Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 69 Ruth, do you know what colorful black is?

The room Yang Xin lives in is the most luxurious palace suite on the Titanic, a first-class guest room that combines luxury and art.Many details here imitate the Palace of Versailles in France, and many furniture are full of Louis XV style, which is later called the Rococo decoration style.

This style of furniture and decoration is known for expressing gracefulness and elegance, because it was during the reign of Louis XV that the salon culture centered on women in the eighteenth century was formed.Since it is a social activity for a small number of people, the location is generally in a room with a relatively small space.

The Rococo decoration style is very suitable for showing the luxury and elegance of a small space. It can be seen that the decoration of the Titanic really took a lot of thought.

Ordinary guest rooms may be narrow and crowded, but Yang Xin's palace suite is different. Not only does it not have the slightest feeling of being small and low, but it also has complicated facilities such as: antechamber, small hall, lounge, smoking room, entertainment room, Gym...multiple rooms for different purposes.

What Yang Xin likes the most is the outer corridor room with wooden tables and thin rattan lounge chairs. The lighting here is very good, and you can directly enjoy the scenery of the sea. There are potted plantains and other green plants in the corridor room to embellish the atmosphere and Masks any lingering paint smell that hasn't fully dissipated.

The decoration is modest, simple and bright, which is exactly what Yang Xin likes. If he can do whatever he wants, he would rather move here than face the fine teak and brass decorations, chandeliers and murals in the room. Reliefs and works of art, Indian and Persian carpets form a dazzling and colorful space.

All of this was introduced by the head waiter who was two steps behind Yang Xin. If Yang Xin were asked to describe the luxury of the palace suite, Yang Xin would definitely say: "Fuck! It's really luxurious."

"Ask your manager for me. When you take this cruise next time, I hope that there will be customers with a simple style on this cruise. Remember, simplicity is not simple." Yang Xin patted the head waiter on the shoulder and said .

"Okay sir, I will truthfully report your opinion to the manager. Excuse me, sir, do you have any other orders?" the head waiter asked politely.

Yang Xin shook his head. Amidst the resignation of the head waiter, Yang Xin continued to walk inside and looked out at the scenery outside from the window facing the sea.

At this time, the Titanic had slowly left the ocean pier under the pull of three tugboats. In this way, the world's largest mail ship began its first and only voyage.

After drinking the wine in the cup, Yang Xin walked back leisurely.In the cabin, Lai Fujie was supervising the waiter to put the luggage, while the two maids were placing the oil paintings taken out of the painting box under Ruth's command.

"Is it this one?"

"No, it's the one with many faces! That's right, it's this one!"

"Miss, do you need to take them all out?" asked a pretty maid.

"Yes, this room needs color!" said Ruth.

Yang Xinxin, leaning on the door and watching all this, was speechless. Luxurious decoration and bright flowers are already colorful enough here, but there are still oil paintings filled with various colors of paint. Does it have to be decorated as a general cargo compartment to be satisfied?

Yang Xin felt that it was time to give Ruth an art class and let her know what colorful black and colorful white were.If I can't stun you, I'm not a straight man.

What annoyed Yang Xin even more was that these oil paintings were all bought by Ruth, and they were very valuable, and it didn’t hurt to sell them. According to Yang Xin’s observation, Ruth must have spent a lot of money on Karl before, eh , it's time to limit Ruth's consumption.

Yang Xin was leaning against the door and looking at his servants. By the way, Karl's servants all looked good.At this moment, Ruth suddenly said to Yang Xin: "You don't understand art at all, your taste is far inferior to mine, and you have no appreciation for art, so don't say they are random graffiti, let alone use Look at me with this disgusting look."

"No, I want to place this painting myself!" Ruth said while holding a black portrait mainly in gray and khaki tones: "They are so intoxicating, like in a dream, very real but nothing No logic."

"What's the artist's name?" interrupted the pretty maid.

"It seems to be called Picasso!" Ruth obviously didn't know much about the creator.

Who knows the name of Picasso?He is the founder of modern art, and his artistic career almost runs through his whole life, with rich and varied styles of works. Later generations use the saying "Picasso is always young" to describe Picasso's changeable art forms.

Historiography has to divide his numerous works into different periods - the early "Blue Period", the "Pink Period", the "Black Period" in his prime, the "Analytical and Synthetic Cubism Period", and the later " Surrealist period" and so on.

The several works in Ruth's hands are the works he just entered from the "pink period" to the "black period". Although he has not reached the peak of his work at this time, the rough and vigorous style in his works has been formed.

Yang Xin suddenly remembered a little anecdote about Picasso, so he said with a smile: "Someone once pointed to a painting and asked Picasso: What does your painting mean? Why can't I understand it at all? Guess how Picasso answered." ?”

"How to answer?" Ruth turned to look at Yang Xin curiously and asked.

"Picasso said: Can you ask what a rose means?"

If this little anecdote was in later generations, the reaction would definitely be "hehe", but now, this little anecdote amused Ruth, "This Picasso is quite funny!"

Ruth looked at the painting in her hand, tilted her head and thought about it, she asked Yang Xin, "How do you know?"

Yang Xin smiled, but said nothing.Of course, Yang Xin couldn't tell Ruth that in later generations there would be an instrument called a "mobile phone" that could be connected to the Internet. Through Du Niang, Picasso could be investigated.

"By the way! What do you think of his paintings?" After asking this question, Ruth regretted a bit. In Ruth's opinion, Karl, a playboy, has no research on art. His hobbies are other than smoking and drinking. , and to show off his nouveau riche face, or now that Carl’s hobby needs to be added, that is women. When Ruth thought of the pair of sisters she met when she entered the client, Ruth felt a little unhappy .

Yang Xin decided to teach Ruth a lesson, to show the knowledge of the straight man of steel, so Yang Xin began to spray in a serious manner: "The modeling ability is very solid, and the ability to absorb the artistic techniques of other schools and change it for his own use seems to be very good. Outstanding, the combination of childishness and skill is fully reflected, the creation is colorful and eclectic, each piece of work is poured with enough enthusiasm, and the release of human nature and emotion is also outstanding... But, I dislike!"

Ruth listened to Yang Xin's eloquence, first she was disdainful, then surprised, then surprised, and finally shocked. Yang Xin's evaluation was not only extremely professional, but also insightful, to the point, pertinent, and the language in place. Feeling empty.

Ruth looked at Yang Xin in a daze. If the person who said what she just said was a discerning art judge or a senior painter, she could still praise the other party's aesthetic ability with admiration, but now it is In her mind, she has always been equated with an art idiot, and the upstart boy made such a brilliant comment. This kind of psychological gap is really hard for her to accept.

"Is this Carl? Is this the arrogant, unartistic man?" Ruth asked herself in her heart.

"Why don't you like it?" Ruth asked subconsciously in a trance.

"Because I don't need it. A man of my age no longer needs to learn Picasso's ideas and artistic conception from these works. As long as the artistic conception of the works is vivid, just simple appreciation is enough!"

Of course, Ruth can hear the meaning of Yang Xin's words, that is, I already have enough psychological depth and firm beliefs, as well as a good outlook on life, the world, and values, and I don't need to rely on the things conveyed by other people's works to fill my heart. The emptiness of the world, and there is no need to pursue anything...

"Oh, God!" Ruth cried out in her heart. For the first time, she found that Carl's eyes were so special, as if they contained infinite wisdom, and that faint smile and calm demeanor were formed. A unique taste.

"Unexpectedly, he also has such a charming side?" Ruth asked herself, had she been living in a dream before, and ignored the excellence of this man!
