Zhang Qun's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, not only was he copying it, but he was also selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, but he was directly exposed by Li Mobai. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"However, it does not affect the status of this painting, although it is a copying work, but to get Zhao Ji's imperial pen inscription and seal, it is enough to show the level of the author's painting, don't be sad." Li Mobai said with a smile again.

In fact, Zhao Ji's true works are very few, no matter how mediocre and incompetent the emperor has to deal with political affairs, and there are so many favorite concubines, and there are Li Shishi in the Qinglou outside to tryst, Zhao Ji has time to paint, but often organizes painters to paint, now the authentic works of Zhao Ji are really very few, of course, Zhao Ji's royal pen inscription does not mean to pretend to be the author of this painting, the painter at that time has not yet had the habit of imprinting on the painting, and Zhao Ji's imperial pen inscription is the supreme honor for the painter.

Hearing Li Mobai's words, Zhang Qun also eased up, it was not the first time that someone said that this was a royal inscription, but it came out of Li Mobai's mouth, which was more convincing, which was equivalent to the final verdict, and smiled, "Bai Shao is really sharp-eyed, and he is ashamed." ”

"Do you think I look like Goku? You're doing something to hurt me! Li Mobai laughed and said, "What other wonderful Chinese paintings?" ”

In fact, at this time, Li Mobai has confirmed that this is Mi Fu copying Gu Kaizhi's "Qin Chopping Diagram", no matter how clever the means of copying, there will always be his own painting style, and this painting happens to have Mi Fu's pen style, but Li Mobai will not say it, saying it is to find himself uncomfortable.

Mi Fu's calligraphy and painting are quite quite excellent, copying the painting is a must, according to legend, there was once a painting and calligraphy businessman took a famous painting of the Tang Dynasty ready to sell to Mi Fu, Mi Fu felt that the price was too high, but very like, let the businessman put the painting here, five days later to reply, the businessman agreed, and so on the sixth day when the businessman came, Mi Fu said that the price was too high to buy, so let the dealer take the painting back, the businessman confirmed that it was correct and left. After the businessman went back, he found that this was a new painting, and the next day he hurried to find Mi Fu, Mi Fu laughed and said, 'I am waiting for you to come, I am very happy to see you take the wrong one. ’

From this story, it is enough to illustrate Mi Fu's attainments in painting, and this painting also has the seal of Song Huizong, which has a very high value.

"Ha, just 5 works, it's better for you to enjoy it yourself." Zhang Qun knew that Li Mobai didn't want to say more about this painting, so he didn't want to ask too much, so he also sold Guanzi.

Li Mobai didn't care, anyway, it's just 5 objects, let's take a look, the auction will be in the evening, it's still early. Continuing to walk forward, I found that it was an oil painting, the naked woman "Big Nude" by the Italian painter Modigliani, and Li Mobai was a little surprised to see this painting, which can be regarded as a masterpiece of contemporary art.

Modigliani was a gifted portrait painter who lived only 36 years before his illness took his life, but at only 36 years old, he was remembered by the world.

Modigliani was actually a troubled young man, alcoholics, drugs, fights, fighting for women, omnipotent, the most he did was to fight with others on the street because of women with the smell of alcohol, and he had a number of women he could not count, but he only loved two women in his life, and when he was with these two women, it was the peak of his painting career.

In Modigliani's life, the most painted are nudes and self-portraits, which are also his most accomplished fields, his portraits are deeply influenced by Van Gogh and Gauguin, and also absorb the nutrients of sculpture, he is also a sculptor, but not as high as his achievements in the field of painting, his paintings brought a kind of 'new shudder' to the art world in the early 20th century.

His nude female paintings can be described as the most daring works, with round rooms and dark and thick pubic hair, which are very conspicuous, but there is no hint of silver evil, bringing people a beautiful visual enjoyment.

Modigliani's painting of nudes is unique in that he pulls the nude into the foreground when he uses both horizontal and vertical compositions, just as he does when a photographic lens highlights the subject. As a result, people see a close-up scene, without a complete human body, and part of the arms and legs of the nude woman are truncated from the frame, and the painter vividly presents the part that he wants people to see. This incomplete surname can be said to be a sign of the modern surname, as well as a sign of Modigliani.

The picture of the nude girl in front of him is painted by him and his most beloved woman, the aristocratic poetess Beatrice, who is five years older than him, when they lived together, Modigliani's painting at this stage is fast and good, like divine help, Beatrice is the source of his creativity, of course, this guy also beats women, very cruel, and finally the two broke up after living together for 2 years, Modigliani was sad for a while, and then fell in love with another beloved woman, Yana, but after living together for a few years, Modigliani fell ill and died.

