Although Helis didn't take Zhang Tianyuan seriously, he had to take the words of the British pro-friend and Sir Tommaru to heart, these two are not only people with status, but also people with great economic strength, and his brotherhood wants to develop, and it is absolutely inseparable from the support of these two.

Because of this, although Helis was very unhappy in his heart, he still had to show his generosity and intention to reconcile on the surface, otherwise he would really not be able to stay here today.

"I'm sorry boy, you know, I'm going to have to work hard for tomorrow's auction, so I'm not in a good mood right now, I'm in some trouble at the auction, I'm in a hurry and irritable right now, I want you to forgive me for my actions and words, young man from a foreign country. You can rest assured that as long as these paintings are genuine, then my appraiser will be able to make a fair judgment on them, and of course, I will buy them on the best terms you can......"

Although Helis said this very hypocritical and contrived, it can also be seen that he is unwilling to continue arguing, so it's okay, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't have the heart to quarrel with him endlessly, Helis has business, he also has business, and not everyone is idle and has nothing to do.

He just smiled faintly and said, "All right, Sir Ellis, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly, the painting is now in the hands of your appraiser, let him have a good appraisal, your time is precious, and the time of all of you here is also precious......"

The corners of Helis's mouth twitched, he glanced at his appraiser and said, "Old man, let's get started." Show the little one what you're up to. ”

"Don't worry, Lord Sir Hollis, it's really not fake. It's not real, I'll help you identify a result. The appraiser finished speaking and began to work. Basically, when you evaluate a painting, you start with a rough identification, such as a magnifying glass to look closely, including the paper used in the drawing, as well as the tone, ingredients, and level of the painting.

If these are not certain, you can even use some special tools, such as high-tech tools such as infrared testers, which is not an easy task to fake a picture in this day and age.

"Brother Zhang. What is that man doing without looking at the paintings?"

Noticing that the appraiser had only taken a cursory look at the painting, which had taken less than two seconds, he stopped looking at the paper from the side, and touched it lightly with his hand, so he lowered his voice a little strangely.

"Hehe, that's right, when he first looked at it, he looked at the layout and level of the whole picture. If the level of this painting is far from Picasso's painting, then you don't need to look at anything else, you can directly conclude that it is fake. ”

"Oh, I see. In other words, the level of the painting is very high, and he did not judge the authenticity of the painting at first glance?"

"Not bad. Then he went to look at the paper. You know, a painting. Look at the hardness and flexibility of the paper, as well as the construction and material. It is also a very important procedure for identifying calligraphy and paintings. If a painting is obviously painted by the Qing Dynasty, but the material of the paper is only made in modern times, then it means that there is something wrong with the painting, and this is also a method. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"Oh, I see. Snake Lin suddenly realized.

"Huh, he frowned, is the paper wrong?" Because Zhang Tianyuan had asked Serlin to keep staring at this appraiser before, he really kept staring, so that this appraiser just frowned, and he saw it clearly in his eyes.

"No, I think the look on his face is because he didn't judge anything from that. Because I have also seen the paper used for this painting, the era is similar to that of Picasso and his mistress Dora, that is to say, from this point it can be seen that this painting is not at least a modern imitation. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"Hehe, I can't see the truth from these two aspects, so it's difficult to identify the place. But was paper expensive at that time? If it was an imitation at that time, it wouldn't be worth much?" Even if Seren Lin didn't understand Western painting, he could see that sweat was oozing from the appraiser's forehead.

"Well, it's not worth much, it's not worth a fake. Historically, the paper used for painting at that time should not be much more expensive, because as we all know, Van Gogh, Monet and other impressionist painters overlapped with the era in which Picasso lived, they were very poor, and they could afford paper, which shows that paper at that time was really not as expensive as we imagined. And Picasso painted so many that his fakes were even less valuable than those of other painters. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"I see, but why does this appraiser look so nervous, strange, if the painting is real, shouldn't he be happier?"

"Happy? No, no, no, there is no doubt that the appraiser is very conflicted at this time. On the one hand, he hopes that the paintings are real, which is the hope of every appraiser, and on the other hand, he hopes that these are forgeries, because he can slap me in the face, and I have just had a verbal argument with Helis, which also includes him, how can he be willing to give up?"

"This man may be really tired. ”

"Yes, it's really tiring, but some people are so careful that they can exhaust themselves to death and make trouble for themselves. Zhang Tianyuan shrugged his shoulders and said.

