Chu Chen didn't expect to meet this kind of unexpected joy, which made him feel a little sad. If Tao Chunhai hadn't just found it, this gangmao would not have been discovered, let alone in his hands.
Since this gangmao appeared in front of him, Chu Chen certainly had to take it into his pocket, and it might be because Tao Chunhai's eyesight was limited and the price was not expensive. Of course, it's much more expensive than the previous one.
After taking this just Mao, Chu Chen chose some good jewelry and prepared to give them to Wu Ke as a gift. However, he didn't say much when he bought it, otherwise Zhao Qirui would not easily give it to him.
After completing the transaction, Tao Chunhai calculated that it was more expensive than the porcelain, as Jiang Jiachang said just now. Although he didn't make much money on the whole, at least he didn't lose money, which is an acceptable result for him.
After Tao Chunhai left, the four went back to the warehouse, ready to finish the identification of the remaining porcelain.
Jiang Jiachang asked as he walked: "Mr. Zhao, what did you want to say before?"
"Before..." Zhao Qirui was slightly stunned, and then said: "Oh, you just said that Su changtou chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea because he was not willing to be controlled by the other party. I don't think it's possible."
"What do you say?"
"Gunshot wound, how to explain the gunshot wound on his body?"
"Er..." Jiang Jiachang patted his head: "forget about it."
Zhao Qirui said: "so, I think it's more likely that Su changtou got hold of the other party."
"In that case, why did Su changtou cheat he Lihang?" Jiang Jiachang shook his head, thinking that this possibility should not be high.
Zhao Qirui said: "this point is also very easy to explain. For example, Su changtou grabbed the other party's handle and wanted money. In the end, the other party said it was OK to ask for money, but he disposed of the seals first, so Su changtou decided on he Lihang."
"Su is not so stupid." Jiang Jiachang still thinks this is unlikely.
Zhao Qirui said: "I don't know Su changtou's character, but if there are tens of millions or even more money in front of him, will he be moved? He is not stupid, but he may be carried away by money. "
Jiang Jiachang is well-informed. After hearing this, he has to admit that what Zhao Qirui said is reasonable. If Su changtou can keep his head clear all the time, and if he is dazzled by property, all things may happen.
"Forget it. Let's wait for the police to give us the result."
"Then if there is any result, you have to let me know." Zhao Qirui smiles and nods. Although it has nothing to do with him, he is still very curious about the result.
"It's no problem..."
Next, Chu Chen and Zhao Qirui sampled the rest of the porcelain, and everyone began to discuss how to cooperate.
As a matter of fact, Chu Chen's idea is to buy all these Hayao porcelain, but these porcelain are not as low-grade as Tao Chunhai brought, and their collection potential is much higher. Therefore, Jiang Jiachang is not willing to deal with these Hayao porcelain in the form of sale.
Of course, there is also one of the most important factors. Jiang Jiachang is very optimistic about the market of Hailao porcelain. He doesn't want to sell all these porcelains when the market is not very good. In addition, he also proposed that these porcelains be transported to the mainland for preservation, so that the cost of storage is low and it is convenient to handle in the future.
Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen also agreed, but in this case, they must not suffer losses in the shares. Finally, after some heated discussions, we reached a satisfactory result.
When it was noon, Jiang Jiachang took the three to a famous restaurant nearby.
After dinner, Zhao Qirui and Chu Chen left for Wu Ke's place. Just as everyone came to the door of the hotel, Jiang Jiachang answered a phone call.
"What?! He said it was a fake? It can't be sure OK, I'll be right here
When Jiang Jiachang hung up, Zhao Qirui asked, "what's wrong with the store?"
Jiang Jiachang nodded, frowned and said, "last time I helped a friend find a painting by Fu Baoshi. Today he came to say that it was a fake. I've let several experts have a look at that painting. How can it go wrong? "
As I said earlier, Jiang Jiachang's shop mainly sells porcelain and stationery. However, because he likes collecting calligraphy and paintings, he has a lot of channels in this area, so some of his friends will ask him to help them. As long as it's not too difficult, he will generally agree.
