Chapter 208: Should I Cry or Laugh

Painting is painting, although Qin Mubai is a little speechless, but the habits of these artists, Lao Qin doesn't understand, but with Tang Yin's time, Qin Mubai is used to it, anyway, he can buy canvas, paint, it's all over from that era, as for how to paint, that's Van Gogh's business.

Fortunately, Van Gogh needed something cheaper than Tang Yin's, it should be a matter of age, and it was completed with only 120 exchange points, but this is also very expensive, but considering that such a painting is estimated to be sold at a very expensive price, it is understandable.

In the suite of the five-star hotel, Van Gogh had completely put up the canvas easel and so on, and began to enter the state of painting.

Looking at Van Gogh who was sitting there and painting, Qin Mubai's mind was opened, if one day, he received Leonardo da Vinci, or let Da Vinci draw another picture of "Mona Lisa's Smile", and then take this thing out...... Both are genuine, will the world go crazy?

When the first two times it was sold, everyone thought it was a fake, because someone had scribbled on it, and later the paint covered up Leonardo da Vinci's original work, but in the latest auction, his collector cleaned it up, and after identification, the painting was genuine, and it was sold for a whopping 400 million US dollars!

Because this is the only painting of Leonardo da Vinci in his private collection, the only painting in the market, the price can be imagined.

If you have a Mona Lisa, you shouldn't have a problem opening a museum, right?

However, the paint graffiti, Qin Mubai felt that someone might have deliberately covered it up, not that he didn't know that it was a genuine handiwork, but it was true that the collector made a lot of money, he bought it for more than 10,000 pounds, and it was sold for 400 million US dollars, Nima, is this better than making money from any stock.

But I shouldn't call it a leak, right?!

Van Gogh's painting is naturally different from Tang Yin, because Van Gogh is good at oil painting, which is painted directly on the canvas, in fact, the painting time of an oil painting is very long, of course, this also varies from person to person, if it is only a student in the school, it may be finished in one day, but some painters, even a painting for a year and a half is possible.

This is also the difference between oil painting and other paintings, in fact, the impressionist paintings are quite good, at least, you can understand what is painted on them, for example, sunflowers, at least you know that it is a sunflower, but if it is abstract.

Hehe, Qin Mubai can't appreciate it anyway, especially if you look at those abstract oil paintings that cost hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, if you don't understand, you will think that maybe your three or four-year-old son can paint some paint and then paint on the canvas indiscriminately, and he can also paint that effect.

Anyway, there are even fewer people who can appreciate abstract artists, and as for those who buy oil paintings from abstract painters, do you think they really understand? Not necessarily, in fact, although this thing is said to be a work of art, the people who collect them may not be all people who understand art.

It's like, people who drive a Bentley don't need to know how you build a Bentley, and people who buy a private jet don't need how you build a Bentley, as long as I can afford it.

In fact, these works of art are basically similar to those who can afford them, of course, it is not excluded that there are people who know how to do it, but there are definitely not many people who can afford to buy these paintings.

But now Van Gogh's oil paintings are absolutely fast, as if he has already made up his mind, and he has already conceived it in his mind, but he only has to paint it on it.

Like Tang Yin's painting, everything Van Gogh used was bought by Qin Mubai from that mall, and Van Gogh's paints, brushes, canvases, etc., all of them.

As long as it is the materials he uses, all of them are products of that era, as for what will happen in the future, Qin Mubai doesn't want to pay attention to it.

But now Van Gogh painted a portrait, yes, Van Gogh painted many portraits in his life, such as the famous self-portrait, and the portrait of "Doctor Gachet", such as "Doctor Gachet", which sold for a terrifying amount of $152 million in 1990.

If you put it to the present, 27 years of inflation, you think about how much this painting can be worth today, although it may not double or something, but it is definitely higher than 152 million.

What's more, the painting had disappeared from the international art market as the buyer at the time, the Japanese industrialist Ryohei Saito, ended up in debt, and no one knows where the painting went.

However, Qin Mubai is already ready to trap people, and he doesn't know about the other paintings, but this $152 million painting of "Doctor Gachet" has disappeared anyway, so it's nothing to take it out by himself, right? As for how to take it out, it's not something I can know.

There is another painting, Qin Mubai is going to make sunflowers, that's right, it is the sunflower that was also destroyed in Japan, and later Japan bought another one in the international market because the first sunflower was destroyed.

