paintings don't seem to be the same."
Uncle Sakai's head suddenly stretched forward. He squinted his eyes and looked forward as hard as he could, as if he wanted to get away from the painting in Anna's hand. The box is closer.
He worked so hard that he even made Professor Sakai's long-lost neck reappear.
Mrs. "Yicheng" asked strangely.
"Something is wrong, something is really wrong."
Uncle Sakai stared at the screen tightly and suddenly coughed, "Although I can't see clearly in the current video, I can't Confirm who painted the two paintings, but the second one is obviously better."
"And I feel even better than I expected." Please remember to bookmark it. The latest website is the fastest and free to read.
