"You can stumble over this kind of person, but you can't expect him to fall there forever and never get up. We can mess with the Singapore Biennale once, but we can't mess with every one of his exhibitions. ”

"There is a high probability that he is destined to go to a high place. I can't participate in the Singapore Biennale, but also the New York Biennale, the London Biennale, the Sydney Biennale, the Los Angeles Biennale, ...... Are you going to ask someone to write a report letter for him to attend an art exhibition? Again, second, and third, this kind of fake news will be lethal if you play it twice more. Gu Weijing is such a person, the time, place, and people are all accounted for. If he can't make it, I think the world is too dark. ”

Cui Xiaoming shrugged.

"And the means that cannot see the light can only be used on people who cannot be on the table after all. You can conspire and calculate, but the real master will use a paintbrush and a real knife to calm all doubts. ”

Leonie sighed.

"It's still a pity, if he came out ten years later, Xiao Ming would have become famous a long time ago, you are not a painter of the same generation. For a long time, there may not be a need for a competitive market with real guns. The outcome of the Carava Bridge and Baglio-style encounters has always been a lose-lose situation. ”

She gritted her teeth, still feeling unwilling.

"It's not fair, there are so many ways to draw, why do you have to rob your things."

Giorgione and Titian, Picasso and Giacometti, Van Gogh and Gauguin, and Caravaggio and Bagglio in women's mouths......

In the history of fine arts, a pair of artistic twin stars have been born.

The trajectories of the master's life are intertwined with each other and similar in style.

Therefore.

The masters love and hate in life, like two twine balls tied together, and they are in a mess.

Some of them have precious and sincere friendships with each other.

More combinations will make later generations of scholars sigh when they read that period of history.

Without Picasso, Giacometti would have become the most important artist of post-war abstract art.

If he hadn't broken with Gauguin's angry quarrel, perhaps Van Gogh would not have detained the bullet fired at him, and struggled painfully for two days before finally dying.

Caravaggio and Bagrio, on the other hand, are artists who are highly similar in style and both love to use the "chiaroscuro" method.

It is also for who can sit on the first position of the pioneer of Baroque painting, and he has worked for half his life.

Insulting each other, ridiculing each other, and fighting between their respective followers, feeling that the other party is a thief of plagiarism.

Leonie is still just thinking about giving gossip tabloids and fake news.

The two masters of hundreds of years have rolled up their sleeves and gone to court to fight because of the similarity of their painting styles.

It's hard to say who the real ones are.

In terms of public opinion, Baglio has the upper hand, and his achievements are hardly remembered by many later generations.

But Caravaggio was not very comfortable at the time, and squatted for two weeks because of the "plagiarism and defamation case".

It's cruel to be born in the same era as a super cow by mistake.

In the Tokyo Olympics, you can directly win the championship by running 9.8 seconds, and this result is placed in the era of the peak showdown of the 100-meter five tigers, and you can't even go up to the podium.

The woman watched as the market share that belonged to Cui Xiaoming in the future would be cut off by outsiders who suddenly appeared in the future.

But there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Such a sense of powerlessness made Leonie feel really bad.

"No, Mom, I have a completely different perspective on this than you. Since he can stand on an extremely high place, it is very likely that he will become famous in the spotlight, and no matter how much you grit your teeth with hatred, it will not change the result. Let's see what we can gain from this. ”

"What do you mean?"

Leonie raised an eyebrow.

Cui Xiaoming stared at the screen in front of him.

There was no resentment in his words that foresaw the same kind of resentment that he had grabbed the cake from, but a trace of heartfelt joy was revealed in his eyes.

"It's a challenge and an opportunity...... Mom, I think most of the reason why history doesn't remember Bagglio like Caravaggio is because he waited all his life for the opportunity to really talk to Caravaggio. Caravaggio would rather fight a lawsuit with him than give the slightest possibility of allowing Baglio to roll over and ride on him. ”

Caravaggio and Bagglio are not very old and can be regarded as contemporaries.

But Caravaggio's artistic path is extremely smooth, and he is the type of talented merry boy.

At the age of twenty or thirty, he was already a guest of the leading ruling family in Rome, and was able to share the same room in Hadrian's palace with the cardinal.

