The two photos are very similar.

The content of the photo is a lady leaning against the window to enjoy the flowers and butterflies in the courtyard. And if you compare carefully, you can also find that whether it is the color, layout, or background of the painting, it is basically exactly the same.

The different details are just the worm eyes on the painting and the color of the paper. The two paintings, one slightly yellowish and white, and the other dull and yellowish, are inconsistent in color. Strictly speaking, though, the difference isn't much.

The point is that the two paintings are so similar that they are equivalent to two copies, making it impossible to tell which one is the real thing.

The crowd gathered around, whispering and talking. However, no one made a loud noise, so as not to worry Qi Xiang, who was looking at the painting through the photo.

Under the questioning of the huge boss, Qi Xiang no longer avoided it, but opened his mouth to analyze.

"This is Ren Bonian's painting." Qi Xiang recalled, while saying: "As we all know, Ren Bonian was a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty, and his main achievements were figure painting and flower and bird painting. ”

He lived at a time of great change unseen in 5,000 years. First, the Westerners bombarded the country with strong ships and artillery, and then there was the Taiping Rebellion, and the situation was turbulent. ”

Qi Xiang sighed lightly: "Life is hard, and it is not easy to make a living. Ren Bonian's family was poor, so he had to make a living by selling paintings. ”

"In that special environment, he strengthened the realistic elements of Chinese painting with the techniques of folk painting, Western watercolor and sketching, and combined gongbi with freehand, traditional Chinese painting with Western painting, and literati painting, and then mixed them into one, forming a family of his own."

Qi Xiang admired it very much: "That's why Xu Beihong said that he is the first Chinese painter after Qiu Shizhou." There are even British painters' magazines who believe that his artistic attainments are similar to those of Van Gogh in the West, and that he was the most creative grandmaster of the 19th century. ”

"In modern times, the auction price of Ren Bonian's paintings at auction is not low."

"I remember that when I was one year old, he had a work that was sold for 16.7 billion yuan. It not only refreshed the auction record of his works, but also entered the 100 million yuan club. ”

"Of course, no matter how high the evaluation of later generations is, it can't hide a fact."

Qi Xiang swept his fingers over the photo, shook his head lightly, and said: "At that time, no matter how famous Ren Bonian was, he was an out-and-out folk painter. Well, a painter is a nice term, but in fact he is a painter. ”

"Because Ren Bonian never regarded himself as a literati, compared with the literati paintings of his contemporaries, his works are less arrogant, but more real."

Qi Xiang gestured: "This truth can be seen from his works. The dress of the lady in the picture is not divorced from reality. If you look closely, it seems to smell a little dusty. ”

In other words, the original form of the lady, or a certain ...... Ahem, a girl who has lost her footing. ”

Qi Xiang's words were a little tactful, but everyone understood, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"So the artistic conception in the painting is also very clear and clear."

Qi Xiang said slowly: "The emptiness and loneliness of the ladies, envy and yearn for the freedom of butterflies and flowers outside the window, are also rendered very expressive and meticulous. ”

"Little brother, we also understand the artistic conception you said, so you don't need to say more." In the crowd, someone said impatiently: "We just want to know, which of these two paintings is the real thing?" ”

"That's right." Many people thought so and echoed it.

Qi Xiang smiled, but did not rush to explain, but continued to elaborate on Ren Bonian's life: "As a famous painter of the Shanghai School, Ren Bonian was not famous at the beginning. ”

But after painting a large number of group fans and folding fans, he gradually made a name for himself and slowly established his position in the painting world. From an unknown painter, he became the tallest painter at that time. ”

Qi Xiang talked eloquently: "At that time, the painting scroll was paid according to the size, and he painted about three yuan per square foot, which was several times that of ordinary painters......"

At this moment, others heard some smells, and thoughtfully: "You mean, Ren Bonian's paintings are selling well, so there are already people copying them at that time?" ”

"It's not necessarily someone else's copy."

Qi Xiang shook his head and sighed lightly: "After Ren Bonian became famous, he often accepted a large number of orders, and sometimes had to paint a dozen or even dozens a day. The huge workload made him often physically exhausted, so he had to smoke a lot of cigarettes to refresh himself......"

"This is overdrawing life, so at the age of fifty-six, Ren Bonian died of illness. Before he died, his life savings were cheated out by relatives, and his family was financially depressed. ”

Qi Xiang sighed a little: "Ren Bonian has a son and a daughter, although the son also knows how to paint, but compared with him, it is far behind. It was his daughter, who inherited his mantle and was able to imitate his paintings. ”

"So after Ren Bonian's death, his fakes flooded the market......"

Qi Xiang looked around and said with a faint smile: "This kind of situation is not unfamiliar to everyone, right?" ”

A bunch of people, you look at me, I look at you, and then laugh a little subtlely.

