Gu Weijing recognized the work on the table.
Flowers are in full bloom.
Originally, it refers to a single volume of Xiang Shengmo’s meticulous collection of exquisite flowers and birds in the late Ming Dynasty. It depicts the blooming scenes of ten kinds of flowers including Chiba peach blossom, pomegranate, white peach blossom, crab apple, lotus root and lotus root. .
Ink and color on paper, light color and no bones.
Later.
When Chinese painters paint ten or even more than ten kinds of flowers in bloom, they can all be collectively called flower ten-flower pictures.
The difference from Ms. Tang Ning’s Hundred Flowers Picture is that the latter has a variety of flowers and plants blooming on one tree and one painting. There are ten flowers in bloom. Each type of flower is in a separate volume, which is a combined picture. The collective name for collections.
It is one of the most orthodox flower paintings.
Gu Weijing is no stranger to it. He has practiced painting this subject, and he has seen his grandfather paint several times since he was a child. However, the sales volume of this complete collection of flowers and birds was not very good.
It would be superfluous to sell them separately.
So Mr. Gu gradually painted less.
It seems that
Gu Tongxiang has become more ambitious recently.
What appears on the rice paper on the table at this time is exactly the picture of peony.
This kind of gorgeous and graceful herbaceous plant without complex focus or line changes is suitable for the Western style heavy color in Castiglione's technique.
How to say it
Gu Weijing looked at it.
It is still the Gu Tongxiang he is familiar with.
Familiar professional-level Chinese painting techniques, familiar professional-level oil painting techniques.
However, the two are integrated and harmonious with each other based on the Western and French heavy colors, and learn from each other's strengths to offset their weaknesses.
The brand-new creative method, coupled with my grandfather’s experience with painting brushes for most of his life, is very good at controlling it.
The final visual effect is more refreshing to the audience than the ordinary second-level mid-level works.
It is estimated that it can be equivalent to a single-style painting at around v55 level.
The best is novelty.
No wonder the old man feels happy.
"It's indeed okay." Gu Weijing nodded.
"You can still feel that it is good and you should praise it from the bottom of your heart. The petals of these peonies are so noble. Look at the color, it is so delicate and beautiful."
The old man said He squinted and tapped the table with the back of his hand.
This grandson is good at everything.
For one thing, it may be because my parents were not around since I was a child, and my personality is too boring.
While chewing the chrysanthemum with his teeth, Gu Tongxiang expressed his opinion, "I tell you, you have character and noble character. When painting peonies, don't even think about it. It's gaudy and gaudy. Let alone this. Flowers should be painted in a flattering and vulgar way to look festive. Peonies are not plum blossoms. This kind of flower should not be painted as skinny and skinny. The fatter and fatter the better, so that the audience will feel auspicious and prosperous. "
"Just like Awang, you keep your belly round, right?"
Awang buried his head on the sofa and licked his tail, too lazy to talk to old man Gu, who thought he was humorous.
"Yeah, yeah . "
Gu Weijing knew that his old man was in the exciting period of improving his skills and was full of desire to be a teacher. He smiled and said a few perfunctory words.
"Grandpa, your painting Let’s talk about it later, I think you should want to take a look at this. Last week, didn’t you ask me to hand you a copy of the contract of Mashi Gallery, saying that it was useful for Grandpa Wu to have it?”
Gu Weijing Hold the scroll in your hand.
“Yes, Grandpa Wu is going to take it to shoot people. He repeatedly wanted to confirm with me that I had not made up the contract, and that counterfeiting an official seal was a criminal offence. It was not until I showed him my artist page on the official website of Mas Gallery that he reluctantly believed it. ”
I thought of my old chess friend opening the official website of Ma Shi Gallery.
Old man Wu looked at Gu Tongxiang’s photos and homepage in the agency artist list, and he was so jealous that he was about to pull away. His expression.
Gu Tongxiang was so proud that he wanted to laugh.
"Hahaha, you should really see Old Wu's dumbfounded look. We don't blame him for being ignorant. How could an ordinary painter of light have seen such a high-level thing? It’s not that Grandpa Wu has a low vision, who makes our grandfather and grandson too arrogant, right?"
He couldn't help bragging a few words, and then Looking at the scroll handed over by his grandson, he felt a little confused.
"I have already taken the copy." Mr. Gu touched his head.
"Except for that." Regarding the contract, Grandpa, you also asked me if I could ask Professor Lin Tao to issue a letter of recommendation during class every week."
