Soul Painter

As one of the five largest museums in the world, the Metropolitan Museum has more than 3.3 million exhibits, including architecture, sculpture, painting, sketching, prints, photos, musical instruments and other art forms in various historical periods at home and abroad.

The next day, the quartet of Demon Painting School plus Lawrence appeared in this treasure trove of human artworks.

Hollein, the curator of the Metropolitan Museum, and Lawrence are old friends, so the five of them enjoyed some special treatment. They didn't have to line up and entered the museum through the internal personnel passage.

Huo Laiyin personally welcomed the members of the Devil School, saying that the Metropolitan Museum is full of brilliance because of you. After all, whether it is Gao Fan, Lu Guoying or Anna, they are all masters of oil painting in the world.

However, after walking in the museum for five minutes, except for Lawrence who was still greeting Hollein, the other four artists had already 'lost' one after another.

Lu Guoying and Wu Haoxue were 'lost' in Degas's exhibition hall.

This exhibition hall displays Degas' oil paintings, sculptures, sketches and other works.

As one of the most important painters at the beginning of French Impressionism, Degas' pioneering oil painting art in the 18th century seems to be quite different from the trend led by Gao Fan in the 21st century at the moment, except that Degas and Laudrac Such friends who fight side by side, but Gao Fan only has one alone, which is wrong, Gao Fan also has AA.

"Degas likes elegant lines. He learned slender, coherent, and clear line drawing from the academy. He is the best successor of Ingres. Although many people say that Degas is an impressionist, I always It is believed that his works have the typical styles of classicism, modernism and romanticism."

Lu Guoying stood in front of Degas's "Dancing Classroom", the treasure of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, teaching Wu Haoxue.

"Pay attention to the composition of this painting, especially the mirror. There are more than 20 figures in the whole picture. The mirror strengthens the sense of depth. At the same time, look at his capture of the movements of the figures. Before Degas, the figures in the painting were large. Parts are static, starting from this painting, the characters in the oil painter's pen come alive..."

When Lu Guoying talked about this.

Gao Fan and Anna also walked to the Degas exhibition hall.

"Dance Classroom" is the treasure of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of course they can't miss it, and they can't miss Lu Guoying's explanation.

After all, Lu Guoying has been a master for so many years, and he is still an academic, so the line of inheritance between Ingres and Degas is very clear. Listening to Lu Guoying's explanation and looking at the painting in front of him, Gao Fan must have master-level skills It was written by Degas, so he asked Anna what it was.

"Maybe... life? The characters in Degas' paintings are alive." Anna hesitated.

Although Anna is not sure, Gao Fan believes in Anna who has dual perspectives of mathematics and aesthetics.

Since it is a masterpiece and an epoch-making work, four people, young and old, appreciate it for half an hour, and then start to copy it in practice. When the four people set up four drawing boards and stand in front of "Dance Classroom" , the scene was a bit spectacular, and it also had a sense of ceremony.

Soon, a large number of tourists also poured into the Metropolitan Museum. After all, the Metropolitan Museum has a daily flow of about 20,000 people, and Degas' works will attract most of them.

These art lovers quickly recognized Gao Fan, and then someone recognized Lu Guoying, and then Anna was also recognized, but no one knew Wu Haoxue.

There is only one difficulty in copying works in museums, which is the crowd watching. Lu Guoying and Gao Fan are so thick-skinned that they don't care about it at all, and Anna doesn't have the word "face" in her mind at all.

Only Wu is studious, no matter in his previous life or this life, he has never been used to this kind of scene, seeing more and more people watching and whispering, he even blushes a little.

He heard someone in the crowd say: "That's Gao, that's Lu, that's AA, the three major painters of the Demon Sect have gathered, and they are copying Degas, and the paintings they are producing now are even worse than Degas's." Is it expensive?"

Someone also replied: "Only one person taller is enough. Degas' works are estimated to be around 50 million. "Dancing Classroom" is one of his most proud works, and it will not exceed 100 million US dollars. You know that the transaction of Gao most works What's the price?"

This is obviously a man who knows the market.

"I know, it's 1.27 billion, but that can't be counted. It's sold in packages, and it's a work with a specific theme that is sold to a specific group..."

"No, no, the transaction price is equal to the artist's worth. Even if he can't sell his paintings in the future, he is already the most expensive artist in the 600-year history of oil painting, so he is the only one. His current copy , may be equivalent to Degas' works."

"This is too exaggerated, the acquirer is too irrational..."

Whispering voices made Wu studious like a light on his back.

Perhaps it was because the people around him were too good, and this kind of distracting mood made him unable to integrate into his own brush for a long time.

Gao Fan glanced at Wu Haoxue.

Look at the tourists behind you. There are quite a few of them. There must be dozens of people. Some people even started to use their mobile phones to take pictures of this rare scene of the gathering of demon masters. But seeing Gao Fan's eyes, the lady who took out her mobile phone She said 'Sorry' softly, and put down the phone, she thought Gao Fan would mind this.

cough~

Gao Fan coughed, and he turned to face the tourists. When the tourists met Gao Fan's eyes, they suddenly applauded lightly. The applause was sparse and slight, because they didn't want to disturb the silence in the museum, but it also seemed Respectful and solemn.

"Gao, congratulations." Someone said.

"Congratulations on becoming the most expensive oil painter in history." Someone said.

"It's my honor to meet you today, can you sign me?" someone asked.

"Hello~" Gao Fan nodded to them, then stretched out his hand to pull Wu Haoxue to his side, "Let me introduce to you, this is my apprentice, Wu Haoxue, you can call him 'WU', he is the successor of the Demon Sect He, the next master of oil painting, may not be worth more than me in the future, but he will not be lower than any oil painter in history, please remember his name.”

clatter...

Light applause rang out several times, but this time it was aimed at Wu Xixue.

Wu Haoxue was stunned for a while, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Gao Fan again.

"Come on, I've said it all, don't embarrass me." Gao Fan patted Wu studious on the shoulder, and went to his drawing board to start copying.

Wu Haoxue stood in front of his drawing board again, and suddenly felt his mind calm down, yes, I am the master of the future, I have double skills, I can't stop here...

He put the pen on the drawing board and started his own copying.

Gao Fan glanced at Wu Haoxue, and seeing that this kid had entered the state, he shook his head. Although this kid is a bit shameless, he doesn't conform to the demeanor of the Devil School, but fortunately he has the blessing of the master's soul, and he can still be saved.
