Chapter 1043

Because of the preview of today's auction, we just enjoyed some local food in this famous food street, had a little tour in the nearby scenic spots, and then came to a private club which is only five minutes' drive from here.

The auction is not open to ordinary people, therefore, the gatekeeper inspection plays a more strict role. At the door, Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui both took out their respective invitation cards. After a careful examination and registration, the guard gave Chu Chen a temporary certificate for each of them, and then told them some precautions. Only then did they smile to indicate that they could enter.

The decoration style of this club is more business oriented. When you enter the club, there are waiters leading you to the exhibition hall.

There are not many guests in the exhibition hall, which has something to do with the fact that there are not many people attending the auction. Of course, the main reason is that many guests have come to see it in the morning, and it is normal that there are few people in the afternoon.

This is also good news for Chu Chen. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for so many people to look around a piece.

Next, we will begin to appreciate these pieces.

The first thing they looked at was porcelain. After a circle, Chu Chen found that all the products sold here were in the market. In terms of porcelain, there were porcelain from song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they were all works of famous kilns or official kilns.

But at the end of the day, Chu Chen's face was not very good. This is because the unearthed traces of some of the auction pieces are obvious, so the origin need not be mentioned.

You know, this auction is not only attended by Chinese people. Now there are two foreigners with yellow hair and blue eyes in the exhibition hall studying with magnifiers. At that time, if these things were photographed by them and legally dispersed abroad, Chu Chen would feel a little angry.

But this is not Chu Chen's territory after all, and the organizer has not violated the law, even if he wants to manage it.

As for the solution, in addition to spending money to buy some important things, the most you can do is to raise the price and let the foreigners spend more money. Although this will still benefit the organizers, it is better than watching the foreigners take photos of these cultural relics.

Next, among the bronzes and jades, the proportion of unearthed cultural relics was still more, which made Chu Chen feel angry and powerless. It was not until the painting and calligraphy works that they were better.

Seeing Chu Chen's sullen appearance, Zhao Qirui said in a low voice: "in these people's eyes, there is only money, other things will not care, so there is nothing to be angry about."

Chu Chen said with a bitter smile, "well, I understand this. I just feel uncomfortable seeing this."

"Don't think about it." Zhao Qirui patted Chu Chen on the shoulder: "the world's strong are respected. As long as our country is strong, these things will come back one day. As for us, as long as we do ourselves well and contribute a little to our country. "

Chu Chen nodded, no longer think, and then continue to appreciate the rest of the auction.

Compared with the porcelain and bronzes just now, although there are many paintings and calligraphy works here, the only works of famous artists are Shi Tao's "five hundred Arhats" and Jin Nong's "ink bamboo".

As one of his missions to Haojing, Chu Chen first identified Shi Tao's works. Some of the contents of this scroll refer to the version of "500 Arhats" drawn by Zhou Jichang in the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, although it is called "500 Arhats", there are eight Arhats in the actual painting, three more than Zhou Jichang's version.

The style of the scroll is indeed Shi Tao's painting style in his later years, but Chu Chen's first impression is that although the performance of these Arhats seems to be Shi Tao's authentic works, their charm is worse.

Moreover, the chronology of this painting is 1694, which is the peak of Shi Tao's painting creation.

During this period, Shi Tao's landscape painting was unrestrained, incisive, and rough with thick ink. Vertical and horizontal wanton, such as lightning, careful and rigorous in the details, there will be no empty. He dares to break through the old methods of predecessors, such as using ochre instead of ink to clean mountain stones, using stone green as rice dots, and using gambogia and rouge as miscellaneous dots to depict burning peach flowers, which are all methods never used before.

These are the unique characteristics of Shi Tao, but they are not well presented in this painting, which should not be the performance of the original.

Combined with the information given to him by Mr. Liu, Chu Chen can basically conclude that this painting should be an imitation of Zhang Daqian, and the result given by the ability is exactly the same.

However, Chu Chen could see the result. He said that Zhao Qirui was very appreciative of the painting at this time. Unfortunately, he said that if Chu Chen didn't want to take the painting, he would have done it.

Chuchen joked with a smile: "uncle, since you like it, I'll give it to you. As for master, I'll help you explain. He won't blame you for that."

Zhao Qirui blinked his eyes and asked in disbelief: "really?""Of course it's true. Can I lie to you about it?" Chuchen said with a smile.

"This..." Zhao Qirui seemed very excited. After a while, he hesitated and said, "forget it. Robbing his old people's things is always unbearable."

Chuchen said with a smile, "what's the matter with you? Anyway, he won't want this painting."

