Chapter 526 The Essence of Ink Freehand Painting

Jin Muchen pointed to the painting beside him and said, and at this time, two unknown bidders had already come and stood beside him and helped him lift the painting.

What he said at this time seemed very noble and literate. For these rich tyrants, it can be said to be a literacy.

After all, most of the people who come here to participate in underground auctions actually have two dollars in their pockets. Rich people who want to come and get cheap may not understand the knowledge of antiques at all, or they just understand a little bit.

There are also some people who may be engaged in antique business and have a deep understanding of antiques. However, there are many types of antiques in China. These people may only understand one of them, and they may not understand the paintings of Bada Shanren at all.

After all, most ancient Chinese paintings were mainly landscape paintings and ink paintings, while Bada Shanren's freehand paintings can only be regarded as one of the schools.

His paintings have a very high status in the West. Even among Westerners, those who understand Eastern art, would call his paintings Oriental Impressionism, which highlights his status in the history of Chinese painting art.

However, for many people who specialize in Chinese antique paintings, Western Impressionism is just a sound to them, but they do not necessarily understand the essence of Impressionism paintings.

Jin Muchen's explanation was considered a popular science literacy for these people, so at this time, Jin Muchen's image instantly became taller in the eyes of these people.

Many people who know knowledgeable people can tell so many tricks by just listening to him and pointing to a painting. They have already upgraded him to the position of an expert in their hearts.

Everyone still respects experts who are specialized in antiques, because they may be able to deal with others at any time in the future.

You should know that such experts are very difficult to make friends with. Sometimes when everyone gets a kind of antique in their hands and is undecided, they want to find such an expert to help with the appraisal. That can't be done with money. Even if you want to get on someone's door, it's very difficult.

"Prince Ma said before that this painting was previously identified by the Chinese appraisal master Mr. Wang Jiulin. But the final conclusion was ambiguous, because Mr. Wang Jiulin could not determine whether this painting was genuine. In fact, this is not surprising, because Bada Shanren's paintings became popular in China later and were not valued by people before. Another very important reason is that most of the paintings that Bada Shanren's paintings were lost overseas before the founding of New China because of the freehand themes of his paintings.

Sex. is very close to the Impressionism in Western paintings, so his paintings are very popular among Westerners. Therefore, in the war-torn era before the founding of New China, Westerners plundered his works in China, and many of his fine paintings were lost overseas in that era. So in China, there are not many authentic works that can be learned from his paintings. Even Mr. Wang Jiulin has not seen several ink paintings by Bada Shanren, so he dare not determine the authenticity of this painting. This is also described in the autobiography left behind after Mr. Wang Jiulin's death!"

Jin Muchen's words were specifically prepared for Mr. Ma's previous doubts, and this is also the main reason why the organizers and those who came to participate in the auction were not sure about this painting.

Wang Jiulin is a famous master of art appraisal in modern China. Although he has not achieved very high achievements in artistic creation, he has achieved great success in art appraisal.

During his lifetime, he was one of the famous appraisers of the Palace Museum. Because he was born in Lingnan, he still had a good understanding of the works of some artists from southern ancient China.

When Guangdong Mei collected this "Lake Stone Two Birds Picture", she asked him to do an appraisal, but that was still in the early 1980s.

At that time, not only was he responsible for the identification of the painting, but also several well-known professors from Guangdong beauty, who were responsible for the identification with him.

But it was because of the hardship that there were too few works in China after Zhu Tong changed his name to Bada Shanren. They could not find a genuine product signed by Bada Shanren, which could be used as a reference, so they did not dare to conclude that this painting was a real painting.

It is precisely because they cannot get the answer that this "Lake Stone Two Birds" collected by Guangdong Meimei has always been a more controversial painting in China.

In fact, when it comes to the identification of Bada Shanren's works, British, American, and Japanese are experts because in several museums in their country, they have collected many authentic ink and freehand paintings from Zhu Tong's name after the rename of Bada Shanren.

