Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

What surprised Lin Ran was the detail processing. Although the artist used some surrealist painting methods, the overall picture was outlined with thick lines, as if he had used a lot of force to wipe the canvas. Generally speaking, this is where Lin Ran doesn't understand oil painting, which is different from Hua Xia's emphasis on details.

But this European and American style also has another kind of beauty.

For example, these lines one after another make the whole picture more impactful in expression and add some dynamic feeling.

In addition, the entire oil painting uses dark colors, as if to express some kind of thoughts.

It just looks a little tinted under the sunlight behind it.

This design brings a unique and powerful visual impact to the picture.

The dark and light colors create a sharp contrast on the table.

So that the whole picture not only does not look abrupt, but also more coordinated and natural.

Lin Ran was already sure that this was a Pop style oil painting.

Now we have to identify the painter, hoping that it is not a painter who appears out of thin air.

Lin Ran once again paid attention to the details of the watch and the orange in the picture, and observed his handling of colors, lines and details.

First of all, this dark style contrast should indicate that the era background of its birth was in a period of chaos, such as war or the Great Depression, otherwise it would not have such a dark color.

Oil painting is not only a tool for artists to show off their skills, but also a microcosm of the times, containing the artist's thinking and expression of the current society.

Yang Guozhi, standing nearby, did not hide the smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth turned up, looking like a sneer.

Yang Jianlong and Lin Ran were both looking at the painting carefully and did not notice his expression.

However, during the appraisal process, they all seemed very focused, and the room fell into silence.

"If you can't tell, don't force it." Yang Guozhi smiled.

Originally, he planned to take this oil painting with him. After all, it was really difficult for Lin Ran to authenticate foreign works of art.

However, no one replied to him.

Yang Jianlong was still looking at the details of the oil painting with Lin Ran, but no one paid any attention to Yang Guozhi.

This can make the atmosphere a bit tense.

By the time Lin Ran came to his senses, Yang Guozhi was already sitting on the sofa, holding a coffee cup in his hand with an impatient expression.

Lin Ran didn't understand what happened at all, and felt that he was a little angry.

However, it doesn't matter to him.

Lin Ran said: "Mr. Yang..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Guozhi interrupted him: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of this oil painting?"

"The artistic value is quite high." Lin Ran replied. He originally wanted to ask about the specific origin to confirm the identity of the author, but he had a strange feeling and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Yang Guozhi raised his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, this is my most proud collection."

He put down the coffee cup in his hand, raised his head and stared at Lin Ran with a smile.

Lin Ran was a little confused by his words, and just said: "Mr. Yang, the creative level of this painting is indeed very high."

"That's good." Yang Guozhi smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please tell me your appraisal results."

Looking back on today's events, Yang Guozhi still felt a little unhappy.

If he can get the jade from the Qin State, he will have another rare and genuine item in his collection.

As a result, because Lin Ran's so-called cultural relics should belong to the country, he was asked not to buy the Danshi.

No matter what happened today, he felt like he was at a loss, even though Lin Ran helped him stop the loss of buying the meteorite.

For him, money is not an issue at all, what matters is the price of the collection.

Losing a collection was not a big deal at first, but after returning to his home and coming to the field where he was good at, he became more and more angry as he thought about it.

But if Lin Ran is really from the Ministry of Chinese Language and Culture as Yang Jianlong said, then he can't contradict him face to face, he can only be weird.

Lin Ran had two lifetimes of experience, how could he not detect something wrong with his tone?

He didn't want to agree to the appraisal in the first place. If it weren't for Yang Jianlong's sake, he wouldn't have come at all.

Forget it, now that you're here to sort things out, leave early.

Lin Ran straightened his back and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, the appraisal results I mentioned may not be completely accurate. Let's just talk about it today."

Unexpectedly, Yang Guozhi laughed: "Okay, you tell me, if the appraisal result is correct, I will give this painting to you."

Lin Ran was not interested in this oil painting. Among his collections, they were all works by Chinese artists. How could there be a foreign painting mixed in.

not to mention...

Lin Ran didn't respond to the bet he proposed. He said this to leave a way out for himself. He didn't want to offend Qi Province's business bosses, who would open their stores here in the future.

Although it seems that he and Yang Jianlong are related, it always feels like this person has no sense of family affection.

The oil painting in front of you is not only exquisite in painting, but also wrapped in an oak frame, which is full of luxury in this era.

For Pop-style oil paintings, it is impossible to determine the artist through color and painting style.

Fortunately, this painting is an abstract painting. Although I am not very familiar with it, I can still make a guess.

Lin Ran returned to the picture frame and rubbed his eyebrows with his right hand.

"If I guess correctly, the table in this painting should be Allen Jones."

In Lin Ran's impression, this painter who was born during the war liked to use color contrast to outline the picture.

For example, the style of the mixed yin and yang color in front of you is exactly his style, one of the representatives of the abstract expressionist school of painting.

Lin Ran's words immediately stunned Yang Guozhi.

Unexpectedly, he really recognized this oil painting, which made Yang Jianlong look at the young man in front of him with admiration.

Lin Ran just smiled and said nothing, and finally added, "Unfortunately, this painting is a fake."

This sentence really made Yang Guozhi dumbfounded.

"What did you say..."

"What did you say?" Yang Guozhi's voice sounded as his eyebrows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.

Lin Ran said calmly, "This painting is most likely a fake."

"How do you see it?" Yang Guozhi asked immediately.

It is not easy to find evidence of fake foreign oil paintings.

Lin Ran has already determined that the painting is Michonne's work, in fact, he has already determined most of it.

Basically, this kind of oil painting has no problem selling in China. There are a lot of people who admire foreign things. If they can get this painting in, it's basically done.

Because there are very few people in China who have a perfect study of oil painting.

Even if it is placed in the auction house, most people will not be able to see the loopholes in it.

Lin Ran only needed to appraise the items this time, so there was no need to be too fussy.
