Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cao Lao's Lesson
Onslaught!
Hearing the evaluation of "young genius", everyone in the crowd was envious, jealous, and more admirable.
is not to admire Gu Weijing, but to admire Cao Lao and Cao Lao's mind.
Artists are arrogant and arrogant, but it's not that if you paint well, you can recognize you.
In particular, he is so humble to ask for advice from children who are not as old as their grandchildren.
"Cao Lao! No need, it's over. ”
Assistant Lao Yang couldn't help but whisper a reminder on the side, reminding Gu Weijing that he was not worthy of making such a comment.
This is not a personal vendetta.
The position of the painter is the position of the assistant, Cao Lao values Gu Weijing so much, and his old Yang must also value Gu Weijing.
Lao Yang was actually full of complaints about himself at this time.
He complained that he had just scolded the other party in too harsh tone, worried that he would offend this little bodhisattva who came out of nowhere.
"You're so talented, a young genius, and there are a lot of adults, so don't worry about running errands like me?"
According to Lao Yang's true thoughts, he would now rush over and take Gu Weijing's hand and be a good uncle who makes people feel like a spring breeze.
However, his work ethic must allow him to stop his employer from saying something inappropriate in public.
"Better than my old bones." ——This sentence is very out of place in Lao Yang's opinion.
Although Cao Lao no longer writes much, his works are still appreciating in value on the art market, and the auction prices are rising, but few collectors sell their works.
The main reason is that with the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the rising status of Asia in the world, the world's recognition of oriental art has been strengthened, and the expression of Chinese painting has become more and more valuable.
There is also the identity of Cao Lao, the first living oriental painter.
Collectors are waiting.
Now that Cao Lao is over 90 years old, as long as he waits for the old man to breathe, his life as a painter with almost no stain will be conclusive, and his works can enter the painting gallery, one of the six major museums of the Louvre.
Only a handful of people in history have had the privilege and good fortune to see their works in the Louvre's collection as living painters.
Picasso, Anthony Martial, Suraghi...... These people were once hailed as the greatest living painters, and they were the leaders of the painting world of their time.
With Cao Lao's status, if he finds a suitable economic team to operate, he may not be able to collect the collection by the Louvre when he is alive.
It was the old man himself who refused, he was a modest man, and he thought that he still could not be placed alongside these names that have flourished in the entire history of world art.
For many painters, the entry of a posthumous work into the Louvre is the same honor as the entry of a Frenchman into the Panthéon after his death.
It is almost possible to conclude that way.
Collectors also have the psychology of revering the past and devaluing the present, and when Cao Lao dies, the price of his works will increase by leaps and bounds.
It is certain that the entire market for works will completely stand at 10 million US dollars, and 20 or 30 million US dollars is not a dream, and some masterpieces may even be able to test the new peak of East Asian contemporary painters in the order of 100 million US dollars.
ANYONE WHO IS WILLING TO SPEND $100 MILLION ON A DIGITAL COLLECTION OF ART IS A GOOD ONE, EITHER OLD-SCHOOL OLDMONEY, OR AN UPSTART TO HIGHLIGHT ARTISTIC TASTE.
They love only the best.
If your work is not good enough, you can't buy any kind of painting with this money.
Of Claude Monet's many works, the most expensive of the 25 paintings in the Haystacks series sold for just $110 million at Sotheby's.
As for the water lily series printed in middle school art textbooks, you can pick and choose whatever you like with $100 million.
"Better than my old bones."
This sentence is easy to be borrowed.
"Shocked! The level of the grandmaster of Chinese painting is not as good as that of children. "The ninety-year-old master admits that his skills are not as good as others! "In name only, the artist Mr. Cao Xuan made a major mistake when painting. ”
Art tabloids are often a bunch of scavenging vultures, which may be more subtle, swearing as cultural people and not spitting out bones, but there is no difference between some non-professional writers and UC Shock in nature.
That is to say, Gu Weijing is too young, and he is not a professional painter who is in the art market, and those who know know that this is the old man's encouragement to young people.
