Chapter 280: Talent
The death of a companion pet is a problem that every owner cannot avoid.
When an animal friend who entrusts your happiness, your sorrow, and your life appears like a little tail in every minute and every second of your life, suddenly leaves the world.
It will really be like a building block has been pulled out of the heart, and a huge sense of emptiness will come to people, making people feel the sadness of the death of a loved one.
Some people can come out.
Some people can't.
No kidding, every year around the world, there are reports of suicides due to the death of pets.
Therefore, there is a proper term in psychology "PET LOST" to describe a whole type of psychological problems caused by the death of pets that cause the owner to fall into a depressed and depressed emotional state.
When an autistic child encounters the sudden death of an old cat who grew up with him.
The heart gate that was slightly pried open fell again.
This time, the molten iron was directly poured on the crack of the door.
When Tony was at his best recovery, he was even able to play with cat toys with Amy and do some simple exercises like hand-tossing a ball with a caregiver on the lawn.
With Amy's passing.
He turned back into the little child who never grew up, stupidly caring about his father's cats.
Jane Arnold and the psychiatrist certainly didn't think about giving Tony the whole new pet.
Seriously,
The old gentleman is about to buy all the cats in the whole New Zealand pet market.
As long as his son can be happy, let alone a $5,000 purebred cat, even if he wants to play with a whole leopard cub worth $300,000, he can pack his son and send him to a private zoo in Dubai to meet his requirements.
Tony's child doesn't want a fleshy Persian cat, a personable Russian blue cat, a stupid Ragdoll cat, and another Scottish Fold cat.
All you need is Amy.
"It's clear that the IQ of a child is only a few years old, but he is obsessed with this kind of thing."
"I am really a father and son with Jane Arnold, one is unwilling to remarry, unwilling to adopt, and only has his own autistic son. And the other...... All he wanted was his cat. β
The assistant thought with embarrassment and amusement: "I knew that Mr. Jane Arnold should have raised a whole Brazilian turtle for his son, and that thing can live for a long time." β
He noticed that Jane Arnaud was looking at him out of the corner of his eye, and immediately gathered his mind.
The assistant thought about it for a moment, and made sure that there was no trace of a look on his face that would be taken as a mockery by the great artist.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Religious beliefs, political leanings, physical problems...... Everyone has a forbidden zone in their mind.
The most important rule of mind for an assistant is not to touch any taboo topics.
Jane Arnold's taboo was his son.
The old gentleman's last assistant was an old man who had been with him for more than a decade, and he lost his job because he occasionally compared Tony to a well-known funny character in a local newspaper comic book during an occasional private joke.
That's the chance to put him in the position.
"Did you get any replies from the few special artists I asked me to contact before?"
Jane Arnold didn't pay attention to the assistant's mental activity.
He pulled his sleeve out of his son's hand, beckoned the maid to take care of Tony for a while, took a few steps to the side, and asked softly.
Dr. King is the private psychiatrist hired by Jane Arnaud.
The other party owns a well-known private psychological clinic in New Zealand.
In addition to the occasional counseling session with the great artist, Dr. Kim has taken over the design and arrangement of Tony's treatment plan since ten years ago.
This time, it was also the suggestion made by Dr. Jin Anqing, who believed that the news that "The Little Prince" can treat autism has a certain credibility, so that Jian Arnold can usually accompany her son to flip through the book more.
It would be great if you could invite a few experts in painting to participate in the treatment.
"Ms. Anya, co-founder of Zaohe Space Gallery, and Professor Boggs of Brooklyn College of Art have gladly accepted our invitation to come to New Zealand for a short holiday, and I have already booked a first-class ticket and should be able to fly here in these two days."
In the niche category of knife painting, there are only a few famous painters.
Anya Doherty is the founder of an urban gallery in Ireland called Jujube Space, which engages in the Art Nouveau genre and mainly paints finger paintings.
However, she is also very good at drawing with knives, and once a pioneering artwork containing five different painting methods sold for a whopping 100,000 euros.
Professor Boggs, on the other hand, is a leader in the field of knife painting.
