Chapter 962: The Authentic Work of Van Gogh
brl=”/> Since Jin Muchen saw this treasure, there is no reason why he missed it. Of course, he was directly taken into his pocket.
After collecting this treasure, Jin Muchen felt that it was almost done. You should know that the above three treasures are all treasures of the Kyushu National Museum. Now they are all taken away by him without any effort. If the people from the Kyushu National Museum know, they will not cry to death.
These three treasures are all treasures that have been rated as Japan's top national treasures. Some Chinese people have even made evaluations and are all treasures that can be included in the top ten national treasures that China has scattered to Japan.
The top ten national treasures are the mother-of-pearl, red sandalwood, five-stringed pipa, Yaobian Tianmu bowl, the golden seal of the King of the Han Dynasty, the "Xiaoxiang lying on the go" by Li's family in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's "Sangluan Tie", the bronze ware of tigers and ate people in the late Shang Dynasty, the "Wuzhun Normal School statue" by Li Di in the Song Dynasty, and the "Red and White Hibiscus Picture" by Li Di in the Song Dynasty, and the "Bodhisattva's Fetal Sutra" by the Western Wei Dynasty.
Jin Muchen has already obtained seven of these top ten national treasures that have been scattered to Japan. This is a few great achievements, and this trip to Japan has not been in vain.
The authentic product of the Yaobian Tianmu Bowl is preserved in Jingjiatang Library, which is not a private museum belonging to the Mitsubishi Caibang, and it is not easy to visit. In addition, Jin Muchen has a large number of modern high-quality imitations in his hands, so Jin Muchen didn't do it.
Wang Xizhi's "Sangluan Tie" is because it is a private collection of the Japanese imperial family, and it is a private collection that it attaches great importance to. Until now, the imperial family has never taken this copybook of the Saint of Calligraphy to show it to others, and even has never disclosed it where it is collected. Therefore, even if Jin Muchen had the intention, he could not get the copybook.
In addition, the Song Dynasty "The Unqualified Normal School Portrait" was kept in Tofuku Temple in Kyoto, and Jin Muchen had not had time to go to Kyoto, so he could not get it.
He has basically collected the remaining seven treasures, which is a very remarkable achievement for Jin Muchen.
You should know that because the Japanese are familiar with Chinese culture, the taste of Chinese antiques and cultural relics is basically the same as that of Chinese people. If they rated them as top national treasures, then they will basically not be able to escape the category of top national treasures when they get them in China.
Westerners have different cultural values and concepts from us, so although the number of treasures they have taken away is much more than that of Japan, they are not as professional as the Japanese in terms of ratings.
Even because of Western civilization and the prosperity of recent hundreds of years, modern Westerners do not appreciate the treasures in the Chinese cultural circle.
At most, they are willing to put some effort into porcelain. As for traditional Chinese calligraphy and paintings, they will not rating them at all.
So if you want to find these things in Western museums, it will take a lot of effort, but in Japanese museums, these little Japanese have already given you a rating, which will save you much more effort.
This is also the main reason why Jin Muchen was able to achieve such great success when he came to Japan this time.
Now, Jin Muchen feels that he has almost collected the treasures of the Kyushu National Museum.
After all, the Kyushu National Museum is much smaller in scale than the other three National Museums in Tokyo, Nara and Kyoto, and it has been built for a short time. There are not many collections on display, especially the fine collections. In Jin Muchen's opinion, these are the only ones worthy of his "collection".
As for the finest products in the eyes of other Japanese people, they are simply unaware of them.
The other Japanese people's own antiques are now ignored by Jin Muchen at all because they visited the Tokyo National Museum.
After all, the Japanese antiques at the Tokyo National Museum are the top antique artifacts in Japan.
After collecting the top Japanese national treasures from the Tokyo National Museum, Jin Muchen has no longer looked down on these Japanese national treasures in the Kyushu National Museum.
In addition to these three national treasures from China and the few Chinese national treasures collected before that came to Taiwan, Jin Muchen had no intention of looking at other Japanese cultural relics and antiques. In his opinion, searching for such Japanese cultural relics is a waste of time and his own purple jade space.
If you have that leisure time, it is better to think carefully about how to collect the Western artworks upstairs.
