Hamburg, imitates the "Chaxuanju" garden.
In the quiet study room.
After Lao Yang handed the printed photo in his hand to Cao Xuan, he did not walk away immediately, but said with a smile, "It's like the Bai Huakui, who celebrates his birthday every year. The young man seems to be quite good at talking." "
He picked up the tea cup on the table and poured water for the old man. His eyes fell on Cao Xuan's face with a vague look.
Lao Yang couldn't help but be curious.
How will his employer react when he sees this "special" work?
The young man seems to be quite good at talking.
Lao Yang only said half of what he said. He had the remaining half left in his mind, and he seemed to be quite good at drawing.
Lao Yang didn’t know how the old man felt about this picture of a purple waterfall rushing down.
Anyway, it scared him.
Just kidding.
Assistants are not like agents, who are partners on the road of art.
There are indeed many assistants and life secretaries in the industry who are only responsible for booking flights and hotels, serving tea and buying coffee, and dealing with customers.
Lao Yang prides himself on being an elegant cultural person
In his career plan, Mr. Cao will earn a lot of money by working as a senior agent in a gallery like Gagosian a hundred years from now of.
The profession of agent.
Agents with connections and resources have the opportunity to develop clients and make money, but among those who can become top brokers, there are a few who do not have the connections and cooperation opportunities with big bosses.
Otherwise, why would gallery owners spend millions of dollars a year on super-high salaries to support them?
The art industry wants to stand out in the high-end field as well.
Whether you are a painter or an agent, what do you rely on?
Since it is called the art industry, after all the glitz and glamor has dissipated, all the machinations and intrigues in the workplace have been dealt with.
In the end, if I really want to put the final word on it, I still have to return to the simple word "art".
You can imitate dog-licking skills, network resources, and industry experience, and you can learn them quickly.
Only the understanding of artistic works and the understanding of the pulse of the painter's industry are fundamental knowledge that cannot be bought with money and time.
Knowledge is the most valuable wealth.
Only those who understand the word art thoroughly can become the most indispensable right-hand man and soul mate of artists.
The relationship between a painter and his agent can be closer and more loyal than that between a couple, and it is not just lip service.
For many ace partners who have worked together in the industry for many years, they may have such a big idea that their wives can trade with others, but they will never change their wives to agents who can give them unique artistic insights. of.
Even appeared.
Some trump cardsJi Ren has only represented one painter in his life, and the artist's agent who he had worked with for many years passed away unexpectedly, and the artist himself announced that he would stop painting.
Painters and their professional partners.
The right people meet each other, which is the beautiful story of Yu Boya meeting Zhong Ziqi, and the mountains and rivers meeting a close friend.
The art agent Ruel who made Monet and Reano famous in the past, Elena Soberia from contemporary Russia, Talvus from Austria, and Ms. Chen from Eastern Xia.
These ace agents, whose current income is calculated in hundreds of millions, all started out as artists and have played the role of "mentors" and "godfathers" in the careers of their painters. important role.
Being so many assistants next to a master of art, you have to learn some real skills no matter what.
Patronizing hard work of flattering and making coffee.
Lao Cao didn’t mind, but Lao Yang himself felt panicked at the loss.
He does not have the blessing to be Mr. Cao’s partner. If he learns a certain skill and vision, he will be the godfather of a second- or third-tier painter in the future, which will be a very promising and profitable career. thing.
Lao Yang once suffered a loss from Gu Weijing's art work, and did not pay much attention to the brilliance of the paints prepared by the other party.
He was so angry that he scolded him vehemently.
Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. Gu Weijing, the inexperienced little idler who started the project, has shallow eye sockets and is easy to satisfy. A set of expensive customized painting tools can repair the problem and repair the relationship.
There are no white men around Mr. Cao.
He will make similar mistakes in the future, and his poor eyesight will offend some famous and powerful artists. Even if Lao Yang is willing to give a convertible sports car, he must be able to appreciate it.
So, when Mr. Cao was having lunch, Mr. Yang was printing the photos sent by Gu Weijing.
Even though I have already determined in my heart that this painting is not much better.
He still spent some time and thought for a few minutes to study the work that Brother Gu gave to Mr. Cao as a gift. He just thought that he would reflect on Mr. Cao's comments later and practice the questions to exercise his eyesight. .