"The main thing is to see if it is convenient for me to open this letter to Teacher Lin. . Don't force it. If you really think it's inconvenient, just forget it's troublesome. You can just ask Mr. Sakai Kazunari. ”
Gu Tongxiang nodded vigorously, fearing that his grandson would annoy Lin Tao.
At the Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association, a copy of the contract of Ma Shi Gallery was as good as an imperial edict. , persuasive enough.
The current pressure on the investigation mainly comes from the fact that Gu Weijing has made relatively outstanding contributions in international exchange projects and protected the restoration of cultural relics through the association’s review materials. timely and has been widely recognized by international experts. Therefore, the special qualifications for membership have been met. ”
Does this comment contain water?
Just in case.
Old man Wu also hopes that they can provide more solid evidence. The kind that can explain Gu Weijing's contribution and ability.
It would be more convincing if Professor Lin Tao can be asked to write a personal letter of recommendation and submit it.
The words of Mr. Cao’s second disciple are more effective than Mr. Wu’s words.
“Professor Lin Tao agreed to the letter of recommendation. It will be handwritten and will be sent by airmail in two days, but I think it will be sent by airmail. , maybe thisSomething more useful than a letter of recommendation. ”
“It’s even more pointless to use your paintings. "Bah"
Gu Tongxiang thought that his grandson naively thought that painting an excellent work would be convincing if he submitted it.
Spit the chrysanthemum root on the lid of the cup on the side.
p>
He said angrily, “You still don’t understand these bureaucracies, nonsense is a basic skill. The Yangon Painting and Calligraphy Association is different from the Marsh Gallery. It doesn't care about the quality of your paintings. Even if Leonardo da Vinci submits a painting and someone wants to punish you, they can still say that the painting is rubbish and does not meet the level of membership. "
He casually wanted to get the scroll, but Gu Weijing did not let go.
"Hey, what a big treasure, I don't want to show it to your grandpa. "Gu Tongxiang blew his beard.
"No, I was thinking, grandpa, your blood pressure is not well controlled, so why don't you prepare some antihypertensive medicine first?" Gu Weijing let go of his hand, hesitating. Suggestion.
Lao Cao’s handwriting was no joke.
Gu Weijing never spoke because he was really worried that his grandfather was like Fan Jin. I was so happy that I drew it.
“Yes, this scroll. ”
No need to be reminded by Gu Weijing, Gu Tongxiang himself was stunned for a moment when he took over.
A small calligraphy and painting shop like theirs will definitely not hire people to maintain and maintain the shop like a gallery.
My family cannot afford the labor cost alone, from creating, collecting paintings, contacting painters, maintaining customers, doing laundry and cleaning, from painter to agent. The shop owner did all the work of the sweeper, so she had to be an expert in every aspect.
Gu Tongxiang immediately realized the framing just by touching the scroll in his hand. It's probably not the craftsmanship of their calligraphy and painting shop.
All the works in their shop are mounted using industrial adhesives and hot melt glue, which are put into a special machine and heated and flattened.
The material of framing is also called damask or brocade, but this is actually an unspoken rule used by framing shops to fool customers. In most small framing shops in Yangon, the so-called damask, silk, and brocade actually refer to "Korean" Brocade, a certain imported chemical nylon material, has nothing to do with silk and satin in the traditional sense.
And this scroll.
Gu Tongxiang’s touch from the beginning , you know it is fine silk, and the wooden poles exposed on both sides are not wooden handles with two layers of nails on the core.
The shaft head is sunken and the wood is deep. >It looks like it should be a detachable shaft made of small leaf sandalwood and directly hand-fitted with a traditional mortise and tenon structure.
This is the job. It would be unreasonable for him to come to the shop and not charge 500,000 kyats for the materials.
Besides, even if a customer paid for it, Gu Tongxiang would not have the confidence to pay it. Pretend.
He used to frame things by hand, and he was even good at it when he was a child.When older people paint, women and children have to learn how to frame them, and they also work outside to support their families. He framed three of them and his mother bought him a popsicle to eat.
But now Gu Tongxiang has long stopped mounting by hand.
Since ancient times in Eastern Xia, there has been a saying of three-part painting and seven-part mounting.
Although hand-mounted is more effective, it is a technical job that tests your eyesight and technique. Sometimes the painting needs to be cut at an angle, pulled crookedly, or the composition has been changed and the blank space left. The customer is not satisfied. Shouting for compensation.
If you are not careful, the result may not be as good as the paper framed by machine.
Their family and Mr. Wu jointly bought a set of mounting machines.
I use it a lot here, so I paid 70% of the money and put it in my shop. If my neighbors need to frame something with big characters, they come over and use it.
