Chapter 1013: The Master Bows Down
Jones Jr. certainly represents Gaspé in the diplomatic arena, but the people he knows are undoubtedly certainly in this field, and so are journalists. Richard is a veteran social arts reporter for The Washington Post, much more senior than NBC's Grace, and his acquaintance with the Jones father and son lasted nearly three decades.
In other words, before Gaspe Jones was introduced to St. Maarten, Richard was already in charge of the news line with Jones, and in the past thirty years, Richard himself has become an expert in the field of Gaspe Jones research.
He is fully aware of Gaspé's place in the art world, which he may not have seen much on social media or even in traditional media, but he has never been absent from the auction floor, and almost whenever a work is offered for sale, it must be in the top 10 of the national auction record that year, in many cases the highest, and more or less the same in the world. Gaspé himself is not a prolific artist, if the Getty Art Center, Prado Art Museum and other institutions were "grabbing" Lin Haven's works before, but in the past two decades, they have only snatched Gaspé's works with a higher intensity.
In the field of pure art theory, Gaspey's status is even more lofty - he himself is the standard-bearer of neo-Dadaism, representing painters, and unlike other painters of this genre, he also enlightened the birth of Popism, often many times his works will be put into the category of Pop, and Pop no matter how controversial it is, whether Lin Haven likes it or not, but in fact, the influence of this art school is huge, in the big basket of abstraction, it is one of the best.
In a sense, it is not entirely impossible to say that he is the father of Pop Art.
So such a person, now his son says, he is studying the art created by Lin Haven, from a superficial level, the source classicism is very great, enough for the world's top artists to refer to, but if you think about it from a deeper level - a top artist who has been chasing abstraction all his life, in the twilight of his life, chooses to re-study a new genre in the field of classical school, isn't this a denial of his artistic life in the past few decades? At the same time, isn't this also a denial of abstraction, of pop?
Now that the controversy is in full swing, Gaspé's action is once made public.
Lin Haven is going to lie down and win?
"Mr. Jones knows, I mean maybe he just has itchy hands and wants to try this new technique?" asked Richard with difficulty.
But when little Jones made up his mind, he was more free-spirited, and he was still in the mood to watch Richard's joke: "Yes? But I don't think it's like it." ”
"Huh?"
"Anyway, I haven't seen him pick up a paintbrush so carefully for almost a decade, if not longer. Little Jones got a hint of comfort and happiness from Richard's shocked look: "While we were talking, he said a very interesting theory, Bernard Paris, do you know right?"
"The one who makes the installation of light and space?"
"Yes, my father said that if Lin had been born before Paris, he would have thought that Paris would definitely be a pro-classical painter rather than a three-dimensional, three-dimensional installation artist. He felt that these painters after Ingres may have been unable to achieve breakthroughs like Lin Haven because of their lack of ability, talent, and diligence, and they were justifiably lazy, claiming to have shifted from the outside to the inside, from the canvas of oil painting to three-dimensional installations—they were all failures and mediocre people. ”
Obviously, Gaspé spoke to his son more sharply, directly, and without scruples than he did in the Metropolis.
Jones Jr. shrugged his shoulders: "I suspect that even if I don't say it, when he tries Lin Haven's technique, whether he succeeds or fails, he will say it himself." ”
"God. ”
"Maybe Lin Haven was sent by God. ”
"Then his old man was sent to the wrong place, and there are not many people in Huaguo who believe in him. Richard pouted: "And under God's seat, if there is a waiter like Lin Haven, then we must have misunderstood his old man's temperament." ”
Of course, Lin Haven was not sent by God, he was sent by the Valley of the Wicked.
"Anyway, it's your job to do the rest. ”
“...... Yes. Richard felt a lot heavier on his shoulders all at once.
However, his movements are very fast, although he is half a research expert and believer of Gaspe Jones, but his main job is still a senior reporter for the Washington Post, and it is certainly impossible to delay such a blockbuster exclusive material.
You know, that ugly woman in NBC is in the limelight this time, and I don't know which one of the Mets is comfortable.
The Washington Post published an article the next day.