Lao Yang glanced over casually with a casual look in mind.
Looking at it like this,
Oh my god
I almost can’t pull my eyes out.
"Beautiful."
These two words were the first thought that came to Lao Yang's mind.
The brushwork is elegant and well-proportioned. The brushwork is upright but gorgeous, delicate but not demonic, and has a calm demeanor.
It’s so beautiful.
Lao Yang has seen many master-level brushwork skills. It is certainly not true that this brushwork power can make him astonished and breathtaking.
Think about Gu Weijing’s age.
Thinking again about his still immature writing performance at the Shwedagon Pagoda two months ago, Lao Yang still found it a bit strange.
Gu Weijing is in the universityAt the beginning of the Golden Pagoda, the biggest advantage of being able to be taken with Cao Xuan was the authentic and antique color of the paint.
Old Yang thought it was a bit interesting, but not too interesting.
It is true that there is spiritual energy.
To put it bluntly, it’s just that I met the right person at the right time and on the right occasion. Luck accounts for the majority.
Besides, what’s the use of well-mixed paint?
Mural restoration is a niche field, and modern industrial paints have developed very well.
Artists are not Breaking Bad. Normal painters have nothing to do all day long to figure out the ingredients and formulas. Be careful and get yourself poisoned by heavy metals.
Lao Yang doesn’t necessarily have to look down on Gu Wei Jing.
To be able to delve into authentic pigments, his grasp and intuition of color matching must be good. This is probably why Mr. Cao was willing to make that bet.
But there is still a long way to go before we can turn this intuition into solid skills.
It often takes five years or even ten years as a unit. Only true geniuses have the opportunity to shorten this time by one or two.
At this moment, two or three months later, this skill that can bear the comment of "entering the house" clearly appeared in front of Lao Yang.
The pen and ink are dry when they should be dry, and moist when they should be moisturized. They are smart and organized.
Traditional Chinese painting is very important. It is actually very difficult to paint flowers and leaves blown down by the wind.
Because it is necessary to pursue the scattered momentum of the flowers and leaves, but also to have an overall context. It looks scattered but not scattered. The audience cannot feel that the painter is throwing a mop when painting. Take a stick and poke it randomly on the rice paper.
Gu Weijing’s painting technique achieves this very well.
Lao Yang's first impression when he saw the photo was that the flowers and leaves scattered on the paper seemed to have been blown apart by a bomb, swelling and scattering all over the sky.
Calm down a little.
He tasted the deeper flavor again.
All flowers and leaves on rice paper have their own veins.
Flying and rotating, purple flower clusters seem to be floating in the air. Through the trajectory of flying leaves and falling flowers, you can catch the breath of the wind.
When Lao Yang closed his eyes, he could imagine the feeling of airflow carrying moist water vapor and the fragrance of flowers blowing on his cheeks after the spring rain.
The grainy air and even the vague mist are the same bright purple as the flowers and leaves of the wisteria. The flowers and leaves form a huge purple cloud in the center of the cloud. , is a huge tangled and vigorous thousand-year-old flower tree.
The flowers and leaves in the photo were blown by the wind, and Lao Yang's heart also spiraled and floated.
Authentic
It’s so authentic
To sum up how authentic the brushwork of this painting is in one sentence, that’s what Lao Yang felt.No matter what my skills are, I cannot produce such a work with clear and orderly ink colors, clear layers, and rigorous conception.
Don’t think that the village chief is not a cadre, the bean bags are not good food, and you should not look down on Lao Yang who can serve Mr. Cao tea and water.
I was able to get into CAFA in the 1990s, go to the Royal College of Art for postgraduate studies with a public scholarship, and pass the exams of many small town painters from the place where art students are the most diligent in the world. , thus reaching the pinnacle of life.
Whoever picks up a paintbrush and talks about painting skills doesn’t have many brushes.
In his own life story, Lao Yang also regarded everyone as a "Van Gogh" in the eyes of his neighbors.
Just throw it into the list of experts who went to Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon at the beginning of the year.
Not much to say.
In terms of technique, whether it is traditional Chinese painting or oil painting, Lao Yang is not necessarily any weaker than the local household registration painters like Gu Weijing's grandfather Gu Tongxiang who used to make up the numbers.
