Such a large collector who has the ability to organize a special auction is the top player, and there are twenty or thirty categories of antiques, and each mastery takes a lifetime. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There are only a handful of people who can play to the end, and each of them is a well-known name in the industry.

Don't look at Xu Zhiyuan now that he has a little fame, and he has twenty or thirty million in his hand, but he can't even be considered to be in front of everyone who collects it! What is twenty or thirty million? I can't even afford to wash a pen in Ruyao!

Xu Zhiyuan stood up suddenly and said firmly: "It seems that my pace is faster!" Since there is a system, I want to become a household name in the antique circle within a year, and let Yan Hongyun's stinky girl kneel and lick! ”

This is Xu Zhiyuan's character, eat soft but not hard! The orphan's upbringing made him the most unbearable to be despised by others, no matter who it was, he had to prove to the other party that he was the real Maxima!

"Enter the system!"

Xu Zhiyuan packed up, closed the door, and directly entered the system, contacting Zhang Daqian to prepare for the acquisition of huge landscape works.

"Brother Xian wants a huge landscape?"

Zhang Daqian was stunned for a moment, looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who had a firm face, and said with a smile: "There is no problem, it is generally time-consuming and laborious to create huge paintings, and I can't produce a satisfactory work in a year." But Brother Xian spoke, then everything is not a problem, I don't know what theme you want? ”

"I want Brother Daqian's largest splash of ink landscape!"

"Splashing ink landscapes? This ......"

Zhang Daqian's smile slowly became serious, and he was a little embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the splashing ink technique is indeed the new brushwork that Zhang has recently researched, but it is not very mature, and there are many places that need to be improved, so I am afraid that it will not meet your needs!" ”

Xu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Daqian, who was in his sixties, could it be that he had not fully mastered the ink splashing technique at this time?

Splashing ink is one of the Chinese ink painting techniques, which is mainly based on ink and supplemented by the pen, emphasizing self-confidence, rapid pen dropping, and completion in one go. The picture is blended with ink and water, and the shades are natural. As one of the brightest stars in the history of Chinese art in the 20th century, Zhang Daqian has a legendary life experience and outstanding artistic achievements.

This artist, who was famous in the painting world for his imitation of Shi Tao's paintings in his 20s, has won numerous praises -- "Nanzhang Beipu", "Shi Tao No. 2", "the first person in 500 years", "the first painter in the contemporary world", and many other artists have pursued all their lives but have failed to achieve fame.

However, along with the praise, there are also many voices that do not recognize or even criticize, such as Fu Lei, Huang Binhong, Fang Wen, etc., all of which use antique imitation to illustrate the lack of innovation in Zhang Daqian's paintings. There are also many people who criticize Daqian's morality and behavior, such as Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting, once said: "I have never liked people who fake paintings", referring to Zhang Daqian!

Generally speaking, all the controversy is still focused on his early and middle period of studying the ancients, and his works in the later stages of the reform period are generally positive. However, there are differences in views on his style in his later years, with some people believing that his ink-splashed works of this period were mainly influenced by Western modern art, and this kind of abstract art is a kind of modern creation.

Zhang Daqian recalled: "It was 11:30 p.m. on July 29, 1956, and my wife and I went to the Villa Caniforia in Port-Nice, southern France, which is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and is home to the local wealthy. The villa was originally a duke's castle, covering a huge area of about 100 acres, Picasso spent millions of dollars to buy and then spent a lot of expensive money to renovate, so that the villa has both the complex luxury of the ancient palace, and has all the modern facilities. ”

"I remember vividly that day, Picasso, who was said to have never worn a shirt at home, wore a striped shirt, as well as very formal trousers and leather shoes, today to welcome me as an honored guest."

Picasso invited us to sit down with the translator, and immediately held out five large albums for me to see. There are about 30 drawings in each album. I flipped through it curiously, and was surprised to find that the original paintings inside were all copied Chinese paintings, and most of the paintings were flowers, insects and birds, etc., and at first glance I knew that they were imitations of Qi Baishi. And the brushwork is very immature, and at first glance you know that it is a beginner's painting. ”

"He asked me with interest how I was doing. I immediately guessed that these must have been painted by Picasso. Sure enough, before I could answer, Picasso went on to say that he had painted these paintings, and that he had recently been very interested in Chinese painting and was studying it, so he asked me to give me advice. ”

"I told him that our Chinese paintings do not seek to resemble the form but rewrite the meaning, and Mr. Picasso still has the charm and spirit of Chinese painting! Picasso lowered his eyes and thought seriously for a while, as if he was savoring the subtleties of what I called the art of Chinese painting. ”

"Suddenly Picasso raised his head and stared into my eyes, and asked seriously, why did the Chinese come to Paris to study art?"

I was startled, thinking I had misheard, and hurriedly motioned for a translator. At this time, the translator's expression was quite proud, and he immediately translated Picasso's original words: Don't say that there is no art in Paris, France, and there is no art in the whole West, and the white race has no art! ”

Zhang Daqian said proudly: "At that time, I naturally wanted to be polite, saying that Mr. Picasso was too modest, and our Chinese painting naturally has a long history, because China is a nation with too ancient history, but the West also produces a lot of very good art!" ”

On the contrary, Picasso shook his head vigorously and emphasized very sincerely that when it comes to art in this world, first of all, you Chinese have art, secondly, Japanese art, of course, Japanese art comes from you China, and third, black people in Africa have art, and other than that, white people have no art at all. So the most inexplicable thing for me is why so many Chinese and Oriental people want to come to Paris to study art? ”

"I was both surprised and strongly shocked by his frank insights, and if I hadn't seen Picasso's Chinese paintings seriously copied at this time, others might have told me that Daqian might not have believed them!"

"Later, we went to have afternoon tea together, when the afternoon sun seemed quiet and warm, and Picasso's expression was softened from the seriousness and rigidity just now, showing a rather rewarding pleasure, and his gestures were relaxed and natural, and even showed a childlike naughty look."

"As dusk approached, Picasso walked with me in the garden, and it was so warm that everything seemed to be silent. Suddenly, Picasso pulled a few roses from the ground and threw them at my wife Xu Wenbo, and the petals flew away, and a few of them actually got on my long beard, and the three of us couldn't help laughing when they saw this. ”

"When we finally parted, Picasso took out a few new albums and wanted to give us a few as souvenirs. Picasso has never been a great painter, but he took me very seriously. I flipped through it carefully, and when I came across a portrait of a bearded man, my wife couldn't help but blurt out curiously, "What is this painting?" It's a grimace!"

Picasso saw that she was very interested in this painting, and thought that she liked it very much, so he pulled out the painting and explained that it was of a Spanish faun, and asked my wife if she looked at it well. Of course, she could only say yes, so Picasso deliberately inscribed the English signature of "Send Zhang Daqian" next to it, and gave this painting to me, and the title was also Picasso's exception. ”

"Naturally, I wanted to exchange gifts, so I drew a very distinctive double bamboo drawing, in which I deliberately showed the Chinese painting after the pen is divided into five colors and see each other's layers. The bamboo on the right is highlighted with thick ink, and the bamboo leaves are stretched upwards with a high-spirited posture, while the bamboo on the left is set off with light ink, and the bamboo leaves are downward with a gentle posture. The postures between the two bamboos are different, and the shades are distinct, which well expresses the charm and style of Chinese painting. ”

At the time of parting, the sun was setting, and at the door of the mysterious and gorgeous castle villa, Picasso's figure seemed a little lonely and old. The two of us stared at each other for a moment, but we both chose to be silent and waved goodbye. ”
