"Haha, I'll tell you later. Master Yuanbo sold a pass, and no longer looked at the inscription, but at the painting itself.

Although Zhang Tianyuan was in a hurry, he could only wait for the result at this time, and he couldn't urge Master Yuanbo, which was extremely impolite.

I don't know when, Zhang Rusheng and Zhang Qian have returned, but neither of them spoke, but quietly walked behind Master Yuanbo and also looked at the painting on the table.

When he saw this painting, Zhang Rusheng said "Huh", looking very surprised, no wonder, he thought that since the painting brought by Zhang Tianyuan was Chen Hongshou's, it would probably be a high-imitation work, but now it looks like Chen Hongshou's real handiwork, whether it is from the painting itself or from the calligraphy.

Master Yuanbo looked at it for a while, then looked at Zhang Rusheng and Zhang Qian with a smile and asked, "You two come to see, is this thing real or fake?"

You must know that as disciples of Master Yuanbo, Zhang Rusheng and Zhang Qian have both studied Chen Hongshou's works, after all, Master Yuanbo himself likes it very much, so it is not difficult to ask them this question.

When Zhang Qian leaned over to look, the two white blobs on her chest were exposed, absolutely round and smooth, very plump, which made Zhang Tianyuan a little embarrassed, and directly aimed his eyes elsewhere.

The composition of this work is simple, the image is prominent, and the tone of relaxation and silence is fascinating. The concise outline of ancient trees and wild flowers, stubborn rocks, and winding paths through guò, and the random laying of large blank spaces create a desolate and desolate artistic conception of the ancient road in the deep mountains, which effectively renders the environment of Qu Yuan's exile and loneliness, and plays the role of setting up the environment with romance.

However, the painter still focuses on the shaping of the human figure. Qu Yuan frowned and keyholed. The face is haggard, and the beard hangs down. Hold your head high and look at the face. It makes the characters melancholy and bitter, but never changes the strong will and ambition of conformity.

While taking into account the facial expressions, the painter mainly starts from the whole to show the character of the characters, such as outlining the folds of the clothes with strong and flying lines, exaggerating the wonder of the clothes, and adding a long moment of swinging at the waist to enhance the atmosphere of Qu Yuan's drifting distance. It makes Qu Yuan's solemn, steady, and proud demeanor and lofty demeanor leap into the picture, and achieve the artistic effect of looking like it and getting its charm.

"Grandpa Yuanbo, I think this is a genuine handiwork, not only does it have Chen Laolian's signature on it, but also from the style of the painting and the exquisite Cheng dù that it is transformed, it should be genuine......"

Zhang Qian was the first to come to a conclusion, and Master Yuanbo only smiled slightly. Neither affirmed nor denied, but looked at Zhang Rusheng.

Zhang Rusheng took longer than Zhang Qian, and his brows were always frowning. After a long time, he said: "Looking at Chen Hongshou's achievements in figure painting, he has changed from 'god' to 'transformation' in his prime. In his later years, he became more and more perfect. The shape is grotesque and deformed. The lines are clear and round, and they are sparse and scattered, and they are constantly refined in the 'transformation' environment. Until modern times. Chen Hongshou's works were also highly respected by Lu Xun. Lu Xun began to collect Chen Hongshou's works as early as his prime, and in his later years, he was ready to introduce his prints. ”

He used a variety of painting techniques to adapt to different themes, such as using folding pens or rough thirst brushes to show heroes, thin and round brushes to show scribes and beauties, and gossamer to draw Xiàn Gaogu, which has become a rich treasure trove of traditional figure painting methods in China. ”

"Dad, how powerful Chen Hongshou is, we all know it, I also saw the wonders of this painting, so I said that he is genuine, Dad, do you think this is a fake?" Zhang Qian was anxious when she heard it, and couldn't help but say.

Zhang Rusheng shook his head and said: "To identify whether a painting is real or fake, you must first understand the painter himself, as well as the original intention of the painting, as well as the time background! Don't worry, wait until I finish speaking." ”

"Qu Zi's Singing Picture" is a masterpiece of Chen Hongchuan's printmaking. This classical painting has always been appreciated by the world because it brilliantly summarizes the spiritual appearance and character characteristics of Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet during the Warring States period. Critics agree that in the more than two centuries since the Qing Dynasty, no painter has ever created a work higher than this one. Therefore, it is a treasure worthy of the crown in Qu Yuan's portrait. Confucius is right, the more precious things are, the more sloppy they must not be when appraising the place, let him finish his words. Master Yuanbo also smiled.

Zhang Rusheng nodded and continued: "When Chen Hongshou wrote "Qu Zixing Yintu", he was nineteen years old, and it was the time when the Ming Dynasty was in crisis, the national disaster was at the head, and the social changes were extremely intense. Chen Hongshou, who has loved painting since childhood and has good painting skills, is living in Shaozhou, Zhejiang, Zhejiang, at this time, and studied under Zhou Zongzhou, a famous progressive scholar in eastern Zhejiang, so that he has been influenced by patriotic thoughts and has increased his ability to gain insight into the ills of the government and the filth of society. ”

In the winter when he was nineteen years old, he and his classmates studied Qu Yuan's famous novel "Lisao" and were deeply moved by the patriotic poet Qu Yuan's high moral character and the ideological content of his works. With his feelings, he painted with a stroke of his pen and created 11 woodcut illustrations of "Nine Songs", as well as this one-page print "Qu Zixingyintu" with Qu Yuan's image as the main body, expressing his depressed feelings for the world's turmoil and people's grievances, as well as his sincere love for the country and the people. ”

"I also know this, so when appreciating, I also deliberately appreciated the mood of the painter behind this painting through the brushstroke, and found that it was the same as what you said to Dad, which reflected the sincerity of patriotism and concern for the people. Zhang Qian didn't seem to taste right when she heard her father's words, so she hurriedly said.

