Soul Painter

I have only been in Paris for 15 days.

Gao Fan encountered 6 rainy days.

Received 152 relics.

Created 13 city soul themed paintings.

The number of successes is 0.

On the contrary, the 'Distortion', 'World' and 'Focus' skills have each increased by 1 to 3 points.

Gao Fan estimated that the reason why the painting was not completed, and his skills would improve, was that Gao Fan was consuming 'demon dye' to make 'Sakura White' and 'Paris Blue'.

So far, the second soul barnacle has been exhausted.

And the first eternal tiger tooth also consumed 40%.

Although a tiger tooth is smaller than a barnacle, its volume does not mean that there are more or less 'characteristics' contained in it. The mysterious amount in an eternal tiger tooth is far more than a soul barnacle.

In addition, Gao Fan believes that the level of his second-stage painting skills also determines the success of urban soul paintings.

Higher skill, or a more stable and solid soul being portrayed, greatly increases the chances of success.

However, improving the second-stage skills is not a goal that can be accomplished in a short time. .

So the key is the stability of the soul of the model.

He thought that the soldiers' experience of the battlefield and life and death would make their souls stronger, but he didn't expect that on the contrary, the cruelty of the battle with the devil made the souls of all soldiers full of cracks. Therefore, in the whole of France, the most determined dead will be Who is it? Robespierre burned? Louis XVI beheaded? The revolutionaries who stormed the Bastille in the name of liberty?

No, probably neither.

Gao Fan felt that the soul coordinate figure he wanted to erect for Paris should be an adventurer who had crossed life and death.

Yes, he needs an adventurer.

But where to find it?

"Take a rest." Gao Fan said to Anna.

In the past half month, Gao Fan and Anna had very little rest time.

Just a few hours a day.

Anna was full of interest in these two new 'colors', so she was enthusiastic and tireless, but Gao Fan began to feel bored because of repeated attempts to no avail.

Anna was obedient and had to put down her paintbrush to rest.

Gao Fan began to complain to her: "Can no one know how to remain calm after death? Is it so difficult?"

Anna blinked her eyes and didn't know how to answer. She had never died, so she seemed unable to answer this question.

Lawrence then walked in.

Looking at the dozens of paintings hanging or piled up in the whole studio, he sighed for the umpteenth time: "It would be great if we could hold an exhibition of these paintings..."

"Let's do it." Gao Fan waved his hand and said.

"I know these are unfinished products, so you don't want to...Huh? Are you willing?" Lawrence was surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Broker, let's hold an art exhibition, tell the people of Paris what we are doing, and then find some more precious relics, these are useless, they are all..." Gao Fan pointed at those relics, diaries and other materials irritably Said, but thinking that behind these relics were real human souls one after another, he shut up.

"That's great!" Lawrence was overjoyed.

...

the next day.

The exhibition, which was casually named "Soul of Paris" by the painter, but preferred to be called "Blue and White" in art history, opened for the first time.

Although the art exhibition started hastily, the location chosen was by no means hasty.

In fact, in the whole of Paris, there is only one museum that can hold Gao Fan's reputation, and that is the Louvre.

If Gao Fan chooses other museums to hold solo exhibitions, whether it is for the painter himself or the Louvre, in the eyes of the public and art critics, it will be a "disrespectful" choice.

At this moment, in Paris, only the Louvre is worthy of Govan's fame and status in the history of modern art, and only Govan can reopen the closed Louvre.

During the war, the Louvre Museum was closed. After all, the demon legion could rush to the city of Paris as soon as they spoke. The more than 400,000 works of art in the Louvre Museum are all treasures of the world and must not fall into the hands of demons. Know how to appreciate art, these treasures will not be preserved at all, it will be a great loss to human civilization.

So, the Louvre is now empty.

A large number of cultural relics have been shipped abroad.

Including "Mona Lisa", "Goddess of Victory", "Venus with Broken Arm" and so on.

Because the Louvre was evacuated, the people of Paris also carried out many protests. They believed that the art treasures in the Louvre belonged to the whole of Paris and the whole of France. If they left France and Paris, it meant that Paris and France Losing a precious part of it, so is not allowed.

Gao Fan doesn't understand the brain circuits of the citizens of Paris.

However, the re-opening of the Louvre's art exhibition did fill the emptiness in the hearts of a large number of Parisians. Therefore, when the news broke that the artist's solo exhibition opened, the Louvre regained its former grandeur, and there was an endless stream of visitors.

And this time Gao Fan was very generous. He not only let Lawrence open a solo exhibition with his unfinished works, but he also occasionally appeared in this art exhibition, but his whereabouts were still hard to find, but when the citizens visited the art exhibition, accidentally 'Swipe' to this young master who can already be called 'great' in their minds, and immediately felt the surprise of winning the lottery.

More surprises are still in the new works of the exhibition.

The caliber of Lawrence's external publicity is that "the painter has found the self and color that can represent the city". The citizens thought this was just a propaganda slogan full of literary and artistic temperament, but when they entered the Louvre Museum, they saw 13 or more paintings in the exhibition. Large or small theme paintings, looking at the unified color and style, immediately understand the true meaning of the slogan.

It was so apt.

It even made me feel a thrill of excitement.

As far as the eye can see, all the paintings are created with blue and white as the main tone.

Large expanses of blue appear in the background of all paintings.

There is no light and shadow, no light and shade, no distinction, no edge treatment, the blue is spread on the canvas like this, but you can clearly see that this is clearly what Paris looks like, that is an old castle, that is the Seine River, that is Paris Fields, those are the streets of Paris.

In the artist's latest works, Paris is paved with the blue that fills the world. This blue is firm, solid, and flowing. Like the city of Paris, it is firm and romantic, resolute and Vibrant, this fantastic blue is all about Paris.

At the same time, visitors find that they seem to have never seen this blue.

It is clearer than sky blue.

More melancholy than sea blue.

More profound than Klein blue.

Sure enough, the painter discovered a color that belongs to him alone.

And in this blue.

Occasionally a glimpse of whiteness can be glimpsed.

White is very weak, but it is the soul of the whole painting.

Think about it, in the large expanse of blue, that little bit of white is particularly shocking.

Yes, 'shocking'.

This word came to mind of every visitor who looked at the painting carefully at the same time.

Because those whites scattered in different blues, to them, seemed to be... corpses, yes, they looked like corpses.

Visitors looked at the paintings and whispered comments among them, including poorly dressed citizens and well-dressed critics and businessmen.

During the war years, there is nothing wrong with the price of artworks plummeting, but the value of some artworks is as strong as gold, such as the national treasures that have just been removed from the Louvre, and the painter in front of him has changed again The pioneering work of its artistic style.
