Chapter 46: Van Gogh

Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye. Today is a crucial day for Su Yue and Li Qianqian!

Today is the weekend, and it is also the first day of the school's art exhibition that officially opens to the public.

Today's campus is much more lively than ever.

Not only teachers and students from various departments flocked to the exhibition, but also many people from outside the school who came to visit the art exhibition.

Everyone gathered at the entrance of the school's art gallery early and waited patiently for the official opening of the exhibition.

Su Yue and Li Qianqian came to the art museum early this morning, and the two of them stood in the exhibition area they were about to be responsible for, and they were seriously preparing for the work.

The part that Su Yue is responsible for introducing is several classic works by Van Gogh.

These include "Starry Night", "Sunflowers", "Night CafΓ©", "Starry Sky on the RhΓ΄ne", "Wheat Field with Crows" and many more.

Su Yue was wearing a uniform black and white uniform of the art museum, wearing a walkie-talkie behind her waist, and her hair was neatly pinned behind her ears.

Although she had made very thorough preparations in advance, all the information that needed to be introduced had been firmly memorized in her head. But after all, this was Su Yue's first attempt to do such a job, so she was inevitably still a little nervous.

But in the midst of this nervous emotion, there is a hint of excitement. She is looking forward to her performance today and hopes that she can do her job perfectly.

Seeing that the exhibition was about to officially start, Su Yue first took a quick deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then greeted the visitors who were about to walk in with a generous and elegant smile.

After a while, people came to this exhibition area one after another.

Some of them are classmates and teachers from their own school, some are students from other schools, and some are office workers from outside the school.

In the same way, they all had expressions of surprise and satisfaction on their faces. Apparently they are very satisfied with the art show so far.

Su Yue enthusiastically introduced these classics of Van Gogh to them one by one.

From the expectant smiles on the visitors' faces and frequent nods, Su Yue could judge that her performance today was still remarkable.

Gradually, Su Yue became more and more comfortable with her own explanations, and she was able to deal with all kinds of questions raised by strangers more calmly.

At this time, he noticed that in a corner of the exhibition area, there was a boy who had been quietly staring at a certain painting on the wall.

He stood in front of the painting for a long time, as if he was fascinated by it. Judging by his tall, thin back and the way he dressed, it didn't seem like he was a student at the school.

The boy was wearing a neat white shirt, a pair of well-tailored suit trousers, and a black blazer.

He wore a pair of very cleanly polished dark brown vintage leather shoes on his feet, and his neat black hair looked like it had been specially groomed.

Su Yue judged that this person might be very curious about the Van Gogh work in front of him, so she decided to take the initiative to walk over and introduce him to him.

"Hello! Do you like Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with Ears Cut Out"? ”

Su Yue looked at the tall boy in front of her and asked enthusiastically.

Only then did the boy react, and he immediately withdrew from his deep thoughts.

Then he slowly turned his head and said to Su Yue with a smile:

"Yes, I love it."

"Huh? Cui Yu? ”

Su Yue looked at the familiar face in front of her with a surprised expression.

Isn't this the one at Mu Yao's birthday party, Cui Yu, who looks quite similar to Mu Yao?

"Hi, Su Yue. How are you? ”

Cui Yu also obviously looked surprised, and he immediately recognized Su Yuelai who was standing in front of him.

"Haha, fortunately. I'm here today as a guide. ”

"Such a coincidence? What a blessing, are you going to college here? ”

"Yes. But Cui Yu, why did you happen to come to the exhibition today? ”

"I'm a student at the university next door, and I just graduated last year. Because I am very interested in art, I have always had the habit of coming to your school to see various art exhibitions when I was in school. Recently, I heard that your school was going to hold a great art exhibition, so I couldn't wait to come here. ”

"I see."

Su Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then she remembered her responsibilities as a guide.

So she tried to guide Cui Yu and commented on the painting carefully:

"Cui Yu, why do you like Van Gogh's work so much?"

Cui Yu's face immediately showed a very happy expression, as if Su Yue's question was deeply satisfactory to him. So he said in an excited tone:

"This 'Self-Portrait with Ears Cut Out' is one of my favorites of all Van Gogh's works. It is said that after Van Gogh broke with his best friend Gauguin, Gauguin left in a rage. Van Gogh couldn't stop his departing friend, and he couldn't control the excitement in his heart, so he impulsively cut off his ear. ”

"But what exactly caused him to do this to himself, it seems that historians still have different views on this unsolved case."

Su Yue added on the side that she didn't expect Cui Yu to have such a deep understanding of Van Gogh's works.

"That's right. But it has also been suggested that it was Van Gogh and Gauguin who had a dispute over a prostitute, and then Gauguin cut off his own ear with a sword. However, many scholars who are currently studying Van Gogh are still coming up with more latest evidence to find ways to restore the truth of this history. ”

Cui Yu seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and he didn't talk much, but now he suddenly started talking.

"You know so well, that's amazing!"

Su Yue couldn't help but praise that Cui Yu's understanding of this work was richer than the information in the introduction manual she got.

"It's over, Su Yue."

However, Cui Yu still seemed to be unsatisfied, and he couldn't help but stare at the work in front of him again and savor it seriously.

Su Yue couldn't help but be deeply infected by his dedication and enthusiasm for art. followed Cui Yu's gaze and carefully observed this work.

Van Gogh in the painting, his forehead is tilted high upward, and his hooked nose is flanked by deeply sunken cheeks. The triangular asymmetrical face and the prominent cheekbones give people an impressive feeling.

This self-portrait should be a true portrayal of Van Gogh's psychology and personality. It's amazing how unabashedly he was able to reveal his heart. ”

Su Yue seemed to be deeply attracted by this self-portrait, and couldn't help but talk to herself.

At this time, Cui Yu couldn't help but follow Su Yue's words and said:

"This is the most touching thing about this work, this extreme and perverted beauty!"
