"The president will give a medal to a painter?"
Jin Muchen's eyes widened, he really couldn't believe that the United States, which has always flaunted freedom and democracy, also plays the face project?
"Of course, every two to three years, some painter, or other category of artist, gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom, or the Congressional Medal!"
Helen smiled and said to Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen couldn't help but scold.
"Those politicians know the art of a fart!"
"Hehe, it's true that a lot of them don't really know much about art, but they just need to know that these artists can influence a lot of people, and these people will affect their votes, and that's enough."
Rub, let's talk about it, it turns out that the root is here!
It turns out that in the United States, you painters have to stand in line, and if you accidentally stand on the wrong side, hehe, I'm sorry, no matter how good your painting is, the National Gallery will not collect your work.
In this way, even if you are famous in the rivers and lakes, in the eyes of the official and official supporters, you are also a grassroots in the rivers and lakes, and you are not a famous and orthodox family!
Helen explained a few more words to Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen finally understood the way here, politicians give awards to painters or artists, which is completely mutually beneficial.
Politicians need these artists to help them spread their influence so they can get more votes in elections.
Artists, on the other hand, need this official paper document to establish their status in the rivers and lakes.
So this is actually in the bones. It's a deal.
"Okay, let's stop talking about that, let's concentrate on the paintings, shall we? Now that Jeffrey's painting is finished, let's take a good look at Anthony's work. ”
Jin Muchen said to Helen. About the Tao in this, it's probably enough to know, too much entanglement is pointless, anyway, they are here for these paintings today, after seeing Jeffrey's paintings, he wants to take a good look. This Anthony's painting.
The Fairy Tale Gallery has launched two painters with distinctive characteristics at once, and the painting style is still the opposite kind, obviously trying to create a topic, and even with ulterior motives to choose a winner from between the two. Once one of the winners is invited to a touring exhibition in the United States, their investment is considered a success.
And unlike Jeffrey, this Anthony. Wise's painting style is completely realistic.
As I said before, because of the strong discourse power of the West, the elites in these regions like the impressionist style of painting to highlight their B style. In this way, Impressionism became the mainstream of the oil painting school.
The realists, on the other hand, gradually became a niche and marginal faction. And the fight between these two factions has never stopped.
The two schools of painting not only competed with each other for painters and paintings, but also attacked each other, and this kind of struggle began in the 19th century. It continues to this day.
And in the twenty-first century, the style of realist painting. It was attacked by Impressionism as an artistic imitation, mainly because of modern photography. The advent of photographic technology.
Don't you like to be realistic? Could it be that you can still have photos or film films?
Therefore, in the mouth of the impressionist artists, the realist paintings cannot be called oil paintings at all, but can only be called imitations of art.
And when Jin Muchen and Helen saw this Anthony painting, their first feeling was, those impressionist painters, as if they were right, where is this oil painting? Isn't that just a photo?
Most of his paintings are based on female models, and the female models in these paintings are very clear, if it weren't for some ink traces in the corners of the paintings, it would be really difficult for you to tell whether this is an oil painting or a zoomed-in photo.
But when Jin Muchen held his breath and admired his paintings, he immediately noticed the difference in his paintings, and his paintings seemed to have a kind of magic that could make people think.
At first glance, you will think that it is a photo, but when you look at it, you will notice the difference between the painting and the photo.
In one photo, the image is flattened, the relationship between the colors is reduced, and the shadows look stiff.
And Anthony's paintings, if you look closely, you can see the subtleties of the image and the tone, which is something that the camera and many people can't see.
And he can draw this subtlety, and the reason why Anthony's paintings are realistic is that his pictures are smooth, and only if you understand his paintings, you can enter the world of his paintings.
This feeling is very wonderful, even shocking, so much so that after Jin Muchen looked at a few Anthony's paintings, he actually had a feeling that he couldn't stop.
He even had the feeling that whenever he saw Anthony's paintings, it was as if he was there, that he was the one sitting behind the drawing board and looking at the model.
Helen apparently didn't understand much about Anthony's paintings.
