Chapter 1253 Fan
In Zhang Tianyuan's view, it is understandable that Fan Liu can't see the situation of this fan, because when the three of them joined forces to paint, perhaps in order to make the style more harmonious, they all used almost the same brushstrokes, plus the level is comparable, and the fan surface that comes out is naturally difficult to distinguish.
In order to raise the price of this fan, the people of later generations removed the seals of the other two, leaving only Qi Baishi's.
Zhang Tianyuan has already worn thin gloves before, this is also to avoid sweat spilling on the fan surface, and the fan surface is polluted, generally speaking, professional appraisers should do this, but there are many people in China who don't like to wear gloves in order to strive for a more real feel, because after wearing gloves, the feeling of touching is very different from that of bare hands.
This is actually a very simple Chinese ink painting of flowers and birds, a few strokes to outline a vivid picture of flowers and birds, clear layers, accurate color, as long as a little bit of painting people, you can find the painter's profound skills at a glance.
Even if you don't understand Chinese painting, just looking at it from the eyes of ordinary people, you will be attracted by the fun of this painting, the birds in the painting seem to be able to jump out of the paper at any time, the vines and the starlings, it seems to be alive.
"Teacher Zhang, don't just look at it, please explain to me, how is this painting, is it genuine, is it the work of Master Shiraishi?"
Zhang Tianyuan is generally more cherished for treasures, so he just looked at it for a while, but this made Mr. Li a little anxious, he originally planned to accompany Zhang Tianyuan here, and wait for Zhang Tianyuan to be appraised and played by others. Identify your own things, but if the time is wasted. Then when it came to him, it would probably be dark that day. That's not going to work.
So he gently touched Zhang Tianyuan and reminded him.
In fact, it's not just him, the fan over there Liu is also waiting for Zhang Tianyuan's comment, and the two people who just came in, and the ones in their hands are also Chinese paintings, although they are not fans, but the truth is the same, they really want to hear what Zhang Tianyuan can say.
Zhang Tianyuan was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Li's urging, looked up at Mr. Li and said coldly, "Why don't you come and take a look?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Teacher Zhang, you continue, you continue. "Mr. Li also knows that he has committed a taboo, when this appraiser is appraising a thing, he doesn't want to be disturbed the most, maybe he is immersed in that artistic atmosphere, you suddenly make such a noise, you may feel that it is all gone, and it is strange if you are not angry.
"What are you going to continue?" Zhang Tianyuan said angrily: "This thing is not the work of Master Baishi. ”
"No, it's impossible, Mr. Zhang, this is obviously the true work of Master Baishi. You don't want to take a closer look. Fan Liu scratched his head anxiously and said.
"I said no, no, do you want to ramble endlessly?"
Although to authenticate something, you generally have to not only tell its authenticity, but also evaluate it. For example, this thing is good there, worth a little, whose work. How about this style blah blah blah.
Zhang Tianyuan only said one sentence, it was not Qi Baishi's work that ended. How could this satisfy Fan Liu.
He was going to say it, but he did. He is this kind of character, the more you push, the more he has a bullish temper.
Fan Liu was in a dilemma at this time, looking at the panicked expression of this goods, Zhang Tianyuan suddenly felt a prank pleasure, and then said lightly: "So I said, when I identify things, don't interject, even if I finish appraising, it's not too late for you to speak." Besides, there are so many people today, and it's not just one or two of you, I waste so much time, what should others do?"
"I hope that Mr. Zhang can comment on one or two, don't say too much, just say a few words, let the contemptible people learn a little from it and be content, what do you think?" Fan Liu is now talking to Zhang Tianyuan is extremely careful, and he doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake, for fear of saying the wrong thing, and then the previous situation, he will slap himself in the face, and finally offend others, that is, he will ask for his own hardship.
"Okay, for the sake of the same industry, I'm just talking nonsense, but the reality you all know, there are so many people waiting outside, I'm unlikely to talk too much, take care more!" Zhang Tianyuan originally wanted to comment a few words, after all, if you want to talk about it, Fan Liu's thing is real, if it is fake, he may not say a word of nonsense.
Zhang Tianyuan turned his attention back to the painting.
"The strong local atmosphere, the simple peasant consciousness and the innocent and romantic childlike innocence, and the poetry with a rich aftertaste are the inner life of this fan, and the warm and bright color, the strong contrast between ink and color, the simple and clumsy modeling and brushwork, the extreme synthesis of work and writing, and the composition of the fair and strange, as the unique artistic language and visual shape of this painting, are relatively the external life of Qi Baishi's art. ”
"The emotions of reality require a form that adapts to them, and this form strengthens the expression of emotion, and the two are mutually demanding, mutually generated, and interdependent, which together constitute the magical overall style of this painting. ”
There is no doubt that if Zhang Tianyuan does not use the ability to check micro, it is definitely not easy to see the subtle differences in the brushwork of the three people, it seems that it is a deliberate prank or joke, or a riddle deliberately left for posterity, this painting is full of childlike naughty artistic conception.