After Modigliani's death, one of his lovers died for this guy on the same day, he is really a legend, Li Mobai wants to laugh when he thinks of this guy, and he is a genius.

After reading this "Big Nude", Li Mobai looked forward and found that it was a sculpture. Giacometti's work. He is the most famous sculptor of his time, the greatest and most expressive sculptor in post-war Europe, as well as an oil painter, sketcher and poet, with a bit of Chinese literati flavor, and his works are very high in terms of artistic value and investment value, with the sculpture "Walking Man" selling for $110 million in 201 and three other works selling for tens of millions of dollars.

The work in front of him is Giacometti's "Woman and Her Broken Throat", Giacometti thinks that this is an excellent endorsement to explain his thoughts, although many people think that it is incomprehensible, but if you read Sartre, this work is easy to understand.

Giacometti's pursuit of artistic meaning, to a large extent, is almost identical to Sartre's script for The Insulted and the Damaged. He borrowed Sartre's concept of "emptiness" about human existence to deduce the metaphysical external expression of art, which must profoundly reveal its ideological connotation. Giacometti once pointed out that the modern view of art should contain two different propositions of "loneliness". The former is called the "lonely image", which is a "still life" in the gloom and gloom to state the individual meaning of "form"; The latter describes the "semantic loneliness" of art, pointing to the kind of content narrative that is "plausible and not", revealing the general meaning. In other words, the unity of form and content is the value of framing art itself, or whether art should have the aesthetic function of "neither resembling nor resembling" or "neither being nor not".

Giacometti further elaborates that his works are "a kind of supernatural solitude" that arises from "visual or spiritual logical explanations." Thus, "it is a fantasy of 'assembly'". He said: "The Woman and Her Severed Throat" is such a wonderful self-interpretation work.

In this piece, Giacometti treated it to the effect of a broken tooth. What exactly are they? What do people see again? The associations, nostalgia and sympathy it inspires are like a kind of inner bitterness bubbling down, how much like Sartre's bullied lonely and hopeless street girl, walking alone in the empty and silent square around her. Who knows if there is any purpose in the dark? Only by going on is the freest state of her life? Giacometti said: "She may still be able to wait for the dawn to come, but in this alienated world, can she expect more? "Just as Kafka went around in circles in The Castle, that kind of lonely wandering, can it find its way home?

Giacometti's achievements in modern art are no longer remarkable in the medium of "metal". A large number of his experimental works are more mature because they are incorporating strong "humanitarian" ideas. With the wisdom of a philosopher, he stood at the bottom of society and conspired with the "little people" on the shelf to conspire with the "proletarian" style, which created his popular art, or humanist art.

Li Mobai really liked this work, looked at it for a while, and suddenly found that he was like Mr. K in "The Castle", can he enter the gate of the castle?

After being stunned for a while, Li Mobai knew that he was moved by this work, shook his head and paced forward, continued to look down, and found that it was a Hindu statue sculpture and a European medieval scepter, although they were quite valuable, but Li Mobai was not too interested, and looked at it quite easily for a while before preparing to leave.

As soon as he walked to the door, Zhang Qun came over again, "Bai Shao, I'm here to invite you to dinner, I'm afraid you will forget the time again." ”

Li Mobai laughed when he heard this, he didn't object, the tiger and the leopard responded every time they reminded Li Mobai, but they didn't move, but they didn't dare to remind Li Mobai, so they had to starve with Li Mobai.

"Fancy Giacometti's sculpture? Be sure to let you know in advance when there is any auction of his work, and the doors of any Sotheby's office around the world will always be open for you. Zhang Qun said with a smile.

The two talked and laughed all the way, and then walked to the restaurant, and after eating, Li Mobai went back to the room to think about the bidding strategy, which is very important, but this time the goal is only 4 works, which is not too difficult, and the opponent is stoned to death with money.

Standing in front of the window of the luxurious room of the cruise ship, looking at the blue sea, Li Mobai suddenly decided to buy himself a big yacht, so that he could go to sea at any time in the future, and even buy a baby from abroad can directly use the yacht to get it back. Thinking of this, Li Mobai decided to buy himself a large plane, which is not only spacious, but also safe, and more convenient for traveling around the world and Taobao in the future.

At 6 o'clock, Scott appeared in front of Li Mobai again and informed Li Mobai that the auction was about to start.
