Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After seeing Liang En's oil painting, Marie Antoinette immediately decided to hold a salon three days later to summon some artists to appreciate the painting.

According to her, the core of famous art works is the quality of the work, but publicity is also very important, so she hopes to prove Liang En's oil painting level in this way.

What Liang En has to do is to participate in this salon when the time comes. At the same time, he may need to perform an improvisation on the spot to show his artistic thoughts and artistic level.

This is very common for artists' salons, because artists are often emotional and inspiration is very important to them.

Therefore, gatherings like theirs often have a variety of creative supplies, allowing everyone to express their inspiration and communicate with other people present.

Of course, this is also a somewhat historical practice. Nowadays, salons are more populated by a group of rich people and some poor artists. It has basically become an art transaction or social occasion.

It's just that the gallery on Mary's side has always positioned itself as the most high-end art gathering place, so it adopts this ancient practice.

When the salon was held three days later, Liang En keenly discovered that this was indeed a pure gathering of artists. At least through communication with the participants, he realized that the participants here were all real artists.

The situation at the party was just as Mary imagined before. The sunflowers that appeared as the finale attracted the attention of everyone in the audience as soon as they were released. Everyone stood up from their seats and walked to the edge of the oil painting to start observing.

The people watching became more and more surprised. At first they thought it was a copy drawn by some unknown rookie.

After all, as a pure art salon, although the smell of copper is eliminated here, it does not mean that this is a cold party that only talks about art.

As long as people are human, they have the need to communicate, and even the salon itself has a communicative nature. Mary, who understands this very well, naturally makes this salon more suitable for everyone to communicate.

So under normal circumstances, some recommendation work will also be carried out in this salon. For example, the works of certain newcomers will be brought here and then become famous through the mouth of others.

Of course, the premise of doing this is that those works really have merit, otherwise other artists will not blindly praise their own brands with their eyes closed.

So when they first saw the painting of sunflowers, everyone else thought it was just a young man who wanted to make a name for himself by imitating the works of famous artists, and this left some bad impressions.

Because ordinary people who want to become famous on such occasions must use their own works. After all, ordinary people are really far behind those masters. This kind of imitation work obviously has the feeling of imitating others.

But with in-depth observation, everyone was shocked, because apart from the new and excessive nature of this painting that they could see at first glance, the style of this painting seemed to be almost different from those existing Van Gogh works. the difference.

Unlike most painters, Van Gogh sold few oil paintings during his lifetime, so his works are preserved in a few places. In other words, you only need to go to a few museums to see his works.

The artists invited by Mary are all above average, so basically all of them have seen Van Gogh's works, and there are even admirers who have studied every one of Van Gogh's works.

So in this case, when they began to study this work seriously, they quickly realized that this work was completely different from the imitations they had seen before.

To be honest, there are too many imitations of Van Gogh's works. For example, there are official imitations for sale in front of the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands, which were painted by commercial painters.

At first glance, these works are actually not very different from the original ones, but if you look closely, you will find that the difference between the two is not small in feel.

But Liang En's painting of sunflowers was completely different. Several people even pasted it on the painting from far to near, but they still couldn't see the difference between this painting and the original.

"This is simply unbelievable -" A famous classical painter who can now sell an oil painting for more than 20,000 euros looked at the oil paint on the canvas with a magnifying glass and his face was shocked.

"If the painting didn't look so new and some of the modern dyes used today, I would have thought it was painted by Van Gogh himself."

"That's right -" another art critic said with the same shock. "This is not an imitation, because a pure imitation cannot achieve the current situation at all. Only a painter who truly understands Van Gogh can do this."

The appearance of this painting shocked everyone so much that when Mary introduced Liang En to everyone, most people showed disbelief.

Because in their opinion, the person who can create such works should be an experienced older man, not a young man like Liang En.

"I am an archaeologist, a historian, and an art lover." Looking at everyone's questioning looks, Liang En explained simply.

"And I also have some talent in painting oil paintings, so after combining my research on Van Gogh, I unexpectedly succeeded in imitating some of the styles of this great painter."

"No - not just a few, I can definitely tell you that in my more than twenty years of research, I have never seen anything so close to Van Gogh's work." said the oldest art critic.

As a famous French art critic and a contributing writer for several important art magazines, this old man is also an avid Van Gogh fan, so it is absolutely impossible to admit his mistake in this regard.

"Although I don't know how you did it, I am sure that since Van Gogh's death, many people have imitated his works, but no one can do what you do."

"Maybe it's because I'm not a pure artist." Faced with such a question, Liang En raised his head and thought for a few seconds before answering.

"Everyone should think about Van Gogh's works from a purely artistic perspective, but I studied Van Gogh's life through a historical research perspective and had an emotional resonance with him. I think this may be what I can do. s reason."

This is obviously not very logically logical, but no one can put forward other opinions on Liang En's statement, because sometimes art is completely unreasonable.

To give the simplest example, many art masters may not have received much formal education, but the works they ultimately create will lead a trend.

"What you said is very possible, because no one of us has considered the problem from this perspective before." Although Liang En just said it casually, the art critic in front of him really started to think about it.

Because Liang En showed his own work to prove his level, and when all the normal explanations were incomprehensible, his somewhat absurd explanation seemed the most reasonable.
