Almighty painter

Chapter 280 Talent
The death of a companion pet is an inevitable problem that every owner will encounter.

When an animal friend who has entrusted your happiness, your sadness, and your life, and appears in every minute and every second of your life like a little tail, suddenly leaves the world.

It really feels like a building block has been taken out of the heart, and a huge sense of emptiness comes, making people feel the sadness like the death of a loved one.

Some people can come out.

Some people can't.

No joke, every year around the world, cases of suicide due to the death of pets are reported.

Therefore, there is a term in psychology "PET LOST (Pet Lost Syndrome)" to describe a whole type of psychological problems caused by the owner's depression and low emotional state after the death of a pet.

When an autistic child encounters the sudden death of the old cat he grew up with.

The door to the mental defense that was slightly pried open suddenly fell down again.

This time, the crack in the door was completely poured with molten iron.

At the best of his recovery, Tony was even able to play with cat toys with Amy and play simple sports like tossing a ball on the lawn with the carer.

With Amy's passing.

He turned back into the kid who would never grow up, stupidly asking his father for cats.

Jane Arnold and the psychiatrist certainly didn't think about giving Tony a whole new pet.

honestly,
The old gentleman almost bought all kinds of cats in the entire New Zealand pet market.

As long as his son is happy, let alone a purebred cat worth $5000, even if he wants to play with a leopard cub worth $30, he can pack his son and send it to a private zoo in Dubai to satisfy him. requirements.

The thing is fate, little Tony doesn't want a chubby Persian cat, a graceful Russian blue cat, a cute ragdoll cat, or another Scottish fold cat.

All they want is Amy.

"Obviously, I only have the IQ of a child of a few years old, but I am so persistent in this kind of thing."

"In fact, he and Mr. Jane Arnold are really a father and son. One does not want to remarry or adopt, and only has his autistic son. And the other...he only wants his cat."

The assistant sighed and thought in a funny way: "I would have known that Mr. Jane Arnold should have given his son a whole Brazilian tortoise. That thing would have lived a long time."

He noticed that Jane Arnold was looking at him from the corner of her eye, and immediately calmed down.

The assistant thought about it for a moment and made sure that there was no expression on his face that would be taken as ridicule by the great artist.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Religious beliefs, political leanings, physical problems... everyone has taboo areas in their hearts.

The most important rule that an assistant needs to pay attention to 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 ten years. He lost his job because he thoughtlessly compared Tony to a well-known funny character in a local newspaper cartoon during an occasional private occasion.

This is the chance for him to take over.

"Have you received any reply from the artists who specialize in knife painting that Dr. Jin asked me to contact before?"

Jane Arnold did not pay attention to the assistant's psychological activities.

He pulled the sleeve out of his son's hand, waved to the maid to take care of Tony for a while, took a few steps to the side, and asked softly.

Dr. King is the personal psychiatrist hired by Jane Arnold.

The other party owns a well-known private psychological clinic in New Zealand.

In addition to occasionally providing psychological consultations to great artists, Dr. Jin 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 degree of credibility, and that Jane Arnold could accompany her son to read more of this book.

It would be great if we could invite several experts in painting, painting, and knife painting to participate in the treatment.

"Ms. Anya, the co-founder of Zaohe Space Gallery, and Professor Boggs from the Brooklyn Academy of Art both readily accepted our invitation to come to New Zealand for a short vacation. I have already booked a first-class ticket, and it should be within two days. You can fly here."

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. She engages in a new art genre, mainly finger painting.

However, she is also very good at drawing with knives. Once, an avant-garde artwork that included five different painting methods sold for a high price of 10 euros.

Professor Boggs is a leader in the field of knife painting.

Being able to invite these two people here is equivalent to directly bringing over half of the field of Hua Dao Painting.

Only an artistic giant like Jane Arnold can have such a big reputation.

