Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 2173 The Paranoid Artist

Before giving the appraisal conclusion, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to turn on the live broadcast microphone again, and loudly stated his appraisal conclusion to everyone on the live broadcast end.

This is of course intentional, and everyone who hears the conclusion of the appraisal and sees this impressionist painting can be the most powerful witness.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if the German guy wants to play any tricks, he will be a little more scrupulous!

Walker and the others all stopped what they were doing, looked at Ye Tian, ​​and at the oil painting that Derek was holding in his hand, their eyes were extremely hot.

"Degenerate artist? Steven, which Impressionist artist is this the work of?"

Although Derek and the others knew about the so-called 'degenerate art', they couldn't identify the source of this impressionist painting, so they asked this question.

Not only them, but also the people in the temporary meeting room of the Temple Palace, many experts and scholars in the square outside, media reporters and onlookers, as well as the vast majority of people in front of the live broadcast terminal, were at a loss at this time.

What is Degenerate Art? What is a degenerate artist? Many people don't know about it, and have never heard of it!

Ye Tian turned his head to look at Derek, then glanced at the crowd, and then said with a smile:

"Let's talk about this impressionist painting first, and then explain to you what is degenerate art and what is a degenerate artist. It will be more intuitive and easy for everyone to understand.

The Impressionist painting in front of me is a work by Monet, the leader of Impressionism and a top art master. It was created at the peak of Monet's artistic career, and it can be said to be invaluable.

While traveling in the Mediterranean in 1907, Monet painted this Impressionist painting, one of a series of landscapes and seascapes he produced at the time, depicting a Provence landscape.

Before World War II, this painting was in the hands of many top collectors, but during World War II, this Monet painting suddenly disappeared and has not been reappeared until today.”

Before the words fell, Derek, who was holding this top-level artwork, and Walker, who was standing beside him, cheered loudly.

"Wow! It's actually a painting by Impressionist artist Monet, and it's Monet's peak work, so there is no doubt that this painting must be a top-notch work of art!"

"It's really great! This is the most valuable treasure. Just this one painting may be worth seven or eight boxes of gold, or even more nacui gold!"

While Walker and the others were cheering, the inside and outside of the Temple Palace, as well as in front of countless live broadcast terminals, were completely boiling.

"Ah! The paintings of the peak period of Monet's artistic career, am I right? The bastard Steven is so lucky that he can find all kinds of treasures."

"It was Michelangelo's "Madame Bruges" just now, and now it is Monet's "Landscape of Provence". I can't even imagine what kind of top antique artworks will appear next!"

Compared with ordinary people, experts and scholars who have studied the history of Western art and Impressionist art were more shocked at this time.

The first time they saw this impressionist painting, each of them jumped three feet high, jumped up from their seats, and stared at the painting dumbfounded.

Of course they knew about this impressionist oil painting, the great value of this painting, and the hidden history behind this painting, so they were so shocked.

Before they could react, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came again, reaching everyone's ears clearly.

"Time is limited. I will not introduce the details of Monet's landscape oil painting here. When I have time later,

Let me tell you more about this delightful painting.”

Hearing his words, Walker and Derek nodded in unison, and there was no disagreement.

As for the people in front of the live broadcast, even if they have opinions, they cannot reflect them, and Ye Tian doesn't care about their feelings.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"After introducing the origin of this landscape oil painting, let's talk about what is degenerate art? What is degenerate artist? These are closely related to Hitler, and there are many stories hidden behind it.

As we all know, Hitler has a very strong artistic complex. He often regarded himself as an artist. In his youth, Hitler's ideal was to become a Michelangelo-style artist.

As an adult, the ideal of becoming an artistic genius still appeared in Hitler's mind from time to time. For this reason, he passed the Vienna Academy of Arts twice, but unfortunately his paintings were not appreciated by the examiners.

After failing to take the Vienna Academy of Arts, in order to make a living, in the next few years, he relied on simple watercolor paints to copy postcards to earn living expenses. During that period of time, he was very embarrassed.

