Chapter Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Three: The Paranoid Artist
Before giving the appraisal conclusion, Ye Tian reached out again and turned on the live broadcast microphone and said his appraisal conclusion aloud to everyone on the live broadcast end.
This is, of course, deliberate, and everyone who hears the findings and sees this impressionist painting can be the most powerful witness.
In front of everyone's eyes, even if the Germans want to play any tricks, they will have a little more scruples!
Walker and the others all stopped what they were doing, looked at Ye Tian and the oil painting that Derek was holding in his hand, their eyes were extremely hot.
"Fallen artist? Steven, which of the Impressionists is this the work of?"
Although Derek and others knew about the so-called 'degenerate art', they could not identify the provenance of this impressionist painting, so they asked.
Not only them, but the people in the temporary conference room of the Temple Palace, many experts and scholars in the square outside, media reporters and people watching the excitement, and the vast majority of people in front of the live broadcast were all confused at this time.
What is degenerate art? What is a degenerate artist? Many people don't know about it and have never heard of it!
Ye Tian turned his head to look at Derek, glanced at everyone at the scene again, and then said with a smile:
"Let's talk about this impressionist painting first, and then explain to you what is degenerate art and what is a degenerate artist, which is more intuitive and easy for everyone to understand.
The impressionist painting in front of me is a work by Monet, the leader of Impressionism and a top art master, created at the peak of Monet's artistic career, and can be said to be invaluable.
In 1907, while traveling in the Mediterranean, Monet painted this impressionist painting, one of a series of landscapes and seascapes he created at the time, painting the landscape of Provence.
Before the Second World War, the painting was in the hands of many top collectors, but during the Second World War, this Monet painting suddenly disappeared and has only reappeared today."
Before the words fell, Derek, who was holding this top-notch work of art, and Walker, who was standing next to him, were already cheering.
"Wow! It's actually a painting by Monet, the master of impressionist art, and it's Monet's peak work, so there is no doubt that this painting must be a top work of art!"
"This is the most valuable treasure, and this painting alone is probably worth seven or eight chests of gold, or even more!"
While Walker and the others were cheering, the inside and outside of the Temple Palace, as well as in front of countless live broadcasts, were completely boiling.
"Ah! Monet's paintings at the height of his career, I heard them right, did I? Steven's bastard's luck is so good that he can find any kind of treasure."
"Just Michelangelo's Madame de Bruges, now Monet's Landscape of Provence, I can't even imagine what kind of top antique artworks will appear next!"
Compared with ordinary people, experts and scholars who have studied Western art history and impressionist art were more shocked at this time.
The first time they saw this impressionist painting, they jumped three feet high as if they were electrocuted, jumped up directly from their seats, and looked at the painting in amazement.
Of course, they knew about the impressionist painting, they knew the great value of the painting, and the history behind the painting, which is why they were so shocked.
Before they could react, Ye Tianqing's voice had already come again, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Time is limited, I won't go into the details of Monet's landscape painting here, and when I have time, I will give you a detailed introduction to this pleasing painting"
Hearing this, Walker and Derek nodded in unison, and there was no disagreement.
As for the people in front of the live broadcast, even if they have opinions, they can't reflect it, and Ye Tian doesn't care about their feelings.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
After introducing the origin of this landscape oil painting, let's talk about what is degenerate art, what is a degenerate artist? These are all closely related to Hitle, and there are many stories hidden behind them.
As we all know, Hitle has a very strong artistic complex, he often considers himself an artist, and in his youth, Hitle's ideal was to become a Michelangelo-esque artist.
As an adult, the dream of becoming an artistic genius still came to Hitle's mind, for which he twice took the examination at the Vienna Academy of Arts, but unfortunately his paintings were not appreciated by the examiners.
After failing to enter the Vienna Academy of Arts, in order to earn a living, he spent the next few years copying postcards with simple watercolor paints to earn his living expenses, and those days were very embarrassing.
After moving to Munich in 1913, Hitle's career as an artist took a noticeable leap forward, and in Munich he began to paint more and more, selling well and even supporting his sister Paula.
In 1914, when the First World War began, Hitler did not give up painting on the battlefield, contributing to the front-line newspapers and sketching in the camp, during which he created many works.
I believe that there must be a lot of Hitle's paintings hidden here, and at that time, you will be able to see what Hitle's painting level is, whether he is an artist or not."
Hearing his words, many Xinnacui elements on the live broadcast end suddenly roared excitedly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, like a group of demons dancing!
For these new Nacui, it is self-evident what the artwork created by Hitle himself means!
Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian's voice still kept coming out.
By 1918, when Germany's defeat had rapidly cooled Hitle's artistic enthusiasm, he decided to go into politics, but even so, he continued to paint until he became Chancellor.
However, painting had given way to politics and became a hobby, and his short career as an artist came to an end, but Hitle always felt that he was an artist, and that he boasted a high appreciation and attainment of art.
He had vetoed the punishment of a bankrupt man on the grounds that 'this man is an artist, I am also an artist, and artists do not understand financial transactions', and his artistic complex inevitably influenced Nacui's cultural policy.
In addition to his self-proclaimed artist, Hitle was also a collector, and before World War II, he began to collect art in large quantities, not only at his own expense, but also by Nacuitan elements who were sourcing art all over Europe.
Like many collectors, Hitle exhibited a characteristic paranoia in the art trade, often selecting artworks from auction catalogues and then entrusting them to an intermediary, without regard to the price.
Over time, Hitle's passion for art collecting grew into an obsession, and he considered himself an expert on fine art issues and demanded that his evaluations be taken as standards.
Hitle favored German Romantic painters and Italian Renaissance painters, as well as painters of the German School of the 19th century, and collected many related works of art, such as Madame de Bruges.
This artistic inclination is probably related to his physical condition, as he was hit by poison gas bombs during the First World War, which affected his eyesight and lost his strong sensitivity to color.
In private conversations and public speeches, Hitter Le often criticized modern art since Impressionism, calling it 'deformed scribbling or degenerate art' and dismissing it.
These representatives of modern art, many top art masters, such as Monet, Gauguin, Chagall, Renoir, Picasso and other famous painters, are therefore called 'fallen artists'"
Hearing this, many people on the live broadcast side were suddenly stunned, and they knew what degenerate art was.
Ye Tian's performance is still continuing, and the people on the live broadcast side are also listening to it with relish, and even fascinated.
In fact, Hitle's concept of art follows realism, which is out of political necessity, he advocates the use of ideology and art to promote politics, and strives to use art to embody politics in painting.
Impressionism and other modern art genres, although they were classified as degenerate art by Hitle, but for the works of these degenerate arts, especially the masterpieces, his Nacui elements launched a frenzied plunder.
In the history of Western art, it is a dark history, and among the top works of art that have been plundered are a series of works by famous painters such as Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc.
According to incomplete statistics, the total number of works of art looted by Hitle on the grounds of 'degenerate art' is as high as 600,000, and a large part of these works of art have been lost since the end of World War II.
In the eyes of the world, art is the most obvious label of Hitle, and many people even joke that the main purpose of Hitle starting World War II is to snatch top artworks.
It is a great surprise to be able to discover this long-lost landscape painting by the Impressionist master Monet today, and I believe that we will be able to discover more top-notch artworks in the future.
For example, the works of famous painters such as Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso, etc., in the eyes of Hitle, their paintings are all degenerate art, but in my eyes, these degenerate art are priceless treasures!"
Before the words fell, the outside world was completely boiling.
"More top-notch artworks, could it be that those degenerate art paintings and works of those top art masters that were plundered by Hitle are hidden in this underground palace?
