Chapter 1272 Surrealist Painting Master
The deal went very smoothly.
For the sake of insurance and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Tian deliberately asked the old liar Gent to issue a certification document, and asked Anderson and Joseph to sign the documents.
In the eyes of everyone at the scene, this certificate is not necessary at all, it is completely superfluous! Only Ye Tian understands in his heart whether this certificate is necessary!
This is the last nail nailed to the coffin board, and with this document, if the old liar Gert later repents, even if he sues God, he will not want to get these antique works of art back.
In addition, when the delivery was carried out, Gent also found the original documents of the antique furniture and the oil painting, and handed them to Ye Tian by hand.
As soon as the transaction was completed, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and called Matisse.
The phone was connected in an instant, and Ye Tian immediately spoke:
"Matisse, take a few more guys downstairs and set off, I bought a few antique works of art on Flanders Avenue near the Grand Place in Brussels, which need to be carried by hand.
There are a lot of onlookers and media reporters gathered in front of this antique shop, and you can see it as soon as you enter Flanders Street!
"Understood, Steven, we'll be there in ten minutes."
Mattis's voice came from his phone, and he listened excitedly.
With his understanding of Ye Tian, he instantly understood that Ye Tian must have found a valuable antique artwork and successfully took it down.
After the call ended, Ye Tian instructed the Ghent father and son to make a vacant space near the entrance of the antique store.
Immediately afterward, he took Taylor and Anderson to move the antique furniture to the door of the antique store, and took down the medium-sized oil painting and placed it on the antique desk.
No sooner had they finished moving than Gatlinck and another Belgian antique expert walked up to the door and began to re-examine the items.
The deal is done, it's a set.
At this point, they can finally ask questions to solve the doubts that are holding in their hearts.
The first thing the two antique art appraisal experts looked at was the oil painting, and they looked at it very seriously and attentively, trying to find out the reason why Ye Tianwei was so excited.
It is a Cubist style painting with bright colors and simple lines, and the colors that can be seen on the canvas are brown, green, blue, white, and black.
Several color blocks of different sizes and shapes are staggered and recombined in different areas of the canvas to exist in the shape of abstract organisms, forming a separate picture.
What connects and separates these different color blocks are elegant lines, straight lines, parallel lines, or curves.
At first glance, the whole picture looks a little messy, but if you look closely, the picture composed of these colors and lines is very atmospheric, revealing a sense of tranquility and mystery.
While admiring the painting, two Belgian experts began to ask their own questions.
"Steven, I really don't understand why you bought this painting, what is it about it that makes you so excited? Can you tell us about it? I'd love to know!"
"That's right! The painting technique of this painting is really good, and the structure and layout are also very reasonable, and it can be seen that the painter who created this oil painting has very good painting skills.
However, in these extremely refined colors and the movement of lines, we can see the shadow of Cézanne, as well as the influence of the Fauvist Matisse and Picasso.
It is a pity that it is neither Cézanne, nor Matisse nor Picasso, and in addition, the Cubist style expressed in this painting is not very mature.
To put it mildly, it's a multi-style painting where we can't see the creator's own thing, and that's what matters when it comes to a work of art!
If an oil painting does not have the artist's own perception and innovation, it is equivalent to having no soul, no matter how good his painting skills are, he is just a painter."
Ye Tian looked at the two Belgian experts who were full of doubts, and then said with a smile:
"Mr. Gatlinck, Mr. Jürgen, I have seen what you have said, and I have seen something else, and that may be a surprising discovery.
I have a very bold conjecture, but I can't say for sure yet, and I need to look at the painting carefully to determine if my conjecture is correct, and the answer will be available soon!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian stepped forward and began to admire the oil painting lying flat on the antique desk again, and borrowed a hand-held magnifying glass and a flashlight from the antique shopkeeper Gent.
As he moved, everyone in the antique shop looked at him, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, except for the Ghent father and son.
At this time, they were both nervous and apprehensive, lest this be a top-notch work of art with a lot of value, and it would be a big loss!
Although the results have not yet come out, they have already regretted it a little.
Steven's bastard has an extremely sharp eye, and he has never looked away, but everything that he likes and makes him excited by is basically a valuable treasure.
The reason why this bastard bought these things must be for a reason, and it was not as simple as he said, maybe he had already seen the true value of a few things!
I was really blinded by lard just now, why did I sell these things to that bastard? If not, maybe I could make a lot of money!
Even if these things are not worth a few dollars, you can't lose much, at most 20,000 euros!
Thinking of this, the Gent father and son hated to give themselves two mouths directly, and their intestines were about to repent!
It's a pity that there is no regret in the world!
No matter how much these antique works of art are worth, they have nothing to do with them, they can only stay aside and watch.
Soon, five or six minutes had passed.
At the end of the performance, Ye Tian raised his head and looked at the crowd, with a bright smile on his face.
He didn't immediately announce the conclusion of the appraisal, but the smile on his face said it all.
Everyone knew in no moment that this Cubist oil painting must have a lot of origins, and it was very likely to be a top-notch work of art of great value!
But what exactly is the artist's work, and what is its value?
"Steven, don't whet everyone's appetite, tell me about your appraisal conclusions"
Gatlink said eagerly, looking impatient.
Everyone else was the same, all staring at Ye Tian, waiting for him to say his appraisal conclusion and reveal the answer.
Ye Tian looked around the scene for a week, and then said with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, as I said earlier, when I first appraised this Cubist painting, I saw something else besides what Mr. Gatlinck had seen.
And I have a very bold conjecture, and now what I have seen, and my conjecture, has been confirmed, that is, I have come to a very accurate conclusion.
According to my identification, this oil painting with a slight cubist style created in the twenties and thirties of the last century was created by the famous Spanish painter and representative of surrealism Juan Miró.
Born in Barcelona, Spain, Miró is a late bloomer and one of the most famous masters of the twentieth century, alongside Picasso, Dalí and others,......"
Before the words fell, the antique shop was completely boiling, and everyone hugged their heads and exclaimed.
"Oh my God! This cubist oil painting is the work of Miró, it's incredible!"
"There are only a few of Miró's cubist paintings in the world, right? There is no doubt that this must be a priceless work of art!"
Everyone in the audience knew a little bit about Miró, one of the most famous masters of the 20th century, and many people have seen his work in museums and in the media.
In 1993, ten years after Miró's death, in order to commemorate this outstanding master, the European art world designated that year as the 'Year of Miró', and held unprecedented exhibitions of works and art activities.
Even on the other side of the ocean, the United States has held many exhibitions of Miró's works, which have attracted the attention of countless art lovers and caused a huge sensation.
New York, in particular, is Miró's blessed land and the place where he became famous.
In that modern art powerhouse, Miró has a transcendent status, surpassing even famous masters such as Matisse and Picasso!
"Puff"
In the midst of the exclamation, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their heads to look over.
The voice came from the location of Ghent's father and son, and at this time, Ghent was already sitting on the floor with a mournful expression, which was difficult to see.
"How is that possible? How can it be the work of Juan Miró? Isn't he a master of surrealist painting, why is there a cubist painting?"
Ghent sat on the floor and muttered in despair, almost madness.
As for his son, he was stunned, his eyes instantly turned red, and he looked a little scary!
Seeing them like this, Taylor and Lisa immediately stepped forward, separating them from Ye Tian and the painting of Miro, and staring at them closely, ready to respond at any time!