Being able to invite these two people over together is equivalent to directly moving half of the country in the field of knife painting.
Only an artistic giant like Jane Arnaud should have such a big face.
"Emerald Lake is the most famous and beautiful tourist attraction in New Zealand, they won't be disappointed, I'll ask the maid to pack up the two spacious bedrooms, and if you ask for it, the Hilton in Queenstown, see what the two artists think." Jane Arnold said a few words, and then her tone became expectant: "What about Detective Cat Lady?" Did she say yes to my invitation? β
"Detective Cat ......"
The assistant hesitated for a moment and smacked his mouth.
"Isn't she convenient?"
Jane Arnold raised an eyebrow, her expression full of disappointment.
"Not really. It's just that the agent of the detective cat replied to the email and said that the other party has always been an anonymous painter, does not like to appear in public, and never accepts invitations to any social events. But old Jane Arnaud is an old man whom she respects very much, and she would love to help you. I don't know if it's convenient to communicate directly on the Internet, no matter what you need her to draw, she will definitely do her best. β
"People don't want to fly to New Zealand."
The assistant snorted unhappily: "The fame hasn't been raised for two days, and the shelf is so big." If this kind of person can win a few more prizes in the future, the tail will not jump directly into the sky! β
Jane Arnaud is an artist who can be recorded in art history, and Detective Cat is just an online painter who has just entered the industry.
In terms of achievement, in terms of status, it is not worthy of lifting shoes for his employer.
The old gentleman begged you with a blank eye, it was to give you face.
If you don't agree, you're shameless.
It's a hard job to be an assistant to a top artist and lick your employer, but when you face those ordinary painters and publishers who come to your door, it's quite a cool dimensionality reduction blow.
The president of the Scholastic Group, like Osborne, has to be polite and respectful when he answers his call.
Let's just say knife painting.
Ms. Anya is the co-founder of a gallery, and Mr. Boggs is a tenured professor at the Academy of Fine Arts.
received Jane Arnold's invitation, and it wasn't like he pushed off all affairs without saying a word, and ran over in a hurry.
It's the most unqualified detective cat, but it's the best at posing.
Although the other party's agent just hopes to be able to communicate the painting needs through the Internet.
But no matter how beautiful the words are, in my bones, I still don't want to make a special trip to New Zealand for the old man!
"That's right...... It's not impossible, just meet Tony, the effect should be better. Forget it, let's try it this way first. β
The illustrator didn't get angry like an assistant.
He was only a little regretful, "If there is a real need at that time, I can also take Tony to fly to Africa to visit this detective cat lady." As for privacy concerns, I use my professional reputation as a guarantee that I will keep them confidential. β
"I don't think that's necessarily necessary. Now that both the artists have agreed to our invitation, the detective cat is not irreplaceable. How old is she? Thirty years old? Even a Mesozoic painter is barely counted. β
The assistant looked dismissive.
He deals more with business and life affairs, rather than studying art.
But art also has to pay attention to basic rules.
Collectors like to buy the works of old painters, not only because the old painters died early, but the appreciation is so simple and rude.
As long as there are no physical problems in classical painters, the older they get, the more sophisticated their skills become.
Cao Xuan and Gerhard Richter were all born before the 30s of the 20th century, and they can still create today.
A skill has been polished for a century, and a stubborn stone will also be polished to a streamer and slippery.
Detective Cat has only been famous for a few weeks? How much advantage does the level of technique really have compared with those old artists who have been tested by the market for a long time?
That "The Little Prince" is good, and the drawing is amazing.
But if it is said that it is so good that it is the only one in the world, it is not necessarily!
Besides,
In the previous video of Mr. Hyperion, a big Internet celebrity, this online illustrator detective cat actually got the same rating as Jane Arnold.
Despite the fact that there is a tie for the championship, all the honors deserved by Jane Arnold have already been won at this point, and I don't care about you children.
But it can be said that his personal assistant has no opinion on this matter.
That's talking nonsense with your eyes open.
"I think it's better not to invite her, an artistic giant like you owe a favor, why bother? She's not sensible, and some people dream of this opportunityβ" He pursed his lips and looked at the old man flatteringly.
stepped on the detective cat, and licked the tongue of Mr. Jane without a trace, this is the so-called high emotional intelligence.
