Chapter 225: Picture-in-Picture

"Huh, this is Liu Haili's painting?" Li Sisi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the payment of a painting on the wall.

Other calligraphers and painters may not know much, this Liu Haili, she still knows a little, he is now a well-known painter and art educator, he founded his own school, and has also served as various principals and deans.

At the same time, it is also one of the "three hooligans" in the cultural circles of the Republic of China, in 1912 founded the "Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts", not only co-educational, but also the use of mannequins, in 1914 it was to open a human body sketching class, creating a precedent for human body sketching, a sensation, known as "art traitors", was attacked by a group.

His paintings are still very valuable, millions and tens of millions. The painting in front of me is not a sketch of the human body, but a picture of the Yellow Mountain, which is full of clouds and mist, majestic and majestic, and quite imposing.

Legend has it that Liu Haili prefers to paint the Yellow Mountain, and his life is even more than ten on the Yellow Mountain, and his own creative methods and teaching methods also have travel sketches.

"You know him too, how about it? You haven't lost your job, right?" Wang Zhiwei seemed to be recognized, and he was quite interested.

Originally, he wanted to make a sketch of the human body and hang it, but he thought it was immoral. Who would believe that he was appreciating this kind of work with a purely artistic eye? Or don't make people laugh, people nowadays have no artistic cultivation at all.

I heard that he has a painting of Mount Huangshan, which was sold for more than 38 million yuan a few years ago. ”

"That was "Yellow Mountain Sea of Clouds", a record of the birth of the spring auction in 01, and later several of his paintings of Yellow Mountain were also auctioned for more than 10 million yuan, which became more and more popular in the collecting world. Zhao Tianming was drawn to their conversation and turned his attention to the painting they were talking about.

As a well-known painter of modern times, Liu Haili has certainly heard of it. However, there is no need for appraisal, and with his current eyesight, he can also see that there is a big gap between the painting in front of him and those fine paintings that fetch sky-high prices.

Liu Haili has created a large number of Huangshan paintings, but only a few fine works can be auctioned at such sky-high prices.

In fact, he has always had mixed reviews among the people, and all kinds of rumors continued, and Xu Beihong also had a lot of trouble, and there were also those who said that he was a traitor.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as the president of East China Art College, the dean and professor of Nanjing University of the Arts.

Xu Beihong also made a fuss about Liu Haisu's job arrangements for the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, so much so that he alarmed the prime minister to come forward to do the work, and it was calmed down.

After the Cultural Revolution, the Ministry of Culture and the Chinese Artists Association held the "Liu Haili Art Exhibition" for him at the National Art Museum of China.

"I'm not a boutique, it's not as good as those. Wang Zhiwei waved his hand and spent more than 10 million yuan to rob others of your life, he was not sick, just pretending to be a façade. In fact, don't look at this painting, it's not small, it cost less than a million.

"That will cost a lot of money, right?" Li Sisi touched the picture scroll, she couldn't make so much money by working hard, and the rich people threw it here casually, just to put on a façade and show their taste, and it was a lie to say that there was no fluctuation in her heart.

Li Sisi was sighing, who knew that the painting was placed too casually, and the whole frame was loosened and fell down, which immediately startled her.

Fortunately, Zhao Tianming was also beside him, stretched out his hand to hold it, and slowly put it down, so that it was not broken.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll put it on the table first, I've just cleaned it, and it's a little loose and normal. Wang Zhiwei said disapprerovingly, and personally helped, replacing Li Sisi, and lifting the frame to the table.

Looking at the painting on the mahogany table, Zhao Tianming subconsciously identified it, since he had a mysterious ancient mirror, he had such a habit of dealing with unknown things.

After the appraisal was completed, Zhao Tianming suddenly showed a surprised expression, but he didn't expect that this appraisal would really find that there was something else inside.

"Brother Wang, how did you get this painting?"

"I bought it in an antique painting and calligraphy shop, and it is said that a young man sold it and said that it was an ancestral heirloom of his family. What's the matter?

Wang Zhiwei is like a frightened bird, a little sensitive, and he has cleaned it up, is there still a fake? This is a bit of a slap in the face.

"It's not, it's just that there's something else in it, as for whether it's a surprise or an accident, it depends on your luck, Brother Wang. Don't you think this painting is a bit thick?" Zhao Tianming said with a smile.

"As soon as you say it, you really think it is, Brother Zhao, you won't talk about the routine of hiding paintings in those paintings in the collection world, there is still a painting hidden in it, right?"

Wang Zhiwei repeatedly touched both sides of the painting, a little excited, these collections of his were bought with real money, and they were never only eye-catching, and they really had never encountered such a good thing as picking up leaks.

Li Sisi also looked at Zhao Tianming with a pair of beautiful eyes, his neighbor seemed to be really capable, and he saw something strange as soon as he got started, no wonder even a big boss like Wang Zhiwei was willing to associate with him.

"You have to dismantle it to verify it to be sure, Brother Wang, don't you mind?"

"Don't mind, don't mind at all! Tear it down! See what's inside. Wang Zhiwei was in high spirits, regardless of whether the things inside were worth anything or not, they were all leaks, as long as they weren't the goods on the street that cost dozens of yuan.

It's impossible to think about it, that kind of goods will be hidden with a painting of nearly a million? Theoretically, it should be much more valuable. Unless it's particularly commemorative for the original owner, it's actually worthless, if it's really like that, he also admits it!

Well, this painting was not that valuable before, and the owner didn't care, which is also a possibility, but his intuition told him that what was hidden inside must not be simple.

"It's better for you to do this kind of professional thing! I won't make a mess. After fumbling for a while, I didn't know how to start, Wang Zhiwei decisively let Xian, in case he accidentally broke the things inside, and the treasure in his hand was gone, it was called a tragedy.

Zhao Tianming carefully dismantled the frame, it looked like it had been a few years, and the frame of this painting was really strong.

When I opened the picture frame on one side, I saw that there were really two layers stacked inside, and it should be that one painting had not run away.

In fact, it is not uncommon to hide paintings in paintings and Guanyin to hide treasures, especially in the turbulent era, and between eagerness, the commonly used methods are nothing more than these.

These methods can be better preserved and avoid damage. To a certain extent, it can also provide a storage environment for treasures, preventing the influence of factors such as temperature, humidity, sun exposure, and damage from foreign objects.

In particular, most of the people maintain a sense of awe for Guanyin paintings and the like, and rarely destroy them for no reason.
