Lin Fengmian went to France to study in 1919 and returned to China in 1925, spending time in Europe between the ages of 20 and 25. From 1920 to 1923, he studied drawing and oil painting at the École des Beaux-Arts de Dijon and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1923, he went on a study tour to Germany. During his time in Germany, he created many works and had a deep understanding of Western oil painting.

Around 1931, Mrs. Jiang Kai returned to Fenghua and visited the art school when she passed through Hangzhou. When he saw the painting "Pain", he asked Lin Fengmian what he meant, and Lin said: "It expresses human suffering." Jiang said: "Under the blue sky and white sun, how can there be so much pain? "In Chinese history, the ruling authorities who came to power by massacres need to sing and dance, and they don't want to see real life."

Lin Fengmian, who returned from studying abroad, is bent on reviving the art of the motherland, and his status in the cultural and artistic circles cannot be said to be low, and he is just young and graceful, why is there such a solemn sadness and depression?

Lin Fengmian was born in a family of stonemasons, and since he was a child, he has followed his grandfather to work in stone chisels, and he understands and deeply sympathizes with the suffering of working people. Two other events had a profound effect on his personality, one was the death of his father in 1922, when he was in Paris grieving alone.

Another incident is the sudden death of his wife Luo Da and her young baby, Lin Fengmian was so traumatized that he did not sleep day and night, and engraved his own inscription for Luo Da on the stone surface. This heavy blow left an irreparable psychological wound for the introverted Lin Fengmian. His sensitivity and sincerity in the painful subjects of life are typical representatives of the pathos.

In 1977, Lin Fengmian was allowed to visit relatives abroad, and since then he has moved to Hong Kong until his death. After more than 10 years in Hong Kong, he visited Brazil several times, revisited Paris after a 60-year absence, and held solo exhibitions in Japan, France, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Therefore, it also has a certain reputation in the international oil painting circle, which is the first favorable condition. ”

"Painting diligently, there are many works, and there are many acquisitions and collections, which are the characteristics of that period. In Hong Kong, he lived a peaceful life, with a lot of room for creativity, and painted many works reminiscent of old works, whether it was landscapes, still lifes, ladies, flowers and birds, and opera characters. Or the new addition of Christ, nuns, dreams, Qu Yuan, etc. All in all, he reproduces the two themes of calling for humanity and chanting for life, and his style is more free, unrestrained and intense. ”

"Therefore, Lin Fengmian's paintings have a kind of spiritual impact that calls for beauty, and through the expression of cold colors and even pathos on the surface, it contrasts people's admiration for tranquility, which is very in line with the current aesthetic requirements."

Everyone nodded, and unanimously agreed to choose Lin Fengmian, and the rest is easy to do, collected through various channels, and his works are also thousands of pieces in the world, and many galleries in Hong Kong have them.

The second is Luo Zhongli, a representative of the realist school, who went to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Belgium in 1984 to study, and is currently the president of the Chinese Academy of Contemporary Art and the vice chairman of the China Oil Painting Association. He has held many solo exhibitions in more than a dozen countries around the world, which is very influential. ”

Wang Jiansen said with a smile: "Lao Luo is my friend, he is definitely a representative of realism, everyone should have seen the most classic father, shocking!" ”

"Yes, that's why I chose him, although he has already made a name for himself at home, he is still just average internationally. The next step is to talk about cooperation and push him to the altar! ”

Wu Tianyuan took out a few photos and said with a smile: "The remaining three you definitely don't know, they are all young painters, especially Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Xincheng's son, who has just graduated from the French Academy of Fine Arts." I've seen his work by chance, it's very spiritual, it's a bit of a Picasso. ”

"Huh? It's kind of interesting! ”

Wang Jiansen said curiously: "It's really, it looks a little like it at first glance, it's good!" ”

"Mr. Zhang has a good relationship with me, Zhang Yunfei is his own person, and there is no problem with this candidate. And then there's Kazuo Whitehair in Japan. When he was a student, he painted Japanese paintings, and after graduation, he switched to oil painting. He felt that the brilliant colors and flowing charm of oil paints were incomparable to the mineral pigments used in Japanese paintings. ”