"Emerald Lake is the most famous and beautiful tourist attraction in New Zealand. They will not be disappointed. I will ask the maid to clean up the two spacious bedrooms. If there is a request, the Hilton in Queenstown is also fine. Look at the two It's up to the artist." Jane Arnold said a few words casually, and then her tone became expectant: "Where's Ms. Detective Cat? Has she agreed to my invitation?"

"Detective Cat..."

The assistant hesitated for a moment and smacked his lips.

"Isn't it convenient for her?"

Jane Arnold raised her eyebrows, her disappointment evident in her expression.

"Not really. It's just that Detective Cat's agent responded 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 activities. But - Mr. Jane Arnold is her very Dear senior, I really hope I can help you. I don’t know if it’s convenient for Fang to communicate directly through the Internet. No matter what you need her to draw, she will definitely do her best.”

"They don't want to fly to New Zealand just to show off."

The assistant snorted unhappily: "You haven't even been famous for two days, but you already have such a big air. If this kind of person can win a few more awards in the future, his tail will jump to the sky!"

Jane Arnold is an artist worthy of being recorded in art history, while Detective Cat is just an online painter who has just entered the industry.

In terms of achievements and status, he is not worthy of carrying shoes for his employer.

The old gentleman eagerly begs you to give you face.

If you don't agree, you are shameless.

Being an assistant to a top artist and licking your employer is a hard job, but when facing the ordinary painters and publishers outside, it is a very satisfying dimensionality reduction blow.

Big presidents of Scholastic Group like Osborne should be polite and respectful when answering his phone calls.

Just say drawing with a knife.

Ms. Anya is the co-founder of a gallery, and Mr. Boggs is a tenured professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. Which one is more awesome than you?

After receiving Jian Arnold's invitation, he turned down all matters without saying a word and ran over in a hurry.

However, the least qualified detective cat is the best at showing off.Although the other party's agent just hopes to communicate the painting needs through the Internet.

But no matter how beautiful the words are, deep down, I still don’t want to make a special trip to New Zealand just for the old man!

"That's it...it's not impossible. Just meeting Tony, the effect should be better. Forget it, let's try this first."

The master illustrator was not as angry as the assistant.

He was just a little regretful, "If there is really a need then, I can also take the initiative to fly to Africa with Tony to visit the detective cat lady. As for privacy concerns, I guarantee my professional reputation. Will keep each other’s secrets.”

"I don't think this is necessarily necessary. Since both artists Boggs and Anna have agreed to our invitation, Detective Cat is not irreplaceable. How old is she? 30 years old? She can barely be considered a Mesozoic painter."

The assistant looked disdainful.

He deals more with business and life matters, rather than studying art.

But art also has to pay attention to basic rules.

Age and seniority are very important criteria for evaluating painters. Collectors like to buy works by old painters, not just because old painters die young and appreciate quickly in value.

As long as there are no physical problems, classical painters often improve their skills as they get older.

Cao Xuan and Gerhard Richter were both born before the 20s, and they are still alive today and can still create.

It takes a century to polish a skill, and even a stubborn stone will be polished smooth and smooth.

How many weeks has Detective Cat been famous?Compared with those old artists who have been tested by the market for a long time, how much advantage does your technical level have?
That book "The Little Prince" is good, the paintings are amazing.

But if it’s so good that it’s the only one in the world, that’s not necessarily true!

Moreover,
In the previous video of Mr. Hyperion, a popular Internet celebrity, the Internet illustrator Detective Cat actually received the same rating as Mr. Jane Arnold.

Even though there is a tie for the championship, at the level of Jane Arnold, she has already taken all the honors she deserves, and she doesn't care about you as a child.

It can be said that his personal assistant has no opinion on this matter.

That is just telling lies with open eyes.

"I think it's better not to invite her at all. An art giant like you owes me a favor, so why bother? She's not sensible, and many people only dream of this opportunity -" He curled his lips and looked at the old man in a flattering manner.

