Chapter 522: Jinghua Sanren - He Shangshan
Yu Yao's heart was a little messy when they said it.
Could it be that there is more than one Jinghua Sanren?
Or is there a deliberate use of both handwriting on the manuscript and on this album?
Compared with the manuscript, the pen on this album feels much more restrained, decent, and there are no too obvious features.
At the same time, the handwriting of "Xu Taiyan" does not match these two, that is, no matter what, "Jinghua Sanren" should not be Xu Taiyan.
Yu Yao was pondering, so when Chen Liangdian looked at him, he didn't respond for a while.
"Mr. Xiaoyu, can you tell me?" Chen Liangdian had no choice but to remind.
"Huh?" Yu Yao looked at Chen Liangdian, "Mr. Chen, I'd better take another look!"
"Okay! ”
Yu Yao got started, first turning to the last page to carefully examine the handwriting, then looking at the ink paintings of the 12 zodiac signs again, and finally, gently trying the feel of the pages and ink.
He still couldn't tell if the paper and ink were too old.
But Van Gogh imitation, even if the old paper and ink are used, will often be old, because even if the old paper and old ink are right, the long-term oxidation feeling is not the same. For example, the "high-tech means" commonly used today are the use of special "light" irradiation.
Even if there are no "high-tech means", there are various methods of aging, such as smoke, soaking in special potions, etc., and there are also some auxiliary methods, such as putting old sesame seeds into rotten grains to create "insect eyes".
No matter what method is used, for first-class masters, there will be more or less clues.
This is the album, but Yu Yao can't tell. It's natural to be old.
There is another key here, if it is a forgery in the Republic of China period, it would have been a hundred years; if the level of oldness at that time was extremely high, coupled with a hundred years of precipitation, the difficulty of identification can be imagined.
At this moment, Yu Yao suddenly had a feeling!
At the same time, there is a hint of excitement!
The same feeling reappeared.
He once had the feeling that "all three imitation paintings were made by one person"!
The three imitation paintings, Qian Weicheng's "Liujiang Heavy Mountain" in the Qing Dynasty, Dong Yuan's "Qinglan Waterfall Picture" in the early Song Dynasty, and Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady" in the Tang Dynasty, Yu Yao have all seen it.
At that time, he also had a feeling, and then decided that the three imitation paintings were all made by one person.
This person is naturally He Shangshan.
Nowadays, a closer look at the "zodiac" also has a sense of "homologous".
This zodiac album should be from He Shangshan's hand!
However, the other three paintings are all color works, and the "Zodiac" is an ink work, and the other three paintings have a clear imitation object, and the ink paintings on this album are "created" on the basis of the mixed Tang Yin style.
Therefore, the first time Yu Yao watched it, he didn't feel it.
It wasn't until I got started that I gradually realized it.
Eventually, the feeling becomes clearer, and that's the time to judge.
That's why Yu Yao is excited. Because if you look at it this way, Jinghua Sanren should be He Shangshan!
If it is He Shangshan, the handwriting on the manuscript is inconsistent with the handwriting on the inscription on this album, which makes sense. The handwriting on that manuscript should be the handwriting of He Shangshanben, and there are many words, so it is not easy to change deliberately.
But the inscription on this album, He Shangshan deliberately changed the handwriting, just because it was a forgery!
At the same time, judging from the inscription "Very interesting" and the inscription "Jinghua Sanren", He Shangshan forged this album, not necessarily to make a move, but probably to make it out of his own interest, to have fun and entertain himself.
As for how it ended up flowing out, it's hard to judge. However, it is expected that He Shangshan left Huaxia for the United States during the war, perhaps in a hurry, and even the manuscript "Anecdotes of Wenbo" was lost. It may also be left to He Yidi, who was lost in the process of tossing and turning.
It's hard to judge, and it's hard to trace. But no matter what, if the Jinghua Sanren is He Shangshan, then there is a great possibility that the Ghost Eye Gate is hidden in the southwest region of China!
Thinking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but smile slightly. He Shangshan is really a generation of strange people, not only is his imitation skills amazing, but even his ideas are so amazing.
"Mr. Xiao Yu seems to have made any new discoveries?" Old Cai looked at Yu Yao's expression and asked angrily.
Yu Yao put down the album, looked up, and shook his head slightly.
His so-called judgment is actually unclear, because it is not specific evidence, but the feeling generated by the synthesis of pen power, brushwork, and pen meaning.
This is something that the best players can only understand and cannot say. To put it bluntly, I think it is, but you don't think it's because you don't have enough eyesight!
How can such a thing be clearly explained?
Chen Liangdian saw Yu Yao shaking his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Cai Lao again.
Cai Lao straightened up, "Mr. Chen, it's not an old man, I don't have to look for someone else to read this album! Unless I find Tang Shen's hand-me-down paintings, or reliable historical materials that describe the characteristics of his paintings, it's useless to look at anyone!"
After a pause, Cai Lao said again, "Since I was invited, I can't take the money in vain, and one more suggestion is to directly mark the works of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, after Tang Shen, add a parenthesis and add the word 'doubt' to it." It's hard to keep the old old without fidelity!"
Chen Liangdian and Zang Guanxun glanced at each other, and there seemed to be affirmation in their eyes.
This album, for Yu Yao at the moment, is of little significance if he can't get his hands on it. As long as you can judge what is good, this is the biggest gain.
At the same time, Yu Yao still has a little expectation for the auction, He Zhangyan's forgeries that were popular in the past can still not be understood in front of a large number of experts and collectors, and it is also a very interesting thing to think about.
Moreover, if you want to stay, Chen Liangdian is sure that he wants to be auctioned, and it is unlikely that he will "cut off the beard", so he can only shoot it at that time.
Thinking of this, Yu Yao turned his mind and opened his mouth again, "Mr. Chen, Director Zang, I still want to recommend someone to take a look." ”
"Oh?" Chen Liangdian was slightly stunned.
Cai Lao snorted lightly. He just said that he didn't need to find anyone to watch it, but Yu Yao proposed it again, is this deliberately going to sing the right show?
In fact, Yu Yaozhen didn't have this idea, but just thought of Shangguan Yu. After all, in the world now, Shangguan Yu is the closest person to He Shangshan, so it's best to ask him if you want to keep this album. Even if you can only stay through the auction, it's good to see it in advance.
"There is a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal in Yanjing, named Shangguan Yu, who has unique insight into all kinds of imitations and forgeries. Yu Yao paused slightly, and added in order to facilitate it, "You don't have to pay an appraisal fee, because first, he is my friend, and secondly, he has seen all kinds of 'difficult works', and he will be of great interest." ”