Thinking of this, Jin Muchen immediately remembered the "Sunflower" he had seen at the Fukuoka Art Museum before.
Before, he just glanced over quickly. He roughly judged that the painting should be the original work of Van Gogh, but after all, it was just a glance. Now he finally has time to tell the authenticity of the painting.
Thinking of this, Jin Muchen quickly walked towards the storage location of the oil painting. When he was transporting Fukuoka's artworks, these people from the Tokyo National Western Art Museum did a good job in the issue of partition storage.
The artworks and antiques of the Kyushu National Museum are all placed on the left hand of the warehouse, while the artworks of the Fukuoka City Art Museum are placed on the right hand of the warehouse.
Moreover, there are not many artworks in Fukuoka City Art Museum, so it is easy to find. In addition, Jin Muchen has been staring at this box before, so it took him less than a few minutes to find the box.
After prying the box open and taking out the oil painting, Jin Muchen immediately concluded that it must be a good idea, it should be the original work of Van Gogh.
Because the yellow light flashing on this "Sunflower" is so dazzling, although he has not been exposed to many Western oil paintings, he has made up for his knowledge about Western oil paintings before.
He still remembers the painting characteristics of Western Impressionist oil painters such as Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne, Mone, and Picasso.
The works of the earliest founders of Impressionism, Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gauguin, are very different from those of rising stars like Picasso and Monet.
Their oil paintings still retain traces of realistic oil paintings, while the works of Picasso and Mone are mostly works that make people mist and have no idea why they are.
After reading it, you can only guess what the painting wants to express based on your imagination and based on the name of the painting.
Although the works of Van Gogh, Gauguin and Cézanne look very sloppy and vague, they can at least show you a rough idea.
Especially Van Gogh's representative work "Sunflower", which has been praised countless times by famous artists, so its characteristics are introduced in art magazines of various periods.
For example, the picture of "Sunflower" in front of you is a tabletop with a vase, and there are eight sunflowers inserted in the vase. If you look closely, you can taste these sunflowers in different shapes, and each sunflower has its own characteristics.
However, although the shapes are different, they have a big similarity in terms of spirit, that is, their warmth and vigorous vitality. This is a powerful spiritual perception. Only when you pay attention to this oil painting and read it in, you can experience the artistic realm.
After watching it for a long time, people can feel the warmth conveyed in this painting, and this is exactly what makes those masters of art and ordinary painters different from ordinary painters.
Ordinary oil paintings are just a sight for people, but truly good oil paintings can often make people think and even make people reach a spiritual state of selflessness. The Sunflower in front of us is such a work.
No wonder the Yasuda Water Fire Insurance Company was willing to give this painting more than 30 million US dollars. It seems that their money was really not wasted.
Although Japan encountered an economic crisis not long after they bought the painting, the value of this painting also depreciated a lot due to changes in exchange rates, ( ) and the deterioration of the international economic situation.
But from a long-term perspective, if the Yasuda Water Fire Insurance Company could hold on, then this painting would definitely not cost them money, and even if they hold it for a long time, they could make a profit.
It’s a pity that the company was too impatient, and it encountered a tight capital chain problem, so it had to transfer the painting.
Although I don’t know who the current owner of this "Sunflower" is, from today on, this oil painting will be replaced. From today on, he will belong to Jin Muchen.
Waving his hand, he earned tens of millions of dollars in oil paintings. Don’t mention Jin Muchen’s pleasure at this time.
It seems that I really thank Abe Masakuan. If it weren't for his insistence on holding Jin Muchen and Helen, Jin Muchen wouldn't have thought of getting rid of him.
Later, it was precisely because Jin Muchen wanted to get rid of Abe Masakuan that he accidentally broke into the warehouse of the National Western Art Museum in Tokyo, and a great harvest was brought.
This guy really doesn’t know. Should he say he is his own lucky star? Or should he say he is his own disaster star!
So after this incident is over, should we spare his life?
When Jin Muchen thought of this, he scratched his head a little, but when he turned around, he thought that this matter would not require a headache. If the theft of the National Western Art Museum in Tokyo this time was spread.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department must be overwhelmed. At that time, there may be no need to do it by itself. They will have to commit suicide by Abe Masakuan.
