Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 597
Chapter 599
The area of this gallery is not large, with two floors and nearly 300 square meters.
The gallery is divided into eight exhibition areas, a lounge area, a pantry and office area, etc.
In addition to this, the gallery has a basement, which is mainly used as a workshop, warehouse and vault.
The eight exhibition areas used for the exhibition display different works of art according to different regions, different eras and art genres.
Among them are Renaissance and Classicist period paintings, Baroque art, paintings of various art schools in modern and modern times, and a few sculptures.
The largest number are oil paintings in various modern art styles, which occupy a full five exhibition areas.
There are even some paintings from ancient China, but it is unknown whether they are genuine or not!
After entering the gallery, McCann began to introduce Xiao Ran to the gallery.
“Mr. Sean, this gallery has been established for 15 years and has always been
here” “Most of these paintings in the gallery are collected from various channels, and there are also some works of contracted painters
” “I am an amateur painter myself, and there are also a few of my works here,……”
At the same time as he introduced the situation, Xiao Ran had secretly opened the perspective and quickly saw everything here.
In fact, from the first moment he entered the gallery, he had already discovered something.
Among the paintings displayed in the exhibition hall on the first floor, as far as the eye can see, several paintings emit light, which instantly attracted his attention.
Among those paintings are both oil paintings and a landscape painting from China.
In addition, there is a sculpture that also radiates beautiful light.
The paintings displayed in other exhibition areas did not escape Xiao Ran’s field of vision under perspective.
In those exhibition areas, he made some discoveries.
The quality of those paintings is also good, and they have a certain artistic value and collection value.
After quickly looking through several display areas on the first floor, Xiao Ran’s gaze silently penetrated the floor slab and looked at the basement.
The moment his eyes penetrated the warehouse and the vault, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The same scene played out again as he looked through a small exhibition hall on the second floor and McCann’s office.
Fortunately, he always wore sunglasses, so he didn’t show any flaws, and he didn’t have to worry about shocking McCann.
In the blink of an eye, he had grasped the basic situation of this gallery, and then ended the perspective and retracted his gaze.
At this point, McCann was just finished with the introduction.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, complimenting the other party.
“I can see, McCann, the paintings on display in your gallery are quite good and very high-level
” “Next, I am ready to admire these paintings and hope to gain something”
Hearing this, McCann immediately nodded.
“Okay, Mr. Sean, you can enjoy it casually
” “If you have any questions, you can always find me, I am very happy to answer”
Xiao Ran nodded gently, then walked to the display wall next to it, and began to admire the paintings hanging on this display wall.
Elaine followed and admired it with interest.
After a period of adaptation and exercise, they can skillfully cope with the current scene.
Even if they knew that McCann was probably the art thief Xiao Ran was looking for, they could do it without revealing the slightest flaw.
As for McCann, he stepped aside and closely watched Xiao Ran’s every move.
Several clerks in the gallery looked at Xiao Ran curiously, and even had some expectations.
As before, Xiao Ran still visited while explaining to the fans in the live broadcast room.
The first painting he admired was a neorealist oil painting.
The painting is a landscape of rural America, but the perspective is chosen from the perspective of a speeding car.
From the open window, you can see a turquoise lake in the distance, and a sea of forests stretching into the mountains in the distance.
At the junction of the forest and the shore of the lake, stands a rustic villa.
From far and near, there is a golden wheat field.
A gust of wind blew through, and all the ears of wheat swayed gently in the wind, and the wilderness immediately burst into golden waves of wheat.
A dummy standing in a wheat field, his clothes swaying, chasing away birds hovering in the air, waiting for an opportunity to peck at grains of wheat.
Xiao Ran first stood in front of the painting and admired it for a moment before starting to introduce it.
“What you are seeing now is a neo-realist painting, which should be the work of an American painter
” “What is depicted in the painting is a landscape of rural America, the scenery is indeed good
” “Like country music, paintings of this theme are very popular in the United States”
Next, he briefly analyzed the painting.
Without waiting for him to finish the introduction, Concubine Wutong suddenly said
, “Xiao Ran, how does this painting look familiar?”
