Jin Muchen pointed to the painting beside him and said, and at this time, there were already two unknown bidders who came to stand beside him and helped him lift the painting.

What he said at this time seemed to be very lofty, and for these local tyrants who were just rich, it could be said to be a literacy.

After all, most of the people who come here to participate in the underground auction are actually rich people who have two dollars in their pockets and want to pick up cheap ones, and they may not understand the knowledge of antiques at all, or they only know a little bit.

There are also some people who may be in the antique business and have a deep understanding of antiques, but there are thousands of Chinese antiques, and these people may only know one of them, and they may not understand the paintings of Bada Shanren at all.

After all, most of the paintings in ancient China are mainly landscape paintings and ink paintings, and the ink freehand paintings of the Bada Shanren can only be regarded as one of the schools.

And his paintings have a very high status in the West, and even some Westerners who understand Oriental art will call his paintings Oriental Impressionism, so it highlights his position in the history of Chinese painting art.

But for many people who specialize in playing Chinese antique paintings, Western Impressionism, for them, is just a sound of it, but they don't necessarily know much about the essence of other people's impressionist paintings.

And Jin Muchen's explanation can be regarded as a popular science literacy for these people, so at this time, Jin Muchen's image instantly became tall in the eyes of these people.

Many knowledgeable people can tell so many ways just by listening to him and pointing to a painting. It's already in my heart. Elevated him to the status of an expert.

And for experts who specialize in antiques. Everyone is still quite respectful, because in the future, maybe when they will be able to deal with people.

You must know that such an expert is very difficult to make friends, sometimes everyone has an antique in their hands, and when they can't make up their minds, they want to find such an expert to help identify it, which is not something that can be done with money. Even if you want to get to someone's door, it's hard.

Previously, the Ma Gongzi said that this painting had been appraised by Mr. Wang Jiulin, a Chinese expert master. But in the end, the conclusion was ambiguous, because Mr. Wang Jiulin could not conclude whether the painting was genuine or not. In fact, this is not surprising, because the paintings of Bada Shanren became popular in China relatively late, and people have not paid much attention to them before. Another very important reason is that most of the paintings of Bada Shanren after he changed his name to Bada Shanren were before the founding of New China. has been lost overseas because of the freehand nature of the subject matter of his paintings. It is very close to the Impressionism in Western painting, so his paintings are very popular with Westerners, so in the war years before the founding of New China, Westerners were wantonly searching for his works in China, and many of his fine paintings have been lost overseas in that era. So much so that in China, there are not many genuine works that can learn from his paintings, and even Mr. Wang Jiulin has not seen a few ink freehand paintings of the Bada Shanren, so he does not dare to judge the authenticity of this painting. This point is also described in the autobiography left by Mr. Wang Jiulin after his death! ”

Jin Muchen's words were specially prepared for Ma Gongzi's previous doubts, and this is one of the main reasons why the organizers and the people who came to participate in the auction before this painting have been uncertain.

Wang Jiulin is a well-known master of art appraisal in modern China, although his own achievements in artistic creation are not very high, but he is very successful in art appraisal.

Before his death, he was one of the famous appraisers of the Palace Museum, because he was born in Lingnan, so he still has a very good ability to appreciate the works of some artists in ancient southern China.

When Yuemei was collecting this "Lake Stone and Two Birds", she asked him to do an appraisal, but that was in the early eighties of the last century.

At that time, he was not the only one in charge of appraising this painting, but also several well-known professors of Cantonese and American beauty who were in charge of appraising with him.

However, it was because there were too few works by Zhu Tong after changing his name to Bada Shanren in China at that time, and they could not find a genuine work signed by Bada Shanren that could be used as a reference, so they did not dare to conclude that this painting was a real painting.

It is precisely because they can't get an answer that this "Two Birds on the Lake and Stone" collected by Yuemei has always been a more controversial painting in China.

In fact, when it comes to the appraisal of the works of the Bada Shanren, the British, the Americans, and the Japanese are all connoisseurs, because in several museums in their country, there are many genuine ink and wash freehand paintings after Zhu Tong changed his name to Bada Shanren.

