Chapter Seventy-Three: Qi Lao's Affirmation
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Zhao Tianming drove to the hotel to pick up Ye Qiushuang, only to see that the woman was unhappy.
Zhao Tianming was slightly embarrassed and smiled: "It's okay to have fun in the past two days, right?"
Ye Qiushuang sneered: "I did something sorry for me, I feel ashamed, right?"
This woman will always have ambiguity when she speaks, and Zhao Tianming is a little used to communicating with her. Perhaps, old women will always be abnormal!
"Be careful when you talk in the future! I haven't married a wife yet. Zhao Tianming couldn't help but remind.
Then, I didn't continue to talk nonsense with her, otherwise I don't know when I could get involved. He had already contacted Qi Lao, and his old man was free now. Hearing that it was suspected that Zhang Daqian's antique works, Qi Lao expressed great interest in appreciating them.
Coming to Qi Lao's antique shop again, Ye Qiushuang was here for the first time.
Although she also collects antiques and invests, she rarely communicates with the old-timers in the circle, and she doesn't know many seniors. Otherwise, her painting would not have been authenticated until now.
After all, she is still a woman, and she is not used to mixing with men all day long, especially old men.
"Old man, I didn't bring any gifts to the door, I'm sorry!" Ye Qiushuang said to Qi Lao.
When I met for the first time, I found that the old man's appearance was quite iconic, with small and round eyes, which made it unforgettable after seeing him once.
But those who really know Qi Lao know that people's appearance is a bit funny, but they are still quite serious, and they are not suitable for jokes.
Qi Lao smiled: "If you come together, I will be very happy old man." ”
Zhao Tianming almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, why does this sound so strange? Can you keep talking and don't learn from that old woman? It's easy for people to misunderstand!
Ye Qiushuang answered along the pole: "Don't worry, old man, he and I will often come to visit your old man in the future." ”
Feelings, Zhao Tianming, became the material for their conversation?
Don't talk nonsense, let's get dry goods first! Ye Qiushuang hurriedly took out his painting and handed it to Qi Lao. Whether it is the work of Bada Shanren or Zhang Daqian's antique work, as long as it is not a fake, she can accept it.
After all, whether it is Bada Shanren or Zhang Daqian, they are all famous artists, and their works are all worth a thousand gold.
Qi Lao spread out the picture scroll and observed it carefully. The picture is very simple, there is only one strange bird, but you can experience some emotions from the bird's posture and eyes, which is the so-called painting soul in many people's mouths.
The soul of a painting is the most important thing, and the appearance cannot be called a masterpiece, only the god-like is a high realm. For example, if you draw a person, you can draw the emotions and thoughts of that person at that time, which is really amazing.
"What a painting!" the old man immediately praised.
He held a magnifying glass and watched for nearly twenty minutes before finally stopping.
"How is it? Is it Zhang Daqian's antique work?" Ye Qiushuang was more eager. For this painting, she ran a lot and put a lot into it.
Since Zhao Tianming found out the flaw, she basically agreed with Zhao Tianming's judgment. But Zhao Tianming is still too young, and his age makes others not have much confidence in him.
If the old man in front of him also has the same view as Zhao Tianming, then there is no doubt.
If it is Zhang Daqian's antique work, she estimates that she can make a lot of money, and when the time comes, it should not be difficult to take it to the auction for auction, and it should not be difficult to double.
Qi Lao glanced at Zhao Tianming in surprise, this young man, his heart is as careful as a hair, and it is really difficult for him to find out such tiny details.
Perhaps, his knowledge of antique appreciation is not rich enough, and his experience is not sophisticated enough. However, his potential is enormous, and his future is limitless! When he was young, he could not do it to this extent.
So, I was more optimistic about Zhao Tianming.
He nodded: "That's right! This is Zhang Daqian's painting, in addition to the flaw pointed out by Xiao Zhao, there are two or three inconspicuous paintings, all pointing to Zhang Daqian." ”
Everyone has their own habits, their own characteristics, and it is difficult to change. Although Zhang Daqian's antique paintings deliberately conceal his painting skills and learn from other people's styles, he still has his own traces in it inadvertently.
For example, the strange bird in the painting also has a slight sense of space in modern paintings, with a slight curve at the end of the pointed beak. That's a kind of habit in painting skills, just like writing, some people will habitually hook a little back at the end when they write horizontally.
Qi Lao patiently pointed it out, mentioning some identification methods of Zhang Daqian's paintings and so on.
He was one of the most legendary ink-splashed painters in the 20th century, especially in landscape painting. After living overseas, the combination of painting style and writing, heavy color, ink and wash into one, especially splashing ink and splashing color, created a new artistic style, because of its poetry, calligraphy, painting and Qi Baishi, Pu Xinshe is equally famous, so it is also called "South Zhang North Qi" and "South Zhang North Pu".
Many people may not be aware of his achievements in painting, but if you know that he was once compared to the Spanish abstract painter Picasso, you will know how awesome it is.
There is a great style of body, which is also a very important piece of evidence. Qi Lao said.
In addition to being good at landscapes, figures, flowers, and feathers, Zhang Daqian is relatively lacking in calligraphy, which should be his regret.
Later, he learned from many calligraphers, participated in the gestures of the Yellow Valley in the Song Dynasty, and learned Shi Tao's strong and eclectic calligraphy style.
On the basis of inheriting the tradition, his calligraphy art integrates the artistic conception of landscape painting, not blindly pursuing the superficial publicity and exaltation, but the fusion of force and feelings, seeking curiosity in the peace, so that his calligraphy is vigorous and elegant, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, Zhang Daqian's pen is strong and elegant in his own style, which is called "Daqianti" by later generations.
To sum up, it is basically finalized, this is an antique work by Zhang Daqian.
Because it is still the work of Bada Shanren Zhu Qi, the value is quite high. Qi Lao conservatively estimated that more than five million is absolute.
After listening to the comments, Ye Qiushuang was very happy, and the resentment that had been hung by Zhao Tianming in the past two or three days was also blown away.
"You're lucky! You can find Zhang Daqian's painting. There are a lot of his paintings in the world, but they are basically either collected in museums or treasured by big collectors, and very few are in the private sector. Qi Lao said.
He himself also collected one, but it was not as good as this antique work, which was Zhang Daqian's early work.
Subsequently, Qi Lao talked to Zhao Tianming about the ancient tomb of Emperor Jianwen, revealing some of the information inside, the excavation work is still continuing, and the local government is ready to fund the construction of a museum and so on.
"The unsolved case in the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as over. ”