By the time Bagglio's painting style matured, Caravaggio was already one of the most famous masters in Rome.

Baglio racked his brains and tried all the methods he could, "shouting" to Caravaggio to give a war letter.

Whatever Caravaggio painted, Baglio painted.

Caravaggio painted "Divine Love" and Baglio painted "Divine Love and Coarse Love".

For this.

He even did not hesitate to paint his employer, and painted the devil in the oil painting with Caravaggio's facial features.

Provocative enough.

Enough is excessive.

It was almost written on his face, "Please, please draw a picture to scold me!" Let's compare who draws better."

Faced with this, Caravaggio handled it delicately.

He scolded Baglio and never scolded, and invited all kinds of paintings...... I'm sorry, people never pay attention to it.

Sports competition is the most brutal.

Results are everything, and every champion gets old.

Ronaldo, the once smart green elf on the football field, also had a figure out of shape, and the day when he couldn't kick the ball at 200 pounds.

Sports competition is also the fairest, there are so many competitions, as long as you are strong enough, then everything can be spoken with the most unpretentious results.

The nameless boy threw the ruler of the old era to the ground and pressed it up, and he could become the new king overnight.

In addition to the cruelty of the art society, there is also some cunning and slippery worldly wisdom.

The little painter simply fantasized about it, and ...... at a certain art exhibition. Go on the master who has been famous for a long time, and from then on, gather the world's attention and ascend to the sky in one step.

The idea is plump, and the reality is skinny.

The reality is usually – sorry, people don't play with you at all.

I didn't even have the opportunity to speak with a paintbrush.

The real great painter who has been famous for a long time holds solo exhibitions and participates in art fairs...... are very enthusiastic, as long as there are occasions, opportunities, resources, brush exposure, the more the merrier.

This year's Singapore Biennale has attracted a lot of attention.

Or even the same media heat.

If the Lion City is not holding the Singapore Biennale, which is mainly based on art competitions, it will not add new blood to the industry.

Instead, it will be held as an art fair in Singapore, which focuses on selling paintings and promoting them.

The main force of the exhibition is not Gu Weijing, Sakai Katsuko, a small painter of this magnitude.

Please come to the work of the top painter of the magnitude such as Kazunari Sakai, Downing, Yayoi Kusama.

It's all easy.

But the Biennale ...... As long as there is a comparison between wins and losses, the great painters will often be cautious and cautious one by one.

It's not even the top show.

I won't be going to participate.

Or they would rather play a sideline game as the organizing committee coordinates the "loan exhibition" than participate in the award competition of the main booth.

More or less, it is to prevent the possibility of capsizing in the gutter and being stepped on by others.

Porcelain does not touch the stone of the name.

Only the young painters who have not made a fortune are looking forward to fighting a bloody road in the Biennale.

Even Cui Xiaoming, he has not made up his mind to participate in any large-scale biennale over the years.

Otherwise, you can win with confidence.

Otherwise, don't take it lightly.

Frankly.

Like Hirst, who had been preparing for many years, burned a lot of money, and had a loud media advertisement, he participated in the Venice Biennale in a high-profile manner as a big artist who was "the most valuable in the world" at that time.

Everyone thinks that winning the award is a hand-holding.

As a result, the Golden Lion Award was taken away by others, and Mao didn't leave him one.

The media are embarrassed for him.

It is impossible not to be affected by the value.

That is, the winners of the two awards of Best Participating Artist and Lifetime Achievement in Art that year were all in different artistic directions from Hearst.

No direct competition arises.

He can also use the prejudice of the organizing committee against "conceptual art" and the loss of Venice not to give him the award, so as to show harsh words in the media and find a venue.

Indicates that it is not his artistic level that is problematic.

Otherwise.

has really become a cuckold brother who weaves wedding dresses for others.

Painters with status are all proficient.

Different circles won't play with you.

What is your identity, what is my identity.

If you win, you should be, and if you lose, Lao Tzu will directly lose blood, and it will directly become a springboard for others to ascend to the sky.

Baglio beat gongs and drums and shouted for a lifetime, and the lawsuit was lively, but did he really want to fight a lawsuit and arrest Caravaggio?

