Liu Yizhi studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in the nineties of the last century. In the 90s, he began his career of traveling around the world with a drawing board, passing through the Middle East to Europe, and lived in Paris, the world's art capital, for several years, during which he studied and researched in many museums in Vienna, Rome and other birthplaces of European art.

After more than ten years of painstaking research and painting, he finally became famous. Liu Yizhi's realistic oil paintings have won many awards internationally, especially by European artists and collectors. Especially at this year's Vienna Oil Painting Gold Medal, he defeated many famous painters in Europe in one fell swoop, and won the title with a realistic "The Train is Coming", which shocked the entire European oil painting world.

At that time, countless collectors frantically wanted to pay a high price for such a realistic oil painting with surrealist significance, but they were all rejected by Liu Yizhi. Because Liu Yizhi said that this painting was given to his mentor Tang Huiqin.

A few days ago, Liu Yizhi hurriedly returned to China with the award, although it was already ** o'clock in the evening, but still like an excited child, carrying his painting "The Train is Coming" and the Vienna Gold Award Golden Man, he hurriedly ran to Jian'an City, where Tang Huiqin was located.

But it's a pity that although Tang Huiqin is very happy about Liu Yizhi's achievements, she also congratulates him. However, he said that he would not accept the award-winning work "The Train is Coming".

And today, Tang Huiqin took the initiative to invite Liu Yizhi to his home as a guest, and Liu Yizhi decided that no matter what, he must let the teacher accept his paintings today. Without the teacher's teachings to me, I would not have achieved what I am today. Therefore, this painting "The Train is Coming" Liu Yizhi must be given to the teacher Tang Huiqin.

knocked on the door of the teacher Tang Huiqin's house, and saw the smiling face of the teacher's lovely granddaughter Qin Yanran, Liu Yizhi also saw Qin Yanran that day, and he appreciated Qin Yanran's artistic talent very much. At that time, she also encouraged Qin Yanran to enter the Central Academy of Fine Arts to study oil painting with her teacher Tang Huiqin, but the little girl had her own ideas, and she was still the top student in the college entrance examination this time, and she had already made up her mind to apply for the financial and economic major of Qingbei University.

"Yanran, hello! We meet again. ”

Looking at Qin Yanran's cute smiling face, Liu Yizhi also loved Qin Yanran as his junior, but it seemed that he was a little disappointed after seeing Qin Yanran open the door and seeing that it was him.

"Uncle Liu, ...... Please come in and sit ......."

Qin Yanran was a little disappointed when she saw that it was not Su Lin coming, but she still admired Liu Yizhi in front of her very much. The last time she chatted in the teahouse, she learned that this proud protégé of her grandmother had once hiked thousands of kilometers to paint an oil painting, and all European countries had his footprints. His realistic oil paintings have been recognized by the mainstream European art circles, and famous European collectors are already vying to collect his paintings.

I heard that he won the gold medal for oil painting in Vienna in May this year. But he wanted to give the award-winning "The Train is Coming" to his grandmother, and Qin Yanran had also seen that painting, which was indeed very shocking.

"The Train is Coming" was painted by the famous realist oil painter Liu Yizhi over a period of six months, and the idea for the painting came from Liu Yizhi's trekking on a railway track in Austria that crosses a golden wheat field. The train came and bumped into a pair of children who were playing on the tracks, a boy and a girl, and the boy struggled to push the little girl away from him. The frightened expressions of the adults harvesting the wheat fields around them, the whine of the train, the crows flying in the sky, and the blood-like afterglow of the sunset, Liu Yizhi also witnessed this tragedy with his own eyes at that time.

He freezes the camera in this moment, relying on memory and imagination. On the drawing board, he sketched such a picture of "The Train is Coming". This painting is Liu Yizhi's painstaking work, and even in order to depict the bright red blood of the little boy who was hit by a train, Liu Yizhi mixed his own blood with the paint. It took six full months to complete such a masterpiece of realist oil painting.

And today, Liu Yizhi memorized this painting "The Train is Coming" again. He was accompanied by a well-known collector and painter Yuan Hai in China. Yuan Hai also inquired about Liu Yizhi's return to China, so he asked the relationship to hear that Liu Yizhi came to the residence of his teacher Tang Huiqin in Jian'an City, so he cheekily wanted to collect Liu Yizhi's "The Train is Coming".

