At this time of the exchange meeting, Chu Chen, as the "new man" who made his first appearance, was also in the limelight. In addition to the two collections at the beginning, he also expressed some opinions on the remaining ten collections, which were affirmed by everyone.
So far, Chu Chen's appraisal level has been recognized and admired by all the people present. It can be said that the purpose of attending the exchange meeting has been completed.
However, as the old saying goes, Mu Xiu is in the forest, and the wind will blow. He wanted to be at ease and wait for the end of the exchange meeting. And he would not have taken out Xu Wei's manuscript if he knew that. But what he didn't expect was that Mao noticed him again.
Seeing that he had become the focus of attention again, Chu Chen gave a bitter smile in his heart and stood up and said, "Mr. Mao, I'm really not good at calligraphy and painting appraisal..."
"Don't be vain!"
Before Chu Chen finished, Mao waved his hand and interrupted him: "young people, don't be afraid of this and that. We are now in an exchange meeting. It's no big deal if we make a mistake. Besides, I think you should get something."
"Then I'll tell you what I think is wrong. I hope you can correct me."
Seeing that Mao gave himself a look of encouragement, Chu Chen felt that he couldn't say it again. He said, "I think this work should be an imitation of Zhang Daqian."
"An imitation of Zhang Daqian?"
"If it's him, it's possible!"
"That's right. Now think about it, there is a shadow of Zhang Daqian in this painting..."
In the early Qing Dynasty, the authentic works of Badashanren, a famous master of calligraphy and painting, were precious. There were many imitations and fakes in the market, and it was not surprising that they even appeared in some auctions.
For example, there are many kinds of flowers and birds made by Badashan people. These works were not only done by some unknown painters or counterfeiters, but also by some famous artists. Among them, the most famous one should be Zhang Daqian.
In the past, Zhang Daqian not only imitated Shi Tao's calligraphy and paintings, but also imitated Badashan people's masterpieces. Although the ink, composition, layout, title, etc. are very similar.
However, it is difficult for his works to naturally reveal the charm, artistic conception and true feelings of the original works, which are quite different from the temperament, personality and mood of Badashan people in different periods. Therefore, each fake work can only be similar in shape, unnatural and complete at one go. The traces of deliberate can be seen, and the experts can see the flaws.
Of course, this is for experts. If it's an ordinary buyer, it's hard to see it. Especially when some people see the seal of Badashan people's money, they believe it's "true" without careful study. They are not only careless, but also lose a lot of money.
The reason why Zhang Daqian's imitation of Bada Shanren's paintings is superior to other similar fake paintings is that he has excellent brush and ink skills and strong imitation. In addition, he has deeply studied Bada and Shitao's paintings, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish their authenticity.
Moreover, in his early years, he searched for some old paper and dyed it with light brown yellow. After painting, he deliberately exposed and mounted it several times, washed it with some solution, and finally applied a layer of Bletilla striata water. He made his own fake paper, and even forged cracks on the surface of the paper. He will also use Baigan wine to remove the oil of the new printing color and use it to replace the old one. The secret methods used are numerous.
Everyone at the scene knows Zhang Daqian's history in great detail. Therefore, when Chu Chen's voice just fell, many people at the scene showed a sudden look and began to talk about it one after another.
Seeing this, Mao nodded happily, and then asked, "Xiao Chu, can you continue to talk?"
"All right."
Chu Chen nodded, organized his speech, and then compared the style of these four screens with that of Zhang Daqian. In the end, everyone basically agreed with Chu Chen that this is really an imitation of Zhang Daqian.
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Mao said with a smile, "not bad, Xiao Chu. Now you are an expert in calligraphy and painting."
Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Mao, you flatter me. I can only see it because I happen to have a painting by Li Da at home and I know something about Zhang Daqian's painting style. But if I want to identify calligraphy and painting, it's not like this. I don't even have a master in the identification of calligraphy and painting. How can I be regarded as an expert?"
Although we all know that Chu Chen's words are somewhat modest, it still makes many people feel that this is normal. Otherwise, Chu Chen's age has such a high vision in porcelain, not to mention his outstanding ability in calligraphy and painting appraisal.
At this time, Chai Pingle asked eagerly, "Mr. Mao, if this painting is made by Zhang Daqian, is it lower or higher than the real one?"
