"Yes, yes, yes, I don't know where Brother Gu found such a big flower tree. It looks like it must be hundreds of years old. I'm pretty lucky."< /p>
Lao Yang nodded in agreement.
When he got the photo, he felt that the big flowering tree in the picture was particularly impressive.
I want to draw flowers.
It depends on luck to encounter such a wonderful scenery while collecting scenery.
Take forest trees as an example. They don’t have to be expensive or ancient, but if they are raw, loose and vigorous, then if you add a little bit of splendor to the painting, the work will naturally be easier for people to feel. Extraordinary.
Similar to the famous Huangshan Welcoming Pine, hundreds of artists eagerly rush to it every year to pick up the scenery.
Wisteria trees are everywhere, but whether you can find such a great old tree for painting depends on chance.
Brother Gu Weijing, it seems to Lao Yang that he obviously belongs to the lucky group.
Cao Xuan raised his face and frowned.
"Old man, what's wrong?" Lao Yang couldn't help but sniff his nose and showed a bright smile.
"Quiet, don't talk. If you want to stand by, study hard, don't pretend to understand and make random comments there."
"I said he was a flower tree. The copying is good and the selection is very strong, which does not mean that he is good at finding flowers and trees."
Mr. Cao glared at the other party.
"Tacky"
When he looked at the paintings, he didn't mind others expressing their opinions.
Friends and literati gathered in the study, enjoying a cup of tea and enjoying famous paintings together, exchanging views.
It has always been the important pleasure of Shilin life.
The fun here is comparable to the alcohol, smoke, and tacky smell of pornographic places like Goulan Listening to Music, and it is worth a lot of aftertaste.
Thousands of miles away, in the real "Tea House" in Suzhou, Cao Xuan had witnessed and participated in a painting-tasting tea party held by his neighbors, Zhang Daqian and Zhang Shanzhe.
After more than seventy years of reflection, the witty words and wise words of famous masters are still lingering in my mind.
Of course Cao Xuan knew that his assistant was not as good as the master, and he would not expect him to say anything astonishing.
It’s not impossible to wave flags and flatter someone from the side.
Those past masters visited painting bureaus and book appreciation bureaus.
The most important part of the fun is not only the mutual learning and improvement among the masters, but also the admiration of the disciples, disciples and children who are watching, saying "the teacher is so awesome" and "the true master is also", accompanied by two , three newspaper reporters were present and wrote the record, which is even more beautiful.
Who doesn’t have a little vanity?
The great musician Fu Cong recalled that when he was young, his impression of Uncle Qian Zhongshu was that he was very witty in life, erudite and liked to tease children. People whose children are happy.
When he was a guest and discussed literature with his father, the translator Fu Lei, he often mentioned theirHe took some children with him and was very admired in the children's circle.
My assistant’s professional abilities are not bad.
When Cao Xuan evaluates ordinary works of art, he usually says nice things like "The old man is great" beside him. It is enough to act as a compliment to enhance the atmosphere.
But when it comes to the profoundness and subtlety of such brushwork, if you are not talented enough, you will not be savvy enough.
Limited by ability.
Even though he was racking his brains to show his admiration, he couldn't understand other people's paintings, couldn't scratch the itch, or get the idea right.
Mr. Cao sounded a little unhappy.
Being a licking dog for a master like him also requires a high degree of academic literacy, okay?
The atmosphere is not good, but it ruins the scenery.
Old Yang put his index finger and thumb together and pulled it against his lips like a zipper, signaling him to be obedient and shut up.
However.
Lao Yang thought about it again, but his smile became even brighter, like a meat bun full of pleats.
He spoke again in a low voice and at a very fast speed.
"Old man, why don't you give me some advice and teach me how to see the beauty of this painting? He is indeed the young man you have always favored. He is so young and his skills are as high as the sky. It also makes me grow up." It’s time to gain experience and open your eyes.”
Mr. Cao is obviously in a good mood now.
Now is not the time to seize the opportunity and quickly learn two skills. When is the time?
Cao Xuan hesitated for a few seconds.
This painting really exceeded his most optimistic estimate, which made him have the urge to be a teacher, and he didn’t mind giving some advice to his assistant on how good it was.
What a pity.
How could Gu Weijing’s child not be with him?
What if he pointed at the painting in front of his face, analyzed the principles in the painting bit by bit, and enjoyed the child’s adoring look face to face? , Only then can Cao Xuan truly express all the joy in his heart.
