What followed was a painting, not like an ancient painting, but more like a modern painting, although the brush and ink were made of traditional Chinese ink and water, and no painted dye was applied, but everyone felt that it was more appropriate to call this painting an oil painting.

In the picture, it is a sturdy and powerful galloping horse, running on the grassland overgrown with weeds and flowers, and several butterflies fluttering by the horse's hooves.

It is in response to the poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao: The spring breeze is proud!

However, this painting does not have any inscriptions and stamps, and it is impossible to find out whose work it is.

The owner of the painting is a local collector.

According to his description, the painting was also acquired by accident. Today, I am taking advantage of this event to find out whose work it is, and on the other hand, to respond to the call of the president of the Antique Association to do something good for society.

"Everyone, you might as well come forward and take a look and discern it. The owner of the painting clasped his fist at everyone.

At this time, someone in the live broadcast room asked, could it be Xu Beihong's painting?

After all, he is good at drawing horses, and he is still modern, and the most famous is Xu Beihong. For many ordinary people, they may only know such a famous horse painter.

In fact, there have been painters who are good at painting horses since ancient times.

For example, Han Gan in the Tang Dynasty, because he attached great importance to sketching, he painted horses more than the ancients, and later generations of famous horse painters such as Li Gonglin and Zhao Mengfu have learned from him.

Han Gan's most famous painting is "Horse Husbandry", which is now in the museum of Taiwan Island Province, with light color paintings, black and white horses, and Hu people riding one and controlling two. On the panel, the inscription of Song Huizong "Han Gan's authentic handiwork Ding Hai imperial pen" eight characters. The characters and horses are very vivid, and the inscription of Huizong's thin gold book is also very strong, and there is a seal of the Southern Tang Dynasty Imperial Mansion, which is undoubtedly the authentic work of Han Gan.

It is said that in order to draw horses, Han Gan often went to the stable, carefully observed the habits of horses, compared and found out the characteristics of horses, found out the laws of horses' movements, and recorded various kinds of horses.

After a long time, the various physique of the horse, the majestic running posture, and the ever-changing dynamics are naturally displayed on the paper when painting. Therefore, people praise Han Gan's horses as horses that can run.

Hu Yang looked at it for a while, and shook his head at the questions of the audience in the live broadcast room: "It's not Xu Beihong's." ”

In fact, this possibility, didn't the owner of other people's paintings think about it? I must have found someone to appraise it, and if it was Xu Beihong's painting, it is estimated that it would not have been taken out to make a contribution.

"You must know that Xu Beihong is one of the most famous painting masters in our country in modern times. Although there are thousands of his works, they are of high value, especially the paintings of horses. Once discovered, millions are a no-brainer. "Let's ask, who wants to take out millions of treasure paintings casually and contribute?

Xu Beihong is good at figures, animals, flowers and birds, advocates realism, especially respects Ren Bonian in the tradition, emphasizes the reform of Chinese painting into Western painting techniques, advocates light and modeling, pays attention to the accurate grasp of the anatomical structure and bones of the object, and emphasizes the ideological connotation of the work, which has a great influence on the Chinese painting circle at that time.

He, Zhang Shuqi and Liu Zigu are known as the "Three Masters of Jinling" in the painting world. The Chinese paintings are made of color and ink, especially the galloping horses are famous all over the world.

The reason why he is so good at painting horses is related to his experience.

In 1939, Mr. Xu Beihong was invited to give lectures and hold an exhibition at the International University of India. At that time, he was invited by the great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore to travel to Darjeeling in the Himalayas.

There he saw many rare horses with high heads, long legs, wide chests, and shining fur, and he often rode such horses to travel far away, and gradually understood the horse's fierce, brave, tame, hard-working, and loyal character, and finally became the horse's confidant.

During the visit, he sketched a lot of horses, and further mastered the most beautiful spirit and posture of horses. Since then, he has more vividly painted the temperament and vitality of the horse, thus shaping a galloping horse in a variety of postures, reaching the realm of "wonderful" and being praised and cherished by the world.

Xu Beihong's horse has its own characteristics, the horses in Chinese painting used to be flat, but Xu Beihong's horse gives people the feeling of being dynamic and running towards them.

