"They trust each other and tame each other."
Gu Weijing thought about Mr. Sloth's words.
This idea was something he had never heard before, that humans and beasts trust each other and tame each other.
This kind of warm, silent and equal way of getting along sounds incredible and goes against common sense in biology.
"Does it sound a little too idealistic? After all, this mode of getting along with each other is not in line with our usual thinking habits."
Anna said casually, "In nature, animals and The relationship between animals is the Darwinian law of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle. The earliest records of humans domesticating pets can be traced back to the Stone Age tens of thousands of years ago. There are examples of princes and nobles domesticating beasts as hunting tools. ” p>
"They are associated with words such as power, nobility, and absolute control."
"Princes and nobles showed their power by showing that they could support the universe. And this One of the elements of the universe is the caged herd."
"This domestication is not the same concept as the domestication I mentioned before. This domestication is based on superiority and power. . The relationship between Amy and Tony is a closer emotional bond, which is what is special between them."
Miss Elena thought about the words, "Pets are human. Friends, there is nothing new in this sentence. But friends are always a mirror, and the relationship between a person and his pets is a reflection of his own character."
"Domination and affection, love and abuse, cruelty and kindness. . Different choices lead to different results.”
“I think the relationship between Amy and Tony may be different from what most people imagine. The long-term relationship makes them closer to human social relationships. "So, if you ask me if there is love between Amy and Tony, my answer is yes, love is." The noblest and most selfless emotional relationship in the animal world. Pets can also love someone."
Anna grabbed August's big paw and gently pulled off the blue fabric on his paw. A piece of wool on the carpet. I recall my aunt’s tone when she was carrying a portable pet box in a pet store, giving her a small, silly native dog to hold, and telling her “you have to learn to love something.”
"Love makes everything special."
Detective Cat repeated this sentence which sounded like a short chicken soup video on Douyin.
“It is this unfathomable love that makes all relationships so special. If you think of Amy as a person full of complex emotions, then it is easy to understand the situation we are facing. Miss Detective Cat, imagine if your good friend Amy dies. You can’t just take someone home on the street and call her Amy and you can seamlessly replace her.
"So what do you think I should do?"Detective Cat asked.
"I think if you approach this task not with the mentality of drawing cartoon pets, but with the mentality of drawing portraits of people, maybe the result will be different. ”
Miss Elena opened her arms silently.
August jumped into her arms.
The girl held the heavy plush The velvety dog turned to look at the portrait of the detective cat in the zoo chat room on the computer screen.
She did not rush, but slowly waited for the other person to think.
"Draw. Painting portraits instead of painting pets, I think I kind of get it. "After a long time, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the headset.
"Well, this is just my personal idea. I hope you can interpret it with different brilliance. "
Anna nodded happily "onn039aasdeuxcurs, 039unour039ho, 039autreour039aniaonaducurouonn039enaas"
Before hanging up the phone.
She used the French poet Lamartine's famous poem "The Lake" The poem in this book ends this dialogue.
It is an important name in the French Romantic art movement, which influenced important painters such as Turner and Lüde, and is now the current Grand Commander of France. The most admired person in media interviews
And this poem is translated as "There is only one heart beating in our chests. Loving animals is loving humans." "Exactly the words on Lamartine's epitaph.
Ms. Detective Cat probably understood.
A smiley face was sent in the text prompt box in the chat room, and then she exited
"What a mysterious person. It seems that finding this detective cat lady is not as simple as I thought. "Anna touched August's ear with one hand and picked up the phone with the other hand.
Several pages of social messages have appeared in the chat box on the phone.
That was the chat between Anna and Gu Tongxiang. The reason why she chose to contact the other party at a time close to the zoo online video conference was that she had some intention of checking up.
She just asked casually at the beginning. A few words.
The old painter named Gu Tongxiang looks very excited.
To this day, he is still telling himself about the art of peonies in Eastern art. Status and painting history.
Anna is a little disappointed.
It is difficult for Detective Cat to send these messages while participating in online chats, and there is no proof of absence at the same time.
Secondly, she discovered from the very beginning of greeting him
This old gentleman probably didn’t understand French at all.
In short,
Gu Tongxiang, a Chinese painting painter from Yangon, is basically not the same person as Ms. Detective Cat.
“Thank you for your story. Your painting method is very rare and special. Please.Keep on your own path. It’s not that oil paintings are bad, it’s just that in the same international painting market, if a painter loses his own national characteristics, it will be more difficult to stand out. Integrating Eastern art and Western style, imitating Castiglione is a good start. Maybe consider participating in some Asian art exhibitions."
Miss Elena flipped through the message records and still patiently gave her own suggestions with the professional vision of the former editor-in-chief of the visual arts section of the Oil Painting Magazine.
p>
It is not the fault of this old man named Gu Tongxiang that he disappoints himself.
The direction of his work is worthy of encouragement.
It is possible to start from a small place like Myanmar. Attracting the attention of a first-tier gallery like Ma Shi Gallery must have involved decades of hard work for this man in his sixties.
“I am willing to pay attention to you for a long time. work. "She replied.
"Thank you, thank you. ”
The other party seemed quite flattered.
The old Yangon painter seemed to be hesitant about whether he should say something or not.
After Anna was about to close the door, When looking at the phone screen, he sent a new message.
“Actually, many aspects of my painting methods come from the guidance of my grandson. ”
“He may make his debut at an art exhibition this year. I don’t know if collectors like you will be willing to pay attention to his works. If you could give him some pointers, I would be very grateful. ”
“So your grandson is also a painter.” He shouldn't be very old this year. What's his name? Anna asked casually.
