Chapter 90: The Ranks of Masters

At the urging of Yu Chi, Bai Ye continued to watch the review article.

"Who has brought a new idea to the domestic oil painting art? Anyone who has read the title knows who I am talking about. That's right, it's white leaves...... The sculptor who didn't do his job properly and changed careers halfway. ”

Seeing this line of text, Bai Ye raised his head again and affirmed: "He's scolding me, right?"

“…… No, it's a compliment, a compliment. ”

Yu Chi pouted and said, "Pay attention, he said that you are a sculptor, not a craftsman, this is a compliment." ”

"Well, I believe it. ”

Bai Ye shrugged his shoulders, his fingertips slid slightly, and the article on the mobile phone screen turned a page.

In an instant, several sketches came into view.

"Huh. ”

Bai Ye was stunned: "Did he still shoot this painting?"

"It's nature. ”

Yu Chi nodded and said: "You must know that even a master of Chinese painting like Xu Lingbi is amazed by these sketches, and he will definitely not miss them." Then again, when did you draw these pictures? Also, how did these pictures fall into the hands of the great monk of the Iron Buddha Temple?"

"Don't talk about it......"

Bai Ye waved his hand, looking back on the past, he sighed: "I am young and naïve." ”

"What do you mean?"

Yu Chi was very interested.

"Do you remember the old man we met in the mountain gate?"

Bai Ye asked, and after seeing Yu Chi nodding, he said helplessly: "Later, at the top of the mountain, I met him again, and I wanted to give him a few hundred yuan, but he refused." ”

Then I had an idea to draw some pictures for him. Originally, I planned to let you go back to him and buy the painting, which can be regarded as a disguised help. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that as soon as the old man sat down, he showed his flaws. ”

Bai Ye scratched his head and said: "He crossed his legs and closed his hands, before I could get suspicious, he took off his hat himself, and he was actually an old monk......"

"Master Fusheng?" Yu Chi was surprised.

"Is that him? ”

Bai Ye didn't care, shook his head and said, "Anyway, I found out after I asked, it turned out that he was scavenging all over the mountains and practicing." ”

"A monk, it's a monk. ”

Yu Chi expressed his admiration: "How many of the current monks can still abide by this ancient Qing rule and precept? Master Fusheng not only insists on but also practices it, worthy of the name of a high monk." ”

Bai Ye didn't refute this, because he was also in the old monk at that time, and he felt a peaceful atmosphere. It was at that time that he thought of the great painter Dürer's famous sketch, The Prayer Hand.

Then he immediately drew a few sketches of the old monk's hand in the style of a praying hand. After finishing the drawing, he handed the picture to the old monk, and then left without saying anything.

Because at that time, he had already realized that the old monk did not need his mercy.

He was wrong, embarrassed!

However, he didn't expect that the old monk would take a few of his paintings to the top of the mountain and hand them over to several masters of Chinese painting for appreciation. So when he heard about it, he was quite surprised.

In addition, he thinks it is normal for sketches to be highly praised by masters of Chinese painting. After all, in another time and space, the painting of the praying hand is also widely circulated.

It's just that many people in the original time and space knew about this painting and didn't know why. Some people even talk nonsense about what touching stories are behind the works of Hands of Prayer.

The content of the story is nothing more than that Dürer's family was poor and had many brothers and sisters. His elder brother also wanted to become an artist, but in order to provide for Dürer's advancement, his brother gave up the opportunity and went to work as a part-time miner to move bricks to earn money to fund Dürer's education.

When Dürer succeeds in his studies, he plans to help his brother realize his dream in turn. But because of the long hours of work, his brother's joints in his hands were stiff and he could no longer hold a paintbrush.

One day, the elder brother knelt on the ground and folded his rough hands and prayed: "Lord, my hands are no longer able to realize my dream of becoming an artist, may you give my brother Albrecht more of my talent and ability." ”

When Dürer saw this scene, he emotionally took out his paintbrush and sketched his brother's hands with tears in his eyes......

Since then, the famous painting of the hand of prayer has been born and has been enjoyed for centuries.

However, this story is pure nonsense!

In fact, the owner of these hands was Dürer himself.

In the history of Western painting, Dürer was a well-known narcissist who painted many portraits of himself.

His masterpiece is the Prayer Hand, a sketch of the triptych created for the Heller altarpiece in the Dominican church in Frankfurt at the beginning of the 16th century. These hands are the hands of the green-clothed disciple in the lower right corner of the triptych, and the blueprint for these hands is the painter Dürer himself.

In fact, Dürer himself was very fond of this painting, so these hands appeared on his paintings many times.

It was widely spread, and many people saw the belief in religion in their hands, so some legends were circulated. Over time, some people take the legend seriously and ignore the facts.

I just don't know what Gao Bo's evaluation of this painting is.

Bai Ye was a little curious and continued to watch the article.

"Everyone knows that Shiraba used to be an abstract painter, and there are some rumors, so there are often people who question whether he can paint or not. Even if the previous cow deformation process painting group sold well in the market, it still couldn't dispel some people's suspicions. ”

"But today, those who question can shut up. ”

"It turns out that Bai Ye not only knows how to draw, but also has an extraordinary ability to sketch. As we all know, sketching is the foundation of all plastic arts, even if it is a traditional Chinese painting, you must start learning from sketching. ”

"If you are good at sketching, you are not necessarily a good painter. But if you can't sketch, you won't be able to become a great painter. ”

"The criterion of a great painter is whether he has a unique painting language. As far as painting itself as a plastic art is concerned, the expression language of oil painting with individual characteristics is particularly important, and as far as plastic artists are concerned, if they can create a painting language with a unique personality and form their own unique appearance, it is the most significant sign that an artist can be called a master. ”

"I dare say that judging by the artistic value of these sketches alone, they can be included in the list of masterpieces. ”

Wow......

Bai Ye exclaimed: "I dare to say that when other people see this, I'm afraid they don't suspect that I sold my kidney to buy Gao Bo, but directly think that I am selling my body." ”

“......”

Yu Chi rolled his eyes, and said with jealousy: "It's not good for people to praise you, why are you so yin and yang, as if you are not happy that others praise you......"

"I'm afraid of heights. ”

Bai Ye sighed: "In addition, I am afraid of trouble." ”

Yu Chi stopped talking, because he also knew that this article was coming out. Bai Ye is not only troublesome, I am afraid that he will become the target of public criticism, I don't know how many people regard him as a thorn in their side.

Envy is the original sin.

Bai Ye sighed and sped up his reading.

"This is not a boast, I have no grudge against Bai Ye, and I don't plan to kill him. ”

"I'm just stating the facts, after all, I can know from the painting that under Bai Ye's brush, every detail of the hands will be delicately and delicately depicted, and various modeling elements such as anatomy, structure, and texture will be fully expressed. ”

"The work is rigorous and meticulous, the lines are accurate, clear, smooth and powerful, and the form is perfect and rich. The light and shadow in the sketch also have a perfection that borders on demand. As if a shiny form is placed against a dark background, all the elements stand out. The texture of the skin, the phalanges and joints, and all the components are comprehensive, but they are not messy. The picture exudes a cold, meticulous taste, which is the way of depicting absolute rationalism. ”

"The problem is that his sketches are rational, but when it comes to oil paintings, the style has changed, revealing romantic poetry!"