He even thought that this sense of fluidity was the form of artistic expression he dreamed of, and in order to confirm his position, he carefully studied Fauvism, Expressionism, and other "paintings as expressions of emotion", from which he saw the direction of his art. ”

In order to emphasize the fluidity of oil paint, he first applied it with a palette knife, then directly with his hands, and finally with his feet, and in 1954 he gave birth to the "foot painting method". On the floor of his studio, usually covered with oversized canvases, he clings to ropes suspended from the ceiling with both hands to keep his body balanced, and his feet glide directly over the canvases packed with paint. As a trajectory depicted, his movement behavior is clearly displayed on the picture.

"Hiroaki Yamanaka has found a few Japanese collectors who specialize in collecting white-haired Kazuo, and we have thousands of works in our hands, so we can eat them slowly and wait for the opportunity."

"The last one is the Impressionists, the descendants of Freud, Romon and Jenny have already contacted each other, and they are also a fledgling painter with great potential, but now they still need external help, and they are also suitable candidates."

In the end, Wu Tianyuan concluded: "These are just the candidates I have just studied, and everyone can collect them if they find potential in the future, especially young and middle-aged painters with good character and strong artistic expression." ”

"Brother Wang, you have a lot of Wu Guanzhong and Zhang Daqian in your hands, right? When the time comes, it can be used as a high-end boutique, and then it depends on whether you are reluctant to do it? ”

Everyone is re-impressed by Wu Tianyuan, although there are still some details worth discussing in his plan, but the overall idea is clear, the steps are complete, and the feasibility is high! Plus the joint efforts of eight people, nine out of ten are stable!

"No problem!" Boss Liu echoed: "Now is an era of hype, as long as there are resources and connections, it is a stone, and we can blow out a flower, not to mention an expressive work of art!" ”

"Yes, I'll join forces with Pony, Penguin and Du Niang on the Internet to ensure that I will become a household name overnight!"

"Alibaba has also started to operate an art channel, and Youku and Zhou Wenyan's programs have warmed up together, and they have a wave of hype in advance!"

"I know a lot of critics and galleries, and let Bai Hua and Lao Guo be in charge of receiving goods, and they are good at this kind of thing!"

Wu Tianyuan is very excited, this is the strength of the team, eight big tyrants, join forces to do one thing, it is difficult to say in the world, but in China, there is really nothing that can't be done!

"You're still focused on raising the museum's reputation and quality! This is the lifeblood of Tianyuan! After building the most high-end brand in the future, everything will be easy to do. As for the rest, leave it to us, no problem. ”

Boss Liu made a final decision, and the first investment plan of Tianyuan Fund was officially determined and immediately implemented.

Wu Tianyuan sighed, it is still easy to cooperate with local tyrants, and as soon as you have an idea, you can do it immediately! Each one has a deep background, one person can't handle two people, two people can't handle four people, and I really can't imagine that there are eight people in the market who can't do it together!

It is also they who believe in Wu Tianyuan, optimistic about the huge appreciation potential of artworks in the future, the domestic market is saturated, the profits are very low, and no one can feel the crisis of the cold in the high places more than them! Now there is a good project, making money and collecting it, saying that it is a cultural export, creating the competitiveness of Chinese traditional culture in the world, and how high-end the atmosphere!

"By the way, in view of the inspiration of Wang Zhongjun's sky-high auction post a few days ago, I still have an idea, there are only eight of you in the official members of the Tianyuan Association, and there will be no more increases, and scarcity is expensive. But the more collaborators, the better, and that's networking. ”

Wu Tianyuan smiled: "How about we also launch the most popular private customization now?" If you have friends around you who like what kind of collections, I will launch a network to find out, and maybe we can achieve a win-win situation. Don't forget that we also have Hiroaki Yamanaka and polar bears! ”

A few people said happily: "No problem, there are people who want to know you kid all day long, and there are local tyrants with a lot of money and no place to spend it!" Whether you really like it or invest in it, as long as the ancestor baby can stay in China, it is a good thing! ”