No

It's that he can't do anything but fight a lawsuit.

Until Caravaggio's death, he never got a chance to really compete with each other on the same platform.

He didn't lose.

But from the moment Caravaggio became famous, the other party would no longer give him a chance to win.

In memory of this past.

Today, international visitors to the National Museum of Ancient Art in Italy are greeted by Caravaggio's Amor Vincit Omni on the left and Bagglio's Sacred Love and Profane Love on the right.

Every year, hundreds of visitors walk from works that silently tell the story of the feuding rivals.

For this reason, the two painters stopped.

It can live next to Caravaggio, and the eyes of visitors are relatively high and low face to face.

Maybe Baglio will finally feel like he is satisfied.

However, this is already four hundred years after his death.

"Now, such an opportunity is in front of us. Mom, you feel unlucky, and I feel how lucky I am. ”

The corners of Cui Xiaoming's mouth were slightly hooked, "With my ability, my resources." Originally, my expectation was to become a unique style painter. And now, this Gu Weijing has appeared...... Oh my God, it's just amazing. I'm not afraid that he will be strong in the future, the stronger the better, the bigger the better, and the higher he can go, the better. ”

"If God wants me to be the one who can step on the shoulders of giants. So why worry about how tall the giant will be? I'm just worried that he's not tall enough. The taller and more burly he is, the higher I stand, and the taller he is above the sky, then I will also be above the sky. ”

Cui Xuanyou looked at his son and listened attentively.

The pupils of the middle-aged bald head shrank slightly.

He finally understood what Cui Xiaoming was thinking.

"You...... Are you going to participate in the Singapore Biennale, but haven't you already made up your mind to participate in the Berlin Biennale next year, and we have already contacted the curator for you and got a place for the invited artist...... It is now less than 100 days until the opening of the Lion City Biennale. ”

"No, I changed my mind, the moment I saw the painting, the Berlin Biennale was no longer worth mentioning. The ten Berlin Biennales are not as important as this. I probably won't have the opportunity to beat Cao Xuan, who is probably the most important representative painter in the art world in the next 50 years, in my life. I think he should have achieved much more than me. ”

"You only looked at one of his paintings, and you thought so highly of him?"

Leonie was surprised, a little unconvinced.

NextCao Xuan.

She knew that Cui Xiaoming's evaluation of Gu Weijing was not low, but she didn't expect it to be so high.

My son is such a proud person.

"His resources are better than mine. He is younger than me, has a wider network than me, and his technique is progressing faster than mine, and his artistic achievements in the future will not be as good as mine...... It's weird, isn't it? ”

Cui Xiaoming raised his head and stroked the painting in his hand with a complicated look.

He stared at the work in his hand.

The picture of "Good Luck Orphanage in the Sun", which was hastily captured by the camera, was reflected on his pupils, and the colors were so magnificent.

"It's like two curves in the same quadrant with different growth slopes. He's growing faster than me, but I've started earlier than him. Maybe in another three or five years, our techniques will intersect, and he will be able to play me behind him. But it's right now that I see this work. ”

"I just need to be bright in each other's debut battles, and just win him once. Dad, you're right about one thing, you have to bully this kind of genius as soon as possible. He may have the ability to beat me countless times in the future, but I won't give him another chance to prove himself, and this will be the first time that the two of us will make our debut in the same art biennale, the first and last time in our lives. ”

Cui Xiaoming smiled silently, his eyes were deep and sharp.

"Of course, we can't make trouble for him to participate in the exhibition, whoever doesn't let this Gu Weijing participate in the exhibition will be our enemy."

"Otherwise, from now on, what do I do with Cannavaggio, and what does he do with Baglio."

"Once, it's enough to win once."

"The more powerful Bagglio is, doesn't that mean that Cannavaggio who beat him with the same style in his debut is more outstanding? From then on, whenever he participated in art exhibitions, I automatically avoided them. ”

Cui Xiaoming stretched out a finger, "The score is forever fixed at 1:0." Win him once, and I'll eat him for fifty years. Suck blood for a lifetime. Take advantage of a lifetime. ”