Cao Xuan glanced at Lao Yang, looking at the longing eyes like an old Chihuahua's chicken legs, but did not wave his hand to tell him to get out.
Forget it.
Just treat it as a replacement.
My assistant really needs to improve the level of art appreciation, otherwise it will be embarrassing to take him around.
"What was the original title of the speech you wrote at the European Art Annual Conference?"
Mr. Cao spoke softly and asked a question.
"It should be the magical power of Eastern art," Lao Yang recalled, "Aren't you thinking about teaching foreigners how to appreciate Chinese paintings in the correct way, so I started This name."
When the collectors of ancient paintings and calligraphy from the Eastern Xia Dynasty acquired a work of art that was so good that it was perfect in every aspect and exceeded their ability to judge.
According to the rules, one is often mentioned at the end of a masterpiece of picture scroll calligraphy.The word "god".
There are also two ways of writing "divine grade" and "supreme divine grade".
It means that the heavenly secrets are far above the sky, the thoughts and gods are united, the creativity is three-dimensional, and the wonderful combination transforms power.
Godhead is the highest evaluation of Eastern calligraphy and painting works.
In addition, there are the "wonderful works" which are second-rate, and the beauty of the brushwork is like a lotus growing step by step, and the artistic conception soars into the sky, straight to the blue clouds, and the "wonderful works" where the brushwork is subtle and the images are vivid. Energy product".
Energy, wonderful, and divine.
These three realms of painting, which are ascending step by step, are the three life goals pursued tirelessly by every art master from the Eastern Xia Dynasty to the present who has tried to leave his name in the public and private sectors.
During the Wu Zetian period, something slightly different happened.
Li Sizhen, a master of art criticism, commented on the painting skills of famous artists all over the world and wrote a book on paintings.
It's a bit like counting the top ten masters in martial arts.
He divided a total of 86 well-known painting masters from ancient times to the present into ten grades.
In addition to the original three levels of magical energy, each level is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
Li Sizhen also unprecedentedly put forward the theory of "excellent grade" that was higher than the sky in addition to the "superior grade" that was already on par with the heavens in attainments.
Throughout the ages.
From the time when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty to the Wuzhou Dynasty, in a total of seven hundred years, only Gu Kaizhi and four other people were designated as "excellent" by him.
When Lao Yang wrote this topic, he felt proud that he was educated
Unexpectedly, he was criticized by Cao Lao. This thing is something that most Eastern Xia people cannot understand. Foreigners can't understand, and speaking at a conference makes it difficult to translate.
Give him a basin of cold water and pour it over his head.
Changed to "How to Appreciate the Beauty of Oriental Art" that is easy to understand.
"You also study art and have been practicing painting since you were a child. It is also painting. Gu Xiaozi's painting, the painting, the technique and the spirit are so high-end than yours. It is completely The difference between clouds and mud."
Mr. Cao looked at his assistant with pity. < /p>
Lao Yang opened his mouth slightly and blinked his eyes blankly.
tf
He was a little stunned by the old gentleman's words.
Lao Yang had such a dull expression not because he couldn't stand Cao Cao's comments.
He is not Tangning. He has a very upright attitude. Gu Weijing's painting is higher than him, so it should be.
Otherwise, why didn’t Mr. Cao take a fancy to him, Lao Yang?
At most, it will be sore for a few times and it will be over.
What really puzzled Lao Yang and even made him unbelievable was the word "Yipin".
This is Yi,Alas, the "Yipins" headed by Shen, Miao and Nengzhong
When the Qing Dynasty's cabinet ministers flattered the emperor, no one dared to praise Qianlong's calligraphy and painting attainments to this level.
This thing is really rare.
Unless he is the leader of the Painting Sect recognized by the world, or he is so arrogant that his single work such as Chunjiang Huayueyue dominates the artistic attainments of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise even if he is as narcissistic as Qianlong, it will still sound Weird.
Even if the minister wants to brag shamelessly, if the praise is too outrageous, and the emperor treats him as your brat and makes sarcastic remarks and scolds him, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Today’s Eastern painting world.
Tang Ning’s net worth has reached the forefront of a handful of people.
But if she dares to declare that her paintings have reached the level of "exquisite", she will definitely be criticized by the critics.
Even if it were Cao Xuan himself, being called this might not cause an uproar.
First, the status is here.
