Jianbao life

Chapter 890

The exchange will make Chu Chen feel more and more of his shortcomings, and at the same time, it will gradually come to an end.

After Mr. Wang explained a piece of bronze ware to everyone, he said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Mao is invited to reveal the last two collections of this exchange meeting for everyone."

While talking, Mr. Mao also walked quickly to the booth, revealing the true face of the next collection, but it was four paintings and calligraphy works. Chu Chen looked up and thought it should be four screens.

"This is Zhu Da's Four Screens of Flowers and Birds. Now everyone can come to the stage to watch them up close."

"What?! The four screens of Bada Shanren, are they real or not?"

"The gilt copper incense burner just now is already a fake, this one should be the real one!"

"It's not necessarily..."

"Okay, don't be sure, just be sure, if it's true or not, you'll know if you read it!"

Last year, Chu Chen got a paper fan of Bada Shanren's "Lotus Stone Roosting Birds". The market value of that fan alone is now at least one million, and it is even more fiercely contested at the auction. Target.

A fan is so precious, and now there are four screens on the Yuxian stage, no wonder everyone is so excited and unbelievable.

Amidst the hesitation of the crowd, some quick-witted people rushed to the stage to observe closely.During this period, Chu Chen noticed that both Chai Pingle and the young man sitting beside him had smiles on their faces.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen guessed that these four screens were probably in Chai Pingle's collection.

It’s not easy to come across a group of Bada Shanren’s works. Everyone’s excitement and enthusiasm can be imagined. There are people at the scene who want to stay on stage forever. The feelings are beyond words.

In this case, everyone is more and more convinced that this set of four screens should be the real thing.

After appreciating the work, Zhao Xueyi walked down from the stage, and as he walked, he gave a sound of admiration, and when he sat back to his original position, he said with emotion: "As expected of Bada Shanren, it is indeed a rare sight. Great painting!"

Uncle Wu, who was about to appreciate it on stage, heard this and asked, "Are you sure it's the real thing?"

Zhao Xueyi said with a chuckle: "No matter from the paper or the painting and calligraphy skills, I think it should be the authentic work of Bada Shanren. Of course, my level of appraisal of calligraphy and painting works is really not on the table. Whether it is true or not, I will listen to the little one later. Chen's opinion!"

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'm not good at appraising calligraphy and painting. Let's listen to Mao Lao's opinion later!"

When Chu Chen said this, he was not being modest.

In the vast market of artworks, there are so many antiques and cultural relics, there are so many fakes that make people feel dizzy and at a loss, and it is even more difficult to distinguish calligraphy and painting.

As mentioned earlier, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting is a practical and academic subject that requires a certain amount of experience in calligraphy and painting, as well as knowledge of literature, history, and art.In modern cultural relic identification, calligraphy and painting identification is the only type of cultural relic that cannot be completely replaced by scientific and technological means.

In calligraphy and painting, scientific and technological appraisal can only be falsified, not true.For example, a piece of calligraphy and painting advertised as Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty, even if the paper, ink, ink pad and other materials are tested by instruments, it is not sure that this work is Su Dongpo’s, and it is necessary to compare the styles of calligraphy and painting, consider the atmosphere of the times, and personal pen gender research, etc.

This is because people after the Song Dynasty can also create calligraphy and painting with the materials of the Song Dynasty, but if the paper and other materials are detected after the Song Dynasty, it can be concluded that this is a fake.

To prove that a piece of work is authentic, in addition to the fact that the material must be of that age, it is also necessary to have a clear understanding of the personality style of the calligrapher and painter, as well as the seal and inscription, and sometimes a large amount of literature research is needed as an auxiliary proof.

It is precisely based on this reasoning that Chu Chen believes that for a long time to come, the appraisal of calligraphy and painting will still need to rely on the experience of experts to make judgments.Since it mainly depends on experience, it will inevitably be restricted by many subjective factors, which makes the appraisal of calligraphy and painting the most difficult and most controversial subject among all cultural relics appraisals.

Chu Chen also encountered difficulties in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting in Liu's old home before.

Once, Mr. Qian brought several experts in calligraphy and painting appraisal, and brought a work of Tang Yin to Mr. Liu for help in the appraisal.Before Mr. Liu made the appraisal, he asked them to express their opinions. As a result, each of them had different opinions, even Mr. Qian was no exception.

In the end, Mr. Liu finished his appraisal and gave his own conclusion. Several experts still disagreed, and they had no choice but to break up unhappy.

Such things can be said to be too numerous to enumerate in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting.It can also be seen from this that it is difficult to appraise calligraphy and painting. Without corresponding knowledge and solid foundation, there is no way to become a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal.