Over the years, he has helped his friends find a lot of calligraphy and painting works, and there has been no problem once. Now that he says there is a problem, no wonder he is very shocked.
Hearing that this was the case, Zhao Qirui said, "is it your friend who made a mistake?"
Jiang Jiachang said: "my friend said that he had compared it with the real one. Although it looks similar, there are some differences in some details. But the experts I invited before are all authorities. One of them may make mistakes, but it's not likely that they will all make mistakes! ""It doesn't have to be."
Chu Chen said: "now the means of counterfeiters are too clever. There has been collective counterfeiting and division of labor and cooperation. As far as I know, there is division of labor and cooperation in making Fu Baoshi. You specialize in painting landscapes, I specialize in filling scenic spots, you specialize in postscripts, he specialize in making seals, and there are special people to mount."
"Because counterfeiters are very authentic in this field, you can't defend yourself against such counterfeits. So in recent years, there are often disputes between experts on a certain work, and even big auction companies can't be sure of the authenticity."
"So powerful!"
After hearing what Chu Chen said, Jiang Jiachang was very surprised. For a moment, he could not help wondering whether the painting he helped to find was also made in this way.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiachang seemed very embarrassed and hugged Chu Chen. He asked, "Chu Shao, would you please come and have a look with me?"
At this time, of course, Chu Chen couldn't refuse, and it didn't take long to identify a painting, so he nodded his approval.
Jiang Jiachang repeatedly expressed his thanks, and then he asked chuchen to get on the bus.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Jiachang and Chu Chen came to the reception room of his shop. At this time, there was an old man in his fifties who looked very gentle.
Jiang Jiachang first introduced the two sides. The old man, surnamed Gao, is a medical professor.
After a few pleasantries, we got down to business.
Jiang Jiachang said: "Professor Gao, this painting was shown to several experts before I gave it to you. They all agreed that it was genuine..."
Professor Gao waved his hand, interrupted him and said, "Xiaojiang, let's look at the painting first. Since I say it has problems, it is also based on facts."
With that, Professor Gao took out a scroll from the painting and calligraphy brocade box and unfolded it. Two vivid ladies appeared in front of us. It was Fu Baoshi's painting of Er Xiang.
Fu Baoshi, a famous modern painter, must be known by many people. His original name is Changsheng and Ruilin, and he is the master of baoshizhai. He is also good at landscape, character and seal cutting. Landscape painting uses hard brush to crack rocks, which is called "Baoshi Cun", with distinct personality and sense of the times.
Fu Baoshi's figure paintings are mostly the re creation of historical figures and the artistic conception of ancient poetry. He especially loves Qu Yuan's spirit, so there are many figure paintings related to Qu Yuan. Fu Baoshi's ER Xiang Tu is based on the nine songs of Chu, which is the author's favorite subject. Xiang Jun and Xiang madame are the Xiangshui goddess in folklore. They have both human emotion and divine spirit, and have been repeatedly described by the author.
The painting in front of us, judging from its signature, was made by him in the 1940s. The figures in this painting are exquisitely portrayed, tall, full-bodied, delicate in texture, well-balanced in flesh and bones, and dignified in appearance. They seem to have the style of ladies before Tang Dynasty. They are typical of ancient ladies painted by Fu Baoshi.
His mood is like thinking and admiration, his face is sad, and he looks sad when he doesn't see the person he is thinking about. The pattern of Gao Gu's gossamer is vigorous and elegant, and his color is elegant and clear.
The wave in the lake is a special technique created by the painter, which is deep in the artistic conception of "curling autumn wind, waves in Dongting under the leaves". It is the concrete embodiment of Fu Baoshi's creative view of "writing boldly and tidying up carefully".