He stepped on the detective cat and licked Mr. Jian's tongue without leaving any trace. This is the so-called high emotional intelligence.

"Shit!"

"In terms of art, please don't comment outside in the future. This will make people laugh. Are you young?" Mr. Jane Arnold looked at his assistant as if he were an idiot. "Whether it's Ms. Anya, It’s still Professor Boggs, even they won’t agree with your point of view.”

The assistant froze.

He knew that he might have said the wrong thing, but for a moment he didn't quite understand what was wrong.

The employer is dissatisfied with his evaluation of Detective Cat...why?

Obviously this kind of young man is very arrogant, but Mr. Jane Arnold seems to have a serious attitude.

Although this old gentleman has always been low-key, his spirit has always been very high.

Outside, he is not the kind of nice gentleman who has no temper.

"Sorry, but did you tell me?"

The assistant couldn't understand it at all. He was a little aggrieved and more confused, so he asked tentatively.

Jane Arnold looked directly into the assistant's innocent and pitiful eyes, knowing that her tone just now scared the young man.

The old gentleman sighed.

My new assistant is actually quite good, smart in work, smooth in speech, and smart in all aspects.

The only drawback is that the horizon is a bit too small.

"You're not an art major, so I don't blame you."

Jane Arnold sighed and patted her assistant on the shoulder: "I'm just angry because it sounds so stupid. I just said that piety is the second factor that determines the height of art. Then you know that the first factor is What?"

"Connections? Resources? Efforts?"

"Maybe that's true, but I prefer to put the word talent first in my heart. When you reach my stage, you will understand that with a certain level of art, there will always be connections, and there will be many resources and many paintings. There is also a small amount of painting skills. Talent is the only thing that no amount of money can buy."

"I gave a speech at the Andersen Award Ceremony, telling how I practiced sketching day and night for six months, rubbed off all my fingerprints, and worked hard for half a year to pass the admissions examination of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. Reporters Reports described it as an inspirational story about success as long as you work hard. Countless children sent me letters saying they were very inspired by my story."

"But I have never told anyone that I worked equally hard on playing the piano when I was a child, but I was not even qualified to perform in children's performances to show parents my learning results."

Jane Arnold plucked the strings of the viola in her hand and made a hollow sound.

"Mozart was able to write the symphony "Bastian et Bastienne" when he was 8 years old. When I was 8 years old, I was stumbling on "Little Star". Is it because I don't work hard? No, it's because I have no talent. "

The old man smiled helplessly.

When she was young, Jane Arnold didn't think so.

The older you get and the closer you climb to the mountain of art, the more you will notice the role of talent in your career.

Especially someone like him who has changed majors.

The unsuccessful violin apprentice Jane Arnold and the master illustrator Jane Arnold have two completely different life stories.

When he was learning the piano, he was simply an idiot. He was demoted to a substitute in the violin troupe and was forced to play the simpler viola.Probably because he really has no talent, performing in a community church in the suburbs or becoming a music teacher in an elementary school will be the limit of his life, so the tutor is reluctant 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 someone willing to appreciate them.

But good talent cannot be obtained even if you ask for it.

"But, after all, Detective Cat only drew this set of drawing knife illustrations, but Professor Boggs has been famous for decades. No matter how talented he is, he must be reasonable."

The assistant sniffed.

"Some people study a painting for three years. Picasso only glanced at it twice and spent half a day copying the essence of it. He also introduced new works and created a better work than the original. . Some people can only work as a small painter when their hair is white. Raphael independently completed the church dome painting at the age of 17. How does this make sense?"

Jane Arnold recalled her surprise when she first watched "The Little Prince" and couldn't help but compare "The Little Prince" with her favorite work "The Miracle of Oz".

"I really envy this kind of...completely unreasonable...talent."

The old man sighed again.

He turned around and looked at his son who was not far away, and said softly: "Looking at the knife, I actually have a feeling that if there is any painter who can help Tony, it is this detective cat."
