The galleries on the third and fourth floors are dedicated to the exhibition of itinerant artworks separately.

In addition to the art gallery, the Los Angeles Art Museum also has a space for lectures and performances, and there are bookstores, cafes and other leisure facilities near the staircase.

Madame Cecilia's special exhibition is on the third floor, and there are not many of her works, only about 50 in total, which occupies only about one-sixth of the space in the exhibition hall.

Large-scale exhibitions can increase the popularity of their works, which in turn increases the value of their collections, and can use this to establish a good relationship with the painters, and it will be much easier to buy new works in the future.

Sometimes when you encounter a special need, such as wanting your favorite painter to help you create a family portrait and other oil paintings, then the favor can come in handy.

Cecilia's style is typical of neoclassicism, advocating antiquity, rationality and nature, mostly choosing serious historical themes, focusing on shaping and integrity, and the characters are realistic, and color is secondary.

She is also proficient in classical landscape painting, which looks clear and clear, and the artistic conception is extraordinarily serene, revealing the effect of mist and dazzling light and color.

Her style is similar to that of Claude Lorrain, one of the three great French painters of the 17th century, so she is unanimously admired by the Western oil painting community, which is why the price of her works can increase hundredfold in a few years.

Some media once touted her as the most outstanding female oil painter of the late 20th century, and among female painters in their thirties, the highest grades were much worse than her.

Han Xuan watched carefully one by one, and Anya followed behind him.

There were many gallery owners and private buyers nearby, including many painting artists from the San Francisco neighborhood, and the two spoke in a very low voice: "Your mother is still young, otherwise there is a lot more room for appreciation in the works." ”

"If she's old enough to be collectible, I'd rather these paintings aren't worth much. ”

Anya rolled her eyes at the boy, wrinkled her nose and said: "Since last year, she has been reducing her creations, and those she doesn't like would rather burn them than sell them, just ensure that there are enough works circulating in the market, and there will be arrangements for those galleries, I think they will be deposited in a bank or something." ”

"Well, things are scarce to be valuable, speaking of which, I still have a few paintings painted by your mother at home, I don't know if I can sell them now, can I change to a big villa with a pool in New York?"

Anya was immediately annoyed, ignoring the surrounding guests, she slapped him on the back of the head in a huff, and shouted hatefully: "You dare!"

Han Xuan smiled apologetically at the people who came over, and when they saw that it was a child who was noisy, they politely smiled and shook their heads, indicating that they were okay.

"Oh, your portrait, of course I'm not going to sell it. ”

"That's pretty much it. The girl nodded in satisfaction and said arrogantly.

"What are you talking about? If you're hungry, you can go over there and get food, Anya, take care of your friends. ”

Cecilia walked over, her expression looked very happy, she was too busy socializing to care about them, and only now did she remember that she had a daughter, and put her hand on the boy's shoulder: "So have you seen her paintings?"

"Not yet. ”

Han Xuan looked back at the girl: "Where are they?"

"The innermost gallery, there are only a few pictures, the paintings are not very good, don't make fun of me when you see them!" Hooking his finger at Han Xuan, he walked backwards, Anya turned around with a smile, her long hair was drawn in a half-arc in the air, and it was still neat when it was scattered.

"Over here, come here!"

……

Holding the fresh milk pudding in his hand, Han Xuan looked at this group of oil paintings for a long time, holding the spoon in his hand, but forgetting to eat it.

"These Paintings"

Han Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, there were a total of six oil paintings in front of him, and the individual colors and structures of independent oil paintings contained a variety of artistic styles.

The theme of the two creations is the fluorescent coast of Pisces Island, no wonder the girl just said that there was a surprise, and it turned out to be this.

The regret that National Geographic magazine did not publish a selfie has now been filled, and the title of the work in front of me is called "My Friend", but why did he become a brutalist image? Under the light of the fire, I thought it was a werewolf haunt.

Another "Footprints" uses neoclassical and impressionist painting methods, which combine with a unique charm and just the right use of color to form another unique beauty.

The other four use the animals of the pasture as the prototype of the creation, and the names of the works are also their own names, and Han Xuan can see that the shapes are all in the photos he sent her in the past.

Pooh, for example, now sits in a baroque room, with a fat body lying on a sofa, with his legs on his feet, his face arrogant and complacent, his nose exaggerated and enlarged, his small eyes barely visible compared to his round face, and a Marlboro cigarette in his mouth, the smoke spreading through the room.

The Baroque style is not very compatible, and the integration of other styles is quite conspicuous, so this painting is quite normal, Anya has not been in contact with oil painting for a long time, and the sense of picture is a little insufficient, but in the eyes of Han Xuan, a half-appreciator, it looks quite interesting.

Macaw BBQ is completely cartoonized, with a cubist style, the color adopts the unique color combination of yellow and blue macaw, a large number of yellow and blue colors are used to form tiles, black lines and white lines distinguish the border, and countless small fragments form a bird.

The shape is quite abstract, and it is estimated that except for Han Xuan, no one can tell that it is a parrot.

The "big" character lying in the yellowish leaves is the fat ding, to be precise, it should be the word "wood", its thick tail is also there, the composition is blank, the environment is empty and simple, the color is hazy, obviously with Japanese style, the overall contrast is relatively low, and the color is bright.

The picture on the far left depicts Jenny Turtle and McDull, with a worried face on the miniature donkey, standing tremblingly on the back of a snapping turtle, with a bright watermelon red background, similar to the American posters of the sixties and seventies......

When the boy finished reading them, Anya couldn't wait to ask, "How does it look?" My teacher asked me to try out different creative styles and find what I liked and what I liked. But I think it's okay, I don't know what I painted, because I'm used to looking outside, just like I never look at my mother's paintings. ”

"Except for this one"

Han Xuan listened to her quietly, pointed to the Fauvist oil painting he had painted for himself, and said, "I think it's all pretty good, what do those people who participate in the exhibition think? ”

"I'm not with you all the time, how do I know what they think. The girl pouted and complained, but found that Han Xuan seemed to like these paintings, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, seeing more than a dozen white round stickers on the wall, she asked curiously: "What is this for?" ”

"I don't know, maybe I've taken a fancy to these paintings. ”
