Chapter 1137: The Ten Apostles (1)
Not only Dong Wenchang and Geng Qi, who have been poisoned by Lin Haiwen, but also more people who are either in high positions, or have deep qualifications, or have other ideas, all find themselves having to refresh their cognition of Lin Haven again. Sometimes they also think it's too hateful, if Lin Haven is a painter of Chinese paintings, even if he is a painter of saints, it doesn't matter. But he paints oil paintings. The difference between the two is that the influence of Chinese painting is basically limited to the country, and it is okay to respect you, and fight for a good reputation of respecting culture, but if you are not willing to respect you, it is no problem, power is red fruit, and in the palm of its hand, Sun Monkey can't jump out of Wuzhi Mountain.
But oil painting is completely different, look at people like Ba Danwang, no one is writing calligraphy, painting Chinese painting, embroidery, singing Peking Opera...... All of them are Western art such as oil painting, installation art, and foreign language writing. Their influence is also parasitic on these Western art forms, thus challenging taboos in other fields.
Of course, Lin Haven and Ba Danwang are not all the way, but his route to gaining influence is not much different - only the influence is much greater and more authoritative. This has also prompted him to climb in the domestic power sequence, and now he has reached an extremely high point, probably not only a people's artist, but a world art leader with extensive international and domestic influenceβbut when it comes to the world and the world, as long as he does not really challenge the bottom line of the lifeblood of the system, it is quite free and freewheeling.
What's more, he's quite supernatural.
It's not easy to mess with.

The judging process for the finals was quite open, with a total of 17 judges, including the three co-chairs, almost all of whom were experts in their fields, such as oil painters such as Tunnet, Gottlieb, Lin Haven, and Chang Shuo, art educators such as Dean Dolan and Dean Henry, and Professor Putini of Florence. Professional critics, such as editor-in-chief of Art Review and director of the BBC Art Channel. Owners of leading galleries such as Gagosian owners, market experts at auction houses, top curators, museum researchers, top private collectors, and so on.
The names of this group of people are published to represent "justice and authority".
What is justice and what is authority, all aspects of art agree that it is authority and justice.
So when Wang Peng won the championship, Tang Cheng came second, and Penelope ranked third, it didn't cause too many doubts - of course, it was not without doubts, and the main thing was not about the level of the winners, but about the genre. Although Lin Haven dominated the oil painting exhibition, the academic school won the top three in one fell swoop, and modernism almost did not receive anything, which also challenged everyone's existing perception too much.
"There is no doubt that IYOPE has made it unabashedly clear to the art world and the public that this is a reality, not the home of modernism. Lin Haven's three disciples are in the top three, and the other seven are also in the rankings, which confirms that this young master is not only a genius painter, but also a genius teacher - we seem to see a great family of art rising, it has a peculiar name: Valley of the Wicked!"
Die-hard adherents of modernism, figures such as Jeff Koons, did not sit idly by, and the attack on the Youth Show never stopped after the results came out.
"Elite game for small circles. β
"The last of the ghosts. β
"A niche performance that touches me. β
"The Return of the Soul: A Classical Farce of Revenge. β
But this kind of artistic struggle is itself bringing classicism back into the mainstream β modernism is no longer dominant. For more than a hundred years, Kandinsky, Matisse, Pollock, Picasso...... Waiting for a large number of modernist masters to shake the iron buckets, Lin Haven led the new army of classical painting, standing in the palm of the goddess of nature.
James of the American NBC art critic commented on the show: Lin Haven is facing the most stubborn resistance alone, and fortunately, the most powerful figures in the modernist camp are determined not to stop him, and there is no enemy in the rest, he will win and win the future.

Huaguo, Beijing, Shun Tak Gallery is a fairly new gallery, and today is its third year.
In the competitive art market, Sindh can only be said to survive, but today they are suddenly busy, with phone calls, emails and door-to-door visits almost exhausting the few employees and the boss himself.
"What the hell is going on?" The boss is a TiMi graduate, who changed careers to open a gallery, because there was something at home a few days ago, and he was a little out of touch with the news.
The employee didn't answer him, but looked at several paintings hanging on the walls of the gallery.
There is one by Lou Jun, one by Rui Mingyue, and one by He Sihan, especially the middle one, which is Wang Peng's - the gold medal winner of the Xinke International Youth Oil Painting Exhibition and the chief disciple of Yuan Classicism.
"What's wrong?" the boss asked in confusion, but when he didn't get an answer, his eyes widened: "Ah, the Paris exhibition, the results? Who won the award? Oh no, even if you win the award, it won't be so crazy." β
"Wang Peng Gold Award, Tang Cheng second, oh, we don't have Tang Cheng, Lou Jun and Lu Danze both won the Silver Award, and there are bronze awards and excellent work awards left. Anyway, it's very popular, you haven't seen it, the news has been saying recently that Lin Haiwen's genre is about to become a mainstream genre, Wang Peng is the founding disciple, a great master candidate, and everyone else has unlimited prospects. β
The boss was confused: "...... Originally, I could have gotten Tang Cheng's work, really. β
"Don't be greedy. β
To be honest, this Tianmei senior is lucky enough, after Lin Haven established an art company, basically the works under the villain Valley are in the hands of Yu Hong and Xie Jun, and the gallery outside is a little bit. He was able to get four at a time, and it was really fortunate that he made an appointment early and paid the money quickly, otherwise it would not be his turn if it was a little later.
And this boss has a good determination, when Wang Peng got the Yellow Emperor Cup, after the price soared to one million, he couldn't help but not sell it, as the treasure of the town hall - now the weight is heavier.
This work of Wang Peng, which is a little earlier, should still be in the first layer of source classicism, and some people have already asked for 5 million yuan.
People such as Lou Jun, He Sihan and others have also soared into the million mark.
Money seems to be worthless all of a sudden.
"Boss, you can be regarded as a person with tens of millions of assets," the employee suddenly complimented: "Thanks to your long-term vision, the employee's salary of 4,000 yuan per month is really not in line with your identity, do you think you want to mention it?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm a little too excited, I'll talk about that later. β
"Cut. β
