Chapter 904: Cambridge Museum Paintings Exhibition
Completed.
Clapped your hands, and a painting was finished.
It's just that it was completed, but Mo Bai didn't get Christie's to auction.
Art is such a thing, if you say it is valuable, he will be valuable, and if you say it is not valuable, he will not be valuable.
Although Mo Bai is well-known, to be honest, he has not made much of a name for himself in the art world.
However, it can't be said that if it is only in the domestic painting world, Mo Bai's fame is still quite big.
At least, Mo Bai's "Eight Horses" has created a sky-high price.
It's just that Mo Bai's paintings today are not Chinese paintings.
It's an oil painting.
There is a big difference between Chinese painting and oil painting.
In addition to one belonging to China, the more important reason is the difference in technique.
Many Chinese painters may be well-known in China, but once they are released abroad, they are not very famous.
Mo Bai chose Van Gogh's works in order to make money from foreigners.
Therefore, before making money, Mo Bai must make a name for himself in the international art world.
The best way to make a name for yourself is to attend an art exhibition.
For this reason, Mo Bai signed up for the Cambridge Museum exhibition in the United Kingdom.
It's just that, although he signed up, Mo Bai didn't stay idle.
For a painter to become famous, a painter's work needs to get the attention of the world, not just painting good works.
There are too many geniuses in this world who don't meet talents.
Even Van Gogh's paintings were discovered only after he died.
Therefore, it is very effective to use some of the necessary means to attract the attention of the whole world.
After thinking about it carefully, Mo Bai accepted an interview with a media.
"Mo Baida, long time no see. ”
"yes, long time no see. ”
"I heard that you recently sold a dozen Picasso paintings at Christie's. ”
"Yes. ”
"Where did you get so many paintings?"
"That's a long ...... to talk about."
"Well, your grandfather is amazing. But you're so rich, is it necessary to sell your paintings?"
"It's just the appearance, I'm poor. ”
"My God, the media say you're worth hundreds of billions. ”
"That's just the value, anyway, I'm very poor now. ”
"Well, then I'll believe it for now. You seem to have signed up for an exhibition at the Cambridge Museum recently?"
"Yes. ”
"How did you come up with the idea of signing up for an art exhibition?"
"It's also poor. ”
"I ...... Don't be kidding. ”
"I'm so poor, not poor, what do you say I'm going to do with painting?"
"Then what kind of painting did you sign up for at the Cambridge Museum in the UK, or is it a Chinese painting?"
"No, it's not, it's an oil painting. ”
"Oil paintings?"
"Aren't you the best at Chinese painting?"
"I can't say that, I'm very good at Chinese painting, but I also know how to paint oil. ”
"What do you think is the difference between Chinese painting and more Western oil paintings?"
"Actually, there is not much difference, they are all a form of artistic expression. The only difference, if you want me to say, is that oil paintings are generally more expensive. ”
"Mo Baida, how does this sentence sound strange to me. ”
The reporter was stunned.
He felt as if he understood, but he felt as if he didn't.
However, he continued to ask: "The international art world is very competitive, especially oil painting, do you think you can stand out in such fierce competition? In particular, you are not well-known in the international art world. ”
"Of course, I have absolute confidence. ”
"Can you explain why?"
"Because I'm a genius. ”
“……”
flipped through the interview, and it ended in Mo Bai's funny answer.
Of course, this interview also quickly appeared in major media.
"I'll go, why is Dabai so dick every time he interviews. ”
"It's not a dick, it's just funny. ”
"Because I'm a genius...... As soon as this sentence was said, the reporter was speechless. ”
Although many fans know that Mo Bai is used to teasing.
However, every time I saw Mo Bai's teasing answer, I still couldn't stop being shocked.
It's just that, in addition to the shock, many people can't help but worry.
"The competition in the international art world is too fierce, and I don't know if Dabai can find a way. ”
"We should believe in Dabai, Dabai is a genius. ”
"Of course, we know that Dabai is a genius, but the international art scene has always been dominated by Western culture. Although Dabai's paintings are not bad, his paintings are all Chinese paintings, and his techniques are biased towards Eastern techniques. Even if the painting is extremely awesome, these people who are influenced by Western culture can't understand it. ”
"It can't be said that although Dabai used to paint Chinese paintings, Dabai may not only be Chinese paintings. Just like the Eight Horses, everyone thinks it is a Chinese painting, but they don't know that the Eight Horses not only uses Chinese painting techniques, but also incorporates Western techniques. From this work, we can see that Dabai has long been a combination of Chinese and Western, and his attainments are very deep. ”
That being said, there has never been a Chinese painter who has much status in the international art world. ”
This can actually be seen from the auction price of calligraphy and painting.
Although there are also many masters in China, such as Wu Guanzhong, Fan Zeng, and Huang Zhou...... These painters are already well-known in China.
However, their paintings were sold for just over 100 million yuan in China.
Even if it is the more well-known Zhang Daqian, who has passed away, Qi Baishi ...... Their paintings are also not fetched at domestic auctions.
The highest Qi Baishi was auctioned for more than 900 million yuan not long ago. Although this price seems to have reached the world's first-class level, it is not much different from the paintings of internationally renowned painters. But many people don't know that the 900 million yuan was jointly auctioned by 12 groups of works, and only then did 900 million yuan be auctioned. If it is replaced by a single piece, the price of each piece cannot even reach 100 million yuan.
However, looking at some foreign painters, a work is easily hundreds of millions of ...... Well, not the yuan, it's the dollar.
Based on such data, can you say that domestic painters are inferior to foreign painters?
Don't say that Mo Bai is not convinced, even ordinary spectators are not convinced.
The reason for this is that the international art world still uses Western culture as the aesthetic standard.
Even if Mo Bai blends East and West, he may not be able to enter the eyes of international artists.
It's not just domestic spectators.
Mo Bai's interview also shocked many international viewers.
"Damn, who is this girl, so confident?"
"You don't know who he is, he is China's Mobai. ”
"Who is Mo Bai?"
"Big flicker, super big flicker. ”
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Mo Bai originally had some fame abroad, but when Mo Bai's super fame went out, a group of international visitors no longer remembered what Mo Bai was doing. They only know that Mo Bai is a big fool, and he is a super fool. Even if there are some spectators who know that Mo Bai used to play football and write...... But compared to the title of Super Big Fool, nothing else.
"Okay, come and participate, and see if anyone will appreciate your work when the time comes. ”
"I'd love to see what genius this guy has. ”
"Well, I'm near Cambridge, I'll check it out then. ”
Hearing that Mo Bai was confidently preparing to participate in the Cambridge Museum Art Exhibition, many international visitors also complained.