Mr. Mao said: "most people think that it was written by Zhang Daqian. Even if it's" fake ancient ", it's also" valuable ". But in terms of artistic creation, after all, it's true. In fact, the value gap is not small. Fortunately, these four screen imitations are very large, and the value of them is similar to that of the real ones. It's also a pity that if Zhang Daqian's appreciation can be left on the works, the value will undoubtedly be higher. "Although he was ready, Chai Pingle was still disappointed when he heard this, so he asked, "how much is it worth?"
After thinking about it, Mr. Mao gave Chai Pingle a reference price. Hearing this price, Chai Pingle could only smile bitterly. Although he was ready for the price, it was a quarter lower than the price he bought, which really depressed him.
Moreover, he was going to give these four screens to others, but in the end, they turned out to be imitations. Although the imitators are also famous, they are also suitable for the identity of the other party. In this way, he would only exchange one gift.
Of course, besides being depressed, Chai Pingle was more or less happy. If he hadn't suddenly thought of using these four screens to identify them today, he would have done harm to others and himself if the other party found out that the gift was not genuine.
It's a normal thing to have a look at antiques. Therefore, after a while's discussion, we turned our attention to the last exhibition stand and speculated one after another about what collection it would be, whether it would be a treasure collection or a treasure brought by an old man, just like in previous years.
However, no matter what, the last thing will not be bad. Therefore, everyone's eyes are full of expectations.
Seeing this, Mao announced with a smile: "the last collection, five manuscripts!"
"It's a manuscript! I don't know who wrote it, but since it can be put to the end, it must be everyone's work! "
"I don't think so. If it's really the work of everyone, how much will five manuscripts cost? Even if it is a world-wide big shot, it seems that there are no five manuscripts made by everyone at one time! "
"You're too subjective. If you didn't have it before, it doesn't mean it won't appear now. Besides, if it's not a good thing, it must appear at the auction..."
When everyone was arguing, Mao said solemnly: "well, you can enjoy it on stage, but before that, I must say that you must be careful when you appreciate it. If anything goes wrong, you can't afford to sell it!"
After listening to Mao's reminder, we still don't understand that these five manuscripts must be very precious, which makes us curious. At the same time, we rush to the stage to get ready to see the true face of the manuscripts.
"Ah! It's Xu Wei's the ape with four voices Immediately someone exclaimed.
"In addition, there is" Naru of nanci "!"
"Are these all the authentic works of Xu Wenchang?"
"It's not nonsense. If it's not true, why did Mao just say that?"
In the discussion, many people's faces are excited. You should know that the author is Xu Wei, who is known as "the three great talents of Ming Dynasty" together with Xie Jin and Yang Shen. His works are also Xu Wei's works in drama. How can they not be excited when they meet such famous works?
"It's true. I don't think it's a problem at all..."
"Look at this passage. It's written in cursive style. The strokes are steady, the rhythm is ups and downs, the lines are thick, and it looks like a storm. Combined with the cross use of broken front, exposed front and astringent pen, the calligraphy looks rich and diverse, which is also in line with the characteristics of Xu Wei's calligraphy..."
"Yes, if you look at the feelings expressed in this passage, it is in line with Xu Wei's situation at that time..."
For a moment, you can say a word to me and analyze these manuscripts. Even without Mao's previous reminder, they also confirmed that the manuscripts must be Xu Wei's original works.
An Gongshi stepped down from the stage, but found chuchen and Uncle Wu sitting there talking and laughing. So he came up to them and asked strangely, "little Chu, why don't you go on stage to enjoy Xu Wei's manuscript?"
Zhao Xueyi said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. Anyway, there will be plenty of time to enjoy it in the future."
An Gong Shi was slightly stunned when he heard the speech. Then he thought of a possibility and exclaimed, "Lao Zhao, you don't mean that these manuscripts are all yours, do you?"
An Gongshi's voice was originally high, and now we all want to know the owner of the manuscript very much. Hearing this, "Shua", everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Xueyi.
Seeing this, Zhao Xueyi said: "if only I had such a treasure, these Xu Wei's manuscripts belong to Xiao Chu!"
It's said that things belong to Chu Chen. We subconsciously think that since Chu Chen came to the exchange meeting on behalf of Liu Lao, these manuscripts should be brought by Liu Lao.
Mao also thought so, and asked: "Xiao Chu, are these all brought by Liu?"
Chuchen laughed and said, "no, I got it yesterday."
"Ah Hearing this, all the people at the scene except Uncle Wu and them were shocked