When Jin Muchen visited museums in the United States before, he had seen several authentic works signed by Bada Shanren, and even saw an analysis report by a female archaeological doctor in the United States who specifically focused on the characteristics of Bada Shanren's paintings, so he could tell the characteristics of so many Bada Shanren's works.

He now raised the question of Wang Jiulin's identification, this is another challenge to a top senior in the antique world, if someone else says this, then it will definitely meet the ridicule of everyone.

But now that he pointed to this painting, he actually said so many doorways, and what he said was the truth, and now no one dared to laugh at him for not being able to do anything.

Because of what he said, basically every sentence was to the point, and even said a lot of points to determine whether a painting is genuine Bada Shanren, and these people didn't know before.

Looking at these people with a hint of admiration, Jin Muchen also became more and more proud, young people, after all, they are all vanity, as soon as he was happy, he decided to popularize a little more knowledge about the works of Bada Shanren to these local tyrants.

"If you want to know whether a work is the authenticity of the Bada Shanren, there are actually a few tricks, one is to look at the birds he painted or encounter the characteristics of the image. Another point is to look at the spatial layout of his paintings, which pay special attention to the position of a few objects in two-dimensional space. To put it bluntly, it is to be able to make full use of the blank, that is, the so-called "counting white as black" by the predecessors. At the same time, he can also fully mobilize the role of inscriptions, signatures, and seals in the layout, such as balance, symmetry, density, and virtuality. Before he created a painting, he had a general plan, and every bit he left on the paper played a pivotal role in the layout. Not much, not much, not extravagant, not frugal. The center of gravity of this position divides the picture into four large spaces, each of which is different in size, balanced and varied. Since the bird on the tip of the stone is on the right and the head is facing to the left, the inscription is stamped on the left, which makes the empty background suddenly active, and visually plays a role in breaking through the balance and enriching the content. From here, we can see that he uses the pen the most economical and the composition is the simplest. He is using his pen to sketch the images in his mind, which are completely jumped out of the accumulated experience of his life, like a ray of light, fleeting and must be grasped quickly. This kind of charm that can be grasped at a glance has not been skillfully achieved among the tens of thousands of painters in ancient China......"

Jin Muchen's praise was actually all taken from before, he had seen the analysis report of the American female archaeological doctor on the paintings of the Bada Shanren.

If he was allowed to experience the subtleties of Bada Shanren's paintings by himself, he might have to realize it for a while, but at this time, it did not prevent him from bluffing people with other people's words.

I have to say that these are a bit mysterious, and there are very straightforward words, the effect is very good, and it can be said that it immediately shocked the audience.

Now his image in the eyes of everyone is getting taller and taller, no wonder people can pick up such a big leak, dare to love people This really understands!

Otherwise, who can point to a work of Bada Shanren and say so many things?

It is no wonder that Westerners respect the works of these Bada Shanren so much, and feel that his paintings really coincide with the masters of Western painting in many places, such as the scenery of this picture, and the spatial division of the picture by using the subject matter of painting, which Western painters are very particular about.

Let's talk about the artistic conception of his painting. We have been saying that Bada Shanren is the originator of Chinese ink freehand painting, but what is freehand painting? If you look at this painting, you can realize that you look at the carving of the stone, which is concise and powerful, and you look at this stone like an old man with his eyes looking down, looking at the little bird on the slope looking for food and not seeming anything. And on the top, the bird standing on the tip of the stone staring with its eyes and mouth open seems to be intimidating the stone, so don't think anything wrong about the bird on the slope, or it may be jealous that the bird on the slope can be protected by the stone. In particular, the unstable stone and two birds standing on one foot appear in the same picture, as if the two birds had just fought and circled up and down the stone. All of them show the instability of the situation and the helplessness of the little bird on the tip of the stone. Therefore, what is expressed in this painting can be completely left to the viewer to imagine for himself, so as to enlarge the capacity of thought. The characteristics of such paintings coincide with the themes expressed in Western Impressionist paintings, which are all ...... stimulate people's divergent thinking."

As soon as Jin Muchen finished speaking, all the people present had already grown their mouths......

Oh! I see! It turns out that this is the essence of ink freehand painting! (To be continued......)
