Chapter 0730: A Little Thing, Times Cover (7/10)
Lin Haven from China, such as Raphael, Shelley, and Mozart in one person, his talent for oil painting, his achievements in poetry, his prolific musical creation, and the fact that he is so young make this assessment particularly appropriate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
ββSuch wording comments first came from Lin Haven himself.
If James, Lin's old friend at NBC, didn't have Alzheimer's, he would have remembered the scene in China β Lin compared himself to the trinity of Raphael, Shelley and Mozart, and wanted James to write about him in NBC's report. In James's career, he has never seen such a "brazen" person, so much so that he himself has a nervous attack, and he really sent this passage as Lin Haven said.
After sending it out, it triggered a bipolar reaction in the United States.
The first pole is criticized, saying that NBC is crazy, saying that Lin Haven has a broken brain, and he dares to compare with these three immortals, and that three people plus one piece is Lin Haven. The most well-known comment of the time came from an editor of The New Yorker, who notably quipped, "This young Chinese artist may indeed have some characteristics of the three masters, such as that he and Shelley both have a nose and ten fingers like Mozart, and that Raphael and he both paint with their right hands."
As for the other pole, it is not those who support this kind of speech, but a group of people in the circle.
"Who is Raphael? What does Leonardo da Vinci have to do with him? Are they father and son? A rich second generation?"
"Shelley, there's a stinky kid next door to me whose name seems to be very annoying, like a noisy parrot. β
"Mozart? is the blind pianist, isn't it? I don't believe it at all, he must have succeeded when his eyes were good, and then he could lie on his grades and retire after he was blind, just like those rich people who have no charitable heart. β
So in fact, there are not many people who take this comment as a serious matter, it is nothing more than to add some discussion in the field of public opinion - at that time, Lin Haven had a shocking scolding war and a "Scolding Bible", and he was also a big celebrity in the English social world.
Now, three years later, the New Yorker, which has naturally included this comment in the conclusion of its surveys and editorials, has even added Picasso without hesitation, representing the artist with a ruthless and eccentric temperament.
Lin Haven, Raphael, Shelley, Mozart, and Picasso from China.
This assessment is almost sublime.
But as the lace faded and everything returned to the art realm, more and more positive comments gradually pushed Lin Haven to this position, and he was already one of the most valuable oil painters in the world - a 4 million dollar oil painter, one of the few in the world. What's more, within his stylistic realm, he gradually became a representative painter, and although pro-classicism is not yet universally recognized, this definition has been widely used in reference to Haven Lin's art criticism.
The artistic status of the symphony in the Yellow River Cantata is much higher than that of Guanyin with a Thousand Hands, which is also one of the cornerstones of Lin Haiwen's achievements in the field of elegant music. High-spirited, high-level, national, widely disseminated, all these elements make it impossible for him and Mozart to be mentioned at the same time.
The same goes for Shelley.
Picasso alone is the new comment that Lin Haven's "big temper" received after it spread abroad - not a good word, but not bad.
......
"I think we can be one of the top 10 most popular art exhibitions in New York this year," said Xiao Chenghua of Seagull International, slightly excited, who had now selectively forgotten that Lin Haven was a psychopath, and no longer worried about him being a moth.
The great success of the exhibition has made Seagull International very satisfied.
Despite being one of Asia's leading exhibition companies, Seagull is not particularly one of the top in the world of art β a positive correlation with the weakness of Asian art in the first place. In recent decades, with the rise of Fuso, Huaguo, etc., the economic center has shifted from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and the seagull has gradually emerged from this wave, but it is still not worth mentioning compared with the old Western companies.
So it's no surprise that Lin Haven's success this time makes them excited - you know, even Adrian in the United States did not have such a success in this year's exhibition. After taking stock of the exhibitions in the first quarter, they found that only Gerhard Richter, the first exhibition in the United States in his 40-year career, would surpass Linhaven's overall score.
As for the sheer popularity, Haven Lin is almost unrivaled in the field of art exhibitions - unfortunately, institutions also need to comprehensively evaluate according to other factors such as artistic standards, artistic status, and professional influence.
However, Lin Haven was able to win the second place in the first quarter, second only to Gerhard, the first oil painting in the world at that time, which is already very, very satisfying and remarkable.
In the past few days, Xiao Chenghua has said it several times, and Lin Haven is annoyed.
"Broken evaluation of the institution, don't you mention it?"
"No, Mr. Lin, the Art Exhibition Index of the New York Art Foundation is an authoritative reference in the United States and even in the world. That's not a broken evaluation of a broken institution!" Xiao Chenghua was excited.
Do you know how much effort they put into trying to get a name on the list? If it weren't for the wonder of Haven Lin, they would even think that it would take at least a decade or more, that is, when China's economy surpassed that of the United States, before it would be possible to drive success in the field of art.
Lin Haven actually said that it was a broken institution, a broken evaluation.
Break! Break your head!
Lin Haven closed his eyes and wiped his left face with his hand, he suddenly recalled a program of the Spring Festival Gala, the bull terrier teacher with a ramen wig, spraying the appearance of rain and dew - do you want to put it on this year's Spring Festival Gala?
What for, what for, what for?
I'm sweeping the ashes, okay, a sledgehammer is over, fortunately I dodged in time, or my face would be broken, you know?
Sour!
"Okay, congratulations!"
Xiao Chenghua relieved his anger for a while, and then remembered the matter: "When are you going back? What time is it tomorrow, I will arrange to take you to the airport." β
"Tomorrow afternoon's four o'clock plane. β
Lin Haiwen's work here has been done, and the interview should have been accepted, and he also accepted several media interviews last night, the content was not about Lao Mei, but the aftermath of Fusang, he scolded Fusang again in the interview, which can be regarded as making them famous internationally. This is also the last job he plans to do in Lao Mei, he wants to stay and take care of the exhibition, but of course he has no problem returning to China, the exhibition is publicized to this extent, it doesn't matter if he is not there - the people who watch the art exhibition are not here to see the creators.
"Huh?" Xiao Chenghua thought for a while, and was suddenly surprised: "Isn't it a China Airlines flight tomorrow morning?"
"Temporarily rebooked, a little bit to do. β
"Hehe, did you forget to buy a gift for your girlfriend?"
"No, Time Magazine temporarily said that it would shoot a cover for me, and it would be delayed for half a day, but there was no way. β