"I don't know if Mr. Liu has ever heard of the names Feng Jiu and Yao Zun?" Zhang Tianyuan suddenly asked.
"I'm ashamed, I haven't heard of it. After all, Fan Liu is good at the identification of bronzes, and it is understandable that he has not heard of Feng Jiu and Yao Zun, and even some people who specialize in calligraphy and painting may not have heard of the names of these two.
"It's okay, Zhai is half a watt Zhai, and the people of nine cities in Hu, Nanheng, and Yangyang County. Guangxu Zhusheng, once taught the National Beiping Art School chair and became famous in Beijing. Poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing are all work. Seal character hunting, subordinate to Zhang Qian, line Kaishi valley, winter heart. Painting flowers and birds, orchid bamboo, feathers, imitating Tianchi, Baiyang, thick branches and leaves, swaying at will, full of interest. Writing Buddha statues late, people compete for treasures. ”
"This person has an arrogant temperament, out of place, calligraphy and painting seal carving is not light, and his painting name is comparable to Baishi. At that time, the Hunan painters who shook the capital mainly included Feng Jiu, Xiao Junxian, and Qi Baishi, who were called 'Feng Xiaoqi' at the time. ”
"You say that he has an arrogant temperament and is not good at making friends, but he is friendly with Qi Baishi, and has painted a picture of flowers and birds with Qi and Yao Zun, Gu Guang painted ancient vines, Baishi painted starlings, Yao Zun painted flowers and birds, and the insiders regarded it as a treasure. I estimate that Mr. Liu's fan is probably a work from the same period. ”
"Qi Baishi also ruled the seal, and the side section was engraved with his own words, 'engraved the invincible hand in the world'. When he lived in Xicheng, he was called the "Three Monsters of Xicheng" with Qi Baishi and Xue'an monks. With Fu Zhu Scoop Nunnery, Yao Zun Hu'an, people are called 'Heng Yang San'an'. ”
Judging from his hand-me-down works, he is among the masters. Because of his premature death and his reluctance to paint, there are very few works that have been handed down, and it is reasonable that his influence is not as good as that of Shiraishi. He died in Shanghai in early 1929. He is the author of "History of Painting" and poetry manuscripts. Hengyang City Museum collects three pieces of its ink plum and flowers. To put it mildly, if this Feng Jiu can live a few more days and have more works handed down, he may not be inferior to Master Baishi. In particular, his paintings are very individual, and there are not many such people these days. ”
"Yao Zun is less famous than Feng Jiu and Qi Baishi, and is mainly engaged in education, but from this point of view, his painting level is not much worse than Qi Baishi and Feng Jiu, and in 1919, he also established the 'Hunan Film Painting Society' with Xiao Qian, Jiang Quanheng, etc., which became famous for a while. Its landscape turquoise is the representative work of the painting society at that time, the painting is inscribed with poems, and the seal is embellished, becoming a literati painting that combines poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal. ”
"I won't introduce Master Baishi, I guess as long as you like to paint, everyone should have heard of the name Qi Baishi. ”
Having said this, there was already silence in the pavilion, Fan Liu and the rest of the people did not dare to interject, and outside the pavilion, there were also people who pricked up their ears and listened, as if they wanted to hear the song.
"This painting is a collaboration between three people, and it is very rare. It is a very stupid thing for someone to deliberately remove the seals of Feng Jiu and Yao Zun, and if I want to say it, not only will it not increase the value of the painting itself, but it will greatly reduce it. ”
"I'm not belittling Master Shiraishi, but if you think about it, Master Shiraishi has a lot of works. This work can only be regarded as a middle and lower in it, but if it is the work of three people, then it will suddenly become a rare treasure, because in this world, I am afraid there is no second such work. ”
"Of course, I personally don't know much about Feng Jiu and Yao Zun, but it can be seen from this painting that the two gentlemen's efforts are also extraordinary, and the two gentlemen have extremely distinct personalities, especially this Feng Jiu, quite a bit of a jealous talent, if this uses modern hype and packaging methods, plus his own level is very good, I am afraid that the price of the painting will be greatly increased in the future. ”
Zhang Tianyuan's words are actually just a simple expression of some of his own thoughts, he is not a speaker, let alone a master negotiator, but as a businessman and a collector, his words can always be to the point, naming the true collection value of this painting, and also proposed to the people in the pavilion in terms of collection.
Of course, this is not music, and it is impossible for everyone to listen to it as if they were fascinated, but they all heard it in their hearts, and felt that this teacher Zhang was really capable, and his words were not bad at all, if he could often talk to such a master, it would definitely be of great benefit.
So when Zhang Tianyuan stopped, Fan Liu and the others still had a feeling of unfinished business. To people who don't know how to collect, these things sound very boring, but for people who like to collect, this kind of thing is especially interesting.
Mr. Li wanted to applaud, but was stopped by Zhang Tianyuan: "As for me, that's all I have to say, otherwise, this short time will be wasted by this one thing, do you say yes?" (to be continued......)
