Chapter 658 Antique

Qian Shiming and Qian Yong both watched the TV picture seriously, and they wanted to learn some knowledge about calligraphy and painting appraisal.

This 'Treasure of Paintings' program is generally sent by ordinary people to some paintings from their own collections, and then sent to this program for identification. These people who participated in the show are actually called treasure holders.

At the beginning of the show, an aunt brought a painting to the stage and asked an expert to identify it. After the expert appraisal, they said that this painting was just an ordinary modern fake, not a cultural relic-level work of art.

In this way, this collection is not worth a few dollars. The expert told the treasure holder that her collection was worth hundreds of dollars. When this aunt heard this, she was naturally a little unhappy in her heart. This painting was bought by her for tens of thousands of dollars. Now after being appraised by experts, she knows that she has lost a lot of money this time.

In fact, it is really difficult to make money in the collection industry. Because, in some antique markets, there will be a lot of antique jade, as well as all kinds of art. But in fact, most of these works of art are things that are not worth a few dollars. There are very few things that are really valuable.

In such a program to identify paintings, as long as they are the treasures on the stage, most of them are fakes, maybe some fakes, and the works that can really be worth millions or tens of millions are almost invisible, and it can be said that they are very few. After all, those who can pick up the leaks may only be a lucky few.

After this aunt, there is another treasure holder, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body, who took his paintings and asked experts to appraise them on stage. These two works look like ancient works of art. Both paintings look very quaint. The paper has been yellowed, giving people the feeling that this painting, that should definitely be a real cultural relic-level work of art.

When this treasure bearer arrived on the stage, he was also full of confidence. I feel that this work of mine must be genuine.

At that time, the host first asked the eldest brother how much he spent on this painting and how he got this painting. The bearer proudly said, "I bought it from a friend of mine." My friend said it was an ancestral treasure of their family. I've always been reluctant to buy it. It's just that I have lost millions of dollars in stock speculation recently, and I have lost all the newly bought houses, and now I can only give this painting to my hands, otherwise, I can only live on the streets.

My friend said at the time that it was an heirloom for their family, and that his grandfather's grandfather bought this painting when he was in his prime. This painting is the authentic work of a great painter in ancient times, which has been identified by experts and has been recognized as a national first-class cultural relic. It can be worth millions.

It's just that this friend said that he has no choice now, he just wants to quickly dispose of this painting, so that he can buy a house to live in first. My friend said that for the sake of their friends, they sold me a million dollars.

My friend also said at the time that the million was equivalent to borrowing my money. He said that when he had the money, he would definitely buy the painting back. Because, this painting is their family heirloom!

As soon as I heard this, I felt that I had taken advantage of it, so I bought it back for 1 million. Just thinking that as soon as he changes hands, he can earn millions more!

This painting also has an appraisal certificate. It's just that I recently watched some TV news, saying that some criminals are now using fake appraisal certificates to deceive people, disguising some roadside goods as high-end cultural relics for sale, and then defrauding some collectors of money.

When I saw the news, I wanted to hurry over to the experts to see if my collection was genuine or not, and whether it was worth millions. If that's the case, then I'll send it. ”

The more the treasure bearer talked, the more excited he became, and he felt that this time, it must have picked up a big leak.

When the host heard the words of the treasure bearer, he hurriedly said to him: "Okay, you put the reverse painting here, and we will quickly ask the expert to identify it for you." ”

The treasure bearer also hurriedly stood aside and asked the experts to come over and conduct on-site appraisal of his work.

The host now called an old expert in appraising calligraphy and paintings, and asked him to appraise the paintings of this treasure holder. The expert went to the table where the painting was placed, then took out a magnifying glass from his coat pocket and looked at the painting carefully for a moment. After that, he just left with a smile.

When the treasure bearer saw that the expert was smiling and leaving, he was also more confident, and he felt that he must have missed it this time. must make a lot of money, this work must be a true work of an ancient great painter.

Even the host felt that the expert felt that this work was genuine, so he left with a smile on his face!

Now the host is also very happy to look at this treasure holder and said with a smile: "How do you feel, this expert has finished appraising your work, you look at his expression, feel that your work is still genuine!"

"I look at the expert's expression, I feel that my work is genuine, I just saw the expert is smiling! This doesn't mean that he has identified my work, and it feels like it is genuine! Otherwise, he shouldn't be smiling!" This treasure bearer actually feels that the expert is smiling and appraisals his work, and he thinks that the expert feels that his work is genuine!

But at this time, the host looked at the treasure holder and smiled: "Haha, I'm sorry, I can tell you that the experts on our show are generally smiling like this after appraising a certain work, do you know why!"

When the treasure bearer heard the host's words, he was puzzled and said, "I don't know! ”

"Because, identifying fakes is something they often encounter, that is, they are used to it. When they appraise these works, they use smiling expressions. And when they identify some genuine goods, they will be a little surprised on their expressions, so after they have identified them, they will not have such a relaxed and smiling expression. ”

The host looked at the treasure bearer and said his opinion again. After all, the host is very clear about the experts on this show. Because, in every episode of the show, they are completed together. And the treasure bearer doesn't know much about them. After all, treasure holders generally go on such shows once in a while, and in the future, they may not be on such shows for a long time.

