"The president will award a medal to the painter?"

Jin Muchen's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it. The United States, which has always advertised freedom and democracy, is also playing this trick?

"Of course, every two to three years, some painter, or other category of artist, gets the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the President, or the Congressional Medal!"

Helen smiled and said to Jin Muchen, who couldn't help but slander. network

"Those politicians know the art of shit!"

"Hey, it's true that many of them don't really understand art, but they only need to know that these artists can influence a lot of people, and these people will affect their votes, that's enough."

Wipe, talk about it, it turns out that the root is on this!

It turns out that in the United States, you painters also have to stand in line. If you accidentally stand in the wrong place, hey, sorry, no matter how good your paintings are, the National Gallery will not collect your works.

In this way, no matter how well-known you are in the arena, in the eyes of the official and official supporters, you are just a grassroots, not a famous orthodox!

Helen explained a few more words to Jin Muchen. Jin Muchen finally understood the truth here. Politicians give awards to painters or artists, which is completely mutually beneficial.

Politicians need these artists to help them spread their influence so that they can get more votes in elections.

Artists, on the other hand, need this official paper document to establish their status in the arena.

So it's actually said to the bones. Just a deal.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's focus on the painting, shall we? After finishing Jeffrey's painting, let's take a good look again, Anthony's work."

Jin Muchen said to Helen. About the Dao Dao here, it is enough to know it, too much entanglement is meaningless, anyway, they are here today for these paintings, after seeing Jeffrey's paintings, he wants to take a good look. Anthony's painting.

The Fairy Tale Gallery has launched two painters with distinct characteristics at one time, and the painting styles are still the same. Obviously, they want to create a topic, and even have ulterior motives to choose a winner between the two. Once one wins and gets invited to the U.S. art tour, their investment is considered a success.

Unlike Jeffrey, this Anthony. Wise's painting style is completely realistic.

As I said before, because of the strong discourse power of the West, the powerful people in these regions like the impressionist style of painting to show their b-style. In this way, Impressionism became the mainstream of the oil painting school.

The realist faction has gradually become a minority and a marginal faction. And the battle between these two factions has never stopped.

The two schools of painting not only competed with each other for painters and paintings, but also criticized each other. Such battles began in the 19th century. has continued to this day.

In the 21st century, the realistic painting style. It was even attacked by the Impressionists as an artistic imitation, mainly because of modern photography. The advent of photography.

Don't you like realism? Is it possible that your realistic effects can still have photos, or is the film still good?

Therefore, in the mouths of Impressionist artists, realistic paintings cannot be called oil paintings at all, but can only be called imitations of art.

When Jin Muchen and Helen saw Anthony's painting, their first impression was, those Impressionist painters seemed to be right, where is this oil painting? Isn't this a photo?

Most of his paintings are based on female models, and the images of the female models in these paintings are very clear. If you can see some ink marks in the corners of the paintings, it is really difficult for you to tell what it is. An oil painting, and a photograph of a magnified size.

But when Jin Muchen was appreciating his paintings, he immediately noticed the difference in his paintings. His paintings seemed to have a kind of magic that can make people think.

At first glance, you will think this is a photo, but after looking at it, you can see the difference between the painting and the photo.

A photo is flattening the image, reducing the relationship between the colors, and the shadows look stiff.

And Anthony's paintings, if you look closely, you can see subtleties of image and tone that cameras and many people can't see.

But he was able to draw this subtlety, and Anthony's paintings are realistic because of his smooth pictures. Only when you understand his paintings, you can enter the picture world he created.

This feeling is so wonderful, even shocking, that after seeing a few of Anthony's paintings, Jin Muchen has a feeling that he can't stop.

He even had a feeling that whenever he saw Anthony's paintings, it was as if he was there, and he was the one sitting behind the drawing board and looking at the models.

Helen obviously didn't understand much about Anthony's painting.

In fact, her main purpose today is to invest in artworks. As for the interpretation of paintings and the prediction of their appreciation potential, of course, this work must be handed over to Jin Muchen.

