Miss Mona really doesn’t want to meet any of her classmates at this time.
She is the president of the Women's Student Union, a popular figure on campus, and an excellent little queen. At this moment, the fragile look filled with tears was nothing like his former self.
If there is anyone she is particularly unwilling to meet.
Then it is Gu Weijing.
The moment she saw the other person, Mona even felt a little confused.
She always had a psychological advantage when getting along with Gu Weijing, feeling that she should be the strong, elegant and noble one.
With a trace of arrogance.
But now that my eyes are red and I have just cried, I am obviously insulated from the words elegance and pride.
Adolescent love is like a peacock with its wings spread. Whether Mona realizes this or not, subconsciously she does not want to show her small side to the other person.
"Yes, I did try to please Professor Cruz, and it was not very successful. But so what"
Mona wrinkled her straight nose and forced Suppressing the panic in his heart, he was ready to use sharp words to drive away this guy who appeared at an inappropriate time.
"I at least tried hard. No matter the result is good or bad, I don't regret it. What about you? How many days have you not been to the studio? Gu Weijing. If you use the courage to do the same thing, I will I think more highly of you."
"If you come to mock me and want to go through the back door, that's up to you. If you come to comfort me, you can go away. I don't care about your pity."
She scoffed.
"That's not the case. Miss Mona, we are good friends."
Gu Weijing bent over and shook his head.
He looked at the stubborn Indian girl and said warmly, "I saw the message you sent me over the weekend. I know you are worried about me. It's just that I was busy painting outside that day."
"Who should worry about you? I'm not your mother."
Mona pursed her lips.
When it comes to this matter.
The anger in her heart came up again.
I hesitated for a long time that day before I kindly sent a message to Gu Weijing.
As a result, she held her phone and waited for half an hour, but only the word "busy" came back.
What a big airs
Love comes or not.
It seems like I am rushing to beg the other person.
"When I got home, I wanted to contact you again, but you seemed to have deleted me directly."
Gu Weijing said softly.
"Oh, I do whatever I want, it's none of your business."
Mona said expressionlessly.
I deleted you just to say "I'm unhappy".
I didn’t block you. If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t try to add her back again
HerSneered in my heart.
Gu Weijing shook his head and stopped talking.
Mona saw Gu Weijing take out a piece of white sketch paper sandwiched in a notebook from the small bag behind him, and handed it to Mona.
"I don't know why I've made you angry recently, but Miss Mona, this is a little gift I gave you. I think this should make you happier than Jerry's roses."< /p>
Gu Weijing said with a smile.
Mona’s expression was startled.
On the sketch paper in the boy's hand is a sketch of a girl with long hair shawl.
This was completely different from Gu Weijing's usual sketching style she had seen before.
Not only are the painting methods very different,
The brushstrokes are also extremely exquisite.
In the painting, the girl’s face is slightly tilted.
The clean and bright pen curve pulled out a ponytail on the back of her head. She was wearing a dress with belts that fluttered in the wind. There was a bunch of gold rings on her bare arms, and a smile on her face. Bright and confident.
"This is my portrait."
Looking at the pretty girl leaping on the page, Mona's original anger towards Gu Weijing disappeared in an instant Most of it.
She is in an art class.
Given Mona’s popularity in her studies, there are many male classmates who include a sketch they drew for her in their love letters. As a way of confession.
Logically speaking,
Mona cannot be impressed by such a cliché as a portrait.
But this painting by Gu Weijing gave Mona a completely different feeling than those works.
The exquisite brushwork is one thing.
What’s more important is the emotion contained in the picture.
The very simple lines of pen and ink clearly highlight the girl's smart and confident temperament, making the painting no longer pale and seeming to be alive.
Mona fell in love with the painting instantly.
She understood that this sketch was definitely a very, very careful work.
It may even take a long time, countless exercises and scraps to complete such a painting.
It’s a pity
He should put this thought into his college application portfolio
“The boys and girls in other schools apologize, isn’t it? When you go to a concert, you get a new mobile phone, and at least you go to eat high-end Japanese food or French food. In the end, you just deal with me with a cheap sketch."