"His name is gueijg Gu Weijing, and he is eighteen years old this year." ”
Perhaps even this old painter realized that it might be a bit too strange to introduce an eighteen-year-old painter to a big collector.
Except for a few.< /p>
A creator of this age should not be called a painter, it might be more appropriate to call him an art student or a more classical art apprentice.
"Although he is young, I guarantee that this kid is. is a true genius. Take a look at his paintings and you won't regret it. "The old painter immediately added.
Genius.
The girl smiled helplessly.
"Oh, these people. "She sighed.
Teachers recommend apprentices, and fathers recommend sons to well-known collectors. This is a traditional manifestation of social connections in art.
Anna has never seen this kind of thing. Too many.
To be honest,
She understands the feelings of Mr. Gu Tongxiang.
Poor painters in the world. If you have an opportunity to make connections, you can't wait to get involved.
Let alone Gu Tongxiang.
p>Often when facing members of the Elena family, they can’t help but use a flattering tone to persuade them.They appreciate the works of their nephews and nephews that they value.
It’s good to make money, not shabby.
Especially in the era when the oil painting magazine was still controlled by the Elena family.
If you see the right thing, maybe you can avoid a detour of ten or eight years.
But Anna can certainly think of a so-called eighteen-year-old "genius" and the approximate level of his artistic achievements.
A truly outstanding young artist is as rare as a famous Arabian horse that doesn’t even have a single variegated hair.
Most of the geniuses in the world's population are just pure colors painted with paint.
Even Anna herself is just the kind of person with very mediocre talents.
Deep in her heart, she respected and envied all geniuses.
The prerequisite is that he must be a true genius.
"Forget it whether he is a real genius or just a genius in your mind. For a painter of this age, it may be more important to practice basic skills than to cultivate connections or participate in art exhibitions."
< p>Anna has already typed this line into the chat box.In the eyes of outsiders, especially in the minds of painters like Van Doorn. Miss Elena is actually a very difficult person to get along with.
Or to put it more bluntly, Anna has a really vicious tongue underneath her pretty appearance.
Personal cultivation is one thing, and art criticism is another.
A more formal term for an art critic should be called an art critic. Originally, one makes a living by criticizing people, and it is a relatively harsh profession.
For oil painting editors, scolding is much more frequent than praising.
Especially with the identity of Elena’s family, there are more things that need to be paid attention to.
Even if it was purely out of human nature, she said politely and perfunctorily, "This painting is not bad" and "Maybe the talent is not bad."
Those painters who want to be famous and crazy are really good at climbing the ladder. They promote themselves to the outside world as "the talent is highly recognized by the Irina family" and "the next one after the stylist Paul Klee". A rising star valued by the Elena family." Such exaggerated rhetoric.
And if you give the other party some creative suggestions.
Then maybe it was spread by the media and the other party became his disciple, or this painting was a work created "under the guidance of the Irina family".
However, he openly used this name to participate in the art exhibition.
Don’t think that these things won’t happen. There are dirty things in all walks of life. These are the experiences and lessons left by an elder who ran an oil painting magazine in the past.
This kind of thing is like shit on the soles of shoes, it’s really disgusting.
The celebrity effect in the art industry may be even greater than that in the entertainment industry.
Legendary.
At a charity dinner in New York, Larry Gagosian talked to a new painter for five more minutes, but when he looked back, he realizedThe price of a painter's works suddenly increased by five hundred dollars.
This kind of artistic meanness is also the protective color that Irina has established for herself in interpersonal interactions.
The fact that Anna likes the style of Gu Tongxiang's works does not mean that the girl has any free time to look at the paintings of Gu Tongxiang's grandson.
But the words were all typed.
She suddenly thought that now that she had broken with the management of the oil painting magazine, the possibility of being taken advantage of was much lower.
The person opposite the chat box may be a kind old man treating his grandson with kindness.
"After all, he is a small painter in a remote area."
Anna pursed her thin lips.
Human resources are really hard to come by for them, and the artistic trends around the world are almost completely out of reach of those corners that don’t receive much attention.
Isn’t Ms. Detective Cat just such a big sister living in Africa?
Has she ever put her own work behind the pitifully drawn ten-dollar illustrations on the Internet? Sent to some art critics. As a result, the unknown sender on the package was thrown into the trash can without even a glance.
Whether it is in oil painting magazines or in the offices of major galleries, it happens every year. I received hundreds of self-recommended packages of CDs and paintings.
Behind every thing is a heart looking forward to Bole's appreciation.
The cruel fact is that more than half of the CDs have not been played, and more than 70% of the packages have not been opened at all and are simply thrown into the trash.
Read this verse.
Miss Elena’s heart softened a little again.
Anna stared at Gu Tongxiang Yangon, and the chat name of Ma Shi Gallery was remarked for ten seconds before finally deleting the originally entered words.
Changed to "Are you participating in an art exhibition? Well, when his exhibition works are ready, you can send them to me. I am willing to give some creative suggestions."
"I hope I didn't help the wrong person."
Miss Elena grabbed August's big ears and said slowly.
The springer spaniel stared at the hostess's cell phone and just made two blank "woof" sounds in response.
New Zealand and Myanmar are 5 time zones apart.
When I hung up the zoo Internet call, it was already late at night in New Zealand, but it was still dark dusk in Yangon.
Gu Weijing ended the call.
He sat in front of the computer and thought for a few minutes, then sent a message to Uncle Alai, took off the coat hanging on the wall and prepared to go out.
The original plan was that Gu Weijing would complete the entire illustration task at home, just like the little prince's drawings.
Now he has slightly changed his mind and has better inspiration. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
