**************

There are a total of forty paintings on display in the gallery, and according to the gallery, this is Jeffrey. Watt and Anthony. Wise's paintings, twenty each, will be sold this evening.

Both painters are now well-known in the United States, and they belong to the more promising painters in the middle ages, and they are also favored by many people, so there are a lot of people who come to the show tonight.

Because everyone knows the significance of this party, this may be the last opportunity for everyone to buy the works of the two painters at a relatively cheap price.

Once the fairytale gallery is successful, it may not be long before the prices of the works of these two painters skyrocket.

In the art world of the West, especially the oil painting world, it is very different from that in China.

Domestic painters, especially those Chinese painters, may paint for a lifetime, and their works may not be recognized by everyone, even if they become famous, there are only a few paintings that can be sold at a good price.

Even when some painters die, their works may gradually be accepted, and the price will slowly rise.

The rules of the Western oil painting industry are a bit different, where some young painters will sign contracts with galleries, and then the galleries will pool their resources and use all kinds of means to hype these painters, like packaging stars.

As long as their hype is successful, then the works of these painters are worth it. will soar rapidly, and their status in the oil painting world will be quickly recognized.

Even these painters, who are only in their twenties and thirties, are the works they have worked after they became famous. It is not impossible to be auctioned for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, and such a situation is unlikely compared to the domestic Chinese painting industry, especially the domestic Chinese painting industry.

"The Fairy Tale Gallery has poured a lot of resources into these two people. Jeffrey and Anthony are as famous today as they are today, which is inseparable from the strong support of the Fairy Tale Gallery. For now, Jeffrey. Watt's fame, than Anthony. Wise was a little taller, after all, in the style of his Russian itinerant school. It is more popular now because it is closer to the impressionist paintings of Western Europe. He himself was even recognized by Fei Xin himself, and was invited by Fei Xin to attend a symposium at the Fei Xin Taoist Art Museum. And his work is also very popular in the American Southwest, which may have something to do with his hometown, and his work has even been invited to the prestigious Prixde West International Exhibition at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. He has been featured in American artists and Western Art magazines, so in the competition between the two, Jeffrey is one step ahead and more popular among oil painting lovers. ”

Helen was by Jin Muchen's side. While admiring Jeffrey on the wall. Watt's paintings, while introducing Jin Muchen.

Jin Muchen was silent, and Helen couldn't tell what he was thinking. How did she know that Jin Muchen was also pretending to be profound, what Helen just said, he hadn't found it on Google and Wikipedia before.

He really doesn't know much about Jeffrey and Anthony's status in the current oil painting world in the United States, but he only knows about it. Both are up-and-comers, but who is one step ahead between the two. Who is more favorable, he really doesn't know.

In order not to show Xiàn too wolf bèi next. Jin Muchen could only focus on these Jeffrey paintings on the wall.

Jeffrey's style belongs to the style of the Russian Itinerant School, what can be said about this style?

Oil painting first emerged in several Western European countries, and it was not until the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that it was gradually regarded by many wealthy people as a work of art worth investing in, an antique that could be passed down to their families.

At that time, Western oil painting was gradually divided into two factions, one was the impressionist painters led by Monet and Picasso, and the style of their paintings, I believe many people can know, is completely vague, and different people will have different understandings and ideas when they look at their paintings.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of pretending to be profound, leading to reverie style, after reading such a vague, like a footcloth-like painting, people with divergent thinking can think of many different pictures, and people who like to pretend to be B naturally like this style, because this can better reflect their B high rank.

The other row is made up of Mihai from Central Europe. The style of hyper-realism represented by Monkács is to use the most realistic painting techniques to reflect the picture, so that the realistic scene remains on the canvas in the most realistic way.

And this style is more sought after by those who have a simple personality and are self-made industrialists.

Of course, because the economy of Western Europe has always been strong, where the rich people have the right to speak, the style they like quickly became popular, and Impressionism began to be popular in the oil painting world.

