My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 424
The stall owner is a mixed race. There are more than a dozen Chinese calligraphy and paintings and twenty or thirty Western oil paintings in the entire stall.

Everyone knows Jackie Chan, and this stall owner is no exception, but she is very sensible and did not say give it away.

She told Fang Xing and others that most of the works on this booth were painted by herself or copied, including Chinese calligraphy and paintings.

"My grandfather is Chinese and a painter..." said the female stall owner.

Jackie Chan opened one of the paintings, which was "Traveling in Streams and Mountains".

After Fang Xing saw it, he looked at the stall owner in surprise: "You copied this too?"

The foundation is profound!

To be honest, some so-called masters of traditional Chinese painting in China may be at this level.Unexpectedly, the painting level of the woman in her twenties has reached this level, which is very rare.

If she really painted it, then she is really a genius of Chinese painting.

In the painting, the majestic and towering mountains, the high mountains stand upright, and the arrogance is overwhelming.The jungle on the top of the mountain is lush, and in the depths of the valley, a waterfall is like a line, flying hundreds of feet.The huge rocks under the peak are abrupt, and the trees are straight.In the foreground of the picture, the stream is rushing, and a group of business travelers carrying goods on the mountain path are marching along the stream, adding vitality to the quiet mountain forest.

"Yes! I was lucky enough to see this painting in a museum on Taiwan Island. I copied it from memory when I came back. I don't remember some details." Wang Bing, a mixed-race woman, said.

Fang Xing raised his thumb: "It's amazing, many masters of traditional Chinese painting can't do it."

The "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" in front of me is known as the number one painting in the Song Dynasty.

There is no way to test the spread of "Xishan Journey Map" before the Ming Dynasty. It was collected in the palace in the early Ming Dynasty, and then flowed into the folks. It was acquired by the painter Dong Qichang.After watching it, Dong Qichang inscribed: "Fan Zhongli of the Northern Song Dynasty Traveling in the Mountains and Streams".

In the early Qing Dynasty, it was transferred to Emperor Qianlong's inner palace for collection by collector Liang Qingbiao.

Later, Li Linbao, the former vice president of the Palace Museum, found the word "Fan Kuan" under the shade of a tree in the right corner of this picture, and it is even more certain that it is Fan Kuan's authentic work.On the eve of liberation, the painting was brought to Taiwan Island along with other treasures of the Forbidden City.

The painter Fan Kuan was one of the three great masters of the Northern Song Dynasty and a master of landscape painting.

Most of his works are based on the mountains in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, his hometown.Pay attention to sketching, and use panoramic lofty composition. Fan Kuan is good at using raindrops and ink accumulation to create a melancholy effect like "Mountain Walking Night", which sets off the steepness and toughness of the mountain.

"Painting mountains and painting bones is more like painting the soul", this sentence describes Fan Kuan.

"With your level, you won't be reduced to setting up a stall, right?" Fang Xing felt a little regretful.

He held art interest classes in his village to cultivate talents in traditional arts such as calligraphy, painting, and carving, and indeed some talented men and women emerged.

However, compared to the one in front of him, his talent seems to be much worse.

It is very rare to be able to draw "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" from memory.

Wang Bing smiled wryly and said, "It's not easy to be an artist these days. Besides, my level is not worthy of such a high evaluation from you handsome guy."

She is still very happy in her heart, after all, her works and hard work have been appreciated and affirmed by others.

"Are you interested in developing in China? I opened an art exhibition hall, and I hold art exhibitions every month, and I also cooperate with an auction house. I think your level of Chinese painting is not a big problem for you to hold a personal art exhibition." Fang Xing Send an invitation, extend an olive branch.

Wang Bing didn't know Fang Xing, so he didn't know if this man was bragging.

In the past, someone used the condition of the art exhibition to seduce her, wanting to sleep with her and so on.This situation is also common in the art circle.

Unspoken rules are everywhere.

Therefore, Wang Bing looked at Jackie Chan, this international martial arts superstar, he couldn't lie, right?

Jackie Chan said with a smile: "Don't doubt, he does have an art gallery, even a private museum. Moreover, many auction companies are rushing to cooperate with him. Don't miss this opportunity."

have to!Since Jackie Chan said so, Wang Bing was really moved.

Although she grew up in the United States, she has always loved Chinese culture.Her grandmother is from Taiwan, and she goes to Taiwan almost every year.

As for the motherland, she has long wanted to see it.

Huangshan, Taishan, Lushan, Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Yellow Crane Tower, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, etc., are all very attractive to her.

As a painter, it is very important to visit those landscapes.

"Okay! I'll go, thank you!"

It's rare that someone appreciates her works of art now, and the other party seems to be quite powerful.If you don't seize this kind of opportunity, you will be a fool.

Fang Xing left her a contact information: "When you get there, I will let you try to participate in a joint exhibition first. If the response is good, there will be a personal special exhibition. As for whether it can be seen by collectors and auction companies, It depends on your ability."

Xu Qing also said, "Sister, we hold a traditional Chinese painting competition every year, with a lot of prize money."

have to!This time, Wang Bing had no reason to refuse.

Jackie Chan learned that these paintings were not copied by Wang Bing himself, but by her grandfather and father, so he had no desire to continue looking at them.

Can't say it's bad, but it's not famous after all!

He really has no interest in collecting such calligraphy and paintings.

"Is the old man still alive?" Fang Xing asked again.

Everyone knew that the old gentleman he was talking about must be Wang Bing's grandfather.

Wang Bing was suddenly depressed, a little sad: "I haven't been here for many years."

"That's a pity. This painting should be your grandfather's masterpiece, right? This painting is amazing, with about [-]% of Qi Baishi's skill." Fang Xing praised.

I saw that it was a piece of "3000 years of flowers and fruits", one of Qi Baishi's famous works.

The whole picture is vivid in composition, with a thick peach tree in the bottom panel, a lingering cloud above it, and the seal script inscription on the left side, the collocation is ingenious and dense, it not only depicts bright peaches, but also sets off the atmosphere of a fairyland. The surrounding of the inscription makes the picture have a kind of decoration.

In terms of painting method, the huge peach fruit is drawn directly with the boneless method. The tip of the pen is very heavy magenta, the root of the pen is full of water, and then dyed with gamboge, the ink color is vivid, showing the delicate and charming characteristics of the peach fruit; the leaves are drawn in light colors , and then draw the tendons of the leaves with thick ink, and the brushwork is straightforward, forming a contrast between cold and warm, thick and thin with the peach fruit;

This painting fetched a sky-high price of more than 3000 million RMB in domestic auctions.

There are only four peaches in the painting, and the average price of one peach is about 800 million. It is also known as the most expensive peach in the world.

It can also be seen from this that Wang Bing's grandfather is good at imitating Qi Baishi's painters.

In Fang Xing's opinion, the painting in front of him should be worth more than 100 million RMB.

Mainly still not famous.

Even if it is exactly the same painting, the prices of different famous painters will vary greatly.