"Shit!"
"In terms of art, don't comment outside in the future, it's going to make people laugh out loud. Young age? Old man Jane Arnaud looked at his assistant like an idiot, "Neither Lady Anya nor Professor Boggs will agree with you." β
The assistant was stunned.
He knew that he might have said the wrong thing, and for a moment he didn't quite understand what was wrong.
The employer is dissatisfied with his evaluation of the detective cat...... Why?
Obviously, this kind of junior has a big shelf, but the old man Jane Arnaud seems to have a solemn attitude.
Although this old gentleman has always been low-key, his heart has always been very high.
It's not the kind of good gentleman who doesn't have fire outside.
"I'm sorry, but you told me?"
The assistant couldn't understand it at all, he was a little aggrieved, more confused, and asked tentatively.
Jane Arnold looked directly into the assistant's innocent and pitiful little eyes, knowing that her tone just now was a little startling to this young man.
The old gentleman sighed.
My new assistant is actually quite good, clever and sleek, and very smart in all aspects.
The fly in the ointment is that the horizon is a little too small.
"You didn't study art, so I don't blame you."
Jane Arnold sighed and patted her assistant on the shoulder: "I'm angry just because it sounds so stupid." I just said that piety is the second element that determines the height of art. So do you know what the first element is? β
"Connections? Resource? Step up your game? β
"Maybe that's right, but I'd rather put talent first. At my point, you will understand that with a certain artistic height, there will always be connections, and there are more and more ways to draw, and there are fewer ways to draw. There is only talent that cannot be exchanged for any amount of money. β
"I gave a speech at the Hans Christian Andersen Award ceremony, and I talked about how I practiced sketching day and night for six months, polished all my fingerprints, and worked hard for half a year to pass the entrance exam at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. Journalists have described it as an inspirational chicken soup story that will succeed if you work hard. Countless children have sent me letters saying that they are inspired to hear my story. β
"But I've never told anyone that I played the violin as hard as I was a kid, but I wasn't even qualified to play in a children's show for parents to show their learning."
Jane Arnold plucked the strings of the viola in her hand, and made a hollow sound.
"Mozart was able to write the symphony "Bastian and Bastienne" when he was 8 years old, and when I was 8 years old, I stumbled when I played "Little Star", is it because I don't work hard? No, it's because I'm not talented. β
The old man smiled helplessly.
When she was young, Jane Arnaud didn't feel it.
The older I get, the closer I climb the mountain of art, the more I realize the role that talent plays in my career.
Especially someone like him who has switched majors.
The unsuccessful violin apprentice Jane Arnaud and the master illustrator Jane Arnaud are two completely different life stories.
He was a lump of elm when he learned the piano, demoted to a substitute by the violin troupe, and driven to play the simpler viola. Probably because he is really not talented, and it is the limit of his life to perform in a community church in the suburbs or become a music teacher in an elementary school in the future, so the tutor is unwilling to give him any discount on his tuition.
Jane Arnold, who switched to painting, directly became the most successful illustrator in the world.
A group of horses that run like lightning can always find Bole who is willing to appreciate.
And good talent can't be sought.
However, after all, the detective cat only drew such a set of knife illustrations, and Professor Boggs has been famous for decades. No matter how talented you are, you have to be reasonable. β
The assistant sniffled.
"Some people have studied a painting for three years, Picasso only glanced at it twice, spent half a day's effort, copied the essence of it to the bottom, and also pushed through the old to paint a better work than the original. Some people have gray hair and can only work as a small painter, Raphael completed the painting of the church's dome on his own at the age of 17, which makes sense. β
Jane Arnold recalled her amazement when she first watched "The Little Prince", and couldn't help but compare "The Little Prince" with her proud work "Miracle of Oz".
"I really envy this kind of ...... Completely unreasonable...... Talent. β
The old man sighed again.
He turned to look at his son not far away, and said softly, "Looking at it, I actually have a feeling that if there is really any knife painter who can help Tony, it is this detective cat." β