The horses he painted, whether they are galloping horses, riding horses, walking horses, drinking horses, and group horses, are endowed with abundant vitality. ”

Hu Yang told everyone that the ancient Chinese painted horses from the side, from the Tang Dynasty Han Gan began to paint horses to the Qing Dynasty court painters painted horses, none of the horses painted by Xu Beihong were so infectious.

Xu Beihong combined the realism of Western painting with the traditional brushwork of Chinese painting. Therefore, there is a combination of Chinese and Western painting methods, which is epoch-making pioneering.

In the area of modern Chinese art, Xu Beihong's works, his horse is an iconic symbol, and it can be said that Xu Beihong's horse is a household name and everyone knows it.

Therefore, if it was Xu Beihong's painting, it would have been determined a long time ago, and it would be everyone's turn to watch?

The painting in front of him, although it is not as good as Xu Beihong's horse, does not look simple, especially the depiction of the horse's demeanor, which is very expressive.

Just when many people were speculating in their hearts, South Korean Kim Sung-gi suddenly remembered who it was, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother, can you see whose painting it is?" Seeing that everyone was not sure, and even the president of their association did not give an answer, Sister Fei was very curious.

Hu Yang spoke: "It's a masterpiece, but it's not our domestic one." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately discussed.

It's not our country? Isn't it? People from other countries can play with this kind of ink painting? Even if you are a Chinese painter, ordinary people can't paint this kind of work, right?

"Hehe! If there are traces of ink, it is not necessarily our China!

Don't you know? In ancient times, our country has always been the coordinate of the wind, whether it is calligraphy, sculpture, painting and other arts, it is also popular in neighboring countries.

They not only admire our art and culture, but also give birth to some famous artists, such as South Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other countries, and also have a certain amount of research on ink painting.

The one in front of me, if I'm not mistaken, should be the work of the famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. ”

Huyang said Katsushika Hokusai, but everyone was confused, and they didn't know it at all, or they hadn't heard of it, okay?

"Who? Are you famous?"

"I don't know, I guess it's a little famous in Japan!"

......

Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, even the proprietress Sister Fei was also confused: "Katsushika Hokusai?"

"Maybe we don't know each other, after all, it's from abroad. Hu Yang smiled.

"Brother Hu, what kind of expression do you have? Do we also know foreign countries? Picasso, Van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, and so on, all know it! This Japanese really doesn't know. Someone in the live broadcast room said depressedly.

Hu Yang said to everyone: "Katsushika Hokusai is still quite famous, ukiyo-e painter of the Edo period, his painting style has a great influence on the later European painting world, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh, Gauguin and many other impressionist painting masters have copied his works. ”

Belch!

For a while, everyone was speechless.

After all, Van Gogh and other world-class painting masters, they have all heard of it, but they have never heard of this Katsushika Hokusai. But Brother Hu told them that Van Gogh was a fan of this Katsushika Hokusai, which is too much, right?

"Don't look like that, this man is the only Japanese person selected as one of the 100 celebrities who influenced the world at the turn of the millennium. It can be seen that the fame is still quite big, but we all look at the Japanese with a different kind of emotion, and selectively ignore this country and its people. ”

If nothing else, there are many Japanese people who have won Nobel Prizes in the field of science, but can we name one? No?

Anyway, everyone's attitude is: the Japanese are not worth paying attention to!

To be honest, the poplar who is a little angry is not much different from everyone.

The reason why I can tell the author of this painting and know something about this painter is that I suddenly noticed it when I was tutoring not long ago.

Objectively speaking, this Katsushika Hokusai's painting achievements are very high, and his strong paranoia about the strange and distorted forms of reality is beyond the understanding of people at the time, and can only resonate with modern art. In this sense, his art is ahead of its time, modern art before modern art.

"You may not know that Katsushika Hokusai himself is a Chinese fan painter who loves Journey to the West and Water Margin. Because I like it, I drew a large number of illustrations for these, and printed them into picture books Journey to the West and a new edition of Water Margin.

In the process, Katsushika Hokusai continued to absorb the strengths of ancient and modern Chinese painting art, and gradually matured in the attainment of Chinese painting techniques. Before creating Kanagawa Surf Lane, Katsushika Hokusai had been studying Chinese painting for 60 years and was deeply influenced by Chinese painting.

Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone sees such a painting. Hu Yang said.

