"This must be an arranged actor! I think maybe this guy is the detective cat himself. ”

The female assistant exhaled hatefully, not wanting to believe that such nonsense could happen.

She was secretly guessing in her heart whether the news under this podcast would be directed and acted by the so-called detective cat.

Van Doorn pressed his phone without saying a word.

Through the comments, he clicked on the Twitter link hanging on the homepage of the author who claimed to be the author of the painting "White Baikal", and took a casual look.

Judging by the past photos shared on Twitter, this Rimmond should be half professional painter and half art dealer.

He introduced himself as a graduate of the Slade School of Art in London and now runs a small community gallery in Hockenheim, Germany.

It's not rich, but the income is not bad.

Such people belong to the mainstay of the art industry.

There is no comparison with a big guy like himself,

But in the eyes of ordinary people, he can be regarded as an elegant artist who mixes well.

The probability that the other party will be a detective cat, an online painter who previously wanted to sell ten dollars of illustrations online to make money, is extremely low, and the probability of being a hired actor is even lower.

If nothing else,

This thing said in Lymond's message should be true.

"Luckily, maybe the detective cat happened to read that issue."

Van Doorn said with an eyebrow twisted.

The assistant didn't answer this time, because she could hear that Van Doorne's words didn't seem to have enough confidence.

She stole a glance at Van Doorne's face.

The great artist's eyes narrowed slightly at this time, and his face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Van Doorne knew it in his heart,

Relying on the representation of a painting, it is possible to accurately infer the feeling of the painter when he paints, which is by no means good luck or witchcraft.

People with such keen artistic intuition and artistic accomplishment are real in this industry.

There used to be a handful of the most senior art connoisseurs who studied art psychology and have been immersed in the industry for decades, and even were able to restore the mental state of the portrait painter when he was painting just for the final work.

If it was Curator Tonks or Mr. Sloth, Fandoorne would have accepted such a statement.

It's just that......

Why is it a detective cat?

Bull shit！

How the fuck can it be her?

She deserves it too?

The more Van Doorne thought about it, the more irritated he became, like a lion king whose authority had been challenged.

He was never so angry when he was insulted by the lame man surnamed Yelena in the video.

What really made Van Doorne unable to suppress his anger was that somewhere in the deepest part of his heart was telling himself, "I can't do this." ”

His ability to grasp serious art is even worse than that of an online painter.

Unbelievable, unacceptable.

But that's just the way it is.

Van Doorne's painting style is more like the appearance than the substance, and he likes to decorate the picture with all kinds of messy lines and exaggerated colors.

The visual impact is great, but the spiritual connotation is insufficient.

Miss Elena sprayed Fandoorn's paintings, her emotions were inexplicable, and she moaned innocently, not without purpose.

Van Doorne didn't think anything was wrong.

He never pursued greatness,

It's about success.

Success is much easier than greatness, and there are shortcuts.

Van Gogh painted himself crazy and no one cared, and some trendy artists could sell for $100,000 if they made a bizarre glass out of clay.

Success, you want fame, authority, hype, and recognition from social fans.

To put it mildly,

In Van Doorne's eyes, it is much more important for others to think that he can draw well than whether he can actually draw well.

As long as you look authoritative enough, there are enough collectors to follow.

As long as you seem successful enough, millions of people walk the neon streets of the metropolis every year dressed in art-painted symbols.

Even if you paint a ball of shit, you are also a pioneer of fashion art whose work is more expensive than gold.

But

No matter how pioneer he is, he also has self-esteem.

An online illustrator who disdains himself is even more sensitive to art emotions than him.

This made Van Doorne feel an indescribable annoyance in his heart.

"What about knowing art? Such an online painter can't receive enough weighty manuscripts, and in the end he is just a little person who is not worth mentioning. ”

Vandoorne let out a breath from his nose.

"It's just a niche podcast, with only a hundred thousand followers. The stage is so big, no matter how good it is, there will be no waves. ”

He seemed to be talking to the female assistant, and he seemed to be comforting himself.

"That's right, Darling."

The assistant observed the words and sent a fragrant kiss at the right time.

She knew her boss wasn't in a good mood right now.

"It's a pity that I didn't leave the phone number of the damn reporter just now, otherwise I could have paid to get the interview record back."

