Antique Dealer

Chapter 110 Admiration
Sitting in his office, Qin Ji'an recalled his collection experience in the past few years.

The reason why he entered the collection business was because antique collections have investment properties. Like Lu Zheng said before, he felt that being at the bottom of the antique market now was a good opportunity to buy the bottom.

Later, he came into contact with more antiques, and he found that in addition to adding value, antiques can also enter the cultural circle through antiques, which made him very excited.

Qin Ji'an has always had a pain in his heart, that is, he didn't study hard in high school, dropped out of school to work, through his own hard work, and some luck, he also earned himself a good family business, as long as he doesn't waste it, All his life he has no worries about food and clothing.

Satisfied with material life, he naturally began to pursue spiritual life, so Qin Ji'an thought of solving his education problem, so he took the self-examination, but when he got the books back, he found that it was difficult for him to read these books now, self-examination You can only give up.

In addition, he didn't bother to engage in crooked ways, so he gave up the matter of re-learning.

When he discovered the benefits of antique collection, he was naturally quite pleasantly surprised, so he devoted most of his energy to antique collection, spent a lot of money on collection, participated in auctions, art salons, etc. across the country, so he also met many people in the circle , identification experts.

Of course, during the period, I also had conflicts with others because of the collection of antiques. Like the guy I met at the salon last week, it was because of the conflicts caused by the auction competition, and he laughed at him for making buns with yellow mud. He was so angry that he naturally wouldn't let it go, and the two became enemies afterwards.

Qin Ji'an was very annoyed when he thought of what happened in the salon before. Although Fang Hao's performance was already very impressive in the communication session that day, he still looked at it with old eyes, and he was somewhat contemptuous in his heart. After that, he did not control his emotions. It made Fang Hao feel dissatisfied, otherwise he would not have put it up for auction if he had asked Fang Hao to comment on the painting "The Picture of Remaining Water and Mountains", and it would not have been sold out.

Every time he thinks of this, he is very annoyed, but he does not remember Fang Hao, Fang Hao can pick up the leak, that is his ability, on the contrary, because of this, he admires Fang Hao even more, the young is so powerful, and he will definitely be in the future. A big player in the antique industry.

So, a friend of his came over for dinner just now, and when he went to reminisce about the old days, he learned that Fang Hao and his friend came over for dinner, and knew that it was a good opportunity to make friends, and that's why what happened just now happened.

Qin Ji'an waited in the office for a long time, but Fang Hao hadn't come yet, so he couldn't help thinking wildly, whether Fang Hao would stop coming, couldn't help but want to call his subordinates and ask about Fang Hao's situation.

"Dong dong!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Fang is here."

Qin Ji'an got up quickly: "Please come in."

The waiter opened the door, and Fang Hao walked in immediately.

With a smile on his face, Qin Ji'an stretched out his hand to greet him: "Teacher Fang, you are welcome!"

Fang Hao stepped forward and shook hands with him: "President Qin, you are welcome, thank you for your hospitality!"

"It's just a small matter." Qin Ji'an quickly invited Fang Hao to take a seat.

Sitting on the sofa, Fang Hao said with a smile: "I didn't expect this store to be opened by Mr. Qin, and Mr. Qin must have spent a little effort here."

Qin Ji'an said with a smile: "Fortunately, the main reason is that I have always adhered to the concept of 'integrity management', so there are more repeat customers."

Fang Hao said with a smile: "It's nothing if you can maintain an advantage for a day or two. If you can keep it going, it proves that Mr. Qin has a good management!"

Qin Ji'an smiled modestly, and then said: "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry to waste your time. I'll just say it straight. Today I mainly want to ask you to help me identify a painting by Qiu Ying. To be honest You said that this painting was bought together with the "Picture of Remaining Water and Mountains", but this painting is a bit controversial, and there are as many people who think it is authentic as it is fake..."

Speaking of this, Qin Ji paused for a moment, and Fang Hao smiled, knowing that he was because of the "Remaining Water and Mountain Picture", and wondered if he could be rescued.

"Okay, let me appreciate it."

Qin Ji'an immediately unfolded the painting he had prepared just now in front of Fang Hao.

Fang Hao looked carefully for a moment, then raised his head: "Mr. Qin, how much do you know about Qiu Ying?"

Qin Ji'an blew himself up: "Teacher Fang, to tell you the truth, I am not well-educated. I only checked some information about Qiu Ying on the Internet. The reason why I bought this painting at the beginning was entirely because of the seller. It was required to be bought together with "Remaining Water and Residual Mountains", and the price was not expensive, so I bought it. I also know my own shortcomings, so now I have been trying to catch up on the knowledge of calligraphy and painting."

"It's okay, everyone has gone through this step."

Fang Hao smiled, then pointed to the content on the scroll and said: "When Qiu Ying was creating, he used flexible brushwork, combining rigidity and softness, and various textures. The green and green coloring method changed the thick and thick of the Tang and Song Dynasties to light and light. Mingyan has formed a delicate and elegant style. In addition, although his works are delicately depicted, they are very elegant in terms of subject matter, language form and spiritual expression, which is especially difficult for a painter who was born as a folk painter.

Moreover, although Qiu Ying was born as a professional painter, due to the influence of literati paintings in the Wumen area, his creations are mostly infused with literati tastes, especially the paintings with the theme of literati playing in Qing Dynasty account for a considerable proportion.Therefore, there is a phenomenon in which the art of literati painting and the art of courtyard painting blend together...

Specific to this painting, the characters in the painting are very exquisite and lifelike, the faces of the characters are finely brushed, the eyebrows are fully visible, the clothes are simple and sharp, and the characters are portrayed with refinement, so this aspect seems to be no problem, but let’s put it in the overall Come and see, if you look carefully, you will find that he is a little out of tune with the surrounding environment, if the author is Qiu Ying, obviously he will not make such a mistake..."

After listening to the analysis, Qin Ji'an praised Fang Hao's eyesight. Although some experts also thought that there was something wrong with this painting, they gave various reasons, and they didn't get to the point like Fang Hao, who immediately got to the point. He is very admirable.At the same time, he was also a little disappointed, he really didn't miss out.

I heard Fang Hao continue to say: "However, although this painting is a copy, the level is very high, and it is still an old copy. I doubt whether it is the work of Liu Bonian, one of the three musketeers of 'Yun Qi Lou'."

"Yunqilou" is an antique shop opened by Yan Huiyu, a famous national industrialist in Lushang, in Shanghai in the 20s. It mainly collects and sells calligraphy and painting. Three masters of calligraphy and painting work in the shop: Liu Bonian, Pan Junnuo and You Wuqu are revered as the Three Musketeers of "Yun Qi Lou".

These three painters have profound traditional skills, especially Liu Bonian, who is superb in the reproduction and copying of ancient calligraphy and painting, and his fellow countryman Zhang Daqian is not allowed.In his early years, he worshiped the painter Wang Ge as his teacher and learned the freehand brushwork flowers of Wu Changshuo's school. Later, he extensively studied the essence of Song and Yuan paintings and formed his own style. Afterwards, he imitated countless fake works.

For example, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he fabricated a picture of "Mandarin Fish with Pear Blossoms", which was named as the work of Li Yanzhi, a painter of the Song Dynasty.

This work is vivid and natural, without the rigidity and cramped feeling produced by imitating the ancients.It was first quietly brought to the capital, and then sold to the Shanghai Museum by the art dealer Lu Liting, who collected it as a boutique in "Painting Garden Zhuying".

Liu Bonian felt that the situation was serious after seeing the album, so he took the initiative to write a letter to the relevant department, explaining the situation of his making this fake painting, and the truth came to light.