However, when Liu Yizhi won the award abroad, he was not tempted by the tens of millions of dollars offered by so many European collectors, or he did not care about it at all, he would only dedicate this painting to his mentor. Regarding Yuan Hai's request, Liu Yizhi naturally refused tactfully. However, Yuan Hai did not give up, he heard that Liu Yizhi was going to visit his teacher Tang Huiqin today, so he came with him. is to see if there is any way to buy such a painting from Tang Huiqin's hands.

You know, just such a painting "The Train is Coming", because it won the Vienna Oil Painting Gold Award, is already worth more than 10 million. In addition, Liu Yizhi later announced that this painting would not be sold, but would only be given to his teacher Tang Huiqin. The price of this painting "The Train is Coming" has doubled several times in a row, and now several famous international collectors have offered more than 50 million US dollars to buy this sky-high painting.

Scarcity is precious, and this painting is also Liu Yizhi's most satisfied, and he also feels that he may never be able to reach the peak of such a painting in his life. The so-called most satisfying work is always the next one, and the nonsense is a lie to children, a person's artistic career is limited, and in this limited artistic career, there is a short period of time that is his golden age.

Liu Yizhi feels that his golden age is now, and it seems that it is about to pass. Realist oil painting pays the most attention to the accumulation of real experience, goes through the vicissitudes of the world, and finally integrates the best feelings into the bits and pieces of oil painting, which is the mystery of oil painting.

There is an old Chinese saying that "the article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even obtained", and art is all the same. The same is true of paintings, where a moment of inspiration and creativity, and finally condensed into a work, are simply irreproducible. Even if Liu Yizhi is given another six months, or a year, I am afraid he will not be able to paint works like "The Train is Coming" anymore. It can be said that the work "The Train is Coming" is already the highest achievement of Liu Yizhi's artistic career in this life.

Many painters are very sad, their paintings are famous after death, such as Van Gogh, several of the world's most valuable famous paintings are from his hand, but he was poor during his lifetime. The oil painting "Xiang Yuekui" reveals Van Gogh's struggle against fate, and the pursuit of light is as tenacious as Xiang Yuekui, but in the end, he can only end his life in grief and regret.

I don't know if Van Gogh will be able to see himself leave such a strong mark in the history of world art after his death, but his life is indeed regrettable. Compared with Van Gogh, Liu Yizhi is much luckier, although he has suffered a lot in the pursuit of art, but in the year of his establishment, it is already a great honor and luck to be able to win such a great honor.

In the days when he won the award, Liu Yizhi felt that he was dreaming. Even he felt that life was so dreamy and unreal, but it was the case, he succeeded and won this honor.

However, he attributed all this to his education when Tang Huiqin was in college, "If you have a dream, you have to chase it, and you will have no regrets for the rest of your life". Therefore, he is excited to visit the teacher today, and he must give this painting away.

"Yanran, are you really not thinking about studying art anymore? You have a good artistic talent, and you have a teacher's teaching, which is unbeatable compared to others......"

After entering the door, Liu Yizhi said to Qin Yanran with a smile. Behind him, the collector painter Yuan Hai was much more cautious, and this was the home of Tang Lao, a great figure in the Chinese painting world, who is said to have closed his pen ten years ago. There are only a few paintings circulating in the outside world, and more of them are collected in major museums in China. Moreover, Tang Lao's greatest contribution was to bring out so many outstanding Chinese and Western painters in China, and to fill the gaps in the theoretical knowledge of Western painting and Chinese painting in China.

It is really not an exaggeration to say that Tang Huiqin is the founder of the domestic painting world, if there is no Tang Huiqin, the number and quality of domestic painters will drop by a level as a whole. Over the past 30 years of teaching and research at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, thousands of students have gained the same knowledge and inspiration as Ganquan from Tang Lao, and have cultivated thousands of first-rate painters in China. Even a famous painter like Liu Yizhi.

"Even if you can't receive Liu Yizhi's "The Train is Coming" today, it is also excellent to be able to ask Tang Lao for one or two sealed works."

With his own careful thoughts, Yuan Hai, a famous collector in China, cautiously swept the environment in the house, but found a painting in the corner of the living room, unable to see the content of the painting, covered with a white cloth, but it was very likely to be the handwriting of Donald.

"Could it be that this painting is Donald's real pen work?"

The sharp-eyed collector Yuan Hai's heart moved, and his mind had already noticed the painting, but he knew the value of Donald's real sealed pen work. (To be continued.) )
