Nick's intention to call was very clear, and the question was also very direct, as the museum's appraiser, Nick waited for the phone to call, and he didn't even have the effort to make a noise, and when he heard Fang Yi's voice, he immediately asked, "Why are you so sure that the one in the hands of the Japanese is a forgery?" ”。

Fang Yi only went to the interest of this old friend's appraiser, and didn't talk to him too much, to put it bluntly, Fang Yi couldn't express this thing too clearly, he could point out the differences in some places and explain the vernacular, but for Fang Yi, he didn't know how many questions he had to answer the old man, so he just let him figure it out by himself. It also happened to let him train his brain to prevent Alzheimer's disease or something.

It is important to distinguish whether this work is genuine or not, and it is important to rely on an intuition of oneself, which is a kind of intuition that can only be formed through a long period of immersion in Rubens's work. With this feeling, a comparison of the two works reveals which one is most in line with the artist's continuous painting habits.

Whether it's a painter or something, first of all, he must be a person, and if he is a person, he will have some unique habits and preferences, to be honest, if he doesn't have something in his head, Fang Yiyi thinks that the Japanese put the real work there, and the one that was photographed is a copy. It's not because it's just an ordinary cognitive habit, and I usually don't even think that what is marked as authentic in a museum will be fake!

"You just have to look at this work and compare it with the things in the Japan Pavilion, and maybe you'll understand!" Fang Yi sighed softly and said, "I already knew that the Japanese Pavilion was not genuine, but I didn't say it!" ”。

Nick immediately asked, "Why didn't you say that?" ”。

For Nick. Encountering and identifying fakes is not only your profession but also your hobby, and your greatest achievement comes from this. If Nick found out about the forgery, of course, he would be the first to say it, regardless of where the work was placed.

But Fang Yi didn't think so. As long as the fake has nothing to do with yourself, you can put it wherever you like! Fang Yi's main business is painting rather than appraisal, and Fang Yi's personality is a bit of a thing that has nothing to do with himself, so he naturally won't come out of this, and as for the fake paintings in the Japanese museum, he is even less interested in talking about it when it's okay.

"Why should I say that?" This is the answer Fang Yi gave.

Nick, who replied, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'll go over tomorrow with a few colleagues to take a good look at the real painting you said!" ”。 After saying that, Nick hung up the phone directly.

For Nick and his colleagues. Fang Yi is a humanoid identification machine, and he has never made a mistake until now, and what is even more awesome is that. As long as the painting is on Fang Yi's hand, fiddling with it like this for a while, you can determine the authenticity of everything without anything. This thing has been done for a long time, and Nick and these people have a kind of confidence that is almost blind to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi listened to the beep on the other end of the phone. I took the phone from my ear and glanced at it: "Why is the old man still such a character." It's not the same as before! ”。

In the following time, Fang Yi finally settled down, and there was no phone to harass him.

Nick came over in a hurry, took three or four old men to Los Angeles the next night, and did not bother Fang Yi directly booked the hotel by himself, rested for a day, and several people went directly to the exhibition hall to see the work.

Nick didn't inform Fang Yi, it doesn't mean that Fang Yi didn't know that they had arrived in the exhibition hall of the October Exhibition, for old friends to come here. No matter how Fang Yi said it, he had to do a little bit of landlord friendship, not to mention that Nick also taught himself a lot of things about appreciating paintings. Without Nick, he wouldn't have been able to do anything like Pissarro himself. Anyway, the friendship between the two is really not shallow, Fang Yi is going to look at his old friend, and invite Nick to his house for a meal or something.

At this time, it was not yet the October exhibition, Fang Yi rode his horse directly, and it was estimated that the time was almost when the museum opened, so he rode in the direction of the exhibition hall.

When he arrived at the horse path outside the exhibition hall, Fang Yi had to slow down his horse's speed, because at this time, there were many young people living in the art village walking on the horse track, and the speed was too fast, and sometimes it was easy to bump into others. And I have to say hello to these people from time to time.

In the art village, horseback riding now seems to have become a sport, and a large number of young artists who used to rarely exercise now seem to rely on riding horses every day to maintain their health. As a result, renting horses every day in the village has become a business, not to mention the nearby places where horses are kept. Now there is a small enclosure near the October exhibition hall, which is a storage place for people who come to the exhibition hall on horseback to see the exhibition.

When Fang Yi arrived at the exhibition hall, he naturally kept his docile gentleman here, and directly handed over the reins in his hand to the staff.

As soon as he entered the exhibition hall, Fang Yi went directly to the hall on the second floor where his paintings were hung to find Nick. It wasn't a hard time to find, and as soon as I entered the hall, I saw Nick and two or three familiar faces, standing in front of the work and looking at and discussing, but in addition to these familiar faces, there were two Asian faces standing next to them.

