"I"
"Of course I'm here to defeat her."
Professor Boggs said without raising his head while slurping Tom Yum Goong Vermicelli Soup. It doesn't look like he has no interest in Thai food.
"It may not be easy to defeat her. I think the oil painting magazine's evaluation of Ms. Detective Cat may be biased. Both of them are experts in the field of knife painting, what do you think?"
Jian Arnold followed the words.
We are all artists, so it is inevitable that relevant gossip will come up when chatting at the dinner table.
"It's just a political struggle."
Anya straightened her hair behind her ears.
The master illustrator just gave herself a big gift. She didn’t want to be perfunctory and told the truth, “I’m a little disappointed with the attitude towards oil painting. And I feel sad for what happened to the detective cat. Of course, it’s not you.” Living room, I won’t say that.”
She is both a painter and an art gallery owner, so of course she would not dare to offend the oil painting magazine.
"This kind of thing happens every day in the art circle. It is not uncommon. The only difference is that this time it is the board of directors of Oil Painting Magazine who expressed its stance." The assistant spread his hands.
“It’s just because it’s an oil painting that it’s so disappointing. When I was a student, when other girls were looking forward to becoming a cover model of Harper’s Bazaar or Vogue, my dream was to be on the cover of an oil painting. "
"This is another shameless suppression of our female artists. The same thing has happened countless times in history."
"I didn't expect that even oil painting magazines would do this. There is no bottom line."
Anya looked angry.
The assistant secretly pouted. This is a big hat. He doesn't believe it if Oil Painting Magazine suppresses Detective Cat because he is a woman.
This is not two hundred years ago.
Because of political correctness, I wish that more than half of the winners of major art awards were girls, for fear of being accused of sexism.
The Detective Cat is just an unlucky pawn used by the magazine to play a game with the Elena family.
“She is very strong.”
Professor Boggs interrupted their conversation and raised his head, “She is very strong, the best I have seen in these years. She is a better painter than I was before."
"You said you wanted to defeat her," the assistant reminded.
"I said she is stronger than me before, but not as good as me now."
Professor Boggs pursed his lips and said slowly, "She is like What's that Hulk? I'm Spider-Man."
"What"
Anya didn't understand the name that suddenly popped out of the old professor's mouth.
“In movie plots, a villain who is like an old enemy is always needed to prove the strength of the hero, just like the church and Copernicus, Gérôme and the Impressionists. If the opponent is not strong enough, what can I use to prove that I have Standing for the first time in historyThe painting knife that came here is the highest point."
"The one you are talking about should be the Green Goblin. Hulk and Spider-Man are a team. "
The assistant reminded the old man in a low voice that he had made a mistake with the comic character.
"It doesn't matter who it is, I have been waiting for twenty years to find such an interesting opponent. This is a gift given to me by the goddess of art. No matter who is in the future generations, when they talk about drawing with a knife, they will remember how I defeated the detective cat. "
When he mentioned Detective Cat, his pupils were as bright as two burning fires.
It is very boring to be alone and seek defeat.
When Professor Boggs received a call from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s chief art advisor, asking him to write a critical article, he thought it was just a small thing.
No one was specifically targeted. /p>
All living painters in the field of knife painting, every one of them, are rubbish in the eyes of the old professor.
However, when the old professor actually saw that book. The little prince.
Boggs immediately changed his mind.
He almost instantly realized that this set of illustrations of the little prince was worthy of being included in the history of painting.
So even when faced with the temptation of a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
he still turned down Boggs. The professor is 65 years old. As he gets older and has almost everything in material life, the old professor begins to pursue purer desires.
He does not want to attack a set of illustrations that may go down in history. It is regarded as a gossip for future generations.
I also want to give this opponent the respect he deserves.
The descendants who write the history of art will describe how he defeated Detective Cat. It should be as exciting as the Duke of Wellington defeating Napoleon
Rather than Professor Boggs defeating an artistic clown
I believe that my current skills will never be the same. He is weaker than the detective cat, but having face-to-face contact with Tony and then drawing is his own advantage.
