Chapter 1078: Unique
Hearing Zhang Tianyuan's question, the appraiser sneered disdainfully, not aimed at Zhang Tianyuan, but sarcastically at the so-called master.
They did meet once, about ten years after their breakup, when Dora met Picasso at a friend's house in the south of France in July and August. Picasso was at a friend's dinner table and cried out about the pain of not having a woman. At the same time, he enthusiastically dragged Dora to a corner of the hall, but returned to the dining table alone, urging his friends to go with him. Dora stood alone in the corner of the hall, like Ariadne abandoned on a desert island. Dora was humiliated and went into hiding, becoming a 'recluse'. In fact, she was almost burned to ashes by Picasso's love, and she spent half a century of lost soul, and gradually forgotten by the world. ”
"It's a bit too much, alas, this woman is really infatuated and pitiful enough. I understand what you mean now, indeed, Dora's expression on this painting is so serene, so happy, and it can only be painted at the time you said, it seems that this appreciation of art, without understanding the painter itself is really not good. Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but admire this appraiser a little now, and put away his previous contempt.
"Alas. Paloma Picasso sighed at this time and said: "There are some things that my father also learned later, and my father gave Dora what he thought was a better creation to keep during his lifetime. Perhaps, in order to create a complete love story, Dora kept every word of my father's paper, the scruffy on the matchbox, and the graffiti on the napper. Her home became a miniature Picasso museum. She had commissioned a priest to manage the museum. Unfortunately, the priest died before Dora, and no one knows exactly the exact date of Dora's death. A few friends didn't see Dora for days. After searching, I realized that she had left the world. Dora became a footnote to Picasso's life through and through. ”
"Don't blame me for being too talkative, Mr. Picasso. Didn't your father go to this poor lady before he died? "Zhang Tianyuan as a man. It's a little bit worthless for Dora.
"Alas, don't mention the past, in fact, I don't know very well, my father is like a combination of the devil and the angel, he is sometimes very gentle, very Yangon, sometimes very vicious, like the devil roaring!" Although Paloma Picasso also knew that his father did a lot of not very good things, it was his father after all. She really didn't want others to criticize her father.
"Forget it, don't mention it, Xiao Zhang, don't you have other paintings, take them out for everyone to see, how can you enjoy just three photos." Wang Siyuan and his father mentioned Paloma Picasso at this time to play a round and relieve the embarrassment in the room.
"Well, that's right, Mr. Appraiser. Have you confirmed that you have finished reading this painting?" Zhang Tianyuan looked at the appraiser and asked, the key is still in this person, the rest of the people did not bring the appraiser, and they are probably waiting for the results of this appraiser.
"I've read it. Please take a few more. The appraiser was silent, but the excitement in his eyes did not escape Zhang Tianyuan's eyes. Zhang Tianyuan knew that this matter was safe. Although this appraiser has been forcibly suppressing his feelings, he does not want to show an excited expression. But it can't be completely concealed.
Don't forget Zhang Tianyuan's character appreciation skills, once the ability to check micro is displayed, any subtle change in the other party's expression will be seen by him.
And from what the appraiser just said, I can vaguely hear some interesting information, at least it can be proved that the appraiser has recognized that the painting is Dora, and the painting is Picasso, otherwise, he would not say the exact time when the painting was drawn.
"Hopefully these paintings won't disappoint me next. "The appraiser is still calm, because he also knows that there is a special kind of scam in the antique world, that is, the real and the fake are mixed together, and you see the real thing, and then the rest is fake.
It's like the stacks of fake money in the movie that are prepared to cheat each other, the top and bottom are real, and the middle is full of newspapers.
So the appraiser felt that he had to look more closely, because it was much more difficult to identify a work of art than a bad newspaper.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." ”
He put away the three paintings on the table, and then took out three more paintings, one of which was handed to the appraiser, and the other three were handed to the people next to him.
This time, the appraiser took the painting in Zhang Tianyuan's hand very carefully, completely devoid of the previous disdain and rudeness.
Even Helis on the side did not say a word, but stared intently at the painting, although his appraisal ability is not as strong as that of an appraiser, but he still has a certain ability to appreciate it, otherwise, he would not have come to collect such a painting.
