Chapter 454 These people don't understand art at all
Susie was not in a hurry, and began to look at the display case at the door one by one.
There are also loose stones for sale here, and Susie took a look at the red sapphire, which is a gemstone of almost the same level, and the price is higher than that of the Wudian side.
Susie looked slowly, and Yun Ruolan had already walked over there to see the pearls.
After walking for a while, Susie saw a display case, where almost all the displays were emeralds.
Recognized as the best quality emeralds from Colombia, they are the best in both color and clarity.
Susie looked at it, the price was a little confusing, and she couldn't buy it.
Susie then walked along and soon walked to the finished jewelry section.
Along the way, Susie felt that Paris deserved to be the capital of fashion, and many of the designs gave people a dazzling feeling.
As she walked, Susie arrived at a corner of the exhibition area.
In a glass display case, a chic tassel necklace with a platinum base and colored gems is worn on a black neckcast.
The tassels of the necklace are long and dense, and they are set with diamonds, rubies, orange garnets, yellow diamonds, orange-yellow topaz, aquamarine, and some gemstones that Susie does not quite recognize.
The gems come in large and small sizes, and the distribution of shades of color looks chaotic, but the more Susie looks at the jewel, the more she can't take her eyes off it.
She took a few steps back, squinted her eyes and looked at it again and again, and her heart suddenly moved, it turned out that this necklace was like an oil painting, and it needed to be separated from a certain distance to better appreciate it.
Then a voice came from behind her, a flurry of French.
As soon as Susie turned around, a bearded man stood behind her, and Susie smiled at him and said in English, "Sorry, I don't know French." ”
The bearded man quickly switched to English, "You like this necklace a lot?" I see you've been watching it for a long time. ”
Susie nodded, "Yes, this necklace is beautiful, I like it very much." ”
The bearded man said: "This necklace should be designed by an unknown jewelry designer in such a remote place, and I think it may not deserve your praise." ”
Susie shook her head disapprovingly, "Sir, I don't agree with you, this jewelry can really be called a work of art, whether it is a famous designer or not, this does not affect the value of this jewelry." ”
"I believe that the designer who was able to design this piece must have a high level of artistic quality."
The bearded man looked at Susie for a few seconds, "Then what do you think is good about this work?" ”
"I've just heard someone criticize it, saying that it's just a collection of all kinds of gemstones, and it's not artistic."
Susie thought for a moment, "Have you ever seen Monet's Water Lilies?" ”
"This piece of jewelry feels a lot like 'Water Lilies.'"
The bearded man's eyes widened and his mouth twitched slightly, "However, the shape of this chain has nothing to do with water lilies. ”
Susie shook her head, "I'm not talking about shapes, I'm talking about feelings. ”
"There is a painting in Monet's "Water Lilies" that shows the sun shining on the lake on a summer afternoon, the feeling of golden light and shadow jumping, and the whole lake is like a layer of broken gold, these lights are constantly beating and changing."
"That's how this necklace feels to me."
After Susie finished speaking, she suddenly found that the bearded man's eyes were full of tears, and she asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The bearded man shook Susie's hand excitedly, "This exhibition has been open for three days, you are the first person to really understand the designer's intention, to truly understand this work, you are my confidant!" ”
"Miss, may I know your name?"
Susie was also a little surprised, "You're the designer of this necklace?" Hello, my name is Beverly and I am from China. This is her English name in her last life.
The bearded man was even more surprised, in his impression, Huaguo was poor and backward, and Susie in front of him was well-educated, elegantly dressed, and well-behaved, and she must have a strong artistic sensibility and a high artistic accomplishment to be able to understand his works.
The bearded man didn't look down on Susie for saying that he was Chinese, and after a brief moment of surprise, he introduced himself, "My name is Neil, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"You're also a jewelry designer?"
Susie thought for a moment, "I'm planning to create my own jewelry brand, and I'm currently going to provide some blueprints for my own factory. ”
Neil said: "I really want to see your design, it will definitely give me a different feeling." ”
Susie bowed her head slightly embarrassedly, "I'm all self-taught, and besides, I haven't been drawing designs for a long time, only a few months." ”
Neil was even more surprised, "You have such artistic literacy and sensibility, and I believe that you will definitely become an amazing jewelry designer in the future." ”
The most important thing in art is not hard work, but talent.
Those who are not gifted can only be craftsmen forever, and those who are artistically gifted have the potential to become masters.
"By the way, there will be a jewelry design contest in Paris next spring, I don't know if there will be a chance to see your work by then."
Susie nodded, "Thank you for telling me the news, I think I'll be in this competition." ”
As a new jewelry brand that wants to open up its popularity, participating in the competition is undoubtedly a good way.
Neil said: "I wonder if you can leave me a contact information?" I want to be able to talk to you often. ”
He has been doing jewelry design for many years, and the most distressing thing is that some of his design intentions are difficult to be understood, Susie's words today perfectly said his artistic ideas, and he felt that Susie was his confidant.
If you exchange ideas with Susie more, you might be able to inspire him with new ideas.
Susie nodded, took out a pen and paper from her bag, and wrote down the address, phone number, Chinese name, and English name of the port city.
She tore off the paper with the address on it and handed it to Neil, who cherished it and put it in his suit pocket.
At this moment, two men walked over and said in surprise: "Master Neil, you are here, I just saw your work, it is really shocking." ”
Susie was surprised, it turned out that Neil turned out to be a master jewelry designer.
Neil grimaced at the two of them and said unceremoniously, "You interrupted my conversation with this beautiful young lady. ”
The two smiled awkwardly and quickly left.
Neil said to Susie, "These people don't know what art is. ”
"In this jewelry exhibition, I brought two pieces over, one of which I was very dissatisfied with in the past, so I kept throwing it there to eat ashes, and this time I took it out to the exhibition and signed Neil's name, and these people are very sought after."
He pointed to the necklace, "And this is the most satisfying piece I've ever done as a jewelry designer, and I didn't sign it, so it was lying alone in the corner, unnoticed." ”
