"What are you doing outside?"
Cao Xuan adjusted the frame and saw the commotion at the door from the classroom window, and asked his assistant casually.
"We'll talk in a while, I have something else to do."
He waved to the assistant Lao Yang who was about to pack up the teaching aids, and turned to look at Dai Hou The chestnut-haired female student in glasses smiled and asked, "I remember your name is Kleisel, an international student from France."
"Yeah, Sasha Kreisel."
"I have the impression that the name is quite nice, and the grades are also good."
Female student Sasha did not expect that a great artist like Cao Xuan could actually remember her name. Lian Hou Under the lens, my eyes, which are usually shy and not good at communicating with others, are a little brighter.
"I am a single-parent family, living in the countryside of Provence. I have taken my mother's surname since I was a child. Kreisel is the surname, surname, and surname of my grandfather's family."
Female student A little nervous, she introduced herself in a panic.
Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that a big shot like Mr. Cao had no time to listen to her talk about such messy trivial matters. She felt that she had messed up this rare private communication, and became even more flustered.
The art girl, who was already a little shy, lowered her head, looked at her toes, and was so nervous that she stumbled over her words.
"Relax, little girl, I think I am quite amiable in class. Do I look scary?"
Mr. Cao Xuan is used to such scenes. He smiled helplessly.
"No, no, no, it's just that I, I, I admire you very much."
"Then raise your head and speak. As the only one in the class today who can remember Qi Baishi's paintings If you are a student of the relationship between the four-character inscription on "Chickens Fighting for Earthworms" and the worldview of the theory of evil in nature contained in the Eastern philosopher Xunzi, you deserve this private conversation. ”
< p>After the art practitioners in the world become famous.As long as you think about it, you can almost easily get a job as a professor in an art or music school.
This is similar to the fact that after some economists win the Nobel Prize, many of them can be appointed as visiting professors or honorary professors in seven or eight universities or ba around the world.
These titles are almost all false.
I won’t really devote myself to doing research or teaching. Some of the few lectures every year are even held online, and it only takes a few minutes to read the manuscript.
A few more golden signs on the school's admissions page can attract high-quality students, and scholars can get a few more honorary titles and a few more salaries for free sex.
Everyone gets what they need, the best of both worlds.
Uncle Sakai is a professor at Tama Academy of Art, but at his level, the school almost never assigns him any teaching tasks, and rarely selects students from Tama Academy to teach.
It’s just a matter of spending money to respect the big Buddha in the town courtyard.
Only naming names like the Shwedagon Pagoda at the beginning of the yearOnly after sending an invitation to a project that seemed interesting to Uncle Sakai himself would he be willing to condescend to move his 200-pound fat body and lead a group on a trip in the name of the school.
In the entire Japanese literary and artistic circle.
The celebrity who has the best reputation, is said to have the highest artistic ethics and the most serious work is the godfather of Asian rock king Shinji Tanimura.
One of the most talked-about deeds of Mr. Tanimura is that after he received the title of honorary professor of Dongxia Magic City Music College in 2000, he really started to take the initiative very seriously. He went to the magic city to prepare lessons and teach students.
It is known as a model of "both virtue and art".
Mr. Cao is also a person with both virtue and art.
He has the temperament of an old-school Eastern traditional scholar-official. People of his generation attach great importance to the title "teacher" and the meaning it represents.
Once a teacher, always a father.
This is a sacred and inviolable relationship for both teachers and students.
The late nineties.
His second disciple, Lin Tao, was riding on the rapid economic development of Dongxia and was busy making money. He agreed to become a professor at Central Academy of Fine Arts, and he only wanted to have a title. Professor Lin and Teacher Lin outside , it just sounds nice.
Just mess around with the course.
When Mr. Cao found out about this, he called Lin Tao over and gave him a scolding. He was also in his thirties, and he was almost scolded to tears by Mr. Cao.
A great painter who has gained a reputation in Asia was forced to be disciplined by Mr. Cao like a child, and stood facing the wall all night.
The next day.
Professor Lin Tao flew back to the capital and began to prepare to take charge of a studio next semester and teach students full-time.
You know, at that time Gagosian's agent had already begun to have contact with Lin Tao.
For this teaching position at CAFA, he disrupted all his career plans.
As a result, he gave up the opportunity to go on a European tour to make money, and perhaps also gave up the opportunity to become the first Eastern Xia painter to represent a landmark in the history of Gagosian Gallery.
