On the trading market,
it is clear that they are all paintings created by the same great artist in a similar painting period and have similar sizes. Logically speaking, the selling prices should be similar.
In fact, counterintuitively, there is often a price difference of several million dollars or more between these different single works.
The reasons for this fluctuation are excluding differences in the historical background of creation, popularity in the public eye and exhibition experience.
The biggest influencing factor is the artist’s creative state.
The poor performance of some pictures is objectively caused by artists trying new painting methods that they are unfamiliar with, or due to occupational diseases such as occasional attacks of wrist arthritis.
There are also some that they really didn’t want to draw properly.
Even when Picasso was in his forties or fifties, his art style was already very mature, and he was even the most famous painter in the world at that time.
But it is still easy to find some poorly painted works.
Gu Weijing thought that his skill in painting these paintings might not be much better than his current level.
The kind of work that clearly looked perfunctory, he speculated, might have been due to lack of money and money, so he finished the painting casually and still gave it to the art dealer.
They are all paintings signed by Picasso.
Whether they are the worst kind of works, ordinary works, masterpieces, or super famous paintings like War and Peace.
The difference in perception they bring to collectors may be greater than the distance between Guo Degang and Liu Yifei in front of others.
The price range can range from a low of 10,000 US dollars to a high of more than 200 million US dollars, and the difference can be more than 20,000 times.
Normally,
In the 1940s, if you bought Picasso's works with your eyes closed and sold them half a century later, the average return rate could be 10,000%. Almost all of the above have doubled a hundred times.
But if you have particularly bad taste and have bad luck, you may just buy Picasso’s more “outrageous” paintings.
The increase will be very small.
Taking into account inflation and the depreciation of the US dollar, there may be losses.
This kind of thing is quite common in the literary and art circles, whether in the fields of calligraphy, painting and literary creation.
Painters in the early Qing Dynasty were like noble artists like Bada Shanren. A high-ranking official came to ask for paintings and calligraphy. If he felt that the other person was a rustic and couldn't shirk it, he would deliberately paint. Very bad.
None of these works can reflect the original level of the creator.
On the other hand,
Those who can make the artist say after finishing the work, "Fuck you, you can do this. I'm a fucking genius. I have such a big dick. I have no regrets in this life." "This kind of emotional work.
It is much higher than his normal level.
In his early years, Fitzgerald wrote second-rate scripts for half his life, and in his later years he wrote countless bad plays.Because he wrote The Great Gatsby, he has since become the greatest writer in American history. Even the old European literary circles, which have always thought that Americans are all idiots, have also greatly praised this, and his status is almost equal to that of Mark Tu temperature.
It is similar to painting.
In the field of painting, there are many painters who only painted one famous painting in their lifetime and have enjoyed very high status since then.
After the Muse’s Blessing Candle skill card was drawn,
Gu Weijing discovered it, and the system automatically placed it next to the Baiyi Tree on the virtual panel. An unlit candle symbol is shown.
Gu Weijing tried to click on the small candle.
So,
The side of the candle icon looks like a tree diagram, with many branches extending, and there is a plus sign behind each branch
Painting Techniques
Sketch Techniques v4 Professional Painter First Level 23675000
Chinese Painting Techniques v4 Professional Painter First Level 11565000
Oil Painting Techniques v5 Professional Painter Second Level 3910000
Watercolor Painting Techniques
Gu Weijing tried clicking the plus sign behind the sketching technique, and the system immediately popped up a corresponding prompt.
"Whether to activate the small candle of the Muse and upgrade the sketching technique to the second level of professional painter 110000 remarks current option, the skill can last for 857 seconds"
857 seconds.
Ten minutes is definitely not enough to draw a serious sketch. Maybe if he moves quickly, it will be enough for him to draw a simple sketch.
Gu Weijing canceled the interface and tried switching to Chinese painting techniques.
"Whether to activate the small candle of the Muse to upgrade the Chinese painting skills to the second level of professional painter 110000 remarks current option, the skill can last for 728 seconds"
It is also the first level of professional painter. The duration of skills of the first level is slightly shorter than that of sketching.
It should be because his Chinese paintings have slightly less experience points than his sketches.
He thought for a while and tried again to choose the oil painting that had just been upgraded to the second level of his profession.
"Whether to upgrade the oil painting skills to the third level of professional painter 130000 notes the current option, the skill duration is 551 seconds"
The higher the level, the longer the skill duration The shorter.
This time, more than two hundred seconds were lost.
