Han Xuan is a self-aware person, and he is not embarrassed to sing after all.

It's already meal time, and after eating in the morning, I've been sitting in the car, no exercise digestion, and I'm not very hungry.

After asking Anya, I heard her say that she didn't want to eat either, so I went directly to the Whitney Museum of Art on the Upper East Side, which is not far away.

The Upper East Side of Manhattan stretches from 59th Street in New York to the south, 96th Street to the north, Fifth Avenue to the west, and East River to the east.

Compared with the Upper West Side, where Han Xuan lives, it is strategically located and more luxurious, and it is the most wealthy area in New York.

The air is filled with the smell of money, and there is a charm tempered by capital and time, and it is old and sophisticated.

Famous museums and some of the world's top specialty stores are yours to find some of the best private and public schools in the United States.

If you see a child who has just started kindergarten, a convoy of several Rolls-Royces will be taken to school, and there are several bodyguards who are close to him, and he is only allowed to drink the water he brought and eat the food he brought.

Don't be surprised.

This is the Upper East Side.

A four-bedroom or larger co-op (co-op where the owner is not buying the condominium, they actually own a stake in the building and have a long-term right to use the "company") is $2 million.

Some of the top Co-ops councils require a net worth of $10 million to $20 million, or even $50 million.

Many celebrity tycoons with assets of tens of millions of dollars have a bad record and cannot buy apartments in these places.

220 South Central Park, which Donald Trump is planning to develop, was built according to this rule.

The record-breaking proof of net worth was raised to $100 million, and people with a criminal record came to buy a house and were directly turned away.

Even under such harsh conditions, more than 30 units have been sold, and customers include Middle Eastern oil tycoons, African miners, shipping tycoons, and directors of some listed companies.

Michael Bloomberg of Bloomberg, Larry Ellison of Oracle Software Corporation, and Mukesh Ambani, the new chairman of India's Integrity Industries Group, will all be residents here.

These people become neighbors to each other, which is a great help to the business and the growth of the next generation.

Han Xuan asked Donald to help him keep a villa near Central Park there, No. 220 is relatively close to No. 200, and after the Spiral Building is built, it will be too troublesome to go back to the house on the Upper West Side from Zhongcheng District......

As the car pulls into the parking lot, the destination arrives.

It happened to be a holiday, and there was a long queue outside the Whitney Museum of Art.

Paul Cézanne, the creator of this exhibition, is a representative of late Impressionism and has been admired as the "father of Art Nouveau" since the end of the 19th century.

As a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters call him the "father of modern art", "the father of modeling", "the father of modern painting" and other famous all over the world.

This rare exhibition of fine paintings attracted oil painting lovers from all over the United States, including some famous oil painting masters.

Anya has been exposed to painting since she was a child, and in her life before she met Han Xuan, painting was the thing she was most familiar with.

Now when she came to the door of the art museum, it was as if she had arrived at home, with a smile on her face, she looked extremely excited, and pulled Han Xuan to buy a ticket.

The winter wind hurts on the face.

The cold air from the north to the south was strong, and it did not weaken at all because of New York's proximity to the Atlantic.

Han Xuan was afraid that others would recognize him, so he put on his hat and mask, and when he saw the gloomy sky overhead, he felt that maybe there was no need for snow bombs, and it might snow today.

Noticing that Anya was walking, she suddenly circled around, walked into the crowd with herself, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"It's Mr. Balthus! I just seemed to see him. Anya stood on tiptoe and looked through the crowd.

Han Xuan had never heard of this person's name, so he asked her curiously: "Who is Balthus?"

"There is something you don't know, Picasso praised Balthus as the greatest painter of the twentieth century.

As early as 1956, the New York Museum of Art helped him hold an exhibition of his paintings, and he is a true master of figurative painting.

My former oil painting teacher liked his work very much, and he was still here just now, why can't he see it?"

Anya looked for someone while introducing, whispered sorry, and squeezed through the crowd and walked forward.

"Wait. ”

Han Xuan asked Anya to stop, pointed to a bald eagle-hooked old man who was talking to the people around him, and asked, "Is it him?"

"That's right!

Hey, didn't you say you didn't know Balthus?"

"To be praised by Picasso, it must be very famous, and I think the people around me respect this gentleman very much, and they guess randomly. ”

After explaining, he pulled Anya and walked towards him.

Beside Balthus, there was a woman with a Japanese accent, this old man was already seventy or eighty, and the woman was just forty or fifty years old.

Anya shouted fiercely just now, but now standing in front of Balthus, but she didn't dare to speak, Han Xuan saw that she was thin-skinned, and said with a smile: "Hello, sir, my friend is your fan." ”

The old man looked at Anya in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "It's so beautiful, can you be my model?"

I can draw a picture for you, and I'll give it to you as payment. ”

Han Xuan was stunned, he thought that Anya would agree, but he didn't expect her to take a step back, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no!"

I just wanted you to sign it for me and give it to my teacher, Ms. Da-Nyi-Yablonskaya. ”

"I remember she's Ukrainian, and she's been to the United States?"

A fat old man with braided hair who looked like he was doing art next to him asked.

Yablonskaya is quite famous in the oil painting circles of the former Soviet Union, and is known as the most famous Ukrainian female painter of the 20th century.

She is Russian and has been living in Ukraine since the thirties, which is why this person is so surprised to hear Anya say that she is a student of Yablonskaya.

Anya explains: "She came to New York in '92 and lived near my house.

She taught me my first oil painting, and I've always looked up to her as my teacher ever since. ”

"Yablonskaya's paintings are amazing, there is a strong personality in them, I have met her once at exchange meetings, for more than 20 years

So, don't you really want to be my model?

I can pay you. Balthus asked again.

Someone thought of the rumored news from Anya's purple eyes and asked, "You're Cecilia's daughter, right, that little painter with purple eyes?"

"She's my mother, yes.

Mr. Balthus, I really don't need it, I'm ...... I'm going home and doing my homework, so I don't have time, huh. ”

"Well, that's a pity.

If you agree to be a model, I'll be able to paint the best!"

Han Xuan swore that this was the worst reason he had ever heard in his two lives, and there was no one, and his eyes looked strangely at Anya, who was blushing with a small face.

These painters, talking about the names of oil paintings that they didn't understand at all, couldn't interject at all, and Han Xuan suddenly felt stupid.

Wearing a mask, others can't recognize him, he loses his identity aura, and immediately becomes a passerby who is not taken seriously, slightly speechless.

The director of the Whitney Museum of Art was also here, and he had come to greet Balthus.

After saying goodbye to these people and leaving, Han Xuan asked, "Why don't you promise him? A painting is worth millions of dollars, right?"

“…… In Mr. Balthus's paintings when he was young, many of the girls were undressed.

I don't want to paint that, he's been painting a lot better in recent years, but it's still exposed. ”

"I'll go! Nima's old pervert!"

Han Xuan learned that Balthus wanted Anya to be a naked model, so he immediately jumped to his feet and exploded his hair, bursting out with foul language.

There was a Chinese person around, who looked at him with a surprised eye, with a Cantonese accent, and reprimanded: "Be civilized abroad, don't swear indiscriminately!"

Han Xuan was stunned, but he didn't expect to meet a tourist who could speak Chinese, and immediately bowed down: "Hi!si-mi-ma-sen!"

"Ah~

The Japanese!

Chinese That's a good point......" (To be continued.) )
