The New Year is coming in a few days, and Fang Yi doesn't need to be too busy with the New Year, as long as he goes home for two days. Chinese New Year! For twenty-year-old Fang Yi, there was really not much fun.

Staying in the studio, holding a paintbrush in one hand, carefully came to a thin layer of over-dye on the canvas, and observed that the under-layer color showed the sense of color gradation through this layer of over-dyeing. Now the canvas is a palm-sized small color block mixed with various colors, some of which are very thick, and some of which are very random and improvised.

At this time, both Qu Gu and Wei Jin have gone home. It's almost the New Year, only Zhang Xu will come to Fang Yi's studio every other day, for fear that Fang Yi will be half-crazy when he creates.

"Xiaoyi!" The voice of teacher Liu Hongshuo came from outside the courtyard.

Hearing the teacher's voice, Fang Yi put down the paintbrush in his hand and walked outside the door of the studio. I was about to open the door, and found that the teacher had opened the door bolt and walked in, and the round head and the flat head were surrounding Liu Hongshuo, happily wagging their tails.

"Teacher!" Fang Yi looked at the teacher and smiled and asked, "You didn't prepare New Year's goods with your wife?" My sister's family is coming back, why don't you prepare something? ”。

Hearing Fang Yi mention his daughter, and the little grandchildren are going to come back with him, Liu Hongshuo's face showed a warm smile, his two eyes narrowed with a smile, and he reached out and touched his round head and said: "Your master and wife are going to handle this matter, I will shake off the shopkeeper, and if I do it, it will add to the chaos!" When you come to the house in the third or fourth year of junior high school, everyone will be lively and lively together! ”。

"Hey! I'll be here soon," Fang Yi said with a smile.

Liu Hongshuo looked at Fang Yi's thinner figure, the smile on his face faded again, and he frowned slightly: "Come with me to the living room, I have something to talk to you about!" After speaking, he raised his legs and walked towards Fang Yi's living room.

Fang Yi followed behind the teacher and asked with a smile, "Is there something you have that you can't say in the studio?" ”。

Liu Hongshuo ignored Fang Yi and walked directly to the bench in the studio and sat down. Then he handed Fang Yi a book under his arm.

Fang Yi took the book very curiously, and looked at the name on the cover of the book: "The Mean"!

I flipped it open and saw it: Zi Chengzi said: It is not biased and not easy to be mediocre. The right way in the world. The mediocrity is the theorem of the world .......

When I read this, I looked at my teacher with a smile and asked, "What do you mean by giving me this book?" This is obviously something within the scope of the four olds! ”。

"You know what! Liu Hongshuo glanced at his students and said: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, what Confucius and Confucianism are bastards, harming China for thousands of years and something!" I read the book crookedly and complained that the person who wrote the book was not good! ”。

Speaking of this, he explained to Fang Yi: "Zi said: The Tao is not far away, people are far away from the Tao, and people are far away, not the Tao." It means that the Tao exists in people, and the Tao is also in life! ”。

After listening to the teacher's words, Fang Yi was even more confused. Look at your teacher with your eyes open. Scratching his head and trying to ask a question, he was pressed back by the teacher's raised hand. In my heart, I feel that the teacher is really strange today, why did he suddenly remember to tell himself these things? Isn't it true that if you don't paint in the future, everyone will change to Chinese studies?

Liu Hongshuo stretched out his hand and clicked on the book handed to Fang Yi and said: "These books contain a lot of principles for being a man, and Confucianism is not a dross for cultivating qi. When will self-cultivation and family rule the country and the world become dross? These things can never go out of style! ”。

Looking at Fang Yi for a moment, he was stunned and said, "You may think, we are artists, just paint well!" See what's the use of these things! No matter what profession you are in. Being a human being is the most basic one! ”。

Fang Yi listened to the teacher's words, and couldn't help but open his mouth and ask, "What about the personality of art?" ”。

Liu Hongshuo said with a smile: "To be honest, art has nothing to do with personality. You don't have to be a maverick to be a great artist! ”。

"I know this," Fang Yi listened to the teacher's words. After a moment of contemplation, he nodded and agreed.

Liu Hongshuo listened and glanced at Fang Yi and continued: "Matisse, Picasso and Dalí are known as the three most unique artists of the twentieth century. ”。

"Let's talk about Matisse first" Liu Hongshuo said directly: "He is a representative of the Fauvist faction, and some people call him the king of the Fauvism!" Judging from the style of painting, this person must be a maverick, but in fact, Matisse is a humble and elegant person! His story is not so much. It's not so maverick and attractive, but as a person, he's the most successful of the three! ”。

"If you look at Picasso, his cubist style and the realism shown in his works as a young man are really admirable! But he is too far behind Matisse in terms of human beings! ”。

Heard here. Fang Yi nodded again. But I really can't understand why my teacher would talk about this thing to me today. These three people Fang Yi now know a lot of Taoism, and Fang Yi also knows a lot about the story of the three people.