Otherwise, this sentence may cause price fluctuations in the market of Cao Lao's works.
Even, if Gu Weijing is not angry in the future, and becomes an ordinary person who is not necessarily good when he is young, and then encounters a problem with this kid's character, he may take this sentence and knock on the bones and marrow on the old man's remains, and use it as his own street ladder.
It's not something that hasn't happened.
How many masters have been ruined by the disciples and grandchildren who are not angry, and the master is unfortunate, and he will not be able to live in peace after death.
What's going on?
Lao Yang looked at Gu Weijing on the other side, and his eyes were a little red with jealousy.
Does this kid know how lucky he is?
Do you know how many famous painters will be overjoyed and unable to sleep at night when they hear such comments?
He is not the great-grandson left by the old gentleman in Myanmar.
……
Although Gu Weijing still didn't understand the weight of this sentence, he was still surprised by the old gentleman's praise for him.
To put it bluntly, no matter what the reason for this matter, he is also at fault.
The objective fact is that
He really touched Mr. Cao's mural and painted on it without permission.
If you discard the warm scene of the seniors and juniors fulfilling each other, even if you draw better than the original yourself, what is the nature of this matter?
In the cross talk world, this is called choking.
In the martial arts world, this is called kicking gym.
In the philosophical world, this is called scolding.
Gu Weijing, who had completely come to his senses, was even a little afraid.
He knew that as long as Cao Lao's qi was a little narrower, this matter would be a completely different direction.
"Want to be famous? Why, you are talented, Lin Tao wants to accept you as an apprentice, but you are not satisfied, you are not greedy, and you can't wait to step on me and make a name for yourself? ”
Cao Lao's question just now was actually to say what was in his heart for many people present.
Who said that if you are talented, others will appreciate you?
At least this matter will make Cao Lao's doorman not say anything, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart.
In the art world, whether it is poetry and poetry, singing, painting, writing, philosophy...
"the boss and scold the seniors" has always been the only way to be famous, and it is also the most taboo way to kill in the circle.
But this is the same as the martial arts of the old society, in the face of peers, you can have fun and meet friends with martial arts.
If you come to the door to kick the restaurant and steal your job, you will always be an enemy who meets and is killed.
It is precisely because of this kind of thing that it is taboo.
Unless there is no way out, holding the life-and-death mentality with those old artists, we can only have one left, and no matter how talented you are, it's best not to do this.
Gu Weijing, who finally understood the taste, was really moved in his heart at this time, and he understood Mr. Cao's protection of himself.
Countless artists have a look of high morality on their predecessors, how many people can really do this?
He bowed to Cao Lao.
"I'm sorry, thank you."
Gu Weijing sincerely thanks.
"Why, what is there to thank you for. Do you kid think in your heart that the old guy should bend down in the dirt and let the young man climb up? It's the wistful attitude of the old bones. In my heart, I saw talented young people who wanted to strangle them directly, and I was so shocked at this time. The little old man looked a little unhappy at the moment, he glared and quipped.
"But, after all, you did something wrong."
"Yes."
"There is a punishment for doing something wrong. Do you agree? “
"Agreed."
Cao Lao thought for a while: "In order to teach you a lesson, in the next few days, when I am painting, you will come to mix colors and ink, and give it a start." ”
Gu Weijing's mouth opened wide.
Airplanes~
There was another uproar in the crowd.
Tanaka was so angry that he was about to cry.
Is this punishment? You call this a punishment, how many fucking copies of such punishment can be found with lanterns in the world?
It's all about art!
It's not fair!
There's shady!
I protest!
He closed his mouth tightly and gritted his teeth and swallowed inwardly.
"Teacher, you're too partial. Even when I was learning to paint, many times you asked your senior brother to teach me. ”
Lin Tao was smiling bitterly, there were several of them senior brothers, most of whom were taught by senior brothers. At that time, Cao Lao was very busy, and he didn't even get a few opportunities to teach one-on-one in person.
This Gu Weijing is really lucky.