"Qianqian, you're not at home yet, do you know? The one known as the King of Concealment is called if the imitation of porcelain, I guess I can't tell the truth or falsehood, but if he imitates calligraphy and painting, then I can see the truth at a glance, because whether it is a word or a painting, a little mood fluctuation or incompatibility, there will be a big difference, you just said right, this painting does reflect the mind of worrying about the country and the people, but it gives people a feeling of some deviation, as if the era in which this person lives is a peaceful era, although he tries his best to create an atmosphere of worrying about the country and the people, but still inadvertently reveals the satisfaction and comfort of life。 Zhang Rusheng said with a smile.

These words not only made Zhang Qian stunned. Even Zhang Tianyuan was surprised, he could see so many things from a painting. His ability to appreciate treasures really can't be compared with Zhang Rusheng. Not to mention Master Yuanbo.

Shame, shame!

"In addition, you probably all know that this "Qu Zi Xing Yin Tu" is Chen Hongshou's early work, as a young man, to create such an artistic image of a great historical figure on a very limited picture, if the skill is not deep, it is easy to caricature. However, under Chen Hongshou. Qu Yuan's image is portrayed so charming, and his charm is endless, which is indeed commendable. As soon as Zhang Rusheng talked about his profession, the whole person became radiant: "However, the characteristics of this painting are too old and spicy, and the imitator obviously lacks the spirit of Chen Hongshou when he was young, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. ”

"This can be seen!" Zhang Tianyuan was completely dumbfounded this time. I still think how superb my imitation is, I saw a real expert today, and I was actually seen through at a glance, not to mention that it was Master Yuanbo. Even this Confucian was already ashamed of him.

"These are things that require experience and skills, and Qianqian can't do it. Most appraisers can't do it either, so personally. This should be regarded as a very outstanding high-quality imitation work, even if it is taken out for public auction. That's definitely going to fetch a high price. Zhang Rusheng said with a smile.

"That's right, this work adopts the white drawing technique based on line sketching in the technique, the gesture is old and clean, clear and beautiful, the outline is concise and smooth, and the combination of rigidity and softness, especially the lines of the clothes have the flavor of gold and stone, 'the forest is like folding iron lines', ancient and rough. This method of painting not only makes the figures more vivid and vivid, but also makes the painting very decorative formal beauty, which reveals the young Chen Hongshou's talent for painting with variety and variety, cutting complexity and simplification, as well as a clumsy and grotesque painting style. It is precisely this person who imitates this point vividly, and I have to marvel at who can do this, which is really amazing and terrifying. Master Yuanbo finally said his opinion, and he could hear that he also thought that this thing was an imitation.

"Zhang Geng, a Qing dynasty man, said in the "Records of the Paintings of the National Dynasty": "Hong Shou paints figures, the torso is majestic, the clothes are round and fine, and there are both Gonglin and Ziang. Set color to learn Wu Shengfa, its strength and qi, super uplifting, in Qiu (Ying), Tang (Yin) above, cover three hundred years without this pen and ink. Judging from "Qu Zixing's Yintu", this judgment is appropriate. And to my surprise, if you only talk about brushwork and painting skills, this copyist has also done this, which is really amazing, but in terms of connotation, there is a slight difference, which may have something to do with the era in which this person lived, and it should be an imitation of modern people. Zhang Rusheng thought for a while.

"With Mr. Zhang's thoughts, can this Chen Hongshou's work really be compared with Tang Yin?" Most people mention Tang Bohu, and they know that his paintings are very valuable, and this Chen Hongshou's works can surpass Tang Yin, and they must be very valuable, so Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"A work of art cannot be measured by money, of course, if I have to say, the key is that Chen Hongshou's "Qu Zi Xingyin Tu" did not leave a real trace of paper, otherwise the price should not be low. Zhang Rusheng pondered and said.

"Dad, I heard that a few years ago, someone bought a painting of "Qu Zixing's Yin" at the Guardian Autumn Auction for more than 3 million yuan, isn't that Chen Laolian's work?" Zhang Qian asked with some confusion.

"That is Fu Baoshi's work, and there is an inscription by Pan Shou on it-

Duanyang wrote Qu Yuan at the age of years, and the rivers and mountains were swallowed like the moon and half toads;

I can say that the painter wants to use the soul of the country to raise the soul of the country. ”

"That's also a masterpiece, but compared to Chen Hongshou's, it shouldn't be as hot as it gets. Zhang Rusheng smiled and said.

"Young man, have you heard what Confucius said? This work should be said to be a masterpiece, purely in terms of imitation, it is definitely one of the best in history, but if you want to sell it as a fake in the name of Chen Hongshou, you can also sell it, but it is a loss of conscience. Master Yuanbo finally sighed and said: "Don't be discouraged, young man, this thing can be kept, if you really have the opportunity to see Chen Hongshou's authentic handiwork in the future, you can compare it well, so that you can improve your ability to identify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting works."