Fang Yi didn't pay much attention to it, and walked directly towards his old friend, and when he was a meter or two away from a few people, he lowered his voice a little: "Nick! ”。

Nick turned his face sideways and saw Fang Yi directly, smiled at Fang Yi, and then stretched out his hand and shook his old friend: "Why did you come here today?" ”。

"You don't say a word to me when you come here!" Fang Yi smiled and said, "Let me invite you to the house as a guest!" ”。

Nick said happily: "Didn't you say that you can just look at this work and compare it, and you can see it, if you don't understand this matter, what mood will we have there to eat!" ”。

The two were chatting here, Fang Yi's eyes shifted to the faces of the two Asians next to him, and when he looked at the expressions of the two, he knew that among the handful of people he had always disliked, there were now two people standing in front of him. You can tell at a glance the anger of the Japanese, although Fang Yi has never been in contact with the little devil. But now it has been determined that the two and a half old men are little devils.

Nick didn't care if Fang Yi liked any Japanese or not, and saw that Fang Yi's gaze shifted to the body and mind of the two, and immediately introduced Fang Yi and said, "These two are Japanese experts. It is also very famous in oil painting appraisal! This is Mr. Inukai Hiroshi, and this one is Mr. Goro Matsumotohara! ”。

Fang Yi was stunned when he heard the name of the first person, and he couldn't help but think of dog breeding? Is there still this surname in Japan? This surname is really forward-looking.

"I have asked Mr. Fang's name for a long time, and it is a great honor to see him today!" After listening to what Nick said, Inuyang Hiroshi and Matsumoto Hara Goro immediately gave Fang Yi a ninety-degree bow, and then stretched out two hands to Fang Yi, which seemed to be very polite.

Since people are polite. Although Fang Yi was unhappy in his heart, he still smiled on his face, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two little devils with low eyebrows. The mouth is not painful to say the kind words of a long-term admiration and a long-term hearing of the name!

I don't want to say anything to the two little devils. Fang Yi shifted the topic to Nick: "Do you see any difference between the two?" ”。

Looking at the fine sweep of the work in the Japanese Pavilion next to Nick and the others, Fang Yi asked directly.

Nick thought for a moment and said, "I can see the difference, but I'm not sure this one is the real thing, maybe it will take me a while to figure it out!" ”。

"Mr. Fang! How did you tell that this one is genuine? Inukai Hiroshi listened to what Nick said. Immediately asked Fang Yi.

Fang Yi felt that this thing was really nothing to keep secret: "You have compared the two works more than once these days, right?" ”。

looked at the two little devils and nodded, looking teachable. Fang Yi continued: "So what subtle differences do you see between the two works? How many are there? After saying this, Fang Yi reached out and casually clicked on a difference on the canvas, and then said, "What do you think is the difference between the same place in this fine sweeping work?" ”。

Hearing Fang Yi say this, the few people next to him focused their eyes on the place Fang Yi said, and after looking at it for a while, Nick seemed to understand a little.

The first to speak out was not Nick, but the little devil Inu Yanghong, a little devil in his fifties, nodded and said: "Although the pen is very natural and smooth, it always feels like there is no such one." Although the one hanging on the wall seems to be a little inadequate, what does the gentleman mean is that it is this inadequacy that makes this work more appropriate? ”。

"That's it!" Fang Yi couldn't help but praise this canine comrade when he heard it. I can bring these out as soon as I say this, and this person himself has two brushes for his own appraisal level.

Speaking of which, we should understand that it used to take a long time to paint an oil painting, and during this time, the painter's mood will also change, and there will be times when he is happy and when his feelings are low, so that not only the artist's life works have ups and downs, but also the same work will also be affected by the situation at that time, and some small parts that are out of standard will be retained. Think about it, it used to take a few months or two years to complete a work, or even several years for a big one, how can it be possible for people to maintain such a stable level, and a little flaw is also a flaw, which is understandable.

Hearing Fang Yi say this, Comrade Inukai began to frown, although he thought of this, but just by virtue of this, he could not make Comrade Inukai admit that the Japanese Pavilion was a copy, he hoped to find more conclusive evidence, and more convincing evidence.

I thought so in my heart, but the face of the dog did not show Xiàn, but raised his head and walked two steps in front of the painting, and carefully looked at the works on the wall.

Fang Yi chatted with Nick and two French experts here, and Fang Yi also said what kind of guest he was, but these old men didn't understand too much about these things that they didn't want to eat and drink before, so Fang Yi had to keep a few old men stupidly and continue to look at the paintings, and went home by himself.

I went home and had fun, but the next time the exhibition hall became more and more lively, many experts came to see this work, and then made their own voices, of course, there are really few, and there are really a lot of fakes for a while. (To be continued......)