Professor Boggs couldn't help but smile when he thought of the satisfaction. < /p>
“Hey hey hey. ”
The professor still had fans on his lips.
He just laughed in a trance, looking more like a real psychopath than Tony who was being fed by a servant next to him.
p>
If any of the dining guests in the exhibition hall have seen Stephen Chow's kung fu, they will think that this old man with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes does not look like Spider-Man and Peter Parker.
On the contrary, he looks different from Peter Parker. The Fire Cloud Evil God who asked to kill others or be beaten to death is quite similar.
"Detective Cat hasn't submitted the manuscript yet?"
Professor Boggs smiled enough and turned to Jane. Arnold asked.
The master illustrator shook his head, "Not yet. Her agent said that she has more works to draw, so she will be slower. ”
“She painted more than I painted.Few, and it has been painted. Forget it, it’s better to draw slowly. If I submit some works hastily, I will be disappointed. Just with that little prince look, she is qualified to put on airs and make the final appearance. ”
Professor Boggs wiped his mouth and stood up simply.
In any case, in his mind, the detective cat could not compare with him. The higher the artistic attainment of your own works.
"In this case, after everyone has finished eating, come to my room. ”
Professor Boggs’s room is lined up against the wall with twelve picture frames that are drying.
Using the room for painting with Anya’s imagination Compared with his creativity.
The professor’s creative scene looks too ordinary.
The canvas of each work is a 30x40 sketch canvas, facing the wall, waiting to be painted. Turn it over and show it to everyone.
"Amy. "
Professor Boggs said.
"What are you referring to that cat?"
The assistant raised his eyebrows.
< p>"I mean, the name of my group of paintings is called Amy. I don't even understand it."Professor Boggs didn't like his bluntness and responded casually. < /p>
The old man picked up the obedient kitten lying there from the cushion of the armchair. The servant had already fed it during dinner time. The professor held the cat with his left arm and extended his right hand from the top of the cat’s hair to the end. Rubbing the back of the neck
“Of course, this little girl is also called Amy now. ”
“The emotional substitution method is not easy to use. We have tried many methods, but none of them worked as expected. Tony would not regard this white kitten as the cat he had grown up with just because it was also named Amy. ”
The one who spoke was Dr. Jin Anqing.
Since it was necessary to evaluate the effect of Boggs’s works on Tony’s psychological stimulation, the psychiatrist did not leave after dinner.
< p>There were many empty houses in the ranch, so he stayed directly in the illustrator's house.Professor Boggs expressed his disdain and remained silent.
p>"The professor should think about the way out, he is confident in his own painting. "Jane Arnold is very familiar with Boggs's imposing manner standing in front of a row of easels.
This is a feeling of having everything under control.
When illustrators create, they also I have such a feeling, and I think from the bottom of my heart that I am the best fairy tale illustrator in the world.
Jian Arnold does not feel offended at all.
The master illustrator likes the energy of Professor Boggs very much.
It is certainly a good thing to have confidence. How can a painter without confidence draw works that can create miracles?
No matter it is. Picasso’s favorite thing in his life was watching beautiful girls fight for him. Dali’s famous saying “As a painter, there are two luckiest things. First, he is Spanish.”Man, second his name is Dali. These two lucky things happened to me. ”
Many great painters are extremely narcissistic people.
“If knife painting is really useful for autistic people, then my work will be useful. If it is not effective, , that is also the problem of Hua Dao Hua itself, its scope of ability is like this. "
The professor thought for a while, smacked his lips, and added.
"The good drawing is your credit, the poor drawing is a problem of the painting method"
The assistant couldn’t help but speak.
“Of course, I am the best in this field. Now I represent the limit of the art of knife painting. "
Professor Boggs didn't seem to hear the ridicule in the assistant's tone at all, and he felt very confident.
Jian Arnold glared at the assistant with a stern look and signaled The other party shut up.