Liu Hongshuo said: "Every week, Picasso's son would bring his two children to visit him, but he often got the answer that the master was not there, that the master was working, that the master was resting, and so on. And Picasso's wife, Jacqueline, called it the sun! The master and the sun!? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hongshuo shook his head and said disdainfully: "Picasso lives in his own castle, looking down on everything from above!" He lived in the praise of his surroundings, in these respectful eyes and in the words of worship, Picasso lost the humanity of a husband, father and grandfather! Some critics say that his character comes from vows to his sister, which is nothing more than bullshit! ”。

Speaking of this, Liu Hongshuo stared at Fang Yi's eyes and said, "Picasso's granddaughter Marina once recalled the past. Every time her father took himself and her brother to see Picasso, Javalyn had to say "don't move anything!" The sun is coming down from the upper floors in no time! As a granddaughter, Marina went to her grandfather's house and shivered, walking only looking at the steps, for fear of making a mistake! And sometimes Picasso sat at the table and ate and drank. Although the two young grandsons and granddaughters were grumbling with hunger, they did not dare to come to their grandfather's table, and could only watch the gobbling grandfather eat and drink! Only once did the sun give his grandson and granddaughter a sweet treat in the leftovers, the only time! And Picasso called this sweet a beggar! And this master's pet goat can run around his house, and no one cares about urinating and defecating at will! ”。

Fang Yi scratched his head as he listened, and thought to himself: What does Lao Bi's bullshit have to do with me!

Liu Hongshuo didn't see the confusion in Fang Yi's eyes, and continued: "You can't even feed your own children!" Unpromising! There will be no success in the future! What a waste of my time! These are the words of Picasso to his son Paul. Under such blows again and again, Picasso's son, although tall, is submissive! Later, Picasso's granddaughter and grandson wrote to the sun countless times, wanting to see him. However, some letters were torn up by Jacqueline, and some letters Picasso didn't read at all! He doesn't want to care about the pain in his grandchildren's hearts, for this sun, his family is nothing more than a puppet at his disposal! ”。

"As for Dali, I won't mention it, if you grab something and paint it blue, you can say that you are an artist. The four words clown are just right for him! After speaking, he looked at Fang Yi's eyes and paused and asked, "How much do you want to be such a sun in your heart?" Want to be a master like Picasso? ”。

Fang Yi listened to the teacher's words and was directly stunned for two or three seconds before opening his mouth and saying, "I won't treat my relatives like this!" Picasso is rubbish from the point of view of his loved ones! ”。

Liu Hongshuo smiled at Fang Yi and asked, "Won't it?" Then he shook his head slightly: "Who knows what will happen in the future!" ”。

Liu Hongshuo took his eyes off Fang Yi's body, leaned on the back of the bench, gently knocked on the chair with his knuckles, and said, "When Zhou Tong showed me your painting for the first time. I am amazed at your expressiveness. Smooth and natural! Then I heard Zhou Tong say that you are still a senior in high school, and you came to Shiyi in order to improve your skills! At that time, you can come directly to Shiyi with a pack of cigarettes, and you have the courage and persistence! ”。

"But it didn't take long for you to disdain to look at Zhou Tong's paintings, and rarely commented on his paintings! In your heart, you can't look down on yourself! Now as your painting skills get higher and higher, what else is really eye-catching for you? The conceit and pride of your heart are eroding you positively. You can look down on these people. Because you are better than him, and now that your painting skills have shown signs of surpassing me, will you one day look down on me, an old man! You know that Picasso in his youth also had a lively and cheerful, optimistic and positive time. Would Picasso at that time think about what he did later? He couldn't think of it at the time, can you think of what will happen if you continue like this now? ”。

Liu Hongshuo said here and stood up: "You have a complete family and good friends, Qugu Zhang Xu These friends have been worried about you for the past few months, and they take turns to take care of you!" At the beginning, your wife was also going to come over, but I stopped you, I said that you are not really hungry, and when you are really hungry, you will naturally know how to eat! It's just that what I didn't expect was that these kids would be able to watch you for so long! I don't know what is happening in the road that can make your character slowly go to this extreme! ”。

After speaking, he walked to the door, then stood still, turned to look at Fang Yi sitting on the bench and said, "Painting is important, but there are more important things than painting in this world!" And no one likes a conceited, proud, arrogant person, sometimes even these people themselves don't like themselves! Think about what I'm saying! With that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Using Picasso as a metaphor with himself made Fang Yi feel frightened, but what made Fang Yi unbearable the most was the teacher's words, one day he would look down on the old man of the teacher! Fang Yi's feelings for Liu Hongshuo have surpassed the teacher-student relationship, to a kind of emotion similar to that between father and son, it is not in vain that Liu Hongshuo loves Fang Yi like a son, Fang Yi can naturally feel it, and this feeling is also reflected in his heart.

Sitting on the chair, Fang Yi began to reflect on the changes in his mentality over the past year, and then thought about Picasso's affairs, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became! For a whole day, I didn't pick up a pen to draw a stroke on the canvas, thinking about the teacher's words and examining the changes in myself during this time.

It wasn't until the evening that I picked up the book that the teacher had brought and flipped through it! Next, from the Chinese New Year to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Fang Yi did not start to draw another stroke.

Waiting for the sixth day of the new year, Fang Yi proposed to his teachers and parents that he wanted to travel abroad, when he first mentioned it, Yu Qin still disagreed, his son had never gone far away like this, but Fang Yi still persuaded his mother in the back.

With the consent of his family, Fang Yi sold his little Poussin for some money, and then took out a part of the 140,000 yuan he received, and scraped together enough money to replace the car with a jeep that was more suitable for the road.

The new jeep was loaded with only a few paint canvases, two or three books, and so on, with a round head and a flat head. I handed over the studio to a few friends of Qu Gu, so that they could come and take care of it when they had nothing to do, and of course they could also come to the studio to stay for a while. Then he drove around aimlessly in a jeep. (To be continued......)