"Then try to improve the system skills"
Gu Weijing played for a while, and finally wanted to see if this small candle was used on the skills previously given by the system. Effect.
"Improve Menzel's basic painting experience from perfect level to legendary level. Note the current options. The skill can last for 23 seconds."
Well, it's not that it can't be used. .
23 seconds,
If you have quick hands, it should be enough to draw an egg with a pencil.
Gu Weijing resisted the urge to see what the "legendary eggs" would look like, and finally pulled down the list.
At the bottom of this tree-like skill bar, the legendary level entry of Hua Dao Hua is gray and unselectable.
He clicked on Drawing a Knife, and the system immediately popped up a relevant prompt.
“This skill cannot be applied to the improvement of system skills of v9 master level 3 and above.”
After understanding the specific usage of this skill.
Gu Weijing closed the panel.
"Using it in normal practice is too wasteful. At certain critical moments, this skill plays a big role."
Gu Weijing smacked his lips.
"The only pity is that this skill is one-time, and I don't know if similar skill cards can be released in the future."
The next morning,
p>In the living room of Gu's Book Gallery, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron was chatting away at the cashier counter while taking advantage of the holiday to check the accounts.
"Alin, please pay attention to safety on the way to a dinner party with your classmates. Be careful. Don't be deceived when someone says it's aa. Some children like to take advantage of others. Be careful before paying. Look at the bill”
Myanmar is a traditional agricultural country.
The second day of March is the time for the "Farmers' Day", a characteristic local festival in Yangon.
Farmers’ Day, like May Day and Labor Day, is a statutory holiday stipulated by the government.
On Thursday and Friday this week, people do not have to go to school or go to work, and even ordinary small shops are not open. It is a good time to visit relatives, friends and classmates.
"Okay, how many times have I said these words? It's so verbose." Gu Lin traced the new lipstick he just bought in front of the dressing mirror without raising his head.
When Gu Weijing took a towel and washed up from the bathroom, he bumped into his cousin Gu Lin who was about to go out to have dinner with the little sisters at school during the holiday.
I came back late from the orphanage yesterday and spent a lot of time studying how to use new skills.
He actually got up a little late today and didn't even go out to buy breakfast.
But the aunt had more important things to do, so she just glared at him. She didn't care about scolding her nephew, and continued to tell her daughter Gu Lin what to pay attention to on the road.
"Where are you going to have dinner with your classmates?"
My uncle, who was watching the morning news in front of the TV in the living room and taking a bowl of Shan soup noodles into his mouth, suddenly became curious. asked.
“Qingchuan Japanese food.”
Gu Lin raised his eyebrows and made a proud gesture. “The recommendation says that this is the top ten must-check-in places for young women in Yangon to live an exquisite and luxurious life.” .”
The second half of the sentence is the slogan of the merchant on the oge map.
She has been yearning for this Japanese restaurant for a long time.
“Japanese food is not cheap.”
Uncle’s focus is obviously not on young womenAn exquisite and luxurious life.
He frowned slightly, "You spent 150,000 kyats on your classmate's party before, and now you are going to eat Japanese food. At your young age, there is no need to pursue such high consumption. "What kind of family is ours, what kind of family are your classmates?"
"I don't know how difficult it is to make money."
"I know, I know, but I don't care." You want money, the money my grandma gave me during the Chinese New Year." Gu Lin turned his head and ignored his father, carrying his schoolbag and walking out of the gallery door in a hurry.
"You're almost done, what's your attitude towards the child?"
The aunt was a little dissatisfied with the uncle's tone towards her daughter.
The Douyin accounts she follows all say that parents and children should communicate like close friends.
"There is no harm in letting Gu Lin and his classmates get together more and deal with their interpersonal relationships. They are all brothers and sisters. Some of them have tens of thousands of dollars in painting equipment and can use it with peace of mind. Your daughter went to eat with her classmates. Let's have a meal or something."
When Gu Weijing saw that his aunt was obsessed with his expensive kes master art suit, he immediately left the living room and went to the yard.
Enter the small courtyard behind the gallery.
The immediate smell was a tangy sauce of sweet vinegar, spicy millet, sesame and garlic oil, which made Gu Weijing's nose itchy.
"I got up just in time to try some of the noodle soup that your Grandpa Wu made this morning."
Grandpa Gu Tongxiang was sitting in the yard with a small horse in a black crew-neck shirt. little old man playing chess.
When he saw Gu Wei passing by, he just said hello casually and continued to concentrate on studying the chessboard in front of him.