The assistant remembered the interview just now and sighed: "No, I knew that I should have paid him to delete the photos directly." ”

The middle-aged reporter's uncle originally secretly took photos has a big legal problem, and even if Van Doorn doesn't do anything, he may not dare to post it.

The other party initially offered to pay 200 euros to bribe the ferry driver, which may not have been a secret demonstration that Dorn spent money to buy him unauthorized photos.

It is estimated that if you want to spend money to eliminate the disaster at that time, three or four hundred euros is almost enough.

With the virtue of a European entertainment reporter, the news interviewed is like eating meat in a dog's mouth, even if there is nothing in itself, it is impossible to make him spit it out without biting you hard.

"Do you need to? It's just a niche podcast, and how many people can hear it? ”

Van Doorne was still holding on to it, but in his heart he actually agreed with the assistant's opinion.

He also realized the mistake he had made during the interview.

In the literary and artistic circles,

The big guy sprays small and transparent, which is not a matter at all.

Arrogance is an artist's virtue.

Not to mention scolding each other as dwarfs and monkeys, it is not a big problem if it is more excessive.

You are more artistically accomplished than the other person, and you are born to stand on the moral high ground.

But this kind of thing is afraid of overturning.

I just finished spraying the other party, and I don't know anything about serious art.,It's just a ninth-rate online painter who can only draw anime.。

outcome

This detective cat lady not only draws well in colored pencils,

He also has a deep knowledge of serious art, and in the blink of an eye, he had a good conversation with Director Tonks on a podcast.

This is typical of rollovers.

The more people know about the story, the more it hurts the authority of Van Doorne's "Great Artist" signboard.

It doesn't matter if fans can't understand your work.

Anyway, they'll find your drawings unclear, but if they start to doubt your artistic vision.

That's dangerous.

Van Doorne can bully Anna for being young and not having enough connections, and create public opinion that the other party is just a person who relies on his surname to get to the top of the position.

But he had to dare to play a trick on Anna on Tonks, the senior director of Britain's top private art gallery, who has millions of visitors every year.

hehe

The clown becomes himself.

Van Doorne can only rejoice now.

In the final analysis, professional art podcasts have a relatively small audience and a single way of communication, which is not comparable to the traffic of big Internet celebrities like [Mr. Hyperion].

Unless something is very topical in professional circles and can be mentioned repeatedly.

For example, the episode of the podcast "The Economist" that interviewed Warren Buffett, and the episode of the podcast "Rock Band" that interviewed Queen's guitarist May.

It has almost become a must-listen program for practitioners in related fields.

otherwise

The influence should not be too great.

At present, although Director Tonks can barely be regarded as a heavyweight guest, the content of the discussion is the works of several young artists, and this topic is not very important.

Not very attractive to the real bigwigs.

That's fine.

"Shall we change something then? Do something light. ”

In the Rolls-Royce car, the atmosphere was relatively dull After more than ten minutes, the empathetic female assistant seemed to want the boss to change her mood.

She hooked Vandoorne's neck and flirted in a flirtatious way.

"Why bother with an online painter who can't be on the stage, you should focus on Milan Fashion Week, which belongs to your stage. She's just an African bun whose upward channel has been sealed. And you, my boss, have money, honor, and me. ”

The assistant patted the ass lightly on the side.

"That's right."

Van Doorne sneered and bowed his head in response to the assistant's kiss.

"But you don't have to change it, just continue to play this to help the fun, it's good."

He's not a tangled man,

Now the mood has almost calmed down.

The assistant was right.

Detective Cat may really be a little talented, but there are many talented painters in the world, how many of them can get to this point?

He owns a private jet, a Rolls-Royce, and a nice and sultry female assistant......

What has been successful can no longer be successful.

All the detective cat can do to Van Doorne is a fleeting little unhappiness and distress.

soon

In a few months, or even weeks, no one will remember this episode, no one will remember the detective cat, no one will remember their own rollover.

Public opinion is forgetful.

And he,

He is still the chief art officer of Amida, the great artist, De Jong vandoorne.

Since the fate of the other party is destined to be tragic, the more talented this detective cat is. Doesn't it prove the correctness of the artistic path you have chosen?

This feeling of holding the power of life and death in his hands made Van Doorne feel that his whole person was younger.

"By the way, before I finish recording, Ms. Detective Cat, since you also like Impressionism, can I ask you, who is your favorite painter?"

In the fully enclosed carriage of Rolls-Royce, the podcast is already at the end, and Van Doorne is having a hot fight with his female assistant.