The followers of realism are more niche.

At that time, the Russian oil painting world was more flattering, to put it bluntly, they liked to follow the footsteps of the Western European art world, but after all, they were located in Eastern Europe, so they were influenced by the style of many realist painters.

As a result, some Russian oil painting masters combined the impressionism of Western Europe with the oil painting style of realism in Eastern Europe to form the style of the Russian Itinerant School.

That is to say, there are collections and releases in the paintings, which have both the wild and uninhibited and chaotic of the impressionists, and the characteristics of the realists who highlight the truth and control the degree.

This style of painting is very rare, because you have to master a very good balance point in chaos and control, once this balance point is not well controlled, then the whole painting will lack fluidity, and even be difficult to understand.

And this Jeffrey. Watt does a very good job of this, his paintings have a good grasp of the balance between chaos and control, and the fluidity is very prominent.

For example, in his portrait of Miss Angela, the lady's face in it is very clear and looks very refreshing, but the roses in the background behind her seem very ethereal and not so real.

This is a perfect combination of control and chaos, which can not only highlight the central characteristics of the subject of the painting, but also arouse people's imagination.

There is also the words of the Indian chief, the face of the same Indian chief is very clear, and the holiday cabin behind him and the small lake by the forest in the distance are blurred, giving people a very strong sense of quickly switching back and forth between the real and the unreal, which can bring a very strong visual impact to the viewer.

"Well, it's really characteristic......"

Jin Muchen told Helen his feelings again, so that he would not appear too shriveled in the whole process of appreciation, and would be treated as a straw bag that was indiscriminately filled.

"Indeed, as you said, don't you say that I really don't experience such feelings? Hehe, it looks like I've got a nice guy in the mix. ”

Helen's words made Jin Muchen roll his eyes, these oil paintings really have to be people who understand art to understand the meaning of the painter, otherwise these paintings look like chewing wax in the eyes of people who don't understand it at all.

He is also because he has recently made up a lot of knowledge about oil painting, and he can say so much in combination with his own opinions.

And this time, his golden eye, although he did not detect any jewels in these paintings, but it allowed him to observe the subtleties, and some of the small details on the paintings that the painter was very careful about, if you are not a professional art connoisseur, you can't see it at all, but you can't escape his eyes.

This is the main reason why he was able to express so many feelings after looking at several of Jeffrey's paintings.

I really didn't expect that this golden eye could not only see the jewels, but also bring such benefits to himself, Jin Muchen was secretly refreshed.

"Actually, this time the fairy tale gallery put Jeffrey. Watts, and Anthony. Wise pushed to the front together, which also meant that they would compete. For painters, if they want to become famous, their paintings must be recognized by consumers, be collected by the National Gallery, or be awarded by the President, or by Congress, even if they are officially recognized. The price of their works will immediately increase several times, or even more than ten times, in the market. The painter himself will soon become the darling of the festival and will be worth a lot. Their paintings are not only enjoyed by collectors, but also by private museums and galleries. They hope that these two painters, or at least one of their paintings, can be invited to participate in the American Traveling Exhibition organized by the American Society of Artists, and once they can receive such an invitation, then their paintings will be officially recognized and collected by the National Gallery, which is a sure thing. If you say a few good words about the president, it is also a sure thing to get the president's commendation...... With the recognition of the country and the president, then your status in the rivers and lakes will be established! ”

Helen's words stunned Jin Muchen when he heard it.

what! What the hell is going on? Doesn't it mean that American artists like to pursue free individuality? Why is there such a routine as Zhao'an here?

Originally, he thought that units like the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the Culture and Art Department were just the characteristics of the Celestial Empire, Made, I didn't expect that the Americans would also play this set?

And these guys take this very seriously, as if only when they are officially recognized, can they be regarded as truly establishing the status of the rivers and lakes!

These American painters are really hard enough, it is really not so easy to become famous, if the work is not officially recognized, no matter how good your painting is, it will be in vain. (To be continued).
