Chapter 899: Flickering in progress

"In the mountains, you were shaken and bubbled. ”

"Since it's bubbling, I'll say a few words. ”

"First, in response to rumors, 12 Picasso's works are indeed mine. Second, all 12 paintings are genuine, not fakes. Thirdly, I know that many people will not believe it, and since they don't believe it, then, Jim, can you let me identify your paintings?"

As soon as Mo Bai just showed up, he posted three Weibo posts.

At the same time, he also took the initiative to ask Jim in the media.

To this, Jim also responded generously: "Of course you can." ”

The two parties decided to do so, and Mo Bai personally went to Spain to appraise the painting in Jim's hand.

"I'll go, Dabai, you're really going to Spain. ”

"Yes. ”

"There's no need to go, it's useless if you go. ”

"Why, I'm a great appraiser. ”

"Dabai, come and flicker again. ”

"I never fool. ”

On the way to Spain, Mo Bai exchanged a few words with the disciples of Bai Yutang.

However, Mo Bai, who had been thinking about his thoughts, just chatted for a while and then went down. This made many white jade disciples even more worried.

"Alas, Da Bai is going to be more auspicious this time. ”

"Yes, judging from all the current signs, Dabai's "Verga Girl" may really be a fake. ”

"However, I still hope that Dabai can succeed this time. ”

Everyone prayed, hoping that Mo Bai would return smoothly.

The next day, Mo Bai arrived in Spain by plane.

At this time, the rich man Jim came to greet Mo Bai in person: "Mo Bai, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, if I knew it was you, I don't think we need to do it at all." ”

Jim was angry before.

However, when it was revealed that Mo Bai was the collector of "The Girl from Yavel", Jim didn't want to care.

He actually admires Mo Bai very much, and he thinks Mo Bai is a genius.

Not only in the arts, but also in business.

It's just that this incident is known all over the world, and Jim can't help it.

"You're welcome, it's better to give everyone the truth. ”

Mo Bai and Jim hug.

Jim had called Mo Bai a few times before he came, and it was clear that Jim had no ill will towards him.

The pusher inside is not Jim, it's Sotheby's.

Of course, what Sotheby's wants to deal with is not Mobai, but Christie's.

However, whether Sotheby's wants to deal with Mo Bai or not, Mo Bai must stand up.

"Please, get in the car. ”

With Mo Bai, the group came to a large villa in the western suburbs of Madrid.

At this time, the villa was already full of people.

There are staff at Christie's, and there are master appraisers brought by Sotheby's.

In addition, there are dozens of media outlets.

Each of them introduced it, but Jim's assistant opened the painting of "The Girl of Verga".

"This is a painting that I bought from Sotheby's 10 years ago, and I kept it for 10 years. ”

Jim briefly flipped through it.

Later, the expert brought by Sotheby's also added at this time: "The Girl of Verga painted a total of 5 girls, and the painter condensed the different aspects of these five figures into a single plane, and combined the figures from different angles in a structural combination. It seems as if he has broken down the bodies of five people into simple geometric shapes and flexible and layered color blocks, and then recombined them on the canvas to form the human body, space, and background. It's like building a building out of bricks. The front of a woman's breasts becomes a side distortion, and a side nose appears on the front face, and even the facial features on one face are all misplaced, showing an elongated or extended state. The picture presents a single flatness, without a sense of three-dimensional perspective. All the backgrounds and figures are done through color, the use of color is exaggerated and grotesque, the contrast is prominent and restrained, giving people a strong perspective impact, which is Picasso's unique style. ”

"Appraisal from all aspects, whether it is the style of painting, or the painting technique, or the paper, pen and ink...... It can be confirmed that this is the original Picasso. And there is only one known "Girl of Verga", and this one is the real one, then, the other one is a fake. ”

Sotheby's knew Jim didn't want to be embarrassed, so he sent an appraiser to help with the identification.

Of course, he said that he was helping to identify it, but in fact, he was afraid that Jim would sell his white favor and directly say that his paintings were fakes.

Several appraisers talked eloquently, and a group of media reporters nodded one after another.

However, despite this, Mo Bai smiled and said: "What you said is not too complicated, if you want me to see, to identify whether this painting is a fake, you can actually use a simpler way." ”

In fact, when he saw this painting of Jim, Mo Bai already knew that this was the real thing.

It's just that if this really admits the authenticity, Mo Bai will be brainless.

"Mr. Mo Bai, what do you think is a simpler way to do it?"

One of the appraisers asked.

"For example, look at the faces of these girls. ”

Although this painting is genuine, it is just that after systematically copying Picasso's works, Mo Bai's understanding of Picasso's works has reached an unparalleled level. If you really want to say, I am afraid that the world knows more about Picasso's works than Picasso. But Picasso has passed away, so the only person in the world who knows Picasso's works best is Mo Bai.

"These expressions?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there anything wrong with these expressions?"

"Of course not, you see, the fifth girl actually showed a smile. ”

Pointing to the fifth girl in "Yawei Girl", Mo Bai said.

"Mr. Mo Bai, isn't it normal for a girl to have a smiling expression?"

Said one of Sotheby's leading appraisers.

"If it's in the hands of other painters, maybe that's normal. But, folks, you know, our author is Picasso. To identify Picasso's work, we must first know what kind of person Picasso was. Many people know that Picasso was talented, a genius, and a representative of the history of modern art in the West. But did you know that Picasso's private life was actually very bad? ”

"Excuse me, Mr. Mobai, Picasso's paintings have nothing to do with whether his private life is bad or not. I think you should go straight to the painting itself. ”

The appraiser interrupted Mo Bai and said.

It's just that this sentence was despised by Mo Bai: "Hehe, I finally know why you are just an appraiser, not an artist, you never know how an artist expresses his art." A classic work is not only about the artist's penmanship, but also about his temperament. When he is happy, his painting style will be warm and sunny, and when he is sad, his painting will be stormy. To a large extent, the artist's temperament determines the height of his artworks. ”

Although these words have not yet begun to identify the painting itself, it is refreshing to the media on the sidelines.

At least, they felt that Mo Bai had a point.

In particular, compared to some of the nonsense comments made by those appraisers just now, they understood what Mo Bai said.

"I agree with what Mr. Mo Bai said. ”

Mo Bai has a point. ”

Several reporters said.

"Okay. ”

Sotheby's appraiser couldn't do it, so he had to signal Mo Bai to continue.

In fact, he also knew that what Mo Bai said made sense, but he didn't want Mo Bai to waste his time.

"We all know that Picasso was very fond of women all his life, and it can be said that his whole life was related to women. Even when he died, he was still inseparable from women. However, Picasso did not necessarily cherish women. In addition to his own wife, he also had relationships with countless women in society, and these women also served as his lovers. However, as soon as these women are no longer young, Picasso will turn to another woman. ”

It's not about Picasso.

This is historically available.

"Picasso once said that I don't want people to look at my work and think about what inspired my paintings, because it's really hard to describe. Picasso once openly stated to the media: women are actually machines that carry pain. In many of Picasso's paintings, we can see a bull-headed human beast, which represents Picasso himself. Therefore, in Picasso's view, in his eyes, women cannot have so-called happiness. In fact, the women who had contact with Picasso were not happy, and this is reflected in his paintings. In almost all of Picasso's works, the women he painted, whether they were girls or young women, were either painful, tormented, hesitant, lonely, serious, or lost...... But there was no smile. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Bai pointed to the expression of the fifth girl in the painting.

This girl is really smiling.
