Fang Ming and Zheng Ru's dinner was eaten in a small western restaurant in the school, because it was almost time for class, so the two of them just quickly solved the problem.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when it was time for class, Fang Ming followed Zheng Ru to a large classroom, and when he entered, Zheng Ru naturally walked to the podium, while Fang Ming finally found a place in the corner of the classroom and sat down.

After looking around, he found that the classroom was very large, with more than 300 seats, and it was almost all full, and he also noticed a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the ten rows sitting in the front were almost all male animals.

Shaking his head gently, Fang Ming knew that this was the power of beauty, whether this beauty was a teacher or a junior sister, in short, as long as it was a beauty, it would attract the attention of males, and age was definitely not a problem!

"It seems that Mr. Zheng is very popular."

Fang Ming had seen Zheng Ru's "power" tonight.

"Slightly!"

Zheng Ru on the podium stretched out his finger and flicked the microphone twice, and the classroom, which was still a little noisy, suddenly quieted down, and Fang Ming knew that this was going to prepare for class.

Sure enough, Zheng Ru picked up an oil-based pen and wrote on the whiteboard the words "Appreciation of Western Oil Painting".

Fang Ming was stunned, he originally thought that Zheng Ru was born in a family of antiques, and his lectures should also be related to antiques, but he didn't expect that it would be a Western art. Fiction ybdu technique.

"Oh, I really didn't expect it to be Western art, and it's also oil painting."

Fang Ming scratched his head, this was really beyond his expectations.

"Oil painting refers to a way of painting on linen, wood or cardboard by using easily drying vegetable oils, such as linseed oil and walnut oil, to prepare paints. Because the pigment used has a relatively strong hardness, it can maintain the luster of the color for a long time after drying, mainly using the hiding power and transparency of the pigment to fully express the painted object, which has the characteristics of rich color, three-dimensional and strong texture. Such a way of painting is fundamentally different from the traditional ink painting in China. ”

At the beginning, Fang Ming didn't pay much attention to it, after all, this kind of painting method was too different from the ink painting that he was familiar with, that is, what Zheng Ru said, and it was too far away from him, but slowly he was "addicted" to it, and he found that Zheng Ru was showing another world in front of him, although it was completely different from what he was familiar with.

"Western oil painting is mainly divided into two genres, the first type is works that mainly reproduce objective things; The second category is works that use subjective impressions as the object of expression. ”

For example, the first type of genre is Baroque, Rock, Realism, Realism, etc., which are all based on nature, specifically, the popular genres in different periods are different, for example, Baroque was mainly popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, the art of this genre is characterized by exaggeration, flashiness, and the representative figure is Rubens; Realism, on the other hand, was mainly popular in the mid-19th century, and this genre advocated the use of fidelity to the object to express normal visual images, so as to reflect the essence of real life. ”

For example, post-impressionist painters emphasize the expression of their own feelings, especially pay attention to the contrast of colors and the internal structure of things when painting, etc., the most well-known representative painters are Van Gogh, Gauguin, etc., while Fauvism is good at using exaggerated shapes, strong colors, and rough lines to express the deep passion of paintersMatisse was the founder of this school. ”

Zheng Ru is obviously familiar with Western art history, and these things often blurt out in her mouth, like flowing water, and because she has a good rhythm, and at the same time she introduces the representative works of the schools and painters mentioned through slides, because it is even more fascinating.

Fang Ming looked around and found that everyone was attracted by Zheng Ru's explanation, and at this time, no one remembered that she was a beautiful woman, but only felt that a knowledgeable scholar was teaching her knowledge in front of him.

"Beauty, it's not all vases!"

Fang Ming nodded lightly, Zheng Ru's performance at this time undoubtedly proved this.

Engaging lessons always make people feel that time flies very quickly, and the two-hour class is quickly halfway over, and the 10-minute break in the middle passes in the blink of an eye, and when I return to class, I enter the stage of free questioning.

