There are 40 paintings on display in the gallery. According to the gallery, there are twenty paintings by Jeffrey Watt and Anthony Wise, each of which will be the lot tonight.
Both painters are now well-known in the United States, with more promising prospects in the middle age, and are also painters favored by many people, so there are a lot of people coming to support them tonight.
Because everyone knows the significance of this evening party, this may be the last time you can buy the works of two painters at a relatively cheap price.
Once the fairy tale gallery is successful this time, it may not take long before the prices of the works of these two painters will soar.
In the Western art world, especially the oil painting world, it is very different from that in China.
Domestic painters, especially those Chinese painters, may paint for a lifetime, and their works may not be recognized by everyone. Even if they become famous, there are only a few people who can sell their paintings for a good price.
Even when some painters die, their works may gradually be accepted and the prices will gradually rise.
The rules of the Western oil painting industry are somewhat different. Here, some young painters will sign contracts with galleries, and the gallery will concentrate resources and hype these painters through various means, just like packaging stars.
As long as their hype is successful, the value of the works of these painters will quickly soar, and their status in the oil painting industry will be quickly recognized.
Even if these painters are only in their twenties or thirties, their works after becoming famous are not impossible to be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Such a situation is unlikely to be compared with the domestic and especially the Chinese painting industry in China.
"The fairy tale gallery has poured a lot of resources into these two people. The fact that Jeffrey and Anthony have today's fame is inseparable from the strong support of the fairy tale gallery. As of now, Jeffrey Watt's fame is higher than Anthony Wise. After all, his Russian tour painting style is more popular now because it is closer to Western European Impressionist paintings. He himself even received recognition from Fei Xin himself and was invited by Fei Xin to participate in Fei Xin's Taoist School.
The museum's special seminar. Moreover, his works are also very popular in the southwestern United States, which may be related to his hometown. His works were even invited to participate in the very prestigious P-Day XDE Western International Exhibition held at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. American artists and Western Art Magazine have introduced him in special introductions, so in the competition between these two, Jeffrey is one step ahead and is more popular among oil painting enthusiasts."
Helen was by Jin Muchen's side. While admiring Jeffrey Watt's paintings on the wall, she introduced them to Jin Muchen.
Jin Muchen looked silent, and Helen couldn't see what he was thinking. How could she know that Jin Muchen was also pretending to be profound. Helen just said that he had not found anything on Google and Wikipedia before.
He really doesn't know much about Jeffrey and Anthony's current status in the oil painting industry in the United States, but he probably knows it. These two are both up-and-coming stars, but he really doesn't know who is one step ahead of them and who is more favored by others.
In order not to show off too much in the future, Jin Muchen could only focus on these Jeffrey's paintings on the wall.
Jeffrey's style belongs to the Russian Tour School. How do you say this style?
Oil painting first emerged in several Western European countries. It was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that it was gradually regarded by many rich people as art worth investing in and antiques that can be passed down from home.
At that time, Western oil paintings gradually split into two factions. One was the Impressionist painters led by Monet and Picasso. I believe many people can know the style of their paintings. They are completely vague. Different people will have different understandings and ideas after reading their paintings.
To put it bluntly, it is a style that is pretentious and confusing. After reading such a vague and scrupulous painting, people with divergent thinking can think of many different pictures, while people who like to pretend to be b naturally like this style, because this can better reflect their high B-level rank.
The other row is a hyper-realistic painting style represented by Mihay Monkacci from Central Europe. This style uses the most realistic painting skills to reflect the picture and allow the realistic scenes to remain on the canvas in the most realistic way.
This style is more popular among industrialists who have simple personalities and start from scratch.
Of course, because the economy of Western Europe has always been strong, the styles they like quickly became popular because of the strong power of discourse, and Impressionism began to become popular in the oil painting industry.
The followers of the realistic school seem to be relatively niche.
At that time, the Russian oil painting industry was more charming from the foreign side. To put it bluntly, it likes to follow the footsteps of the Western European art world, but after all, they are located in Eastern Europe, so they are influenced by the styles of many realistic painters.
So some Russian oil painting masters combined Western European impressionism and Eastern European realistic oil painting styles to form the Russian Tourist painting style.
That is, there are both wild and unrestrained in the paintings, which are both unrestrained and chaotic like Impressionism, and the realistic ones that highlight reality and control are also characterized by moderate control.
Such a style is very rare because you have to master a very good balance point in chaos and control. Once this balance point is not controlled well, the whole painting will lack fluency and may even be difficult to understand.
And this Jeffrey Watt did a very good job in this regard. His paintings have a good grasp of the balance between chaos and control, and the fluency is very outstanding.
For example, his portrait of Miss Angela, the lady's facial portrait inside is very clear and looks very refreshing, but the roses on the background behind her look very illusory and not so real.
This is a perfect combination of control and chaos, which not only highlights the central characteristics of the painting theme, but also arouses people's imagination.
There is also the Indian chief's words, and the Indian chief's facial statue is very clear, while the holiday wooden house behind him and the small lake beside the forest in the distance seem blurred, giving people a very strong sense of picture switching between reality and illusion, and can bring a very strong visual impact to the viewer.
"Well, it's really distinctive..."
Jin Muchen told Helen about her feelings so that she would not appear too dry and be regarded as a fool in the whole process of appreciation.
"It's true that as you said, I really didn't feel this feeling if you didn't say it? Hehe, it seems that I really invited a good expert."
Helen's words made Jin Muchen roll his eyes. These oil paintings must be understood by those who understand art to understand the meaning of the painter. Otherwise, in the eyes of those who do not understand them, they will be like chewing wax.
He also said so much because he has made up a lot of knowledge about oil painting recently and combined his own opinions.
This time, although his golden eyes did not detect any jewels in these paintings, they could make him observe them in detail. Some of the painters' careful details in paintings, if they are not professionally evaluated art appraisers, they cannot see them at all, but they cannot escape his eyes.
This is also the main reason why he could tell so many feelings after reading these several Jeffrey's paintings.
I really didn't expect that this golden eye could not only see the pearls and treasures, but also bring such benefits to myself. Jin Muchen felt secretly happy.
"In fact, this time the fairy tale gallery put Jeffrey Watt and Anthony Wise on the front desk, which also means that they can compete. For painters, if they want to become famous, their paintings must be recognized by consumers, and can be collected by the National Gallery of the United States, or received the presidential commendation or Congress, even if they are officially recognized. Their works will immediately increase the price of them in the market, or even more than ten times. The painters themselves will immediately become the darling of the art festival and their value will double. Their paintings are not only loved by collectors, but also by some private museums and galleries.
Purchase and collect. This time, Fairy Tale mainly promotes the paintings of two people and holds such a charitable charity shooting. In fact, they hope that these two painters, or at least one of them, can be invited to participate in the American exhibition organized by the American Artists Association. Once you can receive such an invitation, then their paintings will be officially recognized and collected by the National Gallery, which is a foregone conclusion. If you say a few good words from the president and get rewarded by the president, it is a sure thing... With the recognition of the country and the president, your status in the world will be established!"
Helen's words made Jin Muchen stunned.
What! What the hell is going on? Isn’t American artists all like to pursue free personality? Why are there any routines like recruiting here?
Originally, he thought that units like the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the Culture and Art Department were just the characteristics of the Celestial Empire. Made, I didn’t expect that Americans would also play this game?
Moreover, these guys think this very seriously. It seems that only by obtaining official recognition can they truly establish their status in the world!
These American painters are really hard, and it is not that easy to become famous. If the work is not officially recognized, even if you paint it well, it will be useless. (To be continued)
