Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 734
Chapter 736
While appraising the expressionist painting, Xiao Ran was also explaining, but in Mandarin.
No need to ask, he was explaining to Xu Lin and Wang Jue.
“Expressionist art, born in the early twentieth century, is especially popular in an artistic trend in Nordic countries
” “Specifically refers to an art that emphasizes the expression of the artist’s subjective feelings and self-feelings in art, resulting in exaggeration, deformation and even grotesque treatment of objective forms
” “The rise of this artistic trend is a reflection of the social and cultural crisis and spiritual chaos in Europe and the United States, and a concrete embodiment of social turmoil”.
The most famous representative painters of expressionism are Munch in Norway, Van Gogh in the Netherlands, Kandinsky in Russia and other masters!
“And in Britain, the most outstanding representative of expressionism is the famous painter Freud, who is also one of the greatest contemporary British painters,…… Next
, while identifying the expressionist painting, he introduces expressionism and Freud.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue both listened intently, their eyes full of stars.
David and Qian Gu were really beautiful, but they couldn’t understand Chinese and didn’t know what Xiao Ran was saying.
But guess you can guess, it must be something related to this expressionist painting.
As he spoke, Xiao Ran suddenly said in surprise:
“Hey, how can there be a shorthand for Francis Bacon’s name here?” I’m not going to be blind, am I?
As he said this, the magnifying glass in his hand rested on the neck of the Dalmatian in the painting.
Above the neck of that Dalmatian, there is a thin black and white collar.
The color of that collar, very similar to the color of the Dalmatian, is difficult to spot.
But under the magnifying glass, coupled with deliberate observation, the collar suddenly appeared.
With his words, Pavilion Director Qian Gu and they were all stunned in place.
In a matter of moments, they were awake.
An exclamation immediately sounded at the scene.
“What? Francis Bacon’s signature, how is this possible?
“Is this expressionist painting not the work of Freud, but the work of Francis Bacon?” It’s incredible! Looking
at Araki again, he had a stunned expression.
The painting has been hanging in the shop for a year or two, and he has studied it many times.
But after so many studies, he never found this very hidden signature.
Xiao Ran came here for the first time and saw the painting for the first time, but soon discovered this hidden signature.
Thinking of this, Araki didn’t mention how depressed he was in his heart, and he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
While there was a lot of discussion, Director Qian Gu and they quickly stepped forward and looked at the signature hidden on this painting.
Under Xiao Ran’s guidance, through the magnifying glass, they quickly saw the black and white collar, and also saw several flower-style English letters hidden on the collar.
Seeing this scene, several of Japan’s top art appraisal experts suddenly became even more excited.
“Yes, this is indeed Francis Bacon’s signature, and our museum has his paintings” ”
The author’s signature on that painting is the same as this one, only a little bigger,”
the director of the Tokyo Museum of Art said excitedly.
Hearing this, several other Japanese nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled and said:
“I think I know what happened to this expressionist painting, but I didn’t expect that legend to be true”
Before the words fell, Director Qian Gu and the others had already turned their heads to look over.
The director of the Tokyo Museum of Art, who knew Freud and Francis Bacon, showed a thoughtful expression.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, shining straight, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
At this moment, Director Qian Gu couldn’t wait to say:
“Sean, tell me quickly, what is going on with this expressionist painting?”
“Is there some secret hidden behind this painting?”
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and then said with a smile:
“Regarding the friendship between Freud and Francis Bacon, I believe everyone has heard of it, and there are even rumors that they are
actually a couple” “As we all know, Francis Bacon is a G, but he has maintained close contacts with the prodigal son Freud for decades, regardless of each other
” “In view of this, there have always been rumors in the Western art world, Freud is actually a two-way plug, It’s Francis Bacon’s boyfriend”
The words fell, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue, who were standing beside Xiao Ran, were flushed and embarrassed.
“Hahaha”
The scene suddenly broke out into a loud laugh.
Pavilion Director Qian Gu and the others who came to their senses all laughed loudly.
In the midst of laughter, the director of the Tokyo Museum of Art said with a smile:
“Yes, there are indeed such rumors in the Western art world, and many people believe it
” “In the decades that Freud and Francis Bacon interacted, they often went to G Bar together, and often fought together in the bar”
Xiao Ran nodded, and then continued to introduce the situation.
“Freud and Francis Bacon’s friendship lasted for decades until Francis Bacon’s death, during which time they often painted portraits of
each other” “The most famous of these is Francis Bacon’s “Freudian Portrait Practice”, a group of triptychs that sold for more than 140 million US dollars in New York in 2013
” “And the art world rumors say that when the two of them are together, they often imitate each other’s painting style and painting skills, Using each other as models and creating portraits for each other
” “However, the kind of portraits they created had never appeared before, and it was not until today, when this “Sleeping Man and the Dalmatian” appeared, which confirmed the legend “As
soon as the words were said here, the scene immediately exploded.
