Chapter 892: Chinese Painting

Guo Kaiming, as the leader of a country, is not only good at managing the country, but also has a very strong ability to appreciate himself, so to speak, but anyone who can be a high-ranking official, it is almost all outstanding people, whether it is a head or an attainment in other places, it is generally extraordinary, and there are many people with a high level of art among the senior officials.

Guo Kaiming, as a great master of martial arts, has a smart and flexible mind, needless to say, he also likes to write and paint in his spare time, listen to a little Peking Opera or something, and has reached a very high level in his appreciation of artworks.

Because of this, when he came to the Guo family compound, he saw Guo Dalu's calligraphy and painting works hanging in the corridor, and he could feel the charm of these works of art even more.

This visit to Britain and the United States, in the discussion of the choice of national gifts, the first thing he thought of was his nephew Guo Dalu's calligraphy and painting works, in his eyes, Guo Dalu's landscape or flowers and birds, that has surpassed the vast majority of Chinese calligraphers and painters, this selection of national gifts, Guo Dalu's works must be very qualified.

"What? You want to use my calligraphy and painting as a national gift? Second uncle, let me tell you, don't beat me with these calligraphy and painting ideas, I still want to pass them on to my children and grandchildren!"

After hearing Guo Kaiming's request, Guo Dalu was very unhappy: "Do you know my level of calligraphy and painting? I can just paint and calligraphy, and that is the level of a national treasure! A few years later, whether it is my calligraphy or painting, it will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting! If you exchange such a valuable work of art as a national gift with others, are you willing to do it?"

Guo Kaiming laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to do anything, even the level of bragging is rare in the world! Your kid's calligraphy and painting skills are indeed not low, and it can't be mistaken to say that it is a national treasure, but what we chose this time is the national gift, the national gift is originally the treasure of our country, we are such a big country in China, and the exchange of national gifts with Britain and the United States and other countries, it is natural to come up with works that represent the highest cultural style and artistic achievements of our country, money is just a concept for us, don't feel distressed! You are not short of this money!"

Guo Dalu was helpless and said: "Say, how many do you want? Don't take too much, I can't bear to take too much!"

He is usually at home, and he will improvise some works when he is interested, whether it is calligraphy or painting, he will start to write and paint when he wants to write, each work has poured out his personal feelings and perception of life, each work can be called a masterpiece, and now Guo Kaiming said that he wants to choose a few pieces to do a national gift and exchange with people, Guo Dalu is really a little reluctant.

Others may not know, but he himself knows what level of his calligraphy and painting has reached, whether it is a small work or a large volume of landscapes, Guo Dalu can be swayed at will, with ease, in calligraphy, it is a strong spirituality and understanding, there is a different world of thousands of years of cultural addition, in the level of calligraphy and painting, up and down thousands of years, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, it is impossible for anyone to compare with him.

"I see that your picture of the Four Gentlemen is good, I'll let people pick it up when I go back, well, you don't have anything to do these days, you can just create at home with peace of mind, and strive to create a few more." ”

Guo Dalu said: "There are so many experts and professors in the National Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, let them create, why are you looking for me? I'm not a professional in this!"

Guo Kaiming shook his head and smiled: "Our National Academy of Fine Arts, there are still a few people who are engaged in Western creation who can get their hands on their works, and those who are engaged in traditional calligraphy and painting art, hehe, forget it." Now the state is investigating what these people have done over the years, and their works are no longer suitable!"

Now in China, people are impetuous, many people in charge of painting and calligraphy majors, no professional knowledge at all, bullshit does not understand, but pretentious, but there are many ways to make money, are to select a person, and make efforts to hype in the circle, and finally that person is boasted to be a master, and the price of the works created is naturally high, and then engage in several art exhibitions, participate in several small auctions, so the works of this "master" have great commodity attributes, and are often bought at a high price, and then the person in charge and the "artist" Then add two to five, and pocket the money according to the agreement.

Some people lament the high price of works of art such as calligraphy and painting, but generally can't think of the dirty things behind the high price.

Because of the price attribute of calligraphy and painting, these calligraphy and painting have become a very good gift, many people want to give the superior leader calligraphy and painting works, so they deliberately take the leader who likes calligraphy and painting to the street stall to buy something, and then the stall owner will sell it to the leader at a very low price, so that the leader picks up the leak at a low price, and the subordinates are not considered gifts, all the procedures are legal, but the superiors and subordinates tacitly know each other, and the relationship naturally goes further.

This kind of bribery is very skillful, and now it has attracted the attention of the relevant state departments, and relevant personnel are being dispatched to investigate and collect evidence, and several heads of art academies have been involved.

In this case, Guo Kaiming naturally would not give away the works of these people as a national gift.

On the contrary, Guo Dalu, because he is not an insider in the system, has no interests with people in the calligraphy and painting art world, which also creates the purity of his artistic creation, and the works created in this environment are the most suitable as a national gift.

"Those wastes, they really should be checked, they don't have much ability, but they can blow more than anyone else, and they have long been unpleasant!"

Listening to Guo Kaiming's meaning, the country is going to deal with these people, Guo Dalu is extremely happy: "This unhealthy trend in the country has to be rectified, I am not free during this time, if I am free, I have to do something in the calligraphy and painting world!"

Guo Kaiming laughed: "Don't get involved, get busy with your movies and television!"

The new year passed quickly, and after February, Guo Kaiming, Ye Junmei and his wife went abroad to visit the United States together, and after signing some cooperation treaties with the United States, the two sides sent gifts to each other, the United States gave a new work of a famous contemporary Western oil painter "Lake in the Forest", and Guo Kaiming gave them a landscape freehand painting with a strong oriental style, "The Scenery is Good Here".

These two works were specially exchanged in front of the media, and the news camera also made a close-up of the two paintings, and they appeared on the news network on the same day.

Although it is only a short two-minute news, and the close-up shot of these two paintings is only two seconds, it is this short two-second freeze frame, and the signature of this landscape freehand sent by Huaxia has been clearly seen by the audience.

The seal stamped by this painting is called "Beicheng Jushi", and it is still a seal character seal, but the signature is used in the line book, and the three traditional characters of "Guo Dalu" are in an extremely conspicuous position, and they can be seen in the same way.
