Wan Rongxuan is one of the most famous contemporary painters in China, and also one of the most internationally influential painters, at the age of 80, is the Taishan Beidou in the art world. Before his retirement, he has been serving as the president of CAFA and the chairman of the Chinese Artists Association. As an artist of the older generation, Wan Rong Xuan is a true master of art who is highly admired.

Hearing this surprise news, Lan Tianyu was also very excited, and said, "I'll go down immediately." ”

Putting down the phone, Lan Tianyu strode to the exhibition hall.

Walking into the exhibition hall, the first thing Lan Tianyu saw was an old man with gray hair but good spirits. The old man is thin, his face is clear, and there are already some age spots on his face, and he is standing in front of Master Xu Beihong's "Jiufang Gao", carefully appreciating it.

There were also seven or eight artists surrounding the old man, and they were all attracted by the "Jiufang Gao" in front of him.

Lan Tianyu strolled over and stood behind several people. Seeing that Mao Xiaoyu seemed to be about to speak, Lan Tianyu shook his head and whispered, "Don't disturb Wan Lao's appreciation, let's wait." ”

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and Master Wan Rongxuan extracted from the artistic conception of "Jiufang Gao" and said with emotion: "Mr. Xu Beihong once said, 'People must be arrogant, but they must be arrogant. In the old society, he used 'monopoly and obstinate behavior' to show his attitude towards the world and learning, which was a protest against the servile and flattering and the pursuit of the stinker. He painted wild horses with proud bones, rather than fat and smooth saddle horses, in order to show that he 'must have proud bones' human character. His intention in creating "Jiufang Gao" was to ridicule the ignorant talents of the establishment, and what was shown on the picture was the arrogance of Jiufang Gao. He once pointed at the clown standing behind Jiufangao with disdain and said, "This kind of stupid person is ridiculous, and putting on that posture is really annoying." "Jiufang Gao" is one of Mr. Xu Beihong's most important masterpieces, and it is also a matter of my heart to be able to see the authentic works here today. ”

"Master Xu Beihong is your mentor and friend, and "Jiufang Gao" can only be recognized as genuine by everyone after your personal appraisal. Wan Lao personally came to visit the preview exhibition of our ancient rhyme, which is a great honor for our ancient rhyme. Lan Tianyu's words were full of sincere respect.

"Wan Lao, this is the chairman of our ancient rhyme, Lan Tianyu and Mr. Lan." Mao Xiaoyu introduced it in a timely manner next to him.

"Your boss of Gu Yun is so young, it's good to be young! You can get "Jiufang Gao" back out and it is still so well preserved, I want to say 'thank you' to you. ”

Seeing the young, handsome, calm and atmospheric blue sky and rain, Wan Lao had a good impression of him and spoke very politely.

"Wan Lao's 'thank you', I would never dare to take it. Your great contribution to the development of modern art in China is not inferior to Mr. Xu Beihong, although I am not a professional in art, but I am also a painting lover, and my admiration for you is no worse than that of the students who graduated from CAFA. I don't dare to praise you for this small contribution. "Lan Tianyu is unusually humble.

Lan Tianyu's words are completely from the bottom of his heart, and with the experience of Wan Lao, he can naturally feel it. He has seen too many young people who are submissive in front of him, but it is rare to see a young man who is both humble and calm like Lan Tianyu.

Although he had just come into contact, Lan Tianyu left a deep impression on him, Wan Lao smiled and said: "I have made a small contribution, but I dare not compare myself to Mr. Beihong." Compared to Mr. Beihong, I just lived long enough. I'm just an ordinary old man who is retired at home, and what I hope to see most is that more talents can emerge in the art world. Although you are not a professional in art, it is also useful to make more people like and pay attention to the art of painting through the auction house. ”

Next, Mao Xiaoyu introduced several artists who accompanied Wan Lao to visit one by one.

Among these people, the one with the highest identity and artistic achievements is Master Fan Qingfeng. He is just over 50 this year, and he is not only one of Wan Lao's introductory disciples, but also the president of the Nanzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and the current vice chairman of the Provincial Artists Association. The others are either professors of the Nanzhou Academy of Fine Arts or famous painters in the province, and they are not ordinary people.

After carefully appreciating "Jiufang Gao", Wan Lao and others certainly did not miss masterpieces such as "Green Sky Wild House", and stayed for nearly an hour before the visit was completed.

Wan Lao and the others were about to leave, Lan Tianyu tried his best to stay: "Our ancient rhyme is a rare opportunity to receive Wan Lao and all the masters, in addition to the two baskets of hundred-year-old Pu'er that I am preparing to auction, there are just some leftovers, if the masters do not dislike it, please stay, how about tasting tea together?" ”

"If there is such a good thing, then I will definitely not leave. I've never tasted it, what does it taste like to be a hundred-year-old pu'er? Such a good opportunity must not be missed. Wan Lao readily agreed.

The allure of the 100-year-old Pu'er is indeed very great, and several other artists are also looking forward to it.

Under the guidance of Lan Tianyu, everyone came to his office together.

After everyone sat down, Lan Tianyu took out the Pu'er tea cake and prepared to make tea himself.

Wan Lao sat on the sofa and saw at a glance the "Second Ancestor Adjustment Diagram" that Lan Tianyu had just created. Originally, it was just a casual glance, but the strong Zen flavor contained in this painting surprised Boss Wan.

Fascinated by the painting, Wan Lao stood up and came to his desk to take a closer look.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became, the three paintings on the desk were all carefully appreciated, Wan Lao raised his head, looked up and down at the blue sky and rain again, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief, and after a while, he said: "The young man is really too modest, he actually coaxed me, an old man, if it weren't for this "Second Ancestor Tune Heart Diagram", I really thought you were just an amateur painting enthusiast." At such a young age, your achievements are so high, I can't think of anyone who can teach a disciple like you? ”

As early as when Wan Lao stood up and admired the "Second Ancestor Mind Diagram", several other people also discovered the extraordinary features of the three paintings on the desk. The maturity and sophistication and profound artistic conception revealed by these three paintings have attracted everyone's attention at the same time.

"Do you mean that the author of these three paintings is Mr. Lan? Mr. Lan is so young, this shouldn't be possible, right? The meaning of Wan Lao's words surprised Fan Qingfeng.

"Don't you see the 'Heavenly Rain' seal on it? If I'm not mistaken, the young man's name should be Blue Sky Rain, right? Wan Lao is very sure of his judgment