“...... In addition, the newspaper contacted the son of Mr. Gaspé Jones, the famous painter Mr. Roman Jones, who told us a shocking news...... Yes, that's what Mr. Gaspey said, and the depth of his identification with Source Classicism and Lin Haven is beyond everyone's expectations, and we are still uncertain whether Mr. Gaspey has indeed completely rejected it, he has been chasing art for more than half a century, and has fallen at the feet of Lin Haven, but it is enough to be sure that the impact of Source Classicism on the mainstream of contemporary art may also be far beyond our imagination......"
As Jones Jr., Richard and others thought.
Even though Lin Haven himself mentioned some of Gaspé's attitudes at New York University, he himself came out and said that confirming with Jones Jr., coupled with the blessing of authoritative media such as the Washington Post, the effect is completely different.
In a case, the accusation of the plaintiff must be the testimony of witnesses and even the defendant's admission of guilt before it can become a fact, right?
This time, the speed of traditional art media is even faster than that of social media.
"Gaspe Jones concedes defeat on behalf of abstraction?"
Gaspe Jones, the world's leading oil painting artist, is learning from Source Classicism. ”
"Master blessed! Lin Haven and Source Classicism are showing their power. ”
And the rapid follow-up of these traditional media, like a base station one by one, centered on them, quickly spread on social media, and the comments of each media are forwarded, walking in spreading the news to the corners.
A netizen of Kopgaspe Jones also got a lot of retweets and likes.
"In order to prevent some people from making low-level mistakes and showing their ugliness, I must first give you a science popularization, Gaspe Jones...... yes, now you get it, right?"
- "Understood? No, I don't understand, Haven Lin is at war with his genre, and then, as the leader of the genre, he goes to follow Haven Lin?"
- "You can't understand the artist's brain circuitry. ”
- "No, it should be said that this is the real artist, for him, in this world, there is nothing more important than following a higher artistic value." The appearance of Lin Haven has given him hope to continue on his paused artistic path, and I can fully understand Gaspé's feelings. In the face of this kind of pursuit, what kind of genre dispute, what mainstream end, does it have anything to do with him? He didn't take this salary. ”
- "To be honest, I've been paying attention to this matter before, and many people, I should say the vast majority of people, are in Quarin Haven, and they are exaggerating very much. But I never really felt it, but now, when I see Gaspee Jones's attitude, I know, I realize, what a breakthrough Linhaven's painting really means, what a breakthrough. ”
- "It's still the same word, I've said it countless times: unbelievable. ”
Netizens have nothing to spray on an 86-year-old top artist, and they have always been in awe of Gaspé.
But the industry will have less of this awe.
"Are you sure he's not stupid? Or maybe there are too many hurricanes this year, and the wind is so strong on St. Maarten that it blows him out?" Cady complained to Jeff Koons, "and you, I don't understand, why are you saying those things to reporters that praise him." ”
"I'm just telling the truth. ”
"The United States is a garbage country, and that's the truth, will you go out and say it?"
“...... If needed. ”
“......”
"Cardy, you're too nervous, I know you don't like Lin Haven, he doesn't have a good temper, but in our industry, there aren't many people with a good temper, right?" Jeff Koons was quite peaceful: "And it's very important that Lin Haven has made many breakthroughs, but there is one thing he hasn't broken through, and he can't break through." ”
"What?"
"Threshold!" Jeff doesn't shy away from saying that they are a bunch of unskilled people: "The reason why contemporary art flourishes is that it magnifies the spiritual and narrows the material requirements. The cover dyeing technique at the level of "Black Dragon Pond", without twenty years of study, it is impossible to get started, let alone achieve Lin Haven's step-"
Cardy quickly interrupted him: "But Lin Haven is only 26 years old, and he only started learning when he was 18 years old. ”
“...... He is an exception. Jeff was choked and shook his head: "Lin Haven has only one in a few hundred years, and it won't be so easy to have a second one." Such a high threshold technique, and now it is the 21st century, how many young people do you think will be willing to devote themselves to learning? The times are different, hundreds of years ago, looking for a small village, while learning, while planting potatoes, an era of having children, has passed, no matter how powerful Lin Haven is, he can't fight against this era. ”
Cady was convinced.
Because he himself was tired of basic skills, he turned to abstract painting, and later found that there was a lot of garbage in his head, so he became famous.
"You're right. ”
Jeff Koons smiled and was about to say something when he saw his assistant run in.
"What's wrong?"
A spokesman for Gerhard Richter confirmed to the media that Mr. Richter was also learning Linhaven's technique. ”
