Chapter 189 Awakening (7)

How could this happen?

The Art Nouveau Competition was a dream stage that Henri Marso and the French National Art Association had organized with astronomical costs.

It was an opportunity for poor artists to unfold their own artistic world in a stable manner, thanks to the enormous prize money.

And for the successful artists, it was a place to test their current status while reaffirming their aesthetics, because of the anonymity.

Who knows how many people worked hard for their dreams, for art, and for the 21st century Renaissance?

But there was a plagiarism in the competition.

And it was getting the most support from the people.

It was impossible.

It was an insult.

It was an indelible insult to those who prepared for the Art Nouveau Competition, those who participated in it, and those who visited it with love for art.

And to Henri Marso as well.

Crack-

I had no idea how Henri Marsos work had leaked through what route.

But Henri Marso, who drew himself with historical figures as the background, was more focused than ever.

The countless sketches piled up in his studio and the time and effort he spent to perfectly utilize the orpiment paint were the proof.

But.

This plagiarism had only turned the central figure around, and took away everything from Marso.

Why?

Cha Si-hyeon asked.

Bang Tae-ho looked at me and my grandfather with a puzzled expression.

He wouldnt know why me and my grandfather were flustered, since he didnt know the situation.

If it wasnt plagiarism, I would have felt the same impression as when I saw Henri Marsos work, because it was such a great work.

Whats wrong?

Pla.

Before I could say plagiarism, my grandfather put his hand on my shoulder.

It seems like we can talk after we find out what happened.

I thought we should contact SNBA as soon as possible and take down this disgusting plagiarism, but my grandfather seemed to think that finding out the truth about this incident was the priority.

Is there a problem?

My grandfather nodded at Bang Tae-hos question.

We need to meet with the association people.

He took the confused Bang Tae-ho and Cha Si-hyeon and left the gallery.

My grandfather quickly contacted the SNBA people and I called Henri Marso, the victim and the biggest victim of this incident.

***

Henri Marso, the hero of the French art world, was very pleased after checking the voting status.

The sublime orpiment that contained the light and dark contrast reminiscent of Rembrandt and the oriental mystery.

The first painting of the <Beauty> series, which revealed his ambition to open a new era, was leading the way.

What the hell is this?

It looks like a religious painting.

The light expression between the clothes and the figure is really artistic.

It feels like a messiah.

Its classic, but is it orientalism? What is that gold color?

Caroline Strick said it was orpiment.

What is orpiment?

I dont know.

But who drew it?

I dont know.

It seems like he emphasized that he was a transcendent being by setting it as a back view.

Am I the only one who is curious about who drew it So who drew it?

Do you think hell tell you when theres a prize?

Honestly, the only person who can use gold color so well is Henri Marso.

Henri Marso?

His eyes are emerald and gold is his point. <Marsos Jewel> is representative.

Now that I think about it, the central figure looks like Henri Marso?

Does Henri Marso have a reason to participate?

Lol, hes not going to eat the prize money he made.

Then is it a tribute to Henri Marso?

2222 This seems right. It seems like a tribute to the Eroica of the French art world.

Dont talk nonsense. Who would submit a tribute to someone else in a competition that could turn their life around?

He intended to teach him the proper way to deal with it as an adult.

You might have thought you were the best, but thats a delusion.

-

I also wondered why this moment came so soon. Like Klimt.

Go Hoon was silent.

He couldnt imagine that Henri Marso, the worlds Henri Marso, would admit that there was someone better than him.

So?

Go Hoon shook his head and shouted.

-Say its not!

Henri Marso frowned at Go Hoons shout.

He wasnt amused by the kid who was only ten years old, but whom he had acknowledged, throwing a tantrum.

Admit it. If you dont know how to admit it, you wont make any progress.

-Shut up with that nonsense!

?

Henri Marso was confused and looked at Arsen, but he couldnt get an answer from him.

Go Hoons desperate voice came through the phone.

-You wouldnt follow someone else! You dont have to. You dont have to, you can do it!

Henri Marsos eyes widened at Go Hoons miserable scream.

-Its not, right?

He was speechless at the absurd remark.

-Say its not. Quickly.

Henri Marso regained his reason and tried to understand the situation. He seemed to think that he had followed someone else, for some reason.

What are you talking about since morning? Why would I follow someone else? Where are you?

The insulted hero yelled.

*

-Stay there and dont move!

Henri Marso hung up the phone after threatening him.

What did he say?

Go Hoon stared blankly at his smartphone and wiped his tears. Go Suyeol hugged his grandsons shoulder.

He said its not plagiarism. Both of them.

Go Hoon sighed with relief that his beloved painter hadnt done anything wrong.

He had thought of the worst situation for a moment because of Henri Marsos ominous words, but he was relieved to see him strongly deny it.

He firmly believed that he would lie but not tell lies.

Hmm. Thats strange.

Thats what Im saying.

It was too similar to say that they coincidentally dealt with the same subject, Henri Marsos work and <Beauty> that was submitted to the Art Nouveau Competition.

He doesnt seem to be unaware. Well find out if we wait. He said hes coming this way.

Go Suyeol nodded.

A little later.

Henri Marso, who had found the hotel room where Go Hoon and his party were staying, knocked on the door as if he was going to break it. Bang Tae-ho opened the door and he entered with a swagger.

He was relieved to see his confident appearance and approached him. He yelled at him.

What did I do? Huh?

Why are you confusing me with your words?

Whats confusing?

You said there was someone better than you. You said it wasnt plagiarism, so I thought that. Tell me whats going on. Do you want some chocolate?

I drew it! I did!

Go Hoon dropped the chocolate he was offering to Henri Marso and said.

Dont you know even after seeing it? Its a series!

Go Hoon blinked and asked.

You said you wouldnt participate.

When did I!

You said you knew you would win and you participated. You told me not to.

Go Hoon recalled his memory.

He had made a negative remark, but he didnt seem to have said that he wouldnt participate.

So you really drew it?

Yes!

Go Hoon, who couldnt understand the situation, had to ask again.

Why?