At this time, the rest of the high rollers are also admiring the other two paintings, although the content of the paintings is not the same, but the time point is similar, the paper is also similar, and the level is very close, so it is not easy to judge the authenticity of these paintings from the level and the drawing paper.

Unlike Helis and his appraisers, they really wanted the paintings to be real, so that they could all get a piece of the pie, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fight Helis if there were only two or three.

As a person who likes to draw, although I may not be able to judge the authenticity of a painting accurately, I have a magical feeling, which you can call a sixth sense.

This feeling is often unreasonable. But they can't go wrong, and now they think that the three paintings on this table are real. It's just that it's not done yet, so you can't get too excited.

The painting itself is actually nameless. Picasso did not name the painting, but it can be seen in the message on the back that the woman in the figure painting is Picasso's mistress Dora, and it can be analyzed from the situation in the painting that the relationship between Picasso and Dora should be very good at this time, because the people in the painting are very beautiful and serene.

"Dora Mardo, a tragic woman, is also the history of Picasso's master black!"

Suddenly. The appraiser spoke, but these words attracted everyone to the past, the so-called black history, in its current popular words, is black history.

Because this history is very disgraceful, and the tragic fate of Dora, a woman, began after meeting Picasso.

Hearing this, Paloma Picasso's brow furrowed slightly, and then he sighed. Although she wanted to maintain her father's image, she also had to admit that what the appraiser said was not wrong, and Dora spent some time with Picasso. Picasso whipped the poor girl like a madman, and in today's parlance it is domestic violence, and it is very brutal domestic violence.

"That's right. The character in this painting is Dora, so you can see it accurately. Zhang Tianyuan noticed that the appraiser did not look at the words on the back of the painting. It's not easy to recognize the person in the painting as Dora.

Why?

Let's not forget what Picasso's painting style is. For example, the "Nude Woman in Makeup", which is also Dora, but it is much uglier than Dora, but who can recognize it, if it weren't for Picasso leaving some information, it is estimated that no one would know that it was Dora.

Dora died in July 1997 in desperation at her Paris apartment. She was a talented photographer and muse of surrealist painters, and she left behind some broken memories for posterity – remembering that she was Picasso's mistress, a woman abandoned by Picasso, who spent long years in crying, melancholy and loneliness.

After her death, Picasso's "Weeping Woman" was auctioned for more than $1 million, and her painting of Picasso sold for $800,000. But she guarded the remnants of more than ten years of living with Picasso, and spent the rest of her years in poverty. Those pieces of love were auctioned for about $200 million.

Picasso's friend said: "Her eyes are as clear and beautiful as the spring sky."

One day in 1933, Picasso was shocked to see Dora at the Café Twin Margot in the Latin Quarter. At the age of fifty-four, he still didn't know what "destiny" was, so he was introduced to Dora by a friend. At this point, Picasso knew only a handful of women, a wife and three concubines, and Maya, the daughter of his mistress Maritesa Wallett. These people swirled around him day and night like a moon of stars.

However, he needed to have a new creative power.

Dora, a young, intelligent, intellectual, elegant and fluent speaker of Spanish, became the object of his conquest. This was the dry period of Picasso's paintings, and he needed new inspiration and new vitality. At the same time, she was completely dominated by Picasso's genius, self-confidence, strong sexual desire and occasional warmth. In the end, Dora involuntarily makes an unconditional dedication and enters into a relationship that ruins her sexuality.

There is a saying: Men and women are not bad, women are not loved.

If a man is not only bad, but also talented and rich, then it is too easy for him to conquer women.

Poor Dora had nothing to do, and was possessed by an old fellow.

However, Picasso did not intend to give Dora any happiness, because his only purpose in meeting Dora was to find inspiration for painting, which he had run out of inspiration and had to try something new.

And Dora gave him the inspiration to make his paintings climb to a very high level, but after such a woman was used by him, he cruelly abandoned it.

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan listened to Liu Mengxun about this history, in fact, it is also recorded in many materials, after all, the time when this incident happened is not long away from modern times, and many materials are well documented, and under normal circumstances, it is unlikely to be fake.

She didn't leave a will, and the love she left behind was broken again piece by piece, piece by piece, by the auctioneer's wooden hammer.

The dead Dora can't care about this. Maybe she really stopped crying, and in her world, that imaginary love did exist. The desperate love affair between the beautiful and gifted surrealist painter Dora Mardo and Picasso. (To be continued......)
