How many artists, when they give lectures, participate in symposiums, or give interviews, they keep their mouths open for tradition and closed for inheritance. In fact, if these people are really allowed to go back to ancient times, or create in so-called ancient methods, they are not happy.

There is one thing to say, some so-called things that adhere to the traditional craftsmanship of ancient methods, everyone just listen to it, don't believe it.

Because those so-called ancient methods are basically improved, following tradition or something, it is nothing more than a gimmick.

It's not as good as the past, it's a joke.

Let's put it this way, if a modern art student has studied systematically for three or four years and travels back more than 100 years ago, although it cannot be compared with the famous masters at that time, it will definitely be able to easily beat more than ninety percent of painters.

Without him, the accumulation of technology.

To talk about art out of touch with the times is purely to play hooliganism.

A hundred years of accumulation, not only aesthetics, but also techniques, have made great changes.

In particular, the development of science and technology has also affected the course of the art industry. Some of the art of expression is completely different from what it used to be.

I won't mention much about deconstructionism, installation art, etc. Painting pigments alone are certainly more colorful than in ancient times.

For example, hundreds of years ago, there was a kind of blue pigment in Western oil paintings, which was very rare and rare, and the price was more expensive than gold.

Therefore, today's people, admiring oil paintings hundreds of years ago, as long as they pay a little attention, will find that the blue color in oil paintings is basically only used in "honorable" and "sacred" places.

A typical case is that the robes of the Virgin, the Son, and God are blue. The other characters basically don't have blue robes.

In addition, the paintings of the Tang and Song dynasties actually have colors. Most of those pigments are made from ores.

A famous national treasure, a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and a color painting on silk. Its author, Wang Ximeng, spent half a year painting a picture scroll of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and then died young at the age of eighteen.

It is said that there are two reasons why he died.

One is that the heart is haggard, and the vitality is overdrawn for the sake of painting. Another reason is that the mineral pigments in the painting are poisonous, which invades his body and causes him to die.

It can also be known that ancient painting pigments are not only rare, but also harmful to the human body.

However, with the innovation of technology, most pigments have become very cheap, and there are no side effects, so everyone can use them casually.

In the same way, spray painting, wall painting, decorative painting, computer drawing, etc., gradually replacing ancient murals, is also the progress of the times.

After all, the ancient hand-painted murals not only have super high requirements for the painter's skills, but also are time-consuming and laborious, and there is no efficiency at all.

In the modern era of paying attention to speed, many merchants and financiers are bent on pursuing efficiency, and the mural is best completed in one or two days, and it will definitely not wait for ten days and half a month.

Not to mention, months, or even years, it took to complete the work.

This is not an exaggeration.

Whether it is the East or the West, some large-scale murals, when creating, really take a long time, little by little hooked up.

In years, it's definitely not unusual.

Therefore, Fan Ji'an and others felt that it was very rare for Bai Ye to paint murals in the temple with the ancient technique of white drawing.

Especially when they knew that Bai Ye had been in the temple for more than a month. Going in every morning and coming out at night, this perseverance, patience, and meditation are worthy of appreciation.

In an instant, Fan Ji'an also moved his mind: "It's better to ...... Shall we take a look?"

“…… Okay, too. ”

Several old men glanced at each other and immediately made a decision.

In fact, they know in their hearts that going to see it is actually a statement. Even if this statement is made, it certainly has little effect. It is impossible for them to go and see it, and the mural can be restored to its former appearance. It's just that there are some things that you still have to do when you know that they are irreparable.

Where is the righteousness......

Fan Ji'an and the others set off, but when they got older, they became more resolute and resolute, and they left as soon as they said.

It's just that with their current identity and status, they can definitely be called celebrities in Hangzhou, and they are also the most influential core.

A group of people go out, even if it's just to do what they want, without disturbing and alarming the others.

However, they are also followed by a group of people, worried that something will happen to these old people, and they should still be notified. A few phone calls went out, not to mention Jiang Yuan and the others, and even some officials from relevant departments also received the news and hurried over.

All of a sudden, the busy ten-mile long street was crowded with people. By the time Fan Ji'an and the others arrived at their destination, there was already a large group of people waiting for a long time.

Among them, the leader is Jiang Yuan, even if he and Fan Ji'an and others are not in the same industry, nor is it a system of subordinate and subordinate relationships.

But at this moment, he greeted him respectfully and courteously.

In fact, Fan Ji'an also knows Jiang Yuan, and even has a few faces. It's easy to deal with it, and he didn't be very polite, and asked directly: "Xiao Jiang, have you seen the murals in the temple, how is it?"

"Uh......"

Jiang Yuan also knew why these people came, so it was not surprising for this question. It's just that he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"How?"

Fan Ji'an raised his eyebrows, and became even more curious: "Good is good, bad is bad, what's the difficulty?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it, and suddenly showed a bitter smile: "Old Fan, I'm afraid that if you say it, you don't believe it." In my opinion, the murals in the temple have the style of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What?"

Hearing this evaluation, a group of people were stunned.

Mainly, this is too high-rated.

Murals, the wind of the Tang Dynasty, what this means, ordinary people may not understand. But in the minds of connoisseurs such as Fan Jian'an, this has a special meaning and cannot be used indiscriminately.

That is a very high praise, even some modern masters who specialize in studying and copying Tang Dynasty paintings may not be worthy of such evaluation.

But now, Jiang Yuan told them that the murals of white leaves have the style of the Tang Dynasty.

Fan Ji'an and others inevitably had doubts. They think that Jiang Yuan is not a painter, and they are afraid that they don't understand the art of painting, so they will talk nonsense.

So Fan Ji was relieved, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, this is not a joke, can you be sure?"

"I'm not sure. ”

There is no doubt that Jiang Yuan also knows what the comment of the Tang Dynasty means. So he vetoed himself, and then said: "Old Fan, you are experts, you can appreciate and judge by yourself." ”

"That ......"

Fan Ji'an's eyes turned and looked at the small temple next to him: "You lead the way." ”

Click!

Jiang Yuan nodded, immediately led everyone, and opened the temple door again. It's just that this time, there is no need to break through, because at this time, Cao Xiang greeted him personally......