While Chu Chen was appreciating the painting, Professor Gao pointed out some problems in it, and finally said, "besides, my friend told me that he had seen the same painting in a collector's house. In this case, it is not necessarily true that these two paintings are genuine, is it
At this time, Chu Chen said: "Professor Gao, this kind of situation you said is very common in Fu Baoshi's works."
"Ah! How can it be Chu Chen's words surprised Professor Gao and even suspected that Chu Chen was joking.
"as like as two peas, you can see that Fu Baoshi knows the two pieces of Fu Baoshi's works that are almost identical."
Chu Chen explained: "Fu Baoshi likes to use thicker paper, because thicker paper is" affordable. "His unique way of using pen is heavy, fast, brushing, sweeping, repeated processing, etc. This can be seen from the thickness of part of the paper Fu Baoshi used as a mounting lens. "
"Therefore, what he uses most is a kind of local paper called" leather paper "produced in the western region of our country. The paper is thick and can be easily opened. It can be divided into two or even three. But this kind of paper size is not very large, and there is no certain size specification, obviously all produced from folk workshops
"Fu Baoshi once took advantage of this property of leather paper, and after finishing his painting, he exposed one of his works into two. In this way, the upper layer of the original created a special feeling of lightness and water. Sometimes Fu Baoshi would turn the second layer into a painting. This is as like as two peas in the picture book I have just said. "Fu Baoshi."
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, we realized that it was so.
Professor Gao thought about it and said, "even if there are two identical paintings, the points I just pointed out should be good evidence."
"Professor Gao, with respect, the creative control of" contrast "and" relationship "of painting elements is the key to Fu Baoshi's unique creation of figure painting and landscape painting. What you said is the most powerful proof of authenticity! "Chu Chen pointed to the painting and said, "the most fascinating part of Fu Baoshi's paintings is the expression of his eyebrows. What's more, he changed the ancient lines from neat to flying scribble, and also used many broken and white lines, which made Fu Baoshi's figure painting skills, like his landscape painting "Baoshi Cun", show the characteristics of music. "
"What's more, it is the vague and indescribable ink forms you mentioned that show the richness, complexity and subtlety of objects more deeply and vividly. At the same time, under the vague and scribbled brush and ink contrast, the expression of the eyebrows and eyes and the face can be more obvious.... "
After describing the characteristics of Fu Baoshi's figure painting in detail, Chu Chen concluded: "therefore, I think this painting must be authentic."
After listening to Chu Chen's words, Professor Gao also began to think that he was wrong. But after a while, he thought that it was unlikely that he would be wrong. But Chu Chen's words seemed reasonable. What's the matter?
Seeing that Professor Gao was still dubious, Jiang Jiachang asked, "Professor Gao, why don't you believe this painting is authentic?"
Professor Gao said: "because my elder Fu Baoshi's work was given to him by his son on his 80th birthday, it's not likely to be fake."
At first, we thought that the painting had been appraised by a master appraiser. That's why Professor Gao thought that the painting was OK. But it was only for this reason that they were speechless.
For example, some people regard a fake as a genuine one, and then use the standard of fake to identify the genuine one. Isn't this an international joke?
Jiang Jiachang said with a bitter smile: "Professor Gao, it's subjective for you to think so. We can't decide which painting is right or wrong just by comparing it with a painting, even if it is an authentic one, because a painter's style is different in different periods. "
"For example, Fu Baoshi's paintings at the age of 30 are not the same as his paintings at the age of 50. If you compare them like this, do you think they are authentic paintings at the age of 30 or at the age of 50?"
"Oh, it's the same here." Professor Gao agreed with these remarks, and then asked, "will my elder's painting be the same as what you said? That's why there is a difference?"
Jiang Jiachang said: "it's really possible, but if you want to be specific, you have to see it with your own eyes before you know it. Of course, the master of identification must be an expert like Chu Shao. "
Chu Chen smiles modestly. In fact, based on the problems pointed out by Professor Gao just now, he thinks that the painting that Professor Gao saw is more likely to be a fake, but it is true that seeing is believing, and he will not speculate now.