Qin Mubai is going to even take out the first sunflower that Japan said was destroyed, anyway, these things have no source in the outside world now, doesn't that mean that whoever takes it out first is the real handiwork? As for why it is a genuine work, hehe, you ask Van Gogh, you ask me what I do, maybe Van Gogh painted two identical ones.

Qin Mubai and Tang Yin didn't bother Van Gogh, it was not clear whether Tang Yin could understand Qin Mubai, but Qin Mubai was honest, in fact, he couldn't understand it, anyway, Qin Mubai knew himself, he knew that he couldn't appreciate these paintings, and the only way for Qin Mubai to appreciate these paintings was to ...... The paintings are worth a lot of money, that's all.

It took about 5 hours for Van Gogh to complete this portrait, and because although Van Gogh's painting is a portrait, it is not actually like a sketch, but it is somewhat abstract, but it can still be seen from this portrait that this is an Asian.

There is some similarity between Qin Mubai's eyebrows, but it is only some, this has to be Qin Mubai standing next to this painting, and then someone can compare and look at it to find the similarities, but when he sees this painting, to be honest, although Qin Mubai can't appreciate the skills of painting, he can feel it.

The painting is filled with warm and joyful feelings, which is really weird, and its color and the expressions expressed by the characters on the painting instantly make people feel that when they painted this painting, Van Gogh was in a good mood, really good.

And when he finished painting this portrait, Van Gogh started the second painting, which was different from the first one, and the second one was a landscape, but to Qin Mubai's slight surprise, the buildings in this landscape were obviously similar to the scenery of ancient Chinese gardens like Wuzhen.

The difference is that it is expressed in the way of oil painting. The volume of this painting is a little large, it is about two meters long, and the height is about one meter and eight meters wide, which is a masterpiece.

Qin Mubai doesn't know if there is such a large space in Van Gogh's works, but oil paintings like this are definitely very, very rare, especially Van Gogh, you know, at that time, most of the money that Van Gogh financed his brother every month, except for rent, was used by him to buy paints and hire prostitutes as models, and he himself was even hungry many times.

You know, at that time, many of Van Gogh's oil paintings were even repetitive, that is, one canvas, or even several, one painting on the other, and some were painted on both sides.

From all this, you can see how financially constrained Van Gogh really was, and how could he paint such a large work. But since Van Gogh wants to paint, Qin Mubai naturally can't stop it, anyway, if the painting can be sold, Qin Mubai doesn't know, so let's keep it first.

Van Gogh's spirit was very excited, his whole person was in a state of excitement, and he didn't even eat dinner, Qin Mubai and Tang Yin watched him paint the entire canvas little by little with a paintbrush, you can imagine a canvas close to 3.6 square meters, painted with a brush little by little, and did it in a very short time.

Qin Mubai felt that his hands were going to cramp, although Qin Mubai had seen students from the Academy of Fine Arts who painted wall paintings, and they could draw about six or seven squares with a little bit of a pen for about ten hours, but that person was also two people painting, and the wall painting should be simpler than oil painting.

Because there are many places in this oil painting, it is not just possible to paint it all at once, and many times, it is necessary to paint at least many strokes on it.

What moved Qin Mubai a little was that at 12 o'clock in the evening, Van Gogh finished painting this work.

After the painting of these two oil paintings, Van Gogh wrote the name of the oil painting on the back of the oil painting, and wrote a few sentences on each of them.

Written on that portrait is: To my dearest, my friend Qin from the ancient country of the East.

And the picture of the ancient town landscape reads: With the help of a friend, I saw a beautiful town from the Far East, which is a beautiful and desirable place.

Underneath these words, Van Gogh signed his name.

"Qin, I have nothing else to give you, I can only send you these two paintings. Van Gogh looked at Qin Mubai seriously and said.

Looking at Van Gogh with a serious face, Qin Mubai sighed, to be honest, originally he wanted to fool a few paintings from Van Gogh, but you look like this, I'm embarrassed to fool me, after being silent for a while, Qin Mubai decided to tell the truth.

"Vincent, in fact, your words are very valuable in this era, and a painting may be worth tens of millions of dollars. Qin Mubai thought for a moment and said, "So, I thought about getting your painting and selling it before." But now I don't want to sell these two paintings. So Vincent, can you give me some of your other paintings? I want to sell them for money. ”

Qin Mubai directly stated his purpose, as for what to do with the money, Qin Mubai did not say.
