Episode 42 Style first
These picture stones, its composition elements are not painterly, and the composition layout does not conform to the painting theory, but the pattern is intuitive, with artistic conception, there is no ambiguity, everyone can understand it, and the market likes this.
After reading Kowloon as a whole, I especially like the back of these parties, and I express my appreciation from the bottom of my heart.
He clearly felt that Mr. Wang was a tasteful person, and what he pursued was personality, more avant-garde, and not blindly followed.
Although Jiulong expressed his respect, he thought that the purpose of his entry into the stone realm was to make money, so deep down, he did not approve of this, maybe everyone has their own ambitions, so he didn't say it directly.
"Mr. Wang, I found that there are many people who play with the shape stone, and the price is surprisingly high, the picture stone is not only small, but the price is not high, why is this?"
Jiulong asked a very practical question, and he wanted to hear what Mr. Wang had in mind.
Mr. Wang pondered for a moment and said: "Picture stone appreciation did not really become popular until the end of the last century, so the development history is short, and the theoretical construction lags behind, which has become a bottleneck restricting the appreciation of picture stones, and the low price is reasonable.
"At present, the appreciation of strange pictures and stones generally stays in the stage of object hunting, and the sublimation of picture appreciation from connotation to culture, art and spirituality should be the direction of future efforts. ”
Mr. Wang patiently explained that in fact, he usually doesn't talk much, and only when he saw that Kowloon was doing well today, he answered his questions, and he hoped that Kowloon would not always think about making money, but should think more about cultural improvement.
"Where is the best place to start with the picture stone?"
Jiulong knew what Mr. Wang meant, and asked him this question directly, but he had been puzzled for a long time and could not find an answer.
Mr. Wang was relieved to see that Jiulong finally talked about the topic, and he patiently answered: "The performance feature of the picture stone is that the pattern color is flat and unfolded, and the range of subjects is much broader than that of the modeling stone to obtain the aesthetic effect by three-dimensional space changes.
Therefore, theoretically, the picture stone can express all the patterns of graphic art.
"Because the range of plane graphics covered by the picture stone is too wide, in order to distinguish the grade of the picture stone, and to find the most artistic appeal of the strange stone, it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the picture stone, rather than just from the texture and color of the stone, find out one or two patterns that can be recognized by women and children.
"People appreciate the strange stones in the picture, basically based on their own knowledge structure and life accumulation, and the difference in people's cultural and artistic accumulation leads to the difference in the understanding of the strange stone in the picture.
Therefore, when people of different literacy levels appreciate the same strange stone, they get very different feelings.
"The aesthetic of Chinese historical heritage is neither a superficial curiosity, nor is it different from the aesthetics of the West, but focuses on a character, and regards character as the highest aesthetic standard.
For example, Cai Jing, who had a high attainment in calligraphy art in the Song Dynasty, was replaced by Cai Xiang because of his low character.
Another example: China's love for plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, lotus, narcissus, pine, and cypress is more beautiful than roses, peonies, peonies, and other beautiful plants, which is also due to the symbolic meaning of character.
"The ancients loved jade, which was to associate the whiteness, warmth, and fidelity of jade with personality, and pay attention to style.
Therefore, for the appreciation of the picture stone, the style of the picture and the style of the theme should be in the first place in the elements of stone appreciation, which requires great attention, followed by the visual beauty of form. ”
Kowloon nodded while listening, at first thinking that as long as the picture stone that can express the theme is a good picture, now it seems that the style is the first place, and it is reasonable.
"Mr. Wang, do you have any specific secrets for appreciating picture stones? ”
Although Jiulong knew that it was abrupt, after all, it was the first time they met, but he had a strong desire to gain more knowledge, so he didn't care whether the teacher agreed or not, and took the liberty of proposing it.
"Young man, you like to play with stones, I'm very happy, this business needs a successor, and I don't have any secrets, just exchange my years of experience in playing with stones. ”
Mr. Wang summed up his experience into six tricks and handed it over to Kowloon.
The first trick: natural and genuine fun.
The second trick: the overall look and feel.
The third trick: composition layout.
The fourth trick: proportional relationship.
The fifth trick: interfere with the judgment.
The sixth trick: Qi pulse flow rhyme.
Mr. Wang introduced in detail the matters that need to be paid attention to in each move, and Jiulong nodded frequently and memorized it by heart.
In addition to thanking, Kowloon didn't know what to say, he thought that since Mr. Wang was a local celebrity, he didn't know if he was optimistic about the prospects of Yangtze River Stone.
Mr. Wang pondered for a moment, did not answer him directly, he told a story with Jiulong, saying that a brother of his Liuzhou, named Zhang Wei, this person is very famous in the stone world, and he has a very good set of business, and he has been collecting Yangtze River stone here some time ago, and several cars and cars are pulled back, asking Jiulong to judge what the future of Yangtze River stone is.
Mr. Wang said everything about this, Jiulong naturally knew what he meant, Mr. Wang himself was not simple, the person he said in his mouth must also be a big fish, and he must visit if he has the opportunity.
Subsequently, Jiulong and Mr. Wang exchanged business cards, this time the harvest was very fruitful, Jiulong was in a good mood, and saw that it was getting late, so he got up to say goodbye.
Xiao Yu'er had been accompanying her just now, looking at Jiulong, always smirking there, and now seeing that Jiulong was leaving, she sent it out: "How about it, Jiulong, I didn't lie to you, you have earned it today, you have gained so much experience, next time you come to your house, don't say you don't know me." ”
Jiulong smiled: "Thank you Xiao Yu'er, next time I go to Gutian, I will definitely entertain you with 'Red Army Coke'." ”
"The Reds still have Coke?
Xiao Yu'er asked puzzled.
"It's Hakka rice wine, which is sweeter, and the Red Army often drank it when they came to Gutian, so it was called 'Red Army Coke'. ”
Kowloon explained.
"Okay, see you or leave, I'll definitely come, it's not early now, I'll invite you to have a light meal." ”
Xiao Yu'er said very sincerely.
Jiulong glanced at Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao deliberately turned his head away, Jiulong comprehended, and hurriedly refused: "I've troubled you all the way, thank you, just help me find a place to rest." ”
Xiao Yu'er was not reluctant, took them to Yibin Hotel to settle down, and left first.
When he arrived at the hotel room, Xiao Qiao's whole body was paralyzed, leaning on the head of the bed, not wanting to move anything.
After all, the cold has only improved slightly, and after following Jiulong for a day, I was shocked and frightened, how could I not be tired.
Jiulong went over and hugged Xiao Qiao, asked her to lean her head on herself, and stroked Xiao Qiao's long hair: "Xiao Qiao, this time it's good to have you, all the knots in my heart have been unraveled, let's not rush back tomorrow, let's have a good time, okay?"
Jiulong felt that he had been running up and down for the past few days, and there were only stones in his eyes, which had left Xiao Qiao out in the cold, and he should find a place to relax with Xiao Qiao completely.
"Okay, listen to you, have a good rest tonight, and have the spirit tomorrow. ”
Xiao Qiao's originally ruddy face turned slightly pale, and he replied softly.
Kowloon found out that there was a place that was very interesting at the hotel, so he took a car to it early the next morning.