After moving to Munich in 1913, Hitler's career as an artist made a significant leap forward. In Munich, he began to paint more and more oil paintings, which sold well and even supported his sister Paula.

In 1914, the First World War kicked off, and Hitler still did not give up painting on the battlefield. He contributed articles to front-line newspapers and drew sketches in camps, during which he created many works.

I believe that Hitler's paintings must be hidden here, and there may be a lot of them. At that time, everyone can see how Hitler's painting level is and whether he is an artist."

Hearing his words, many neo-Nacuis on the live broadcast immediately screamed excitedly, like a group of demons dancing wildly!

For these neo-Nacuis, it is self-evident what the artwork created by Hitler himself means!

Without the slightest pause, Ye Tian's voice kept coming out.

"By 1918, Germany's defeat caused Hitler's artistic enthusiasm to cool down quickly, and he decided to devote himself to politics. Even so, he continued to paint, and he did not give up painting until he became the German chancellor.

However, painting has given way to politics and turned into a hobby, and his short career as an artist is over, but Hitler always feels that he is an artist in his heart, and he claims to have a high appreciation and attainment for art.

He once vetoed the punishment of a bankrupt on the grounds that "this person is an artist, and I am also an artist, and the artist does not understand financial transactions." His artistic complex inevitably affected Nacui's cultural policy.

In addition to calling himself an artist, Hitler was also a collector. Before World War II, he began to collect a large number of artworks. Not only did he pay for them himself, but the Nazis also frantically collected artworks all over Europe.

In art transactions, Hitler, like many collectors, showed a unique paranoia. He usually selected artworks from auction catalogs, and then entrusted middlemen to take pictures without considering the price at all.

As time went by, Hitler's enthusiasm for art collection gradually became an obsession. He considered himself an expert in art issues and asked others to regard his evaluation as a standard.

Hitler prefers the works of German Romantic painters and Italian Renaissance, as well as the painters of the German School of Painting in the 19th century, and has collected many related works of art, such as "Madame Bruges".

His artistic tendency is probably related to his physical condition. During the First World War, he was attacked by gas bombs, which affected his eyesight and lost his strong perception of color.

In private conversations and public speeches, Hitler often attacked modern art since Impressionism, calling these modern arts "deformed scribbling or degenerate art", and dismissing them.

These representatives of modern art, many top art masters, such as Monet, Gauguin, Chagall, Renoir, Picasso and other famous painters, are therefore called "degenerate artists""

Hearing this, many people on the live broadcast end suddenly realized that they knew what degenerate art is.

Ye Tian's performance was still going on, and the people on the live broadcast end listened with gusto, and were even fascinated.

"Actually, Hitler's artistic concept followed realism out of political needs. He advocated using ideology and art to promote politics, and tried to use art to reflect politics in painting.

Impressionism and other modern art genres were classified as degenerate art by Hitler, but for the works of these degenerate arts, especially the masterpieces, his Nazis started to plunder wildly.

In the history of Western art, it was a dark history. The looted top artworks included a series of works by famous painters such as Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Picasso.

According to incomplete statistics, the total number of works of art looted by Hitler on the grounds of "degenerate art" is as high as 600,000. After the end of World War II, a large part of these works of art have never been seen.

In the eyes of the world, art is the most obvious label of Hitler. Many people even joked that the main purpose of Hitler launching World War II was to snatch top art.

It is a great surprise to discover this long-lost landscape oil painting by Impressionist master Monet today. I believe that we will discover more top-level artworks in the future.

For example, the works of famous painters such as Cézanne, Renoir, and Picasso, in the eyes of Hitler, their paintings are degenerate art, but in my eyes, these degenerate art are priceless treasures! "

Before the words fell, the outside world was completely boiling.

"More top-level works of art, could it be that those degenerate art paintings looted by Hitler and the works of those top art masters are all hidden in this underground palace? This bastard Steven dares to think too much!"