When Jin Muchen was visiting museums in the United States, he had read several authentic works signed by Bada Shanren, and even saw an analysis report on the characteristics of Bada Shanren's paintings, so he could tell the characteristics of so many Bada Shanren's works.

He now raised doubts about Wang Jiulin's identification, which is another challenge to a top senior in the antique industry. If someone else said this, it would definitely bring ridicule from everyone.

But now he pointed to this painting and actually said so many tricks, and he was very wise. No one of them dared to laugh at him as overestimated his ability.

Because all the words he said reached the point, and even said many key points to identify whether a painting is the authentic work of Bada Shanren, which these people didn't know before.

Seeing these people with a hint of admiration, Jin Muchen became more and more proud. Young people are all vanity after all. When they are happy, he decided to give these tyrants more knowledge about Bada Shanren's works.

"If you want to know whether a work is the authentic work of Bada Shanren, there are actually several tricks. One is to look at the birds he painted or encounter the characteristics of the image. Another point is to look at the spatial layout of his paintings. His paintings pay special attention to the position of a few objects in two-dimensional space. To put it bluntly, it is to make full use of the blank space, which is what the predecessors call "the white is the black". At the same time, he can also fully mobilize the balance, symmetry, sparseness, density, virtuality, etc. of inscriptions, signatures, and seals in the layout. Before he created a painting, he had overall planning and conception. Every point he left on the paper played an important role in the layout. No more, no more, no extravagant, and no saving. Look at this lake stone, the two birds in the picture, and the center of gravity of this position will be painted.

The surface is divided into four large spaces, each space is different in size, balanced and changing. Since the bird on the tip of the stone is on the right and head facing left, the inscription is opposite to it on the left, making the empty background suddenly active, visually breaking through balance and rich content. From here we can see that his brush is the most suspenseful and simplest composition. After creating his vigilance like his, there is no need to pay attention to brushwork and no embellishment. He is using his brush to draw the images in his heart. Those images jump out of the experience accumulated in his life, just like a ray of light, fleeting, and must be grasped quickly. This kind of charm that can be grasped at a glance is not a skillful way among the tens of thousands of painters in ancient China..."

Jin Muchen's praise was actually all taken from before. He had read the American female archaeological doctor and an analysis report on Bada Shanren's paintings.

If he was allowed to experience the exquisiteness of Bada Shanren's paintings by himself, he might have to realize it for a while, but this time it did not hinder him, and he used other people's words to bluff people.

I have to say that these are somewhat mysterious and very straightforward words, and the effect is very good, which can be said to shock the whole audience immediately.

Now his image in everyone's eyes became taller and taller. No wonder he was able to find such a big leak. It's true that he really understands it!

Otherwise, who can point to a work by Bada Shanren and say so many things?

No wonder Westerners admire the works of Bada Shanren so much. There are many places that coincide with the masters of the Western painting world, such as the scenes and the spatial division of the pictures using painting themes. Western painters pay great attention to this.

"Let's talk about the artistic conception of his painting. We have been talking about Bada Shanren, the originator of Chinese ink and wash freehand painting, but what is freehand painting? You can see that when you look at this painting, you can see that the carvings of the stone are concise and powerful. And when you look at the stone, do you look like an old man looking down, and look at the bird on the slope who seems to have no idea of ​​food. On the top, the bird standing on the tip of the stone, staring at the open mouth, seems to be intimidating the stone. Don't have any inappropriate thoughts about the bird on the slope, or you may be jealous of the bird on the slope.

The birds can be protected by stones. Especially the unstable stones and two birds standing on one foot appear on the same picture. It seems that two birds have just fought and are circling on the stone. Both show the unstable situation and the helplessness of the bird on the tip of the stone. Therefore, the things expressed in this painting can be completely allowed to be imagined by the viewer and thus amplify the capacity of the thought. The characteristics of such paintings coincide with the themes expressed by Western Impressionist paintings, and they all stimulate people's divergent thinking..."

As soon as Jin Muchen finished speaking, everyone present had already grown up...