The arrogant Miss Mona. My heart warmed, but my lips were still full of sarcasm.
She glared at Gu Weijing, hesitated for a moment, and then took the sketch paper from the boy's hand.
"If you want me to forgive you, okay, I have three requests for you."
Mona thought for a while, and she held out three fingers.
"First, give up your idea of a big painting that is out of tune. It is good to have artistic ideas, but you should be down-to-earth."
"Second, you come to the studio with me at school every day at noon, after school, Saturdays and Sundays to prepare materials for applying to the university. I have already checked the information. In this year’s recruitment fair, the extra-point question given by the University of Rotterdam is fashion design. In addition to the basic portfolio, to be on the safe side, we also need to prepare about ten to fifteen additional fashion-inspired art designs. The time is very tight now.”
“Thirdly, Professor Cruz’s office is in Room 203, Building B, on the north side of the teaching building. I have something busy right now, but I ask you to go to the office this afternoon. It’s time to visit this professor. You are right, this lady is indeed not an easy woman to get along with, but she is the wife of a great artist and she has the right to be arrogant. In fact, your basic painting skills are better than mine. It is not difficult to leave a good impression on the professor. It is not difficult to become a student of Professor Cruz. Remember, the attitude must be respectful."
The corners of Gu Weijing's mouth twitched.
He listened to Miss Mona teaching him seriously in his ear how to please Mrs. Sakai, and felt some strange indescribable feelings in his heart.
"What do you mean by that expression? I'm serious."
Mona frowned and reprimanded, "You are so aloof at this time, you can't put down your dignity, and you can't do anything to yourself. It’s no good, you have to learn to be smarter. That fairy Kou Kou is going to show off to the new beautiful transfer student shamelessly.”
I stabbed Kou Kou casually first, Mo. Nacai went on to say, "The art industry is all about connections. Being able to establish a relationship with such a family of art giants may save you ten years of detours."
"Thank you, Mona. "
Gu Weijing smiled.
Even though the girl's tone was a little harsher, he could still tell that it was for his own good.
"Mona, let me ask you a question, are you willing to believe me?"
He looked at his childhood sweetheart and spoke seriously.
"What do you mean?"
Mona frowned.
“I think excellent art is penetrating. Even if there is only one good enough work, it will be more moving than a hundred mediocre paintings. As for the studio, only by being close to life can you paint true paintings. Moving paintings, I found a better place to paint than in school. If you are willing, I hope to invite you to my new studio to paint together."
Gu Weijing explained patiently.
"You have been my best friend since childhood. I am happy to share all the good things with you. Even if you can't attend Mrs. Sakai's improvement class, it doesn't matter, if you believe me. Then I am also willing to take time for you to design a portfolio and guide you in painting"
"Okay, that's enough"
Mona's face darkened, her pretty little face Frosty.
“I don’t know how to live or die, who do you think you are to conquer the judges with a painting? If this is the wineI believe what Miss Jing said. This is the funniest joke I've heard this year. "
"Gu Weijing, I never knew you were so naive. You thought you were a great painter after getting a few good grades in school. Even your grandfather Gu Tongxiang is just a second-rate painter in an art desert."
"Sorry Mona, please believe me. I have my reasons, but I can't tell you right now. "
Gu Weijing stared into each other's eyes.
Mr. Cao's matter is a private agreement, and the content of the paper written with Sakai Katsuko also needs to be kept secret for the time being.
There is another reason that is troubling his mind.
Since talking to Mrs. Sakai,
Gu Weijing is a little confused about how to handle the relationship with Sakai Katsuko. Relationship.
Especially in front of Miss Mona, who I have a vague affection for, I am a little afraid to mention it.
Of course Miss Katsuko is very good.
p>But if he asks himself now,
Which one is more important to him, Mona or Miss Sakai, it is probably Mona who has a deeper relationship since they were together since childhood.
