Chapter 200 The God-Building Plan
Lin Fengmian went to study in France in 1919 and returned to China in 1925. He spent his 20 to 25 years in Europe. From 1920 to 1923, he successively studied sketching and oil painting at Dijon Academy of Fine Arts and Paris National Academy of Fine Arts. In 1923, he went to Germany for a study tour.During his stay in Germany, he created many works and had a deep understanding of Western oil painting.

Around 1931, Chiang Kai-shek and his wife returned to Fenghua and visited the Art Academy when passing by Hangzhou.When he saw the painting of "Suffering", he asked Lin Fengmian what he meant. Lin said: "Express human suffering." Jiang said: "Under the blue sky, how can there be so much pain?" The authorities need singing and dancing to raise peace, and they don't want to see real life. "

Lin Fengmian, who returned from studying abroad, is determined to revive the art of the motherland. His status in the cultural and art circles cannot be said to be low, and he is still young and handsome. Why is there such solemn sadness and depression?
Lin Fengmian was born in a family of stonemasons, and he worked with his grandfather to chisel stones since he was a child. He understands and deeply sympathizes with the sufferings of the working people.Two other events had a profound effect on his personality psychology, one was the death of his father in 1922, which he could only mourn alone in Paris.

The other incident was the sudden death of his wife Luo Da and the baby. Lin Fengmian was in great pain and stayed up all day and night. He carved a self-written inscription for Luo Da on the stone with his own hands.This heavy blow left introverted Lin Fengmian with an indelible trauma.His sensitivity and sincerity to life's painful paintings is a typical representative of the tragic school.

"In 1977, Lin Fengmian was allowed to go abroad to visit relatives, and he moved to Hong Kong until his death. In Hong Kong for more than ten years, he went to Brazil to visit relatives several times, and revisited Paris after 60 years of absence. Solo exhibition. Therefore, it also has a certain reputation in the international oil painting circle, which is the first favorable condition."

"Painting frequently, many works, many acquisitions and collections are the characteristics of that period. In Hong Kong, he lived a peaceful life and had a lot of room for creativity. He painted a lot of works that recall old works, whether it is landscapes, still lifes, or ladies. , flowers and birds, and opera characters. Or newly added Christ, nuns, dreams, Qu Yuan, etc. In general, he reproduced the two themes of calling for humanity and chanting life, with a more free, unrestrained and intense style.”

"So Lin Fengmian's paintings have a kind of spiritual impact that calls for beauty. Through the cool tones on the surface, and even the expression of sadness, it reflects people's admiration for tranquility, which is very in line with the current aesthetic requirements."

Everyone nodded, unanimously agreed to choose Lin Fengmian, the rest is easy to handle, collected through various channels, and his works are thousands of pieces in existence, many galleries in Hong Kong have them.

"The second one is Luo Zhongli, a representative of the realism school. He went to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium for training in 1984. He is currently the dean of the China Academy of Contemporary Art and the vice chairman of the China Oil Painting Association. He has held many solo exhibitions in more than a dozen countries around the world, which is very influential. force."

Wang Jiansen said with a smile: "Lao Luo is my friend. He is definitely a representative of the realistic school. Everyone should have seen the most classic father. It is extremely shocking!"

"That's right, that's why I chose him. Although he has already made a name for himself domestically, he is only average internationally. The next step is to talk about cooperation and push him to the altar!"

Wu Tianyuan took out a few photos and said with a smile: "You must not know the remaining three. They are all young painters, especially Zhang Yunfei, the son of Zhang Xincheng, who just graduated from the French Academy of Fine Arts. I have seen his works by chance. They are very interesting. Spirituality, a bit like Picasso."

"Huh? It's interesting!"

Wang Jiansen said curiously: "It's true, it looks a bit similar at a glance, not bad!"

"Mr. Zhang and I have a very close relationship. Zhang Yunfei is one of his own, so this candidate is no problem. Then there is Shiraga Kazuo from RB. He painted RB paintings when he was a student, and turned to oil painting after graduation. He feels that the brilliant colors of oil paints and all The flowing charm shown is unmatched by the mineral pigments used in RB paintings."