"Cannon five equals one." The old man moved a chess piece.
"Hey, then I'll vault into three and tie two."
The old man in a crew-neck shirt who was playing against Grandpa Gu Weijing across from him slowly pushed the chess piece.
He took off the cigarette pinned behind his ear and took a puff, taking a comfortable puff, and casually raised his chin to Gu Weijing, even as he said hello.
"As a rule, go and eat rice noodles first. After I take care of your grandpa, I will make up for this year's New Year's money for you." He said casually, baring his yellow teeth.
"Uncle Wu, you are busy."
Gu Weijing nodded obediently, "I will pour you tea."
He recognized this old man.
My surname is Wu, who runs a shop selling cultural toys and bracelets. I can also write large characters in a thin gold style with a smooth structure and a strong and elegant style.
He is a permanent director of the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association. He has a little power and is considered a prominent figure in this street.
As we all know, every government and authority in every country in the world has an official circle for artists to rank based on their seniority.
There is an Artists Association in Eastern Xia, and the president of the association is a serious boss with very high-level national administrative treatment. Japan has the Calligraphy and Painting Federation, and the United Kingdom hasThe Royal Society of Fine Arts and Germany's bvdg Federal Gallery and Art Dealers Federation are also famous in the history of art and have a long history.
The remaining European countries also have similar organizations, or they are art advisory groups under the European Union Culture Agency.
Artists are also human beings, and they also have the desire to compare. No one is exempt from this vulgarity.
The permanent director of the official calligraphy and painting association,
this position belongs to Dongxia. He must be a master or a retired cadre of the provincial government.
However, in the small pond in Myanmar, the water is really shallow and no big fish can be found. His grandfather Gu Tongxiang even has the title of special consultant of Chinese painting in it.
Although it is a serious official organization, the title is more pleasant, nothing more. Furthermore, if you encounter something like the Shwedagon Pagoda restoration project, you can use this platform to gain experience in it.
To be honest,
The Shwedagon Pagoda may not have been renovated on this scale in half a century. Normally, the association is basically a small circle for everyone’s own entertainment. .
A little bit of power, but not so big that it makes people jealous, and there is no need to fawn over anyone.
Old man Wu and his grandfather Gu Tongxiang have always had a relationship between gentlemen as light as water.
Old man Wu likes meticulous painting very much and knows how to paint, but his own painting skills are limited to that of a hobbyist.
There is no competition in the business between the two of them. Instead, they have accumulated a bit of a symbiotic relationship in the Eastern Xia literary and art circle over the years.
I will give you a New Year painting during the Chinese New Year, and you will give me a pair of Spring Festival couplets.
The old men get together and occasionally play chess. The more they interact with each other, the closer their friendship becomes.
Old man Wu’s daughter-in-law is from the Shan ethnic group and can mix a local specialty noodle soup.
It does not add chicken breast and duck as side dishes like the soup noodles bought outside. Instead, it is purely made with lard and spices. The soup noodles are specially put aside and mixed in when eating. Together.
Sour and refreshing, with a unique flavor.
When Old Man Wu wanders over, he often brings some with him to give their family a taste.
"Grandpa Wu, you are back from Thailand"
Gu Weijing took a bowl from the side and mixed himself a bowl of noodles from the portable lunch box brought by the old man Wu. , asked while whimpering.
I didn’t see Old Man Wu during the festival this year.
This old man went to Bangkok for the Spring Festival vacation and just came back these two days.
"Look at your son's circle of friends. You have gone to see a transvestite show at such an old age, and you are not afraid that your heart will not be able to bear it."
Gu Tongxiang bowed and glanced at the person opposite. The chess player glanced at him and joked, "I'm not serious."
"It's not interesting. The transvestite show is too naked, like a vulgar animal show." Old Man Wu was also a funny person. He blew out a smoke ring and said calmly. , "It's better to look at Tang Bohu's erotic picturesIt has charm. "
He seemed to have remembered something, and waved to Gu Weijing, who was eating rice noodles, and pointed to a cowhide document bag on the table next to him.
"Weijing, Go and take a look first, that is a gift from Grandpa Wu. "
"This"
Gu Weijing picked up the document bag and found that it was heavy and stuffed with a lot of things.
"Go and take a look. , he brought it over early in the morning and mysteriously said it was for you, and no one else was allowed to touch it. ”
Gu Tongxiang was also a little curious.
Gu Weijing opened the sealing cord of the document bag and pulled out a certificate-style document.
Dear Chinese painting artist Mr. Gu Weijing