The paintings that Zhang Tianyuan took out this time were still the same as the last time, each of them was a different category, but this time what the appraiser saw was not a figure painting, but a painting that looked weird.
It's Picasso's nightmare.
This painting is combined with a lot of strange things to form a pattern, those geometric patterns, cleverly matched together, giving people a feeling of tension, rapidity, heartbeat, whether you can understand the painting or not, as long as you stare at the pattern for a long time, you will feel the whole person will be nervous, and even a little irritable.
It's astounding that the painting is magical.
"My God, this is simply the work of the devil, I didn't expect Picasso's level to have reached this level, it's really terrible. Quick, are there any similar paintings, show them all out for me to see!" the appraiser was anxious, and he finally couldn't hold back his excitement.
"Wait, Your Excellency has already seen six paintings, right? I haven't come to a conclusion until now, do you really regard today's party as a free visit?" This time, Zhang Tianyuan did not take out any more paintings, but instead put away all the paintings on the table and carefully put them into the painting bag.
Over there, Helis's eyes were staring at the painting bag, as if he was eager to snatch the painting bag over, Zhang Tianyuan also saw his expression, but he didn't pay attention to it, but looked at this appraiser.
Because he needs a result.
This appraiser has long forgotten what his mission is, and the original plan he and Helis made was to refer to the deer as a horse, and deliberately said that the real thing was fake, and there were no other appraisers present anyway, or even if there were, the level of these appraisers may not be as high as his.
But as soon as he saw these paintings, he completely forgot about what he had agreed on.
He has seen a lot of Picasso's sketches, and although they are also good, sketches are just sketches after all, and they cannot be compared with oil paintings.
And the six paintings that Zhang Tianyuan took out this time were all oil paintings, without a single sketch, which was really shocking, it stands to reason that this is impossible, but the fact is that this person did come up with six paintings that even he couldn't help but applaud.
Originally, he planned to continue looking at them, and even if he couldn't afford to buy them, if he could see them all, he would be satisfied.
In particular, the painting that seems to have a magical power, which has never been seen in Picasso's paintings before.
Picasso has a painting called "Dream", which is the perfect embodiment of Picasso's love, and of course it can be said to be the most extreme expression of hypocrisy.
In 1927, the 47-year-old Picasso first met a 17-year-old girl with blond hair and a plump body, who has been a model for Picasso's paintings and engravings ever since. Another 17 years later, the 64-year-old Picasso wrote to her on her birthday: "For me, today is your 17th birthday, although you have lived twice as many years." In this world, meeting you is the beginning of my life. ”
The painting "Dream", painted in 1932, is arguably the most perfect expression of Picasso's love for the spirit and the body. It was completed in the same year as "The Girl in Front of the Mirror", and the two are similar in terms of plane decomposition characteristics. But "Dream" is much more concise, only using lines and outlines to outline the female body, and placed in front of a red background, the woman's limbs are not greatly analyzed and slightly exaggerated, and the colors are extremely simple. The two paintings are the product of the combination of Picasso's Cubist depiction of the female image and the neoclassical style, and are the masterpieces of the extreme freedom of the image - the free combination of lines and colors. His unique expressive approach gives the viewer more room for imagination and freedom of thinking.
On March 27, 2013, Picasso's paintings sold for a new high. Steven Cohen, an American hedge fund manager, recently bought Picasso's famous painting "Dream" from Las Vegas casino tycoon Steve Wynn at a sky-high price of 155 million US dollars, or about 963 million yuan.
Of course, it is undeniable that this painting is really valuable and very good, but this "Dream" still does not depart from the beauty of the surface, and it is not in the same category as the painting taken out by Zhang Tianyuan.
Unique!
Shocking!
The appraiser evaluated the painting in his own heart, and he believed that such a painting would definitely make Picasso's paintings create a higher historical value.
Where did this Chinese get such a painting, it's really jealous!
He glanced at Zhang Tianyuan, and then said, "You wait a minute." ”
After speaking, he went over and muttered to Helis in the corner for a long time, and it can be seen that in the course of the conversation, Helis changed from anger at the beginning to shock at the end, and then to excitement at the end, and his expression changed very wonderfully, which was undoubtedly to hear the appraiser's description and evaluation of the painting.
It's a unique thing in the world, and it's a must-have!(To be continued......)