The second is the relatively narcissistic top Western painters such as Dali and Picasso. They have made many narcissistic declarations in their lives, "I have always been the best in the world." Most painters in modern society live a relatively narcissistic life. Publicity, unlike the traditional restraint, people have become accustomed to it.
However, Lao Yang felt that it would not cause a fierce backlash.
It is still difficult for Cao Xuan to convince the public.
"It's really that high"
Old Yang stretched his neck, curiously poking his head into the photos, and spoke stupidly.
Thankfully, Mr. Cao said this privately.
If it were another person or another situation, Lao Yang would 200% immediately be regarded as someone with ulterior motives.
If you talk about these two words to an eighteen-year-old child, others will easily laugh out loud.
"What are you thinking about."
Cao Xuan tapped the table with his fingertips.
"First of all. Yipin does not necessarily have to be higher than divine grade. This issue has been debated for thousands of years. Yipin focuses on elegance, while divine grade focuses on law. Song Huizong Zhao Ji specifically reordered the four-character character. It was thought that the most appropriate words were Shen, Yi, Miao and Neng, but it was later changed back by Deng Chun. In modern times, Mr. Wu Guanzhong believed that Yi in Yipin can be higher than that of Shenpin, or it can be lower than that of Shenpin. Yu Nengpin, because he should be a whole by himself."
"But it is also very scary and scary."
Lao Yang still found it puzzling and couldn't help but speak.
Don’t look down upon Nengpin because it is the lowest level.
Anyone who can talk about these four evaluations will at least start as a top master among the masters.
The master of masters.
In the 1940s, Xu Beihong's "Ba People Drawing Water" was only rated "high quality" by a well-known Eastern Xia critic.
This painting was later auctionedApproximately more than 26.8 million.
"Secondly, I just said that Gu Weijing's picture of wisteria flowers is a bit of a masterpiece, and it does not really meet the standards of this evaluation. In terms of the momentum of the brushwork alone, this boy is Li Nengpin, It's still far away, but this flower tree is really well drawn and has some flavor."
Lao Cao said slowly.
"That's it." Lao Yang nodded.
This sounds a little more acceptable to him.
Of course.
Only slightly acceptable.
The old man’s comment still made his heart agitate.
It really tastes like "just".
That’s all.
Even if the donkey under Zhang Guolao’s butt only has three-thirds of the immortal energy, it is not comparable to the thousands of donkeys working hard. , Similarly, a calligraphy and painting with a bit of "meaning" is already completely different from the works of ordinary people.
Tang Ning used a gun and a stick to suppress Gu Weijing in the oil painting, saying that he was mediocre.
As long as the comments in this study room are spread out and heard by the media, it only takes an instant for Gu Weijing to become famous and famous.
If Gu Weijing had simply submitted this work, which Cao Xuan rated as "excellent," to the Singapore Biennale, the organizing committee would have known about it.
Lao Yang was very suspicious.
Even if the experts on the organizing committee don’t like it, do they really have the courage not to give him an award or something.
“Let’s take a look at this painting. I don’t know if this painting was painted by Gu Weijing based on a certain flower tree. Maybe it is, maybe it’s not, but the beauty of this painting is not here. . When I first looked at it, my eyes focused on the scattered petals around. The techniques of these wisteria petals were eclectic, and some were even made with simple brush strokes or similar to willow branches."
"Brushstrokes. The moist and full part has the aura of wealth and glory, the broken and incomplete part has the air of self-resentment of willows and smoke. The full part has the vicissitudes of life, and the curled part is dull. Highlight."
Cao Xuan chuckled and tapped his fingertips on the scattered flowers in the photo.
It is certainly a rare thing to be able to combine these ingenious emotions of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
If Gu Weijing only stopped at this level of emotional expression, then he would not be so highly praised by the old man.
Because it doesn’t matter if it’s a tree or a person.
It is difficult for a subject to express a variety of emotions in the world.
Show off skills more than express feelings.
So many different perceptions are mixed into one, just like the story of having Meizhou rice and Sichuan rice at the same time.
Not particular.
The biggest problem with his female apprentice’s Hundred Flowers Picture lies here.
Compared with Tang Ning’s works, Gu Weijing’s pictures of wisteria flowers are more emotional.The more sublime and wonderful thing about it is that
"The flower tree in the center of this column threads all the scattered emotions around into a thread. All the messy emotions around are all for the strong tree trunk in the middle. Make preparations."
"Branches grow on trees, and flowers blossom." Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest free anti-theft website