Not to mention that it is no stranger, it is simply the unspoken rules of the industry.

In recent years, it has been repeatedly reported in the industry that after the death of some well-known modern painters, his family members joined hands with students to use the seals left by the great painters to reproduce and produce the so-called "posthumous works" in large quantities.

This situation can be called a stubborn disease, and many people hate the cancer of the market.

The problem is that as long as it is profitable, such a trend must be unstoppable, and it has existed in the past and will definitely continue in the future, which is also a headache.

At this time, everyone understood, and someone made it clear: "Little brother, what do you mean is that between the two paintings, there is one of Ren Bonian's daughters...... Imitation? ”

"It should be ......," Qi Xiang nodded.

"What about the evidence?" Someone couldn't wait to say, "Which one is a fake?" ”

"Fake...... It should be ......" Qi Xiang raised his fingers.

At the same time, the others perked up and paid intently to attention. It's a bunch of nonsense, and that's the key.

The heart of the huge boss also slowly floated into the air with Qi Xiang's hand, up and down. From the bottom of his heart, he really doesn't care about one or two paintings, but he feels a little uncomfortable and entangled when he gives them away so easily.

In front of everyone's eyes, Qi Xiang was a little uncertain, and sighed: "To be honest, these two paintings really make me embarrassed......"

Seeing Qi Xiang selling Guan Zi again, a group of people suddenly glared angrily, and their eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Ahem......"

Feeling angry, Qi Xiang hurriedly added: "It's mainly two paintings, both of which have their own faults, and they don't look real!" ”

"What?"

The unexpected answer naturally made everyone stunned and puzzled.

"Problems with both paintings? How could it be ......"

Many people expressed disbelief, but many people moved in their hearts, looking at the huge boss with suspicion, wondering if the huge boss was scheming and deliberately made two fakes to fool people?

"Don't look at me, everybody." The huge boss felt wronged, and emphasized: "I said everything, the fake was not arranged by me, if you have any opinions, go to those old men." ”

"Uh......" The others reacted, and they all looked at several collection appraisal masters.

At the right time, an old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Young man, we can use our reputation to vouch that these two works must be true and false." ”

"Yes, there are real and false paintings, but you can't be foolish, you have to say exactly where the two paintings are real and where they are fake. Otherwise, even if you are right, but you can't give a reason, we will treat you as a failure......"

Another old man said with great interest: "What kind of result it is, it depends on your understanding." ”

A few old people smiled very unscrupulously, and they didn't have the slightest intention of cherishing talents and promoting their juniors.

Qi Xiang was slandered in his heart, and his eyes became very cautious, and he analyzed carefully: "These two works seem to be exactly the same, but in fact, there is still a little difference in the strokes. ”

"As we all know, Ren Bonian can be called an all-round painter, with figures, landscapes, flowers, feathers, etc., but the most painted are portraits."

Qi Xiang muttered: "Ren Bonian was born in the citizenry, learned ancestral photography since he was a child, and was good at observing and learning, and integrated Western painting techniques into traditional Chinese literati paintings, so he has achieved high achievements, and there is an endless stream of people seeking paintings. ”

"However, because Ren Bonian smoked and drank a lot of alcohol for a long time, in his later years, his lung disease became more and more serious, and his health and energy were greatly impaired.

Qi Xiang commented: "But his daughter, after all, is still relatively young, and her skills must not be compared with him." Moreover, due to congenital reasons, women tend to draw lines that are a little delicate......"

"Let's compare it, and you can see it."

Qi Xiang pointed to a painting and gestured: "The faces and hands of the ladies in the picture, especially the clothes, are very soft and have a very delicate feeling. ”

There are some things that people don't pay attention to and it's easy to ignore. But as soon as I was reminded, I immediately saw the sun, and it was very clear and clear.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around to take a look, and sure enough, they felt that the ladies in the painting that Qi Xiang was referring to were indeed very delicate in their drawing lines, giving people a delicate atmosphere. Looking at another painting, I don't feel that way.

After some comparison, someone was curious: "Little brother, do you think that this painting is the work of Ren Bonian's daughter?" ”

"Ten ** ......" Qi Xiang nodded: "After all, female painters, when painting, it is easy to concentrate their energy on some weak 'fragmentary' local details. ”

"For example, headdresses, clothing patterns, flowers and butterflies ......"

Qi Xiang said with a smile: "These details are painted very carefully, the colors are relatively distinct, and they are full of grace. It's not that I look down on female painters, but it's beautiful to paint like this, but it's a bit of a reversal. ”

"Focusing on the details, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture. So the whole character image seems a little stereotyped, a little childish, not like a master's handwriting......"