Both families prepare their own materials and supplies.
"This craft"
Silk base, dark solid wood shaft, silk head and yellow silk on the front to keep water out, the belly and back paper need to be covered with two layers of handmade paper
If Gu Tongxiang guessed correctly, this is not an ordinary one-color outfit or two-color outfit, but a very particular technique of Xuanhe outfit. Because it was pioneered by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, it is also called Song fashion.
"It's very particular."
Gu Tongxiang secretly praised it.
He didn’t want to show his light circles in front of his grandson, so he still managed to keep his composure.
"Oh, in your mind, your grandfather and I have such a shallow determination. I came from the last century, okay. I have never seen such big storms. Do you think you can learn from the calligraphy and painting auction? It's cool to buy a piece that Master Sakai likes. It's pretty cool, and it's worth bragging about. But once or twice, it's just luck, and your good taste is hereditary. I'm in a hurry to make a living, and your dad also has to go to college. Otherwise, I would have used small yellow croakers to exchange for the paintings and calligraphy that I picked up. Now I heard that there are some expensive ones that can be sold for as little as 100,000 US dollars." p>
More useful than Lin Tao’s letter of recommendation
Gu Tongxiang felt that he should have guessed pretty well.
His heartbeat accelerated and blood rushed to his face. He still untied the tie on the scroll steadily and warned himself in his heart.
Don’t panic.
Hold on, hold on, haven’t you ever eaten pork and haven’t seen a pig running? I’ve never handled paintings and calligraphy by famous artists. I’ve always seen them with my own eyes in art galleries. Don’t fall down in front of juniors. share.
"This is not my work."
"Hey, I know. It's such a blessing. I have to thank the teacher more. You know how sweet your mouth is. Isn't it"
< p>"It's not Professor Lin's work either." Gu Weijing added in a low voice."Cough, uh huh"
Gu Tongxiang's arm trembled, like a movie shot played at 05x speed.
The old man’s movement of unfolding the painting slowly stopped, and even the unfinished words in his mouth were stuck in his throat, turning into ughCalled twice.
He slowly lowered his head to look at the scroll in his hand, and then slowly turned his neck to look at his grandson.
Gu Weijing met his grandfather's eyes and nodded gently but firmly twice.
Mr. Gu took a sharp breath.
Okay, your grandfather admits that he has never seen the world.
Gu Tongxiang rewrapped the scroll and stuffed it back into Gu Weijing's arms. He turned around and looked at his study. He stared at the half cup of chrysanthemum tea on the desk and felt uneasy. He closed the lid and placed it on the windowsill. .
Think about it and close the screen window again, lock the window tightly, and finally draw all the curtains.
It’s not that Gu Tongxiang is cautious.
What if a sparrow happens to rush in outside and poop? What if an alien takes advantage of wealth and drives a UFO to snatch his big treasure?
Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.
Gu Tongxiang even wanted to drive Awang away, but after seeing Awang baring his teeth at him, he did not dare to reach out and grab him.
"You hold the painting here and don't move. I'll go downstairs and take antihypertensive medicine and come back."
Gu Tongxiang turned around and went out.
When I came back, I had a small bottle of quick-acting Jiuxin Pills in my hand, which I placed beside me.
"Open it."
The old man was looking forward to it happily. He did not do it himself, but rubbed his hands excitedly and ordered Gu Weijing.
Gu Weijing slowly unfolded the scroll.
"The luminous pearls do not have to come from the river of Mengjin. They are like jade that can be grasped. They do not need to be collected from the mountains of Kunlun. They want thousands of rocks to be beautiful and thousands of valleys to flow, but they must stand out. Good, good, good "Okay, okay, okay, okay"
Gu Tongxiang's eyes almost shot out two real rays of light. He sat back on the chair, his upper and lower lips murmured and trembled, and he couldn't stop saying "good".
Especially when I saw the name on the balance of the scroll and the seal with the word Cao Xuan.
The old man’s eyes were red.
He is about the same age as Lin Tao, a few years older, so he is basically the same generation.
Who of his generation has not grown up listening to the legend of Cao Xuan? Meeting Mr. Cao is like meeting an idol star.
When he was painting when he was young, he also imagined joining a master and rising to prominence step by step.
Who has never dreamed of being recognized and praised by Mr. Cao?
In the field of art, being recognized by Cao Xuan is no different from the legendary story of an immortal touching my head, tying my hair, and receiving immortality. However, this grant is not immortality, but a bright and boundless future. avenue.
This scene in the dream really happened.
The protagonist is his grandson.