"He even thinks that this sense of flow is the artistic expression form he dreamed of. In order to confirm his own position, he has carefully studied "paintings as emotional expressions" such as Fauvism and Expressionism, and he has seen the direction of his art from it."

In order to emphasize the fluidity of oil paints, he first applied them with a palette knife, then directly with his hands, and finally developed into using his feet. In 1954, he created the "foot painting method".On the floor of his studio, there is usually an oversized canvas. He holds the rope hanging from the ceiling with both hands to maintain his balance, and his feet glide directly on the canvas crowded with paint.As the trace of the depiction, his movement behavior clearly appears on the screen.

"Hiroaki Yamanaka found a few RB collectors who specialize in Kazuo Shiraga. They have thousands of works in their hands. We can eat slowly and wait for the opportunity."

"The last one is the Impressionists. A descendant of Freud, Romon and Jenny have already contacted him. He is also a painter who is just starting out. He has great potential, but now he still needs external help. He is also a suitable candidate."

In the end, Wu Tianyuan concluded: "These are just candidates I have just researched. Everyone can collect those who have potential in the future, especially young and middle-aged painters with good character and strong artistic expression. They can be reserved."

"Brother Wang, you have a lot of Wu Guanzhong and Zhang Daqian in your hand, right? At that time, they can be used as high-end boutiques, and it depends on whether you are willing to part with them or not?"

Everyone looked at Wu Tianyuan with new admiration. Although his plan still had some details worth discussing, the overall idea was clear, the steps were complete, and the feasibility was high!With the joint efforts of eight people, it will be sure!

"No problem!" Boss Liu echoed: "Now is the era of hype. As long as you have resources and connections, you are just a stone, and we can make a flower, not to mention expressive works of art!"

"Yes, on the Internet, I will join forces with Xiao Ma, Penguin and Du Niang, and we will become a household name overnight!"

"Alibaba has also started to operate an art channel, and Youku and Zhou Wenyan's programs are warming up together, so we can speculate in advance!"

"I know a lot of critics and galleries, and Bai Hua and Lao Guo are responsible for receiving goods. They are good at this kind of thing!"

Wu Tianyuan was very excited. This is the strength of the team. Eight big local tyrants work together to do one thing. It is difficult to say internationally, but in China, there is nothing impossible!
"You still focus on improving the reputation and quality of the museum! This is the lifeblood of Tianyuan! After becoming the most high-end brand in the future, everything will be easy to handle. As for other things, leave it to us, no problem."

Boss Liu made the final decision, and Tianyuan Fund's first investment plan was officially finalized and implemented immediately.

Wu Tianyuan sighed, it is still easy for the big local tyrants to cooperate, if you have an idea, you can do it right away!Each has a deep background, one person can't handle two people, two people can't handle four people, and I really can't imagine that there are eight people in the market who can't handle things together!

It is also they who believe in Wu Tianyuan and are optimistic about the huge appreciation potential of artworks in the future. The domestic market is saturated and profits are very low. No one can feel the crisis of being overwhelmed by heights better than them!Now there is a good project, making money and collecting it without any mistakes. It sounds like a cultural export, to build the competitiveness of Chinese traditional culture in the world, what a high-end atmosphere!
"By the way, in view of the inspiration from Wang Zhongjun's exorbitant auction price a few days ago, I have another idea. The official members of Tianyuan will only be eight of you, and there will be no more. Rare things are more expensive. But the more collaborators, the better. This is connections."

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "How about we also launch the most popular private customization? If you have friends around you who like to collect, I will launch a network to find out, maybe we can achieve a win-win situation. Don't forget that we also have Yamanaka Hiroaki and Polar Bear !"

A few people happily said: "No problem, there are people who want to get to know you all day long, and there are rich rich people who have nowhere to spend! Whether it's true love or investment, as long as the ancestors can stay in the country, it's a good thing! "