Let’s talk about Chu Chen, although he can learn about Bo Ji, he still lacks experience in calligraphy and painting appraisal. If he is allowed to say one, two, three with the help of supernatural powers, but without supernatural powers, At best, he can only be regarded as an ordinary appraiser.

Chu Chen followed Uncle Wu to the stage. At this time, several people were watching with great interest, and the two of them didn't want to disturb them too much, so they took up an empty seat and watched.

Except for one of the four screens is landscape, the rest are pine stone, lotus stone double bird, bamboo stone double bird.The stones on the screen are simple and peculiar in shape, and the negative momentum is difficult. Because most of them are top-heavy inverted triangles, the screen presents a strong unstable state.

In the picture of Songshi, the stubborn stone rushes into the picture from the lower right corner, and when it is about to fall, it is cleverly supported by Qiao Song on the left, saving the danger from danger.Being able to seek stability in danger is a means for everyone.

In the picture of two birds on a lotus stone, hanging obliquely under the sparse lotus, a slightly deformed bird stands on two upside-down stones, with lowered brows and bowed heads, and glaring at the sky.Be wary and beware of each other, and depend on each other.

In another work, a group of rocks fell from the sky, squeezing the birds at the bottom of the picture, creating a heavy and depressing visual experience.Although there are two little birds in the painting, they do not seem to form a relationship of looking forward to each other.They curled up in their own small worlds, their eyes turned to the sky, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Chu Chen guessed that this might be a metaphor for the painter's situation at that time!

As soon as the four screens came into view, Chu Chen couldn't help admiring "good painting", but then he couldn't help but frown.

Judging from the brushwork and appropriate artistic conception of this painting, it should be the authentic work of Bada Shanren.But what surprised Chu Chen was that compared with his paper fan, this work seemed to lack a little charm, which made him doubt the authenticity of the painting.

"Are you thinking too much, or is there really a problem?"

While thinking, Chu Chen carefully looked at the painting in front of him, but based on his experience, he really couldn't tell that the four screens were fakes, so he had to use the power as a last resort.

After a while, Uncle Wu next to him asked, "Xiao Chen, are you watching?"

When Chu Chen came back to his senses, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back!"

The two walked back to their seats, and Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaochen, how are you doing?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, let's listen to Mao Lao's opinion on this matter. I'm really not very good at this."

Although he had already learned the result from his ability, he really couldn't give a solid reason, so it would be better not to say it.

Seeing what Chu Chen said, Zhao Xueyi didn't force it, so everyone patiently waited for Mao Lao's explanation.

After a while, seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, Mr. Xu who was next to him said first, "Old Mao, you should just say it outright. Just like this, everyone is discussing different ways."

Mr. Mao saw that everyone was in high spirits, and knew that what Mr. Xu said was true. There should be nothing to discuss in this situation, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone must have appreciated these four screens. First of all, I want to say that these four screens are really good paintings, and the author's imitation is very good, very good!"

When Mr. Mao said this, the scene was suddenly silent, and many people had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

After a while, Chai Pingle stood up with a whimper, and asked eagerly, "Old Mao, do you think these four screens are imitations?"

Mr. Mao nodded solemnly: "Mr. Chai, although I also hope that these four screens are the authentic works of Bada Shanren, but the fact is so, and this result is also agreed by all five of us."

Hearing that it was the unanimous conclusion of the five experts, Chai Pingle knew that the result was unlikely to change, which added a bit of bitterness to his face, and after a while, he said: "Mr. Please ask me..."

"Mr. Chai, if you don't tell me about this, I will definitely explain it..."

Next, Mr. Mao combined the characteristics of Bada Shanren with the performance of these four screens, and gave a vivid lesson to everyone. In the end, everyone believed Mr. Mao's explanation.

"Xiao Chu, have you guessed who the authors of these four screens are?"

Just as Chu Chen was absorbing useful experience from what Mr. Mao said, he suddenly heard Mr. Mao ask him a question, which made him slightly taken aback. He couldn't figure it out. How could Mr. Mao know that he had thought of the author? Who is it? Does Mr. Mao still understand him?
Mr. Mao definitely doesn't understand him. The reason why he thinks that Chu Chen may know the real author is also because Chu Chen's thoughtful appearance caught his attention when he came to the stage to appraise. When these four screens were full of discussions, Chu Chen didn't talk too much, so he felt that Chu Chen might have seen the inside story.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen's performance made Lao Mao sigh in his heart. Chu Chen can see that these four screens are wrong at this age, so his talent and level in calligraphy and painting appraisal How high!
If it hadn't been for Chu Chen being accepted as a disciple by Mr. Liu and replaced by someone else, he would have to find ways to get Chu Chen under his disciples!