"What do you mean?" After listening to this, we were confused for a moment.

"Good! You make fun of me After a while, Zhao Qirui finally reflected what was going on, pointed to chuchen and laughed and scolded.

Chu Chen laughed and said, "how can I make fun of you? This painting is good. As long as the price is right, it's really a good choice."

Zhao Qirui curled his lips: "why do I take a fake picture?"

Chuchen said with a smile: "this is not a fake painting, but an imitation, and I think the author should be Zhang Daqian."

Zhao Qirui asked excitedly. "Really Zhang Daqian?"

"I'm not sure. I can only say it's highly probable."

Chuchen laughed, and then asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly interested again?"

Zhao Qirui looked around and saw that there was no one around them, so he said, "this is Zhang Daqian. Even if it's not an authentic work, it has investment and collection value. If you really don't want to do it, I'll do it! "

"OK, no problem."

Chu Chen nodded and agreed, then walked to the next picture of Jinnong's ink bamboo.

After a while, Chu Yulan asked: "brother, I heard that many of Jinnong's paintings were commissioned by him. Is this the same thing with this painting?"

In the history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, Dong Qichang and Jin Nong are the two most complicated people who make the most of the modern paintings. Unlike Dong Qichang, who is more than 100 years younger than Dong Qichang, Jin Nong claims that most of his paintings are modern ones.

At present, the calligraphy and painting circles generally believe that the number of Jinnong's own paintings is less than one tenth of the handed down paintings. 90% of Jinnong's paintings in the market are modern or fake. At the same time, the artistic level of Jinnong's paintings is very different, because he invited different people. For example, the styles of Jin Nong's students Luo pin, Xiang Jun and Wang Shishen are very different.

Fortunately, most of Jin Nong's strokes were written by himself, and he liked to write long postscripts. The authenticity of the characters is an important criterion to distinguish the jinnongdai strokes from the complete forgery.

Generally speaking, the existence of a large number of modern strokes will naturally affect the rising price of paintings. However, Jinnong's handed down paintings, in the current auction house, are breaking the Convention and creating a new high rate, which is also a more magical phenomenon.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Chen said, "I think it should be an authentic work."

Zhao Qirui said in surprise: "the real work? Do you mean that this painting was painted by Jinnong himself? "

"I think the possibility is very high." Chu Chen said: "look at the bamboo in this painting. The author shows the wind bamboo with the brush of a warlock. It's like a willow leaf flying, laughing in the wind, and entering the clouds in the sky..."

Gao Yiya interjected: "but it's strange to draw like this. If it's true, Jinnong must be a strange man!"

Chuchen explained with a smile: "this is also the characteristic of Jinnong's authentic works. From the perspective of Jinnong's authentic works, his paintings are like water without a source and trees without roots, which are very different from the ancients. In short, it's weird in shape and clumsy in writing. For example, some of his horses are like dogs, some are like pigs. And his strokes are like leeks blown by the wind, with many knots. It looks very strange, which is his unique creation. "

When Zhao Heyan heard this, she giggled and said, "he painted horses as pigs and dogs. Is he still a child drawing?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "it's not true. His animal paintings are mainly from animals on the bricks of Han Dynasty, while his characters are transplanted from Buddhist statues such as Feitian, Luohan and benzun in Longmen Grottoes. He is very confident in his figure paintings. He thinks that his level should be Zhang sengyou and Lu Tanwei. At the same time, he claims that he can open many schools of painting in the future with the postscript of "how many masters will he open in the future."

Zhao Heyan said with a funny face: "is this person too self-conscious? I think he should be a narcissist. "

Gao Yiya scolded: "how do you talk, you girl? He has real ability, not boasting. What's wrong? If you have the ability, you can also say so. I promise no one will say anything about you. "

"Just talk about it. Why are you so serious?" Zhao Heyan muttered softly.

Gao Yiya's eyes glared, and when he was ready to teach a lesson, Zhao Qirui said, "OK, OK! I don't know what occasion it is. How impolite it is

"Go home and deal with you!" Gao Yiya gives Zhao Heyan a cold look, but Zhao Heyan shrinks her neck, but she doesn't care.

It's common for mother and daughter to do this. Chu Chen then explained: "Jinnong's bamboo painting is based on calligraphy. Because of his calligraphy skills in previous decades, his style is particularly simple. Compared with the natural and elegant bamboo paintings of predecessors or other famous bamboo painters at that time, it has a different style. For example, he claimed that Therefore, I think it is possible that this work is an authentic one. " (it's a good activity for pie falling from the sky, cool mobile phone waiting for you!