As soon as he heard the host's words, the treasure bearer still didn't believe it, and felt that the host was just joking with him! He was still unconvinced and said: "Host, don't worry, I believe that my work is genuine, and the smile that the expert showed when he saw my work was a kind of envy from his heart." ”

After listening to the words of the treasure bearer, the host looked back at the expert and said, "Okay, in that case, let's let Expert Yu comment on your painting!"

After listening to the host's words, the expert surnamed Yu looked at the treasure bearer and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I can tell you now, my smile just now is not envious that you have collected such a work." My smile is exactly what the host said, and it's a habitual expression that I often use when I don't see a work that surprises me. ”

As soon as the expert said this, the treasure bearer was a little dumbfounded. After all, if people say this, his work may be a fake painting. This time, the treasure holder was shocked, and he immediately restrained himself and kept smiling with an expression.

"Yu --- expert, according to what you say, I --- that my work may be a fake. This treasure bearer just looked at this expert Yu in great surprise, and his expression was already with a look of chagrin.

This expert Yu looked at this treasure bearer now, and said with a very serious expression: "This brother, I can't hide it, your work is really a fake, and it is completely a fake. ”

As soon as he heard the words of this expert, this treasure bearer was a little unhappy, he looked at this Yu expert and said: "Yu expert, how can you say that, my work has an appraisal certificate, and this appraisal certificate clearly says that my work is the authentic work of a great painter in ancient times, how can you say that it is a fake." ”

After listening to the words of this treasure bearer, Expert Yu smiled again and said, "Haha! This brother, what is the appraisal certificate." The marriage certificate can be fake, so can't this appraisal certificate be fake? This fake painting, if you don't get an appraisal certificate, then how can it deceive people!"

As soon as he heard what the expert said, the treasure bearer was a little unconvinced, he looked at the expert and said: "Okay, even if what you say has some truth, but let me tell you, I don't know anything, I also know some knowledge in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting!"

"Haha, yes, then I'd like to hear your opinion. As soon as this expert Yu heard the words of this treasure bearer, he looked at this treasure bearer and said in a contemptuous tone.

"First of all, the color of the paper I painted looks like the color handed down from ancient times, and modern paper cannot be this color. This color can only be such a color after hundreds of years of time. The treasure bearer just looked at this expert Yu unconvinced and said.

"Haha, you're talking about this color! Let me tell you, some modern imitation painting masters, they are taking advantage of the psychology of ordinary people to make modern paintings into obsolete appearance.

In fact, this method does not have much technical content, that is, the modern rice paper can be baked under the candle for a period of time, and the modern rice paper can be made into the yellowed appearance of the ancient times.

Of course, this does not mean that anyone can do it, and it can be regarded as a little technical content! It also takes a long time of practice to be able to retro modern rice paper into the color of ancient old rice paper.

Because, if you don't know the baking distance, it is unlikely that you will be able to bake a piece of modern rice paper to the color of the old rice paper in ancient times. Because, if you are far away, you just can't 'color' this rice paper. But if you are close, it is possible to bake this rice paper, this is a matter of degree, you must grasp it well, in order to be able to make modern rice paper look like ancient rice paper.

But there is a good saying, what is fake is fake, what is fake will not be true, how good you are to imitate, there will still be some flaws. This technique of painting the color of antique paper can only be biased towards ordinary people who have no knowledge of identification. Or a collector with a little bit of forensic knowledge. But such imitations cannot be hidden from the eyes of real painting and calligraphy experts.

Because, on the paper of these baked works, these yellowing colors, it is uneven. It's not like a natural stale color, it must be very even. And the colors you imitate are just very difficult to be very uniform.

Of course, your imitation of the craft is very superb, naturally may also make these antique colors, on the paper, more uniform, if you don't look carefully, we can't distinguish at all, these colors are modern antique colors,

But as long as we carefully observe the surface of this imitation, we can still see some uneven colors. ”

This is an expert, not a loss is an expert in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, and people explained to him in detail what this treasure bearer said.

After listening to the words of this expert Yu, this treasure holder admired others a little in his heart. I feel that what people say is too reasonable, but just like that, he is still a little unconvinced. He also looked at the expert and said, "But I think the old colors on my works are very uniform? ”

After hearing the words of the treasure bearer, the expert got up from his seat again, and then walked up to the treasure bearer, took out a magnifying glass from his coat pocket, and then handed it to the treasure bearer and said, "This brother, you can see very clearly with the naked eye, of course, but if you use this, you will see more clearly." ”

The treasure bearer glanced at Expert Yu, who was unconvinced and took the expert's magnifying glass, and then began to look at his painting carefully.

He didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was shocked when he saw it. Because, before, when he looked at his painting with the naked eye, he felt that the antique color on it was very uniform, not like a modern imitation color at all, but now with this magnifying glass, he can see that the antique color on it is really not uniform.