If you know the Japanese well, you will find that many Japanese people are actually China fans. Works such as Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Strange Tales of Liaozhai, which are very popular in China, are also popular in Japan.

Of all the neighboring countries, Japan is probably the one that admires Chinese culture the most.

Hu Yang reminded the proprietress: "Sister, this painting can be won if it is less than 1.5 million." ”

He doesn't plan to sell unless the price is very low and the profit margin is huge. But this painting is not simple for anyone with a discerning eye, although it is impossible to tell the calendar, so the price cannot be too low.

"One and a half million?" the proprietress Yile has already begun to figure out how to get it.

"If it is sold to the Japanese, two million is also possible. Hu Yang added.

The owner of the painting was a little disappointed that no one knew the origin of the painting, maybe he knew, but with the mentality of picking up a bargain, he knew that he would not say it.

At this time, the auction began, and the reserve price was very low, only 50,000 yuan.

"One hundred thousand!" the Koreans immediately cried.

Hu Yang and the others were stunned, this Korean Yankee's Chinese is quite good, better than the clay melon of Liangguang, Mandarin with glass slag flavor, etc.

Someone in the live broadcast room ridiculed: "Brother Hu, this Korean's Mandarin is even more standard than yours!"

"Haha! Liangguang's claypot winter melon, Brother Hu's is relatively good, don't force too much. ”

"I knew that when it came to Mandarin, we would definitely have to take out our two Cantonese as negative teaching materials. ”

"Actually, Liangguang is okay, people don't say it well, but people admit it. The most powerful is the Northeast, which has a kind of honey confidence in his Mandarin. ”

"Please, Hunan and Hubei are even more speechless, okay?"

"Isn't it the funniest in Taiwan Island Province?"

......

Speaking of paintings, you're too off-topic, aren't you?

Sister Fei, the proprietress of the proprietor, trusted Populus euphratica's skills, so she became bold: "150,000!"

"Two hundred thousand!" Kim Sung-ki, a South Korean, was not intimidated.

He knows very well that when bidding, the momentum cannot be weak. Once you are weak, the other party will feel that you do not have enough financial resources, and will bite and hold on, and you will end up very uncomfortable.

Sister Fei also had the same psychology, so as soon as the guy's voice fell, she immediately followed the price: "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

Well?

Everyone looked at it, although this painting looks good, but it can't be traced back to its origin, and its value has been greatly discounted! It is so popular? The price has been increased by 55,000 yuan.

The others couldn't intervene at all, just watched the man and the woman compete back and forth.

In a short time, the price has soared to 800,000, causing an uproar at the scene. In the eyes of many people, that is the value of three or four hundred thousand.

Kim Sung-gi never expected that he would be targeted.

He wondered if the woman was crazy, or if she deliberately couldn't get along with him? It stands to reason that when it reaches 500,000, it should have stopped. But now, I can't even take 800,000 yuan, damn it!

He couldn't help but curse in Korean: Ahsi!

But no matter how angry he is, within a million, he still has to continue to compete.

"Nine hundred thousand!" he stared at Sister Fei with his eyes.

Sister Fei, who has confidence, is not afraid of him!

"A million!"

Kim Sung-gi felt like a teddy in the sun, gritted his teeth, stared at the woman for a long time, and finally turned his head and stopped talking. Everyone knows that this is a confession.

In the end, the work was won by Sister Fei for 1 million.

At the same time, everyone is very curious about this work, after all, the price is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Even the original owner of the painting, the collector, asked, "Excuse me, what is the origin of this painting?"

Now that she has it all in her hands, the proprietress Sister Fei will not hide it and tell everyone: "This painting is the work of the famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, and one million is definitely worth it." ”

When the president of the antique association in their city heard this, he was also stunned, and they did not think about foreign painters! No wonder no one could tell whose work it was.

"I said it!"

"It turned out to be the work of a Japanese, but who is this Katsushika Hokusai?"

"You're an outsider, aren't you?

......

The most depressed is undoubtedly the Korean Kim Sung-ki. If the eyes can kill people, the stinky woman is already crushed.

The president of the antique association had an impression of this young woman, after all, there were very few women in the association. However, in my impression, this woman doesn't seem to have much strength, right?

As a municipal-level antique association, the requirements for membership are very low, as long as you apply, you can basically pass, not to mention that people still have an antique shop.