It was the first time for Fang Ming to take such a class, and he didn't expect that there would be such a link. This kind of on-the-spot questioning is a very challenging thing, which one can be admitted to the university is stupid? People who have a little idea, the questions they raise will definitely be strange, as a teacher dare to "open" such a link represents a strong confidence is not afraid of such a challenge, or it is quite embarrassing to be asked.

Of course, Zheng Ru will not have such a situation, although the classroom is full of people asking questions, and the questions raised are really strange, but the soldiers are coming to block and the water is flooding, and her teacher answered every question without thinking, and it is reasonable and well-founded, which makes people have to be convinced, even if they want to question it again, they can't do it

"Mr. Zheng, we all know that Van Gogh is a very famous painter, can you please introduce him a little bit more?"

Zheng Ru nodded and said, "There is no problem, because the time is limited, and everyone can go to the library or even the Internet to check some information related to him after class, so today I will briefly introduce his situation and main masterpieces here." ”

After a slight pause, Zheng Ru took a deep breath, and then continued: "In the history of art, there is only one Van Gogh who is the most famous, his full name is Vincent ^ Wilhelm Van Gogh, Dutch, in terms of genre, his painting style is a post-impressionist painter, but also a pioneer of expressionism, his paintings and style have profoundly influenced the entire Western twentieth, especially for Fauvism and Expressionism, July 29, 1890, Plagued by mental illness, he ended his life on the banks of the Oise River in France at the age of 37. ”

His representative works include "Sunflowers", "Wheat Field with Crows" and "Starry Night", two of which are now some of the most famous and expensive in the world

"Mr. Zheng, Van Gogh's paintings are very expensive? How expensive is it, exactly? ”

As soon as he said this, someone immediately shouted loudly.

The university class is very free, Zheng Ru was not angry at all when someone interrupted him, but nodded lightly and said: "Of course it is very expensive, so expensive that you may not be able to afford it in your lifetime, on November 11, 1987, one of his "irises" was sold for a sky-high price of 53.9 million US dollars, which shocked the whole world, and even caused a debate about 'culture and commerce to maintain a moral distance', and before, on March 30 of the same year, one of his sunflowers was sold for 39.5 million US dollars. By November 19, 1998, one of his beardless self-portraits had set a whopping $71.5 million! ”

The whole classroom was suddenly silent, more than 70 million? Don't say it's a dollar, even if it's RMB, it's a sky-high price, and if it's converted into RMB, it's billions! It's really a madman's act to buy a painting.

Fang Ming was also dumbfounded, more than 50 million US dollars, nearly 40 million US dollars, more than 70 million US dollars? This is the real sky-high price, and it is too much to pick up antiques by yourself, and the price is not low, but compared with this, it is the difference between heaven and earth.

"It seems that I should have traveled abroad, as long as I can pick up a half-picture like this, it will be a real fortune."

Fang Ming couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind, and then glanced at his right hand,

I wonder if my Pixiu will also work on those foreign oil paintings, and if so, it will be too cool. What's more important is that compared with picking up leaks abroad and picking up leaks at home, there is a fundamental difference, that is, in foreign countries, it is "robbing" other people's good things.

After a while, Fang Ming slowly came to his senses, there is no way to realize this idea for the time being, first of all, if his Pixiu ability does not work on foreign oil paintings, his grasp of picking up leaks is not much, and it can even be said that it is impossible to go one by one, at least for now, it is impossible to go abroad, even if he goes abroad, he must have strong funds as a foundation, although he has a lot of money now, but if he wants to go abroad to play prestige, Not for the time being.

"It seems that there is still a long way to go."

Touching his nose, Fang Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, although this idea was tempting, it could only be put aside for the time being.

"Next, please Mr. Fang Mingfang!"

A deliberately aggravated sentence coupled with a burst of warm applause startled Fang Ming, and after he came to his senses, he looked around and found that everyone was turning their heads to look for him, and when he looked at the podium, he found that Zheng Ru was looking at him with a smile.

"What the hell is going on?"

Fang Ming was in a trance just now, so he didn't hear Zheng Ru's words, and he didn't know what was going on, he was clearly "put on the stage" by Zheng Ru!
