Chapter 160: Interpretation

The bearded Franck is a famous painter who specializes in portraiture, and once sold a painting for tens of millions of dollars, this time to accompany his blonde boyfriend on a trip to China.

Hearing someone scold him for being ignorant and not appreciative, Frank was immediately angry:

It's forgivable to say that I don't know how to appreciate paintings?

Are you kidding!

Not only Franck, but everyone heard Wei Xia's loud shout, and they all turned their heads and looked behind them curiously:

A pair like a golden boy and a girl, the man is handsome and tough, and the woman is fairy.

It's Wei Xia and Li Liyu!

Except for three foreigners, everyone knew them.

Wei Xia's reputation is so high that it can be said that everyone in the whole country knows about it; Li Liyu is a gold-medal screenwriter, one of the organizers of the art exhibition, and a member of the Art Association.

But at this time, no one came up to say hello, and the scene was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Liyu, you're here!" President Chen said awkwardly.

Li Liyu's pretty face was expressionless, nodded lightly, and replied:

"President Chen, I'm sorry to be late. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" President Chen hurriedly waved his hand and turned his gaze to Wei Xia: "I can't think of it, hehe! Liyu actually brought Mr. Wei here, welcome Mr. Wei!"

After speaking, President Chen took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake hands with Wei Xia.

Wei Xia could see at a glance that this Chairman Chen and those three foreigners were together, and he didn't have any good feelings in his heart, so where would he shake hands with him?

"Ah, President Chen, right? Since you are the president, you can't just bring anyone here! This kind of garbage has no effect at all except polluting the air. Wei Xia said unceremoniously.

Unexpectedly, Jones, the blonde man among the three foreigners, actually knew Chinese Chinese, and heard that Wei Xia was scolding, and immediately said in broken Chinese Chinese:

"Who are you, and why do you insult foreign friends as soon as you come up?"

Frank does not understand Chinese Chinese, but Wei Xia's earliest sentence was scolded in a foreign language, and he, an internationally famous painter, of course, has to fight back!

"No matter who you are, I can tell you responsibly that you are the ignorant person! The one who doesn't know how to appreciate is you! Slandering an internationally famous painter who doesn't know how to paint is not funny at all!" Frank said in a deep voice.

Painter? This was not Wei Xia's expectation.

Simply, he ignored the blonde Jones's questioning, and faced the painter Frank head-on, in a cold tone:

"You are also a painter, and you dare to call yourself an internationally famous painter? Okay! Then you can use your ignorance to explain this painting and see if you are worthy of the status of a painter!"

Frank laughed angrily and said loudly:

"Great! Someone who hasn't questioned me for too long has appeared, and you, yes!

Since you dare to speak out, I believe you also have a certain ability to appreciate, in this case, the two of us will explain it separately.

But before I explain, I have one condition!

I think this painting is rubbish, and if my explanation is correct, I'm going to trouble this lady next to you to have dinner with me. ”

Ya has been playing Li Liyu's idea from the beginning!

The fairy-like Oriental woman, Li Liyu in front of her is the one President Chen said, and she doesn't need to be introduced at all.

Li Liyu subconsciously stood in front of Wei Xia, she knew Wei Xia too well, for fear that Wei Xia would go violent.

Wei Xia was already about to use his fists to deepen his friendship with Frank, but when he was suddenly stopped by Li Liyu, he suddenly understood that the third sister was worried about him.

"Huh~ Sister, you won!" Wei Xia smiled helplessly.

Li Liyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Art Association holds an art exhibition, and if a vicious incident occurs here, it will be extremely difficult to bid for it in the future.

She won't worry about what is wrong with Wei Xia~

And she's looking forward to her brother explaining the painting!

Wei Xia, who was self-inflicted, turned to Frank and smiled slightly:

"If you can't read the painting at all, and my interpretation is correct, what are you going to do?

The word "broken shoes" was literally translated by Wei Xia in a foreign language.

The petite beauty didn't know what "broken shoes" meant, but she knew very well that it wasn't a good thing, so she spat on the ground fiercely:

"Phew, you're the broken shoe!"

There was an extra mouthful of beauty on the ground.

With an indifferent sneer, Wei Xia said to Frank:

"That's fine! I propose, if my reading is correct, you can just lick the ground clean!!"

Frank didn't care about Wei Xia's humiliation at all, he didn't think he would lose at all, and said proudly:

"Okay! Let's get started!"

Wei Xia stretched out his left hand and gestured, letting Frank start first.

"Cut! pretend to be a gesture!" Frank said disdainfully, and without being humble, he began to evaluate the painting.