He may have missed 100 million.
Judging from Gagosian's world-leading publicity and marketing capabilities, it is estimated that there is a genuine product worth 100 million. It is hard to say whether the unit is RMB or US dollars.
Professor Lin also regretted it, but Mr. Cao did not allow it.
He did not force Lin Tao to sign the contract, but since he agreed to be a teacher, he must take care of the students in a down-to-earth manner. This is a matter of principle.
The Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts invited Mr. Cao to be the dean of the department just because he wanted to soak up the celestial spirit of this top figure in Asia.
Who dares to arrange teaching indicators for such an old man who is almost a hundred years old?
You are crazy.
This is really a problem caused by students being angry in class. Who will bear the responsibility and who dares to bear it
A big boss like Mr. Cao can’t wait to have a security team whenever he goes out.Subsequently, if one lecture can be held for a thousand people every semester, the school feels it is worth the money.
Faced with the invitation, Mr. Cao thought and hesitated for nearly a year.
When he really agreed and came to Germany, the school realized that all their efforts and waiting were worth it.
It’s more than worth it, it’s like finding a treasure.
Mr. Cao Xuan really wanted to be a teacher. During the year of thinking, Mr. Cao spent his time compiling a whole year's lecture notes on Asian art.
Think about how to tell Eastern art to the world.
Once this course was taught, the old man taught it for five or six years.
Students also like this approachable old gentleman very much. The quality of art students who can be admitted to the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts is not too bad.
Everyone likes that there is a world-renowned oriental painter in their school.
Cao Xuan is like a walking mascot in the school.
Princeton University is proud to have had Einstein, and the Royal College of Art is proud to have Jonathan Ive, chief designer of Apple Group, the world's largest market value, as its honorary dean.
And hfbk also has the head of their painting department, artist Cao Xuan.
The school and the students have formed a wonderful tacit understanding. When they meet Professor Cao Xuan on campus, the students will spontaneously keep quiet, and no one will run over and disturb Mr. Cao’s daily life.
Students even took the initiative to intercept tourists or reporters who wanted to sneak into the campus to visit this great artist.
It is definitely not that the children here do not value Mr. Cao.
Based on Cao Xuan’s social status.
Thirty years ago, there was no longer any need to see the idol singer’s impulsive fans shouting enthusiastically and the 24-hour flashing spotlight to prove his success.
Cao Xuan is the unique Cao Xuan.
This ordinary way of getting along with each other and the students' willingness to take the initiative to leave enough privacy and thinking space for the elderly are the highest courtesy and protection for Professor Cao Xuan by these art students.
It’s just that Cao Xuan is not really an ordinary person after all.
After class.
There will always be countless students holding homework books and portfolios beside the podium, asking him questions for various reasons.
Students know that the old professor in front of them has achieved almost all the achievements a painter could dream of.
They hope to get the opportunity to get along directly with Mr. Cao.
You can even get an autograph from Mr. Cao Xuan as a souvenir.
This may be the closest opportunity for an art student to get close to art history. It is estimated that the physics students at Princeton treated their Einstein in this way.
Mr. Cao is also a very interesting old man.
He stopped every time he saw Mr. Cao being approached by a group of students.Lao Yang, who was so nervous that he almost had a heart attack in the middle of the distance, wanted to communicate with the school many times and suggested putting security guards in the classroom or setting up a police cordon.
Surrounded by the cordon can only be the Buddha who is far away from the mortal world.
Only teachers who are warm, close to students' lives, and "popular" can influence the lives and lives of students and teach lessons into the hearts of children.
He, Cao Xuan, wants to be a giant Buddha, and he can be a Buddha anywhere in the world. He is so immortal and unattainable.
Why go to a university art academy to be a professional?
Cao Xuan solved this problem with a random method.
He made three arrangements with all the students who applied for the "Asian Art History" course.
Before the start of a semester.
The old man will publish a long list and dozens of the most representative art works in the history of Eastern Xia, from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the present, as course expansion materials for these European students.
Every week during class, Mr. Cao will randomly select some questions from these lists to ask.
Maybe it is to list the names of the ten most important painters in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, maybe it is to talk about the origins and artistic styles of Vietnamese silk painting and Eastern Xia silk painting, or maybe it is to ask Yan Zhenqing How can he become the only calligrapher in the history of Eastern Xia whose reputation is comparable to that of Wang Xi
Among the answers submitted, the person with the best answer can have a private chat with Mr. Cao after class. sentence, and comes with an autograph.
