"Brother Xu, can you frame paintings in your gallery?" At noon, Xiao Baoju saw Xu Yan in the cafeteria, he hadn't seen this boss for some days, Xiao Baoju still greeted Xu Yan very warmly.

"Brother, look at me just going to look for you, brother, I went to Jing County these days, and I just came back yesterday. My brother can tell you, this time I came back with an order! Xu Yan mysteriously pulled Xiao Baoju aside and said. You just said you want to frame it? You have to find my brother about this? ”

"Brother Xu, that's the case, I painted a picture, did you frame it for me? Let's go, brother and brother invite you to eat out and have a drink by the way? "Xiao Baoju is not stupid, everyone Xu Yan has said it, and he brought the order back to himself. Can you still express yourself?

"Going out to eat? Let's go out and eat! Xu Yan readily agreed, after all, it is inconvenient to talk about things in the cafeteria!

Xu Yan and Xiao Baoju didn't pay so much attention to eating, and the two found a fried chicken restaurant near the art center, asked for a small box and sat down. "Brother, is my brother thinking about you this time? "Fortune at the Head" and "Steady as Mount Tai" each 15 pieces, hehe··· How? Xu Yan said to Xiao Baoju with a smug face.

"Huo... Thank you, Brother Xu. "This is a big order, Xiao Baoju stood up excitedly and bowed to Xu Yan.

"Brother... Brother... What are you doing here? Brother knows that he has done something wrong before, so he will compensate you. Don't blame your brother. Xu Yan felt a little guilty about Xiao Baoju in his heart, that is, he cooperated with the scene played by his uncle, although Xiao Baoju didn't mention it, but Xu Yan couldn't help but make some compensation in his heart. You must know that a potential stock like Xiao Baoju will soar one day, at that time...

"Brother Xu, you're out there." Xiao Baoju said to Xu Yan with a smile. "Brother Xu, you are a veteran in the gallery industry, how is the market for this figure painting?"

"Chinese painting figure painting has always been a hot topic of discussion, in the collection of Chinese painting figure painting, many people still have some misunderstandings, and some novices, do not know where to start when collecting Chinese painting figure painting. Chinese painting figure painting is one of the most important categories of calligraphy and painting collection, since the Chinese painting figure painting artwork stepped down from the altar to become a commodity to the market, Chinese painting figure painting has quietly entered the homes of ordinary people. For a long time, the price of figure paintings of ancient famous Chinese paintings has been high, which has discouraged ordinary collectors. In addition, for the collection of ancient Chinese paintings, general collectors believe that the authenticity is difficult to identify, the risk of fakes is greater, and there is a "fear of antiquity" psychology. However, "far-sighted" investors have begun to turn to contemporary famous Chinese painting figure paintings, which are easier to distinguish between authenticity and reasonable price, and thus make contemporary famous Chinese painting figure paintings a "value depression" that enthusiasts and collectors focus on. Brother, let's take an example, you know that the price of a teacher's "Fortune on the Head" is 50,000, right? But do you know how much Master Wang's picture of a lady sells? How much does a Buddha painting cost? Three times as much as him! "Xu Yan is also a very professional art broker, and what he said to Xiao Baoju is the dry goods of dry goods.

"This... So much? Xiao Baoju was shocked.

"Brother, figure painting is not something that anyone can paint if they want to, and this is a very strict test for the painter himself. The first is the painter: the painter's Chinese painting figure painting, which can show the author's achievements. The image of the picture is the embodiment of the painter, and we often subjectively criticize the quality or badness of the painting, which is the most influenced by the painter. Xu Yan paused, drank saliva and continued to tell Xiao Baoju. The second is the connotation, Chinese appreciation of Chinese painting figure painting not only appreciate the surface effort, but also focus on the relationship with the work and the author's personal relationship. Character, Western painters, are often romantic and uninhibited, and the game is fun in the world. The viewer only looks at the painting and ignores the painter's personal morality. The Chinese are different, and painters such as misconduct, moral turpitude, disrepute, and great evildoers, no matter how beautiful their works are, no one cares about them. Let's ask who hangs the works of traitors such as Cao Cao and Qin Hui, and Yue Fei's "Return My Rivers and Mountains" and Sun Yat-sen's "The World is for the Public" have become well-known good plaques, which is the reason. ”

"Taught, Brother Xu! Character drawing is not as simple as I imagined! Xiao Baoju listened to Xu Yan's words and said with a heavy heart.

"Haha... Dude, I'm not done yet! Don't be discouraged just yet! The longer a person has been engaged in painting and calligraphy, the skills he shows are beyond the mastery of beginners. Especially in Chinese painting, the veteran duocang is powerful and vigorous. In terms of figure painting, the lines, designs, and scenes also show the artist's skills. Therefore, artists with rich experience in life often have different expressions in their works than younger painters, and this is the skill. In addition, there is also a refinement in the verses. The poems in Chinese painting often represent the voice of the owner. A good poem can show the author's connotation and learning, and a good poem can also play the role of the finishing touch. The most important of these is the layout and knowledge, the layout seems to be the design of the picture, but in fact, it is the world in the author's mind, which is expressed in the layout of the picture. There are many differences between Chinese painting and Western painting, the most obvious is "blank", Chinese painting traditionally does not add a background color, so there is a lot of blank space, and sparse, dense, gathered, scattered is called the layout of blank space. In the blank space, some people fill in the blank with calligraphy, poems, seals, etc. There is also a blank space, so the author's uniqueness can be seen from the layout. The skill and layout can be seen from the picture, and as for the author's knowledge, it has a great influence on his work. Therefore, China is known as "literati painting". Famous literati, whose works are different, is a kind of "bookish atmosphere". The difference between a painter and a painter is that knowledge is one of the conditions. Xu Yan spoke to Xiao Baoju for more than an hour in one breath, and Xiao Baoju listened to it seriously.

"Brother Xu, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years! Thank you! Xiao Baoju stood up with a touched face and bowed again.

"Haha... Brothers see the outside, see the outside. Come··· Drinking... Drinking..." Xu Yanle pulled Xiao Baoju to sit down, and the two clinked glasses and drank. "Brother, you don't know, we do our business, so to speak, although we can't draw, but in theory we are better than you! Any idea why? Because that's what makes us a living! You say, don't you? ”

"Brother Xu, brother admires!" Xiao Baoju picked up his glass again with admiration and said to Xu Yan.

"What do you admire or not? Come··· Drinking... Drinking..." Xu Yanle clinked glasses with Xiao Baoju.