If we talk about social status and the ability to grasp art trends, hehe, if he easily tied three Gu Tongxiang together and met them on the street, Lao Yang wouldn't even raise his head to look at them.
This evaluation is really not low at all.
Think about Gu Weijing’s age, and think about the dark years when he was out training in the cold wind with a flashlight, gnawing on steamed buns, and practicing his sculpting skills.
Lao Yang felt that God was so unfair.
How could there be such a big gap between them both walking on two legs and a person with a nose?
He was originally very, very unfavorable, but Gu Weijing was criticized by Tang Ning. , a work drawn in a hurry.
The writing means kitsch.
Lao Yang had already covered Gu Weijing’s forehead in advance.
Looking at the painting now, he couldn’t help but want to pick it up and lick it back again.
This method is really powerful.
The key point is that the beauty of this painting definitely goes beyond the good brushwork.
On the other hand, there is a layer of photos between them. It is clear that the wisteria flowers and leaves are falling on the paper leaves, but it seems to have the impact of a rain of flowers from the sky, and I have been staring at the painting for a long time. Okay, Lao Yang had a whim in his heart and his eyes shone.
It was as if there was Lin Zixiang holding a microphone and singing "Facing the waves with pride, with blood as red as the sun, courage as iron and bones as fine steel", which made him want to Try to compete with God to improve your mood.
These two points cannot be summed up simply by the words "high or low" in writing skills.
This is a kind of rendering power that can only be expressed by a very rare and small part of the master-level works in art museums.
Old Yang can feel its shocking power, and he wants to go deeper. Where this feeling comes from and how it is painted is beyond the scope of his ability to comment. .
If he had this level, why would he be an assistant attached to a big tree?
Wouldn’t it be nice to hold an art exhibition by yourself and be treated like an artist by an assistant?
"Amazing."
Old Yang has never thought that Gu Weijing and Tang Ning could compete in the competition of painting skills.
The thought of making people laugh out loud never occurred to me for a moment.
He even felt that even Mr. Cao Xuan himself had never had such an idea.
Lao Cao appreciates him.
Maybe Gu Weijing was really lucky enough to become Cao Xuan's disciple, and the old man could survive another ten years and keep Gu Weijing with him.
Gu Weijing ten years from now may have a chance to compete with Tangning from twenty years ago.
But that must not be now.
Painters do not need to belittle themselves, saying that the ancients must be better than today's people, and depressing words such as advocating the past and disparaging the present.
But for young, Mesozoic painters who are still learning and growing their painting techniques.
Every year as I grow more than ten years old, there will be an obvious change in the maturity of my writing style.
This is by no means a tortoise and hare race, a fairy tale where you can catch up as long as you work hard. You are working hard, and your predecessors are also working hard. Your talent and environmental conditions may be even better.
How can you catch up?
Given the age gap between the two of them, if Gu Weijing wants to be truly qualified to talk to Tang Ning face to face, even if everything goes well, he has to Wait until he is fifty and his hair starts to grow gray.
Lao Yang even felt a little sad because of this.
Whether Gu Weijing can truly become a talented person or not, that will happen many, many years after the old man next to him passes away. Mr. Cao will definitely not be able to wait for that day.
Now.
Gu Weijing's picture of wisteria flowers was put together with the picture of hundreds of flowers that Tang Ning painted back then, and Lao Yang compared them in his memory.
If someone gave him a chance to choose one, he would definitely stop talking nonsense. Lao Yang ran away with the Hundred Flowers Picture in his arms. Hesitation for even a second was based on Tang Ning’s market price of one million US dollars. Disrespectful.
But if we say which painting is better, Lao Yang likes it more.
Old Yang is really a little unsure.
The reason why I stand on the Hundred Flowers Picture is because of my position and interests.
I chose the wisteria flower picture because it is so cute.
Cute.
Oh my god, he actually thought that the work drawn by this kid from Yangon was cuter than the original Hundred Flowers painting he imitated.
That was the most important and famous work in Tang Ning’s life.
Doesn’t this mean that Gu Weijing’s painting level has reached a level that can win a gold medal in an art exhibition like the Shanghai Biennale?
He is even better than he was back then. Tangning is still two years younger.
When Lao Yang discovered this idea in his mind, he felt like he was going crazy. Please remember to bookmark it, the website is the latest and fastestFree reading without anti-theft
