Almighty painter

Chapter 116
"This must be an arranged actor! I think, maybe this guy is Detective Cat himself."

The female assistant let out a sigh of relief, unwilling to believe that such a nonsense thing would happen.

In her heart, she was quite darkly guessing whether the news under this podcast was directed and acted by the so-called Detective Cat.

Van Dorn pressed his phone without saying a word.

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

Judging from the past photos shared on Twitter, this Rimond should be regarded as half a professional painter and half an art dealer.

In the self introduction, the other party graduated from the Slade School of Art in London, and now runs a small community gallery in Hockenheim, Germany.

Not to mention wealth, but income is not bad.

Such people belong to the mainstay of the art industry.

There is no comparison with a big brother like himself,
But in the eyes of ordinary people, he can be regarded as an elegant artist who is doing well.

It is very unlikely that the other party will be an online painter like Detective Cat who previously sold illustrations for ten dollars online to make money, and the probability of being a hired actor is even lower.

If nothing else,

What Limond said in this message should be true.

"Good luck, maybe Detective Cat just read that issue of the magazine."

Van Dorn frowned and said.

The assistant didn't answer this time, because she could hear the lack of confidence in Fan Dorn's words.

She stole a glance at Van Dorn's face.

At this time, the great artist's eyes were slightly squinted, and his face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

No matter how unwilling to admit it, Fan Dorn knew it in his heart,

Relying on the performance of a painting, you can accurately infer the feeling of the painter's painting. This is by no means good luck or witchcraft.

People with such keen artistic intuition and artistic accomplishment—there really exist in this industry.

Some of the most senior art connoisseurs who had a background in art psychology and have been immersed in the industry for decades can even restore the mental state of the painter when they paint only by looking at the final work.

If it was Director Tonks or Mr. Sloth, Van Dorn would have accepted such a remark.

only……

Why is it Detective Cat?
Bull shit!

How the hell could it be her?
Does she fit too?
The more Van Dorn thought about it, the more irritable he felt, like a lion whose authority had been challenged.

He had never been so angry when he was insulted by that cripple surnamed Elena in the video.

What really made Van Dorn unable to suppress the anger in his heart 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 not as good as that of an Internet painter.

Can't believe it, can't accept it.

But this is the fact.

Van Dorn's painting style is originally the kind that looks more than substance, and likes to decorate the picture with various messy lines and exaggerated colors.

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

Miss Yelena sprayed Van Dorn's paintings with inexplicable emotions and moaning without illness, which was not aimless.

Van Dorn felt nothing wrong.

He never sought greatness,

but success.

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

Van Gogh painted himself crazy and no one cares about it, and some trendy artists casually knead a weird-shaped water glass out of clay and sell it for $[-].

To be successful, you need fame, authority, hype, and the approval of your social fans.

To put it bluntly,

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

As long as you look authoritative enough and have enough collectors.

As long as you look successful enough, millions of people walk on the neon streets of the metropolis every year wearing the artistic symbols drawn by you.

Even if you draw a bunch of shit, you are a fashion art pioneer whose works are worth gold.

but,

No matter how pioneering he is, he still has self-respect.

An online illustrator whom he despises is even more sensitive to art emotions than him.

This made Van Dorn feel unspeakably angry.

"So what if you know art? Such an online artist will not receive enough important manuscripts, and in the end he will be nothing more than a worthless little person."

Van Dorn let out a breath through his nose.

"It's just a niche podcast with only 10,000+ fans. The stage is so big, no matter how good it is, there won't be any waves."

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

"Yes, Darling."

The assistant sent a sweet kiss at the right time.

She knew that her boss was not in a good mood right now.

"It's a pity that I didn't leave the phone number of that damn reporter just now, or I could spend money to get the interview records back."

The assistant recalled the interview just now, and sighed: "No, if I knew it earlier, I should have paid him to delete the photos."

The photos that the middle-aged reporter uncle originally took secretly had serious legal problems. Even if Fan Dorn didn't do anything, he might not dare to post them.

At the beginning, the other party suggested that he had spent 200 euros to bribe the ferry driver, so he might not have hinted at the intention of Dawn to spend money on him to delete the photos without authorization.

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

With the virtue of a European entertainment reporter, the news interviewed is like eating meat from a dog's mouth. Even if there is nothing in it, if you want him to spit it out, it is impossible not to bite you hard.

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

Van Dorn was still insisting, but he actually agreed with the assistant's opinion in his heart.

He also realized the mistake he made during the interview just now.

In the literary world,

It's not a problem at all if the big guy sprays small and transparent.

Pride is the virtue of an artist.

Not to mention calling the other party a dwarf and a monkey, if it is even more extreme, it is not a big problem.

You have higher artistic achievements than the other party, and you are born to stand on the commanding heights of morality.

But this kind of thing is afraid of overturning.

I just finished spraying that the other party knows nothing about serious art, and is just a low-level Internet painter who can only draw animation.

result,

This detective cat lady is not only good at drawing with colored pencils,

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

This is typical of a rollover.

The more people who know the whole story, the more damage will be done to the authority of Van Dorn's "big artist" brand.

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

Anyway, they will think your paintings are not clear, but if they start to doubt your artistic vision.

This is very dangerous.

Van Dorn can bully Anna because she is young and doesn't have enough connections, creating public opinion that the other party is just a guy who relies on his surname to get high.

But he has to dare to play against Anna on Tonks, the senior curator of Britain's top private art museum with millions of visitors every year.

Ha ha,

The clown becomes himself.

Van Dorn can only rejoice now.

