Chapter 633 Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou

The two of them had almost finished chatting at this time. Yu Yao put away the painting scroll and put it in the calligraphy and painting box, and then put it in the bag, and said, "I won't delay your business. I'll go first."

"You still want to run?" Lao Huang laughed, "Help Zhang Zhangyan, I'll treat you to dinner at noon."

"Send me after a meal together?"

"What else do you want? There is nothing that can't be solved with one meal. If not, then two meals."

"That's right, let's do it!"

The two walked out of the room, with Lao Huang in front and Yu Yao in the back. A young man who had been sitting at the Eight Immortals table on the side of the shop stood up immediately.

This guy looked younger than Yu Yao, but he was dressed more maturely. When shaking hands with Lao Huang, Yu Yao saw an auspicious pattern similar to a coiled belt on the back of his hand.

This pattern is very elegant, Yu Yao couldn't help but look at it twice, and the word "Wu Dai Dangfeng" suddenly popped up in his mind.

Indeed, this seems to be a pattern based on the belt style of the painting saint Wu Daozi.

After the young man shook hands with Lao Huang and reported their families, he didn't shake hands with Yu Yao, but he glanced at Yu Yao a few times.This guy claimed his surname was Gu, called Lao Huang Boss Huang, and asked Lao Huang to call him Xiao Gu.

Seeing Xiao Gu glanced at Yu Yao several times, Lao Huang immediately introduced, "Oh, Mr. Xiao Gu, this is the manager of our store. He is not sitting in the store. He happens to be here today. Let's have a look together."

Xiao Gu nodded, and then the three sat down around the Eight Immortals table.

Xiao Gu opened a backpack and took out a calligraphy and painting box from it.

Before Lao Huang looked at the painting, he asked first, "Excuse me, let me ask first, how did this painting come about?"

"Family."

Xiao Gu didn't seem to have much to say, so after he finished speaking, he raised his hand and asked Lao Huang and Yu Yao to look at him.

Inside this calligraphy and painting box is a rolled up mirror heart.

Mirror heart is a relatively simple form of mounting in calligraphy and painting. It is also called supporting sheet, which simply puts a layer of rice paper behind the painting.

Many calligraphy and painting mirrors are now usually added with a glass frame if they are to be hung.

The mirror heart is generally not big.The heart of this mirror is less than sixty centimeters high and at most forty centimeters wide. It is a blue and stone picture.ink.

The painting is relatively full, with jagged rocks and dense bluegrass.However, there is still an inscription in the "blank space" of the lower left rock:

Guimao summer night, two peaks.

One side of the seal: the ancestor of all fragrances.

Lao Huang read it once, and suddenly said to Yu Yao with deep meaning: "Yangzhou eight monsters!"

The two of them saw Shangguan Zhou's painting in the room just now. Shangguan Zhou was the teacher of Huang Shen, one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, and the author of this painting "Two Peaks" was another person among the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou: Luo Pin.

Luo Pin, named Dunfu and named Liangfeng, is the youngest of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, mainly because he was born late.

The reason for saying this is because the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" are not just eight people, nor are they from the same period.

The Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou are a group of people who were active in Yangzhou from the middle of Kangxi to the end of Qianlong, with similar painting styles.Therefore, in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting, the more accurate name is "Yangzhou School of Painting".

Of course, there are also some theories that single out eight people, but the selection of eight people is not uniform, and each has its own theory.

The painting style of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou was different from the mainstream style at that time, and it was unconventional, which is why they got the name of the Eight Eccentrics.

This painting of orchid and stone is consistent with the style of Luo Pin's works handed down from generation to generation, so it can be said to have a glance.

Yu Yao nodded, "Luo Liangfeng's Yougu Xinlan has never been a vulgar item in the market."

Hearing this, Xiao Gu couldn't help but glance at Yu Yao again, then smiled slightly, "It's full of joy."

Lao Huang didn't make a sound, Yu Yao also smiled slightly, "I'm just talking about Luo Liangfeng's style, I haven't commented on this painting yet."

Xiao Gu was startled for a moment, then frowned slightly, and said in a quiet but firm voice, "Graceful yet masculine, untouched by the world, you can tell it's Liangfeng's pen and ink at a glance."

Lao Huang laughed, "I haven't looked at it further, we can't be preconceived by your influence."

Xiao Gu didn't say any more, just spread his hands.

Yu Yao stopped there, and took a closer look at the mirror.

After Yu Yao finished reading, Lao Huang looked at him, "I have a look, but I always feel that there is something I can't express."

When Xiao Gu heard this, his face immediately became a little ugly.

Yu Yao stretched out his hand and clicked on the inscription, "First, Luo Pin's cursive inscription is not used much, and it is only used in a few very proud works. It is tall and straight, ancient and thick, and has a lot of flavor; second..."

Just as he was talking, Xiao Gu suddenly raised his hand, "Okay, it's fine if you don't accept it."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pressed on the heart of the mirror, "I won't sell it anymore!"

Lao Huang quickly withdrew his hand, "Mr. Gu, don't worry, we are just analyzing, and we didn't make a conclusion on the spot! In the art business, criticism is inevitable."

"Hehe, I didn't say you guys have come to a conclusion, it's just that I don't want to sell it!"

Lao Huang looked at Yu Yao again, then said softly, "Okay, this is your thing, so it's up to you. However, I don't only accept antiques."

The meaning of these words is obvious, imitation paintings can also be accepted.

In fact, calligraphy and painting works are relatively special, and some are better imitated, and the price is still acceptable.For some calligraphy and painting works at auction, adding a (subtitle) after the author means that the suspicion of imitation is too high.

"But I only sell it as an antique!" Xiaogu said, put away the mirror, put it into a calligraphy and painting box, and then put it into a backpack. He quickly picked up the backpack with one hand, said goodbye, and went to the door. go.

But before reaching the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked at Yu Yao and asked, "My palm eye, what is 'second'?"

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Secondly, Luo Pin was a painter in the Qianlong period."

Xiao Gu couldn't help being slightly taken aback, "This?"

"Boss Huang has already said that we have no conclusions, just comments."

Xiao Gu frowned and thought for a few seconds, then turned around and came back, "I want to ask you, the second meaning, but the year of the paper and ink is wrong?"

Yu Yao smiled and said nothing.

Lao Huang waved his hand, "This is the manager of our store. Since you are no longer selling it, you must understand the rules."

Xiao Gu looked at Yu Yao, then at Lao Huang, and then sat down in the original seat, "Okay, Boss Huang, please make a price."

Lao Huang coughed, "Xiao Gu, it's not that I'm going back on my word, it was just now, and now I won't accept it either."

Because, before Lao Huang said "not only accepting antiques", Yu Yao did not say the second point.Now, Yu Yao said that Luo Pin was a painter in the Qianlong period, which meant Lao Huang understood that there must be something in this painting that was not from the Qianlong period in the paper ink tray.

If the old paper and ink from the Qianlong period were used, and the rice paper on which the supporting piece was mounted was also old, then this imitation painting would be worth collecting.