"You don't need to apologize to me. If you insist on having your own way, reality will slap you in the face. As for me this is my answer to you. Gu Weijing, you are really disappointing. ”
Mona folded the sketch at hand into a ball, threw it into the trash can on the side, stamped her feet angrily, and turned around to leave.
The reading room in the afternoon was quiet.
There are only the rustling sounds of documents being flipped quickly, the sound of typing on the keyboard and the occasional conversation.
“In Ms. Carroll’s writings, the technical characteristics of Impressionism are very mature. . For this point of view, we can reflect Shapiro’s theory of still life painting."
Gu Weijing entered work mode and temporarily put what happened in the morning behind his mind.
He Flicking through the marked notes on the document, she expressed her opinions softly.
On the other side, Katsuko Sakai's white fingertips danced lightly on the keyboard of a small laptop, moving them. The inspiration for the completed paper was entered into a complete manuscript.
“By the way, I actually have an opinion. Should we revise one of our speculations about Carroll’s true identity as Monet’s lover? Is the view with his first wife Camille too arbitrary? This possibility is too small. "
Gu Weijing's fingers paused slightly on a point written by Sakai Katsuko in his notebook.
"A century and a half has passed. Can we find the original Information about the artist himself is very unlikely. "
Sakai Katsuko explained, "My father's point of view is that it is just a guess anyway, and the more bluffing the content, the better. ”
When they started writing the paper, although Carroll’s specific identity was still unclear to them.
But Uncle Sakai still suggested that heSeveral theories have been given about Carroll's true identity.
This is a little trick when writing a paper.
Liberal arts papers, especially art papers with a certain "archaeological" nature, often rely purely on guessing the owners of some unknown works.
It's like a hunter firing a few shots at random in the empty woods. If you finally find that you've hit a duck, you're naturally the best.
The value of the paper is doubled.
If you miss, there will be a few gunshots to scare the readers, which is also good.
You can call it watery, but this is almost an unspoken rule among knowledgeable people in the industry.
There are many more outrageous clickbait situations than Uncle Sakai’s suggestion of placing an unknown Impressionist work on Monet’s wife’s head.
Classic examples include a large number of unknown Eastern Xia and Han Dynasty tombs that have been argued by n professors in n different articles to be Cao Cao's tombs.
In the end, both the academic community and the media were tired of hearing the news about the discovery of Cao Cao’s tomb.
But there are positive examples.
For example, the famous businessman Schliemann was a fan of ancient Greek legends. In the 19th century, he dug a lot of places in the Balkan Peninsula. Whenever he dug up something, he announced that he had found the ruins of Troy.
The academic community thought he was talking nonsense,
In the end, one day he happened to be fooled by him, and he became famous overnight, becoming the same name as Carter, who discovered Tutankhamen's tomb. , Coldwell, who discovered the city of Babylon, and Shampolian, who deciphered hieroglyphics, have also become important figures that cannot be avoided in archeology.
Among the several preliminary lists they have put forward that may be Carroll, the most important name is naturally Monet's first wife Camille.
"Although the two of them have certain similarities in names and similar ages. Camille's hair color is clearly recorded as dark, and according to the missionary's diary, the young The hair color of the female painter is a rare golden red."
"It may be that she dyed her hair," Sakai Katsuko said.
Since it is just a random guess.
From a rational perspective, there is a high probability that Carroll’s true identity will not be verified.
So whether it is the market value of the old church in the thunderstorm or the academic gimmick of the paper, it is better to place this painting on the head of Monet's wife than to place it on the head of an unknown little painter. Much more valuable.
"It will probably be about ten years before commercial hair dyes are widely promoted by L'Oreal, so the possibility of hair dyeing is not high."
Gu Weijing shook his head.
“I found it through Uncle Sakai and found it in the Paris telegraph register stored in the French Archives. At that time, in the block near the Moulin Rouge in the red light district where the Impressionists often gathered, there was a studio owned by The female is called Kara. I personally think we can use her instead of Carmel.Anti-theft free reading