"Reano...... His "Dance at the Pancake Mill" is my favorite...... We don't portray gods, we only record sunlight and air. We don't follow dogma, because what is beautiful will remain, and the pain will pass away. ”

The detective cat's answer came over the loudspeaker.

It was as if a basin of cold water poured down from the top of Van Doorne's head, quenching his lust.

He froze at once, and one rolled over and sat up from the wide seat cushion of the Rolls-Royce.

"What's wrong? Do you need to take medicine? ”

The female assistant who had just been emotionally aroused couldn't get up or down at this time, and the whole person was a little unhappy.

"Idiot."

Van Doorne was no longer interested in anything else.

He picked up the phone that had been kicked off the floor and pulled it back for a few seconds.

“…… We don't portray gods, we only record sunlight and air......"

Van Doorne had to admit that this was the most moving description of Impressionism he had ever heard.

It is not critical to move people,

What really spooked him was that

Van Doorne sniffed a hint that this sentence had the possibility and potential to become a classic.

Many art schools have their own most representative classic aphorisms.

For example, the Fauvist Matisse - "the deliberate pursuit of precision is not natural", the Pre-Raphaelites - "to return the beauty of shallow art to purity", the Austrian Secession - "for the art of the times, art deserves freedom." ”

……

These classic generalizations are both beautiful and accurate.

Just like the famous lines in Byron's poetry, it is popular in art circles.

And this sentence of the detective cat, which is the most accurate summary of Impressionism that Van Doorne has ever heard, is not grand and enthusiastic, but has a long aftertaste.

Just by virtue of the summary of this sentence,

Van Doorne felt that this podcast had the potential to become a classic, at least in the professional field, and would definitely attract countless professional painting enthusiasts.

The reason why a classic aphorism is a classic aphorism is that it endures.

Something beautiful enough is penetrating.

Every time one more person hears this, it means that Van Doorn loses face one more time.

"It's amazing, it's just amazing. This is the most hearty overview of Impressionism I've ever heard. Detective Cat Lady, please allow me a small request, I want to engrave it on the sign at the entrance of the Impression Pavilion at the Taylor Art Museum. It's just so moving. ”

As if to verify his guesses.

At the end of the podcast, Van Doorne heard Director Tonks clapping his hands excitedly.

……

Gu Weijing used a pen to draw the curve of short hair on the paper.

He doesn't use his pen very quickly, but he is very steady.

Gu Weijing's fingertips pressed slightly, feeling the touch of the ink-stained pen tip rubbing against the texture of the paper as it slid over the sketch paper.

Hiss~

The tip of the pen moved to the tail of the character's hair with a hint of curvature, and he gently and evenly tightened the force, making the line more elastic.

When painting with a fountain pen normally, in fact, you only need to pay attention to the fact that there is no ink accumulation on the nib, and it is enough for the pen to flow smoothly.

But Cao Lao's request to him was to paint with the thinking of white drawing.

In Chinese painting, no matter how thin a line is, it has its own shape, it has its own width, and it also has its own thickness.

The depth of the pen and ink, the intensity of the ink,

Gu Wei has been meticulous in handling.

He finished the line, put down the pen, blew lightly on the paper, and then turned his head sideways to look at the girl who was revising the paper in front of the computer next to him.

The process of convincing Katsuko Sakai was much easier than Gu Weijing originally imagined.

He originally thought that Miss Katsuko would not agree to his "vexatiousness" so easily.

An art essay involves the joint efforts of two people.

To be honest, if you judge the importance of him and Katsuko Sakai to this paper by the hard work they put into writing it.

In fact, people are more important to this paper than themselves.

Not only did Katsuko write a comparative review of the styles of Carroll and other great Impressionist painters in order to collect information, but he basically flew back and forth between major European art museums for a while now.

Moreover, in addition to expressing some of his own opinions, more than 90 percent of the hardest textual work in the paper was also done by Katsuko Sakai.

From this point of view, Katsuko Sakai should have more power to decide this paper than herself.

For the sake of the persistence in his heart, Gu Weijing gave up not only his own interests, but also Sakai Katsuko's share.

It is not impossible for a scheming person to point at his nose and scold.

But Katsuko Sakai simply agreed.

"Thank you, Miss Katsuko, I'm impressed."

"By the way, Katsuko, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Gu Weijing pondered for a moment and said suddenly.