When he learned that Gu Weijing wanted to choose Amy as his painting subject,
Dr. Jin Anqing said this half-jokingly, half-seriously. The behavior is like when he was on the football team, every boy on the team stubbornly believed that the most beautiful cheerleading girl would like him.
If there is a cheerleading team, the name of the most beautiful girl. It’s called “Muse.”
This example applies to artists.
It doesn’t matter whether your work is worth $50,000, $500,000, or $5 million. US dollars.
After an artist reaches a certain level, many people tend to stubbornly believe that they are the unique and lucky person to be kissed by the muse.
Borg. Professor Si, and Ms. Anya who wanted to make a final attempt
They didn’t have the blessing of cat drawing skills, but no one was willing to avoid "Amy", which was the closest to the correct answer and the most difficult.
Even if Anya knows that her painting skills are not as good as the other two,
Before she really fails, she will still look forward to the beauty of her painting. Unique effect.
“I agreed in advance that if it doesn’t work in the end, let me take this kitten away, she likes me. "
"Do you like you?"
The assistant looked at the little kitten huddled up in the hands of the strange grandpa.
"Yes, little animals Always be close to two kinds of souls, one is born with defects and the other is born with charm. The former allows them to pity their reproductive instincts. Sorry, I didn't mean to target Mr. Tony. "
Professor Boggs's emotional intelligence can be regarded as mildly disabled at best, not too bad. He nodded to Jane Arnold mid-sentence.
"It doesn't matter. "Jian Arnold shrugged.
"What about the latter?"
Listening to this guy's conclusive theory, the assistant asked curiously.
"Later Who wouldn’t like the latter? They are born to be the focus of everyone’s admiration, whether they are people or animals.things. ”
Professor Boggs raised his neck proudly, with an expression on his face that said, “Old man, I’m just so naturally cute and lovable.”
The assistant kept repeating After thinking about his annual salary of 400,000 New Zealand dollars and the wonderful life of making a lot of money in the future when he changes jobs as an art agent, he swallows the question "Which type are you?"
The assistant almost choked to death because of the feeling of having a mouthful stuck in his throat.
“Professor, let’s look at the painting first. "
Even with Jane Arnold's patience, she can't stand Professor Boggs's particularly strong narcissistic temperament now.
"This is the most beautiful thing I have ever painted so far. A good group of paintings, you can take your time and appreciate them. ”
Professor Boggs stood in front of the easel, scanned the people in the room, and turned over the first easel on the far left.
It was a cat-topped one. The child.
The child only shows half of his face, his eyes are turned up, and he is holding the cat on his head with one hand.
The pure oil paint with high saturation creates the top of the picture. Strong contrast between light and dark.
The cat's hair is pure white, the nose is black, the whites of the child's eyes are pure white, and the pupils are dark.
The sunlight in the upper half is white, and the shadow cast by the cat in the lower half is black.
This is not a black and white sketch, but the entire picture is filled with bright colors and contrasting colors. Dark colors are divided into two sides: yin and yang.
Paints that use a large number of black and white colors often have an ancient meaning like old black and white photos.
But Professor Boggs. This painting has no such feeling at all.
People always say that the painting is like the person.
Except the old professor himself, I am afraid that no one in the room felt this. The old man is a bit cute, but his paintings are really cute.
The old-fashioned sense of black and white and the childlike psychedelicism of the oil painting knife are completely and skillfully combined.
The two completely inconsistent styles, just like the paint mixed under the control of Professor Boggs's oil painting knife, do not appear inconsistent or chaotic at all.
It is just beautiful. p>
It's just very Zen.
The picture looks like a Tai Chi yin and yang fish that is cleverly divided into dark and light colors with an oil painting knife.
In this work. When it came into view, the room became quiet again.
“It is a wonderful fairy tale. This kind of technique is beyond my ability to draw. It is really wonderful. First the little prince, and then the painting in front of me. "
Jian Arnold looked at the picture for a moment and said softly, "The moment I saw Professor Boggs's work, I actually had the idea of learning knife painting. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