These questions are not difficult.
There is no special mystery. If you are not interested in oriental art and have spent a lot of energy to expand the information after class, the answer will definitely not be that easy.
Today’s course officially enters the trend of Asian modern and contemporary painting. Cao Xuan's class question only had one name "Qi Baishi", and asked the students to randomly select a work of Qi Baishi for artistic appreciation.
The female student wearing glasses gave the best answer.
I even mentioned the word mention that Old Man Baishi made next to two chickens fighting for earthworms to eat. He used the allusion of "fight today, protect each other tomorrow". He was not only drawing chickens, but It also draws the path of virtue cultivation for all living things.
Mr. Cao Xuan admired it very much.
"You want a signature, right? Where can I sign it?" Mr. Cao asked.
The female student nodded fiercely, struggled to pull out a huge photo frame from her schoolbag, carefully held it to the old man, and asked expectantly, "Is that okay?"
"It turns out You came prepared." Mr. Cao smiled.
His autographs really sell for money.
When Mr. Cao and the students made a three-chapter agreement, they agreed.
The only requirement for this game is.
He will not sign any calligraphy and painting works, or posters with political or commercial propaganda purposes. If he signs a book, it can only be a school textbook.
Students also jumped at the chance to get autographs from great artists.
He shows his unique abilities within the boundaries. During his teaching, he signed his name on all kinds of strange things.
He signed leave requests, basketballs and footballs, and wrote blessings on love letters to students.
When Mr. Cao signed his name for the second time on the bare belly of a male student in the sculpture department.
A new agreement had to be added. If it were to be signed on the body, it could only be the arm.
As he was taking off the computer from the projector and putting it away in his bag, the assistant Lao Yang took a look at the postcard greeting card in the large photo frame.
He curled his lips and said, "This kind of thing is not good. Who knows what you will go back and fill in on this blank postcard. Change it to a textbook. Come on, don't waste time. Mr. Cao has a very busy schedule. I'm busy, so just forget it."
"Oh, oh, hug, I understand." The female student immediately lowered her head again, her neck turning red from embarrassment. .
"Okay, don't scare the little girl, it's none of your business in class. I'll sign autographs for my students, and I'll judge for myself who you are."
Cao Lao Qing glared at Lao Yang who interrupted, took the initiative to take the big photo frame, opened it from behind, took out the postcard, and said, "Who is this meant to be sent to, my boyfriend in France"
"My mother's. She is also a fan of yours, and her birthday is next week, so" the student girl explained.
To Mrs. Kresser, you have a daughter who is excellent and studies seriously. I wish you a happy birthday and may all your wishes come true.
The old man nodded and already took out his pen and started writing quickly.
The student girl turned her head, glanced at the awkward and unlikable assistant uncle, and then looked at the old professor next to her, with little stars of admiration floating in her eyes.
Mr. Cao was more approachable than she imagined. It was so, so hard that the girl couldn’t think of any good adjectives for a moment. She just thought how could there be such a nice and lovely old man?
She thinks Mr. Cao is too cool and stylish.
Even the gesture of signing with the pen is so handsome, and even the nails holding the pen are so handsome
"Hey, professor, your fingertips are so beautifully trimmed. They are painted brightly." "Is it oily?" She couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Go one block west of the school. There is a nail salon next to Neuea with good craftsmanship and very cheap prices. You can try it."
Mr. Cao took back the pen. Said casually.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that such an old man can do manicures, skin care, and even occasionally customize different wigs.
Except that he is over ninety years old, he is no different from many modern and sophisticated boys in the city.
After Lao Yang became Mr. Cao’s assistant, he discovered Mr. Cao Xuan’s very “contrastingly cute” habit.My jaw dropped in surprise.
“I didn’t expect the old man to be so trendy.”
“It’s trendy. I had my nails done with the senior class of a foreign company in Shanghai before liberation. Why, I can’t do it now that I’m old. I don’t think I’m that old.”
Mr. Cao expressed his disdain for the assistant’s fuss.
Cao Xuan hates it very much, and has the prejudiced impression that Asian artists are stereotyped, boring, slovenly, and unattractive old men.
Asian painters can also be very handsome and charming.
So in a sense, I heard that the kid from Yangon got Kazunari Sakai's beautiful daughter. Compared with his performance in the Shwedagon Pagoda project, Mr. Cao took a higher look. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