At this time, she saw that Jin Muchen didn't speak for a long time, and her expression was sometimes sad and happy, so she couldn't help asking.

"What's the matter? What did you see? Is this Anthony's painting so beautiful?"

"Well, how do you say it? His paintings are really good, and they gave me a lot of shock. Look here, if you look closely, you can see that this Anthony started painting in a very free way. , he uses blobs to calculate size and proportion. He then uses clear undertones to grasp tone and value. Paintings in this process appear somewhat abstract, consisting of large areas of color-shape structures. He uses broad, sparsely flat surfaces In the painting method, the bare canvas is often placed in the middle. Then the open space is slowly filled in, creating a breathing lattice, like the structure of painting. This method seems to be like Cezanne's method. But Cézanne valued the discontinuity of his touch, while Antoine's painting was compact so that the colors were more precise."

This is not because Jin Muchen can show off, but he feels it. During this period of time, he has made a bad supplement for his knowledge of oil painting. At this time, he finally saw the results. For Western oil painting, he has now made a breakthrough and started to get started.

“The miracle happened in the final stage. As he continued to paint, he worked on everything with precision, adjusting color relationships, adding flexible highlight treatments to complete each element. With the interplay of sharpness and looseness, the picture slowly grew Lights up and breathes. That makes his paintings look so realistic. Unlike static images, his paintings can have some kind of subtle biological energy that can be thought-provoking, if you look at it for a long time, you will There is an immersive feeling.”

Jin Muchen gave his own evaluation. Although Jeffrey's paintings were also good before, they couldn't bring him such a shock.

Therefore, his judgment on these two painters has already tilted at this time, and that is Anthony. Wise, this realistic painter who is not very popular, is more powerful, and his paintings have more potential for appreciation.

Helen listened to Jin Muchen's explanation and looked at the oil paintings in front of her.

She had never studied oil painting before. Although she received a noble elite education since childhood, in terms of art, it is mainly related to music. She really does not know much about oil painting.

This time, it was also because I had some spare money in my hand and wanted to invest in some art.

That's why Jin Muchen, who had found half a bucket of water, didn't expect Jin Muchen to tell her so much.

Although this Anthony. She didn't see much about Wise's paintings, but she understood what Jin Muchen said. He was telling him, compared to Jeffrey. Watt, he's more bullish, Anthony. Wise!

"Thank you, I really didn't expect that I would be able to meet a bosom friend here."

A slightly hoarse voice rang in their ears.

The two turned their heads and saw a pale man with long hair and a beard just standing beside them. Because of the beard on his face, he couldn't tell how old he was, but he was very thin and very old. It is easy to give people a feeling of weakness.

"You are?"

"Hello, I'm Anthony. Wise, I'm glad you appreciate my paintings and give me such a high rating!"

The beard on the thin man's face was split open, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. Jin Muchen held the man's hand slightly embarrassed.

He also didn't expect that while looking at the painting, he would still meet the righteous master.

Helen, on the other hand, acted as a lady and did not participate.

"Your paintings are really great~www.wuxiaspot.com~ gave me a lot of shock."

"thanks..."

Anthony and Jin Muchen greeted each other a few times, and then they were dragged away by the organizers. The charity auction is about to start. As the organizer, of course, before the shooting begins, the painters will be asked to speak a few words.

Jin Muchen looked at Anthony's back thoughtfully. This Anthony's painting is indeed very good, but he doesn't give people a good feeling. It's not about his politeness or morality, but about his body.

When he shook hands with him just now, Jin Muchen could sense that his hands were cold and slippery, and he was stunned for a moment. This was not like the hands of a man in his thirties.

When looking up again, don't look at this guy's pale face, but he can see an obvious black aura from this guy's hall. Make sure you read it right, this guy is sick!

It seems that this golden eye not only has the function of distinguishing jewels, but also seems to be able to see a person's physical health. . . (To be continued)