Director Qian Gu and these Japanese, were all taken aback by Xiao Ran’s inference.
One by one, their eyes were round, and their excited eyes were about to fly out.
“Really fake? Could the sleeping man in this painting be Francis Bacon? This is incredible
” “If this inference is true, it will definitely shake the entire Western art world and cause a huge sensation!”
Xiao Ran glanced at these excited Japanese, raised his hands and gently pressed down.
With this action, the scene quickly quieted down.
The next moment, Xiao Ran’s clear voice came out again.
“When I was in the United States before, I had admired a lot of paintings by Freud and Francis Bacon, including their portraits of each other
” “And I also have a collection of the works of these two masters, and I have a certain understanding of them, as well as their lives and friendships
” “I can be sure that the man lying on the bed in the painting is Freud when he was young, and the person who painted this painting is Francis Bacon”.
To be precise, it is Francis Bacon who imitates Freud’s painting style, using Freud as a model, and paints a portrait, which sounds a bit awkward
” “There is a reason why I say this, Freud at this age has appeared in another painting by Bacon, and there are many similarities between the two
” “And then the style and painting technique of this oil painting, although highly similar to Freud, but paradoxical, with a bit of Francis Bacon’s shadow”
“The most obvious is the deformed image of Freud and the Dalmatian in the painting, as well as the morbid theme, it is Francis Bacon’s painting style, which is unconsciously revealed”
With his introduction, Director Qian Gu and they all admired and identified the expressionist painting intently.
At this time, the more they looked at the painting, the more it resembled the work of Francis Bacon, and the more excited they became.
“Yes, what Francis Bacon is best at is using deformed images and morbid characters as subjects
” “Painting some disgusting images, exposing the world and human disasters, is very clear on this painting,”
the director of the Tokyo Museum of Art continued, his mouth almost chopping with excitement.
Hearing this, the other appraisal experts also echoed one after another.
Xiao Ran nodded, and then continued:
“Based on these findings and characteristics, as well as Francis
Bacon’s signature, it is completely certain that this is a work by Francis Bacon” “More importantly, this is a portrait of Freud created by him imitating Freud’s painting style and painting skills
” “The discovery of this oil painting proves that there has been a long-standing exchange of painting styles in the Western art world, The legend of creating portraits for each other
” “As far as I know, this should be the only portrait that has been discovered so far and handed down, and the portrait created by Francis Bacon and Freud in this peculiar way is extremely precious!”
“The Dalmatian dog in the painting, wearing a collar with Francis Bacon’s signature engraved on the collar and lying in Freud’s arms, should refer to Francis Bacon himself
” “Through this painting, it is enough to prove the unknown intimacy of these two contemporary art masters, and also prove
the legend that has been circulating for a long time,……” Before the words fell, Director Qian Gu suddenly exclaimed:
“It seems that the legend that has been circulating in the Western art world for a long time is true, Francis Bacon was probably Freud’s girlfriend
” “Oh my God! This painting proves such an unknown legend, it is incredible and too precious! ”
Ugh!”
There was an exclamation at the scene again, and several Japanese people became even more excited.
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he couldn’t help but snort and get goosebumps all over his body.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue, who were standing next to him, also showed the same performance, their faces were red and uncomfortable.
Their eyes looking at this painting were also full of disgust.
At this moment, Araki, who was as pale as paper, suddenly trembled and asked:
“Mr. Sean, if this expressionist oil painting is really the work of Francis Bacon, as you say
” “It is a portrait of Freud created by him imitating Freud’s painting style and painting skills, and alluding to the intimacy between the two
” “So is this painting very precious, a top art of amazing value?” If you value this painting, what kind of valuation will you give”
Xiao Ran looked at the unlucky bastard sympathetically, thought for a while, and then gave the answer.
“It is completely certain that this painting is indeed a portrait created by Francis Bacon imitating Freud’s painting style, and the meaning is very special
” “In the current LGBT popular Western world, the discovery of this oil painting will definitely cause a huge sensation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the “Mona Lisa” of the LGBT community” ”
It can even be said that in the current Western world, This is the most politically correct work of art, and its value is naturally very amazing
” “Referring to Bacon’s “Freud Portrait Study”, the sky-high auction record set in 2013, and the current market situation, I estimate this oil painting at $200 million, only low!”
Unsurprisingly, the release of this ultra-high valuation immediately detonated the scene.
“What? This painting is worth more than $200 million! God, what am I missing?
Araki let out a sad cry and sat down on the ground with a lost soul.
Looking at Curator Qian Gu and them again, their eyes were about to explode, and they all held their heads and exclaimed.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue were the same, and the two beauties were stunned.
Only Xiao Ran and David behaved relatively calmly.
Francis Bacon, “Freud’s Portrait Study”, sold for $142 million
in 2013