In fact, her main purpose today is to invest in artworks, as for the interpretation of paintings and the prediction of appreciation potential, this work is, of course, to be completed by Jin Muchen.
At this time, she saw that Jin Muchen had not spoken for a long time, and her expression was also sad and happy, so she couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong? What do you see? Is this Anthony's painting that good? ”
"Well, how do you say that? His paintings are really amazing, and I was blown away. You look here, you look closely, and you can see that this Anthony started painting in a very liberal way, he used spots to calculate the size and proportions. He then uses a clear undertone to grasp the tones and values. The painting of this process looks somewhat abstract and is composed of a large area of color shape structure. He uses a broad, diffuse flat painting method, often placing a bare oil canvas in the middle. Then the open space is slowly filled, creating a breathing lattice, like the structure of a painting. This approach seems to be like Cézanne's. But Cézanne valued the discontinuity of his touch, while Antony's approach was compact so that the colors were more precise. ”
This is not that Jin Muchen can be shown, but he has a feeling, during this period of time about the knowledge of oil painting, at this time he finally saw the results, for Western oil painting, he now has a breakthrough, entry.
"The miracle happened in the final stage. As he continues to paint, he works on everything precisely, adjusting the color relationships and adding flexible highlights to perfect each element. Under the sharp and loose interaction, the picture slowly brightens up and appears to breathe. This is what makes his paintings look so realistic. Unlike static images, his paintings can have a certain subtle biological energy that can make people think, and if you look at it for a long time, you will have a sense of immersion. ”
Jin Muchen gave his own evaluation, although Jeffrey's paintings were not bad before, they couldn't bring him such a shock.
Therefore, his judgment of these two painters has been tilted at this time, and that is Anthony. Wise, a less favored realist painter, is more powerful, and his paintings have more potential for appreciation.
Helen listened to Jin Muchen's explanation, looked at the oil paintings in front of her, and seemed to understand something.
She had never studied oil painting before, although she received an aristocratic elite education since she was a child, but in terms of art, it was mainly related to music, and she really didn't know much about oil painting.
This time, I also happened to have some spare money in my hand, and I wanted to invest in some artworks.
That's why I found Jin Muchen, who had half a bucket of water, but I didn't expect Jin Muchen to talk to her so much.
Although this Anthony. Wise's paintings, she didn't see much of it, what was so good, but Jin Muchen's words, she understood, he was suing him, compared to Jeffrey. Watts, he's more optimistic, Anthony. Wise!
"Thank you, I really didn't expect to meet a soulmate here."
A slightly hoarse voice rang in their ears.
The two turned their heads to look, only to see a pale, long-haired bearded man just standing beside them, this person because of the full beard, so it is impossible to tell how old he is, but his body is very thin, it is easy to give people a feeling of weakness.
"You are?"
"Hello, I'm Anthony. Wise, I'm glad you admired my paintings and gave me such a high rating! ”
The beard on the thin man's face cracked open, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and Jin Muchen held the man's hand with a slight surprise.
He didn't expect that when he was looking at the painting, he would be able to meet the main owner.
Helen, on the other hand, was a lady and did not get involved.
"Your drawings are really amazing and they give me a lot of shock."
"Thank you......"
Anthony and Jin Muchen exchanged a few polite words, and then they were dragged away by the organizers, and the charity auction was about to start, as the organizers, of course, before the start of the shooting, the painters would be asked to go up and say a few words.
Jin Muchen looked at Anthony's back thoughtfully, this Anthony's painting is indeed very good, but he doesn't feel very good, not that he is polite, moral or anything, but his body.
When he shook hands with him just now, Jin Muchen could detect that his hands were cold and slippery, and he was stunned at that time, this was not like the hands that a man in his thirties should have.
When he looked up again, don't look at this guy's pale face, but he could see an obvious black gas from this guy's hall, at first he thought he was dazzled, but after looking at it for a while, he confirmed that he was not mistaken, this guy is sick!
It seems that this golden eye not only has the effect of distinguishing jewelry, but also seems to be able to tell a person's physical health...... (To be continued).
