Soul Painter

On the fourth day, Anna seemed to be suffering from 'Gao Fan's stress phobia'. In Gao Fan's not strict, even mild teaching voice, she would tremble with fear.

Every time Gao Fan stood behind her, her shoulders began to lose support.

When Gao Fan spoke to her, she didn't even dare to look into Gao Fan's eyes.

"God, Gao, what did you do to her?" George Baselitz asked in surprise after seeing this scene, "Did you snatch her soul?"

The old butler translated the words of the master of realism.

Gao Fan expressed his innocence. In his opinion, Anna possesses a magical talent, but this talent also binds her in a safe 'shell'. She thinks that by showing her talent, she can survive in this world. Right, it must have had something to do with her miserable childhood—the childhood of a genius is never smooth.

So when she enters a completely unfamiliar and yearning knowledge field, it will inevitably bring about a strong inferiority complex. When she does not do well, she tremblingly faces Gao Fan's state, as if Gao Fan will hit her at any time. Like a stray animal on the street.

Of course Gao Fan would not beat her, but she may have been beaten when she was a child.

Through the 'distortion', Gao Fan could see Anna crouched in the dark corner of the cabinet when she was a child, and the heavy and threatening footsteps outside the cabinet, which was the shadow of her life that she could never get rid of.

"I'll take her!" said George Baselitz.

The other members of the SUN CLUB stopped George.

And Anna herself is not willing to leave here. The skill Gao Fan taught her is fatally attractive, and it seems to be an interpretation of a certain truth.

From a certain point of view, Anna can be regarded as the first disciple of the Devil School founded by Gao Fan. The painting technique of "distortion" requires extremely high technical requirements, not only that, but also requires the creator to have extremely keen emotional observation skills.

Drawing skills, that is, the three basic items, are not a problem for Anna. Due to the savant syndrome, she may be close to full, but emotion is her weakest point. Her previous life experience and the illness she suffers from make her Just pretending to be a human being and living in human society.

Gao Fan believes that if art is the direct path to the gods, then pain is the path, or even the only path, from man to god.

The demonic school must consist of pain and madness.

Under the pressure of herself, Anna lost weight day by day, and within half a month, she was so thin that she was inseparable from Gao Fan.

At this time, her painting skills were approaching Gao Fan day by day.

Gao Fan felt that Anna must have awakened the technique of 'distortion', so he handed over the draft to her with confidence, and turned to become Monet wholeheartedly, using Monet's 'microscopic' technique to create "Portrait of a Elk Cat".

George Baselitz did not leave this unnamed manor. Although it did not help the creation of the two, he still lingered in this church day after day.

Georg Baselitz seemed to see the divine being born.

Standing in the center of the church every day, on the left is Gao Fan, the ultimate beauty god who rules everything, and he exists in everything, eternal and eternal.

On the right is Anna. The elk cat in her works presents an intoxicating beauty, which covers the body and mind, and washes the viewer's soul from all senses, every nerve ending and pore.

George Baselitz felt that he was bathed in the sanctity, and everyone in the SUN CLUB was also satisfied with the crazy creative state of Gao Fan and Anna. They guessed that the real sanctity would come soon.

The only question is, why are there two elk portraits?

Is there any metaphor for such relative placement?

"In Michelangelo's "Genesis" for the Sitings Chapel, there seems to be only one God. Why do we get two gods?" Someone asked.

Facing these questions, George answered them: "What are you delusional about? As I said, these are just two studies, which are samples for Gao to hone his painting skills. They are not real murals. Gao didn't even make an overall mural. Layout, of course, I don't doubt that he has the ability, but he has not created a corresponding mural work, so I guess you may be able to see a first draft when the next lavender blooms."

The well-known British writer Peter Mayer described November in Provence: "The autumn wind blows off the last grape leaf, and the tangled grape branches look like clusters of wire with brown barbs curled up in the cold wind."

Provence has the same latitude as the Western Regions in China, so November is already cold.

The old butler thoughtfully lit a charcoal brazier inside the church. While the high-quality anthracite provides warmth, it will not blacken the vault inside the church.

When Gao Fan got tired of drawing, he and Anna gathered around the charcoal brazier to discuss his draft.

It was the end of November, and it had been three weeks since Anna came to the Unnamed Manor.

The draft of the three-meter-tall elk cat statue is almost finished, but this is just a study. If you want to complete the complete church painting, Gao Fan needs to conceive the painting format and layout of the entire church wall and ceiling. In this regard, Anna can help.

""Genesis" uses the forward-shrinking method to create the Zenith figures, that is to say, because of the viewing angle, the Zenith figures have to present a receding perspective effect, so that the lower limbs of the characters are in the foreground and the head is in the background. This method is also known as elevation perspective." Anna said.

Now that she has mastered some 'distorted' painting skills, Anna has some confidence when facing Gao Fan, no longer trembling and cramped, but the admiration in her eyes is sparkling.

"I haven't drawn it before..." Gao Fan drew a pattern on the draft paper.

"Michelangelo never used this technique before he created "Genesis", but he still did it very well, and you have the same ability." Anna said.

Um. Gao Fan nodded, there is no doubt about it. He burned his hands on the charcoal fire to warm his stiff fingers. The overall evaluation is 45% for Monet and 25% for Govan.

Monet's technique is indeed stronger.

But Gao Fan already had a premonition that when the two "Portraits of Elk and Cats" were completed, he would have the opportunity to combine the two master techniques into one.

"Next, I'll teach you the color of the Demon School." Gao Fan said to Anna.

Anna trembled at first, and she was about to learn more profound knowledge. She couldn't imagine what kind of wisdom the young painter in front of her used to create such a painting technique that was close to the truth. For her, it was like a pilgrimage.

If her ability is not enough, it will be a blasphemy to the truth and Gao Fan, so she began to watch Gao Fan talk about the use of those colors with the awe of the current surging in her nerves...