After all, professional art podcasts have a relatively small audience and a single mode of communication, which is not comparable to the traffic of a big internet celebrity like [Mr. Hyperion].

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

For example, the episode of The Economist podcast interviewing Buffett, and the podcast Rock Band interviewing Queen 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 an important guest, the content of the discussion is the works of several small artists, and this topic is not considered important.

Not very attractive to real bigwigs.

That's fine.

"Then let's change something to listen to? Do something easy."

In the Rolls-Royce, after ten minutes of relatively dull atmosphere, the considerate female assistant seemed to want the boss to change his mood.

She hooked Van Dorn's neck, flirting with all kinds of flirting.

"Why bother with an online artist who can't be on the stage, you should pay attention to Milan Fashion Week, this is your stage. She is just an African bumpkin whose promotion channels have been blocked. And you, my boss, have money , with honor, and me."

The assistant flattered gently on the side.

"That's right."

Van Dorn sneered and bowed his head to respond to the assistant's passionate kiss.

"But there's no need to change it, just keep putting it on for fun, it's good."

He's not a tangled person,

Now the mood has almost calmed down.

The assistant was right.

Detective Cat may be really talented, but there are so many talented painters in the world, how many of them can reach this stage?
He owns a private jet, a Rolls Royce, a beautiful and seductive female assistant...

What has been successful can no longer be successful.

What Detective Cat can do to Van Dorn is only fleeting little unhappiness and distress.

quickly,

Months or weeks from now, no one will remember this podcast, no one will remember Detective Cat, no one will remember their car rollover.

Public opinion is forgetful.

And he,

It is still the chief art officer of Amitabha, the great artist, De Jong Van Dorn.

Since the fate of the other party is doomed to be miserable, the more talented this detective cat is.Does Bu Yue prove the correctness of his chosen artistic path?
This feeling of holding the power of life and death made Van Dorn feel younger.

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

In the fully enclosed compartment of Rolls-Royce, the podcast has come to an end, and Van Dorn is having a heated fight with his female assistant.

"Reano...his Ball at the Moulin de la Pancake is my favourite...we don't portray the gods, we only record the sun and the air. We don't follow the dogma, because the beautiful will stay and the hurt will end will pass away."

Detective Cat's answer came over the loudspeaker.

It was as if a basin of cold water was poured from the top of Van Dorn's head, extinguishing his desire.

He froze all of a sudden, turned over and sat up on the large seat cushion of Rolls Royce.

"What's wrong? Do you want to take medicine?"

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

"idiot."

Van Dorn had no interest in anything else now.

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

It doesn't matter if you are attractive or not.

What really terrified him was,

Van Dorn smelled a hint that this sentence has the possibility and potential to become a classic.

Many art schools have their own most representative classic aphorisms.

For example, Matisse of the Fauvism-"The deliberate pursuit of precision is not natural", the Pre-Raphaelites-"Let the delicate and shallow art return to purity", the Austrian Secession-"For the art of the times, art deserves freedom .”

……

These classic summaries are both beautiful and accurate.

Like the famous lines in Byron's poems, they are popular in the art circle.

The words of Detective Cat are the most accurate summary of Impressionism that Van Dorn has ever heard. It is not grand and enthusiastic, but it has a long aftertaste.

Just by summarizing this sentence,
Van Dorn feels that this podcast has the potential to become a classic. At least in the professional field, it will definitely attract countless professional painting lovers.

The reason why a classic adage is a classic adage is that it lasts for a long time.

Something beautiful enough has penetrating power.

Every time one more person heard this sentence, it meant another loss of face for Van Dorn.

"Brilliant, this is simply fantastic. This is the most heartfelt overview of Impressionism I've ever heard. Please allow me a small request, Ms. Detective Cat, to engrave it in the Impressionist Gallery, Taylor's Gallery It's on the sign at the door. It's so touching."

Just like to verify his guess.

At the end of the podcast, Van Dorn heard Director Tonks clap his hands excitedly and praised.

……

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

His pen speed is not fast, but very steady.

Gu Weijing pressed his fingertips slightly, feeling the touch of the ink-stained pen nib rubbing against the texture of the sketch paper as it slid across the sketch paper.

hiss~
The pen tip moved to the end of the character's hair with a slight curvature, and he gently and evenly retracted the force to make the line more elastic.

When drawing with a pen normally, you only need to pay attention to the fact that there is no ink accumulation on the tip of the pen, and that the pen enters the water smoothly.

But Mr. Cao asked him to paint with the thinking of line drawing.

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

The depth of the pen and ink, the thickness of the ink,
Gu Weijing handled everything meticulously.

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

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

He originally thought that Miss Shengzi would not agree to his "unreasonable trouble" so easily.

A thesis of art consists of the joint efforts of two people.

To be honest, if you judge the importance of him and Sakai Katsuko to this thesis by the hard work you put in when writing the thesis.

In fact, others are more important to this paper than myself.

Not only did Katsuko write a comparison and overview of the styles of Carroll and other great Impressionist painters in order to collect information, she basically flew back and forth between major art museums in Europe a while ago.

And besides expressing some of his own opinions, more than 90.00% of the hardest writing work in the thesis was also done by Katsuko Sakai.

From this point of view, Sakai Katsuko should have more decision-making power on this paper than herself.

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

It is not impossible for someone who cares about everything to point at his nose and yell at him.

But Katsuko Sakai readily agreed.

"Thank you, Miss Shengzi, I am very touched."

"By the way, Shengzi, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Gu Weijing pondered for a moment, then suddenly said.