“I seem to have seen similar paintings somewhere, but I can’t remember where I saw them!”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Familiarity is right, this painting is created in imitation of a famous neorealist painting, it is an imitation” ”
That neorealist famous painting is one of the most important neorealist painters of contemporary America, Andrew. Wise’s
“The Wind Comes from the Sea” “The Wind Comes from the Sea” depicts a rural landscape from a window, and this painting is changed to a landscape from the car window
” “Andrew. Wise is a native of Pennsylvania, one of Pennsylvania’s most admired artists, and there are countless painters who imitate him in Pennsylvania,”
Hearing his explanation, Wutong suddenly stunned.
“That’s right, it’s ‘The Wind Comes from the Sea’, I saw that painting in a magazine, no wonder it’s familiar to look at this painting!”
“Although this painting is an imitation, it looks good, is it collectible?”
Xiao Ran shook his head slightly.
“It’s not bad to buy this oil painting to put it as an ornament at home, just collect it!”
“The most important thing is that the young painter who created this oil painting did not show his own things
” “And his painting skills also need to be improved, I don’t recommend
collecting this painting” Hearing this, Wutong Concubine immediately dispelled the idea of collecting this oil painting.
Next, Xiao Ran looked at another oil painting hanging above and continued to admire it.
About ten minutes later.
He came to another painting and stood up to admire it.
This is a cubist style oil painting, which depicts a picture of a woman leaning against a window and thinking.
In this painting, both the woman, the house and furniture, and the scenery outside the window are reduced to various geometric objects, which look paradoxical!
The characters and backgrounds in the painting, both near and far, are displayed on the picture by the artist with the same clarity.
Looking at this cubist oil painting, Xiao Ran and Elaine couldn’t help but pause.
Immediately afterwards, Elaine said in amazement:
“My dear, this cubist oil painting is a bit like the master of art George . Braque’s
style “To be precise, it is a bit like Braque’s style in the ‘Cézanne Cubist period
‘” “However, the painter’s painting skills and composition are much worse, far less than George’s. Brak
” Before the words fell, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded in response:
“Indeed, at first glance, this does look like George. Braque’s works during the period of Cézanne’s Cubism
” “Like Braque, this painter is also pursuing the geometric representation of natural objects, and compresses the spatial depth of the painting as much as possible, so that the objects in the painting are between plane and three-dimensional
” “But if you look closely, you will find that the painter only learned some of Braque’s fur, and did not learn its essence
” “Or it should be said that this painter’s talent is limited and does not reach the height of Braque at all, It’s a bit of a tiger that doesn’t mean to be an anti-dog!
While Xiao Ran and Elaine were commenting on the cubist painting, McCann, who was standing not far behind, stared at them nervously, and worry flashed in his eyes from time to time.
His expression looked normal, without any flaws.
But the clenched fists revealed the true emotions in his heart.
Listening to Xiao Ran and Elaine’s comments, his eyes kept changing.
There is both nervousness, worry, shock and resentment, and even anger!
What made him nervous and worried was that there was another mystery in this cubist painting, and there was a huge secret hidden behind it!
What made him feel unresentful and even angry was Xiao Ran and Elaine’s comments on the painter, or rather disparaging it!
There is no other reason, because this cubist oil painting is exactly the work of McCann, which is modeled after the cubist master George Smith. Created in Braque’s painting style!
Anyone whose work is so belittled will be angry, and McCann is no exception!
And what shocked him was the terrifying strength shown by Xiao Ran and Elaine!
They recognized it almost at first glance that it was a work imitating the style of the master Braque, and pointed out to be the style of ‘Cézanne’s cubist period’.
Moreover, they directly pointed out the shortcomings of the painting, thereby illustrating the huge gap between the painter and Braque!
With such a sharp eye, how could he not make McCann feel shocked!
Just when he had mixed tastes in his heart, several clerks standing in the back secretly snickered.
They all knew very well that this cubist oil painting was the work of the boss, and it had been here for a long time, and no one cared about it!
The boss listed this oil painting as not for sale, and it seems that it is only for self-appreciation!
Now that he is so degraded, the boss estimates that his lungs are going to explode!
Thinking of this, several clerks looked at McCann’s back sympathetically!
But where do they know McCann’s true intentions, let alone the secret hidden behind this painting!
Standing in front of this cubist oil painting, Xiao Ran looked like a mirror in his heart!
After commenting on the cubist painting, he quickly scanned McCann with the corner of his eye, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
“The most dangerous places are often the safest, which is a good trick!”
“It’s a pity that you ran into Lao Tzu!”
Andrew Wise’s “The Wind Comes from the Sea”