"Everyone, please see, this ink painting is not signed, and I don't know the author.

First of all, compositionally, it is an inexplicable painting.

The small house is very delicately painted, but the proportions are not well controlled. But what is this cat? A cat with tears and a smile on its face, what does the author want to illustrate? Imagine yourself as a cat?

Then there are the techniques.

Ink lines can make the structure of a painting clearer and more intuitive, and the outline of emotional changes is unsatisfactory and not delicate enough, this cat is an example!

The author is obviously realistic, but such a big cat feels so abstract, the facial expressions are not rich enough, and the body parts are even more lifeless.

To put it simply, this painting is like a child's painting, and the creation is incredible, and the painting skills are obviously not enough. ”

There were many people at the scene who were proficient in foreign languages, and they kept translating Franck's words, and the onlookers nodded frequently, agreeing with Frank's statement.

Then, Frank made a "please" gesture and asked Wei Xia to explain.

Wei Xia pursed his lips, stepped forward, changed his face to an extremely solemn expression, and said:

"Guys, the first thing to say!

In terms of technique, tools, and composition, it can be concluded that this is a Chinese painting, and this bearded gentleman is wrong to explain a Chinese painting from the point of view of a foreign painting.

Let's start with the small house on the right.

The reason why it seems to be incongruous is because this is the perspective of the cat in the painting! Through this incongruity and difference in size, it shows a cat looking at its home from a distance.

Why home? The cat's smile! It looks at this little house with love on its face, which is its home.

Mr. Bearded just said that ink painting makes the cat's body not vivid enough, and I agree! Because this is a cat that is about to die of old age, and tears represent its reluctance to give up on home and the world.

The author uses a brush to express this kind of death through simple lines, which is lifelike and appropriate!

In general, what the author wants to express is an elderly cat who leaves her home alone, waiting for death in warm memories. ”

Smack~~~Smack~~~

The crowd erupted in applause.

After listening to Wei Xia's interpretation, and then looking at this painting, people were surprised to find that every stroke of the entire work revolves around the theme, and there is no superfluous place.

Frank saw this, too, and his face turned pale.

If you understand it, it will be wonderful everywhere, and if you can't understand it, it will be clumsy everywhere!

"It's just a child's work, what's the depth, you're really good at making up stories!" said Frank.

He wouldn't admit that Wei Xia's interpretation was correct anyway, otherwise, would he really lick the ground?

Wei Xia raised a finger and shook it, and said:

"Children's minds are pure, their imaginations are much stronger than adults, and their works may not be without depth. If you can't understand the theme that the author is trying to express, how can Van Gogh's paintings be better than those of children?"

Van Gogh's paintings are not as good as children's?

Frank seems to have found a way out of the predicament, and immediately sarcastically said:

"You dare to comment on the master's paintings? The master's paintings are not even as good as children? Since you are so good, then you should paint one!

Find a pen and paper and let him draw!"

"This... Mr. Wei..."Chairman Chen looked at Wei Xia and was very embarrassed.

Wei Xia nodded casually and said:

"Painting on the spot, no problem! President Chen, you should have paper, pencil and drawing boards, right?"

Chairman Chen looked back at Li Liyu, who was a little afraid to make this decision.

I don't know what Li Liyu is doing, Bei Yan bit his lower lip, a touch of crimson appeared on his pretty face, and seeing President Chen's inquiring gaze, Li Liyu bowed his head slightly in agreement.

Soon, all kinds of painting tools were taken.

Wei Xia rolled up his sleeves and did not hesitate to draw a Van Gogh's masterpiece "Sunflowers".

Before the ink dried, the painting was plastered on the wall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there have been no masters of Chinese painting in recent years, which involves a very interesting question.

Is there a master or a master's work?

Take this "Sunflowers" as an example, if you don't know Van Gogh, this painting is a child's whimsical work!

The sunflowers in the painting have their own postures and emotions, completely anthropomorphic, just like the various troubles encountered by children growing up, and the background also sets off this atmosphere just right.

If you know Van Gogh's life, then the meaning of this painting is to allude to the various gloom in his life, as well as the social turmoil at that time, and the different psychology of people.

Definitely two different levels!

So, when you know a painter well enough, you will really understand his work, and then you can find that it is a master's work!

The question is, the person who paints the master's work is not a master himself, so how can people understand him?

Hehe, this is a very strange phenomenon. ”

The crowd erupted in applause again, which lasted for a long time.

Through Wei Xia's interpretation, people have understood the artistic value of "Sunflowers".

While people were in high spirits, the three Francks slipped into the crowd and fled.
