Treasure Hunt all over the World

The sluggishness lasted only a few seconds, and then the scene exploded.

"Hahaha"

Crazy laughter rang out, shaking the entire market.

In a blink of an eye, people were already laughing and crying, and they were crying!

"I laughed to death! I didn't expect Steven to have this side, it's a spoof!"

"Hahaha, when did Mark Anthony become Chinese? And he was wearing jeans, so funny!"

Betty stumbled over, put her hands on Ye Tian's shoulders, wiped her tears, laughed out of breath and said:

"Honey, you should ride a war horse, that's more like a Roman general, more like Mark Antony!"

"I think so too, let's wait until Jueying grows up! At that time, I will be able to experience the feeling of being a Roman general. It must be great! Unfortunately, this world can no longer be conquered with a sword!"

Ye Tian withdrew the short sword pointing at the sky, and said with a little regret.

The show is over! He put the Roman short sword back into the scabbard, took off the general's helmet, and put the two movie props back in the booth.

After the laughter fell, everyone continued to choose their favorite movie props. Everyone was smiling and very relaxed.

The show is done, buddy is now a crazy fan of Marlon Brando! Time to hit the final goal!

Ye Tian began to look at the rest of the movie souvenirs, pretending to appreciate them one by one, looking very seriously, like a crazy movie fan!

five minutes later,

He reached out and patted the stall owner on the shoulder, ready to make a move!

When the stall owner turned around, he pointed to several Marlon Brando movie memorabilia on the stall and said:

"Dude, I want these hand-painted movie posters, let's make an offer! Just don't take me for an idiot like Cook!"

He joked, and by the way hurt that bastard Cook, in a very relaxed tone.

But his eyes hidden under the sunglasses were extremely bright, and he was staring closely at one of the hand-painted movie posters, his eyes were so hot that he didn't want to move away for a second.

These five hand-painted movie posters are different, and they are the promotional posters of the five movies "Long Live Sabada", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "On the Waterfront", "The Lion of War", and "The True Colors of Men"!

It's all Marlon Brando movie posters from the 1950s, Marlon Brando's era!

What Ye Tian was staring at was the promotional poster of Marlon Brando's famous work, the classic movie shot in 1951, and "A Streetcar Named Desire".

Unlike the print movie poster, this one has very little written information.

In the upper left corner are the names of the two leading actors, Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, and in the center below the poster is the name of the movie, "a--desire" (A Streetcar Named Desire) written in cursive English.

There is a line of small characters under the movie name, which are the names of the director and screenwriter respectively.

In addition, there are no other words on the poster, and what people see is only a picture of wildness and desire.

Stanley, played by Marlon Brando, and Blanche, played by Vivien Leigh, embraced each other with forgetfulness. Both of them closed their eyes, and their exposed half faces were full of intoxication, immersed in sweet love!

The painter's painting skills are very superb, the picture is brightly colored, full of tension, and the brushstrokes are meticulous. Whether it is the movements, expressions, muscle lines, and most importantly, the charm of the characters, they are all vividly expressed!

From Marlon Brando's torn vest, explosive muscles, the red scratches on his back, and Vivien Leigh's fingers, everyone can feel wild and endless desire!

Anyone who has watched this movie must be very familiar with this picture. This is the cover poster of "A Streetcar Named Desire", and it is also the best interpretation of the whole movie.

Although this picture is familiar to everyone, few people have seen the hand-painted poster in front of them, let alone the artist who made it, and how much it is worth!

For Ye Tian, ​​it was easy to understand this information.

The white light emitted by the poster shows the age, this is indeed an antique from the 1950s, there is no doubt about it!

The more than ten layers of charming halos show that it has extraordinary artistic value, and it must be a top-level artwork from the hands of famous contemporary artists.

Of course, this also shows its market value, which is also unreliable, tens of millions of dollars is just the beginning!

I didn't see the author's signature on the painting, and there was no initials or anything!

This is not a complete painting art creation, but a reproduction of a movie screen. It is not a small task to identify who made it.

But this is the most reasonable situation, how could it end up in Jamestown, in a flea market, if it had an author's signature! I'm afraid it has been treasured long ago!

Seeing the charming halos on this poster, and the age when it was painted, Ye Tian already knew whose work it was!

There are only a few famous artists in the United States who have painted movie posters. Everyone has a name and surname. It is not difficult to distinguish from the artistic style.

When Ye Tian turned on the perspective and observed the poster more deeply, he quickly confirmed his judgment and knew that it was the work of that artist!

Among the bushy heads of Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh, Ye Tian saw two hidden letters 'n.R', which were obviously the abbreviation of the author's name.

These two letters are very small, and the color of the font is almost exactly the same as the head color of the two actors. One is golden and the other is black, just a little lighter, and it is impossible to detect with the naked eye!

Only with a high-power magnifying glass can you tell the difference, but who would eat a full meal and have nothing to do, use a high-power magnifying glass to study a movie poster!

Because of this, the secret was kept until Ye Tian saw this poster.

For others, this is a secret that is almost impossible to discover, but in Ye Tian's eyes, there is nowhere to hide this secret, and he has completely understood it in an instant!

The name abbreviation of the letter 'n.R', the meticulous illustration and painting style.

From these two points alone, it can be confirmed that the one who drew this movie poster was the famous American painter and illustrator in the 20th century, Norman Rockwell!

This is a famous artist from New York. He became an illustrator at the age of 16 and continued to create throughout his life until he was 82. He was once named "the most popular artist of this century" by the New York Times.

Norman's works record the development and changes of the United States in the 20th century, and are a microcosm of American society.

From a barefoot boy in hot summer to an astronaut on the moon; from a lazy town storefront to a skyscraper office; from colorful fairy tale books to a shining TV screen, there are some in his paintings reflect.

His works not only cover the two world wars, the US-Soviet Cold War, economic depression and racial issues, but also the past presidents from Kennedy to Carter, movie stars, and boy scouts.

Since he was born as an illustrator, he mainly drew covers for newspapers and magazines and movie posters, and his style of painting was sweet and optimistic, so he was not recognized by the mainstream art world.

In the eyes of many contemporary artists, Norman's paintings are regarded as artificial, with only material surface and no spiritual substance.

In the field of art criticism, many people only regard Norman as an illustrator, not an artist or a painter!

For these, Norman does not care, he also likes to call himself an illustrator.

However, some of Norman's paintings are indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and loved by Americans, no worse than any artist.

With the passage of time, Norman has been recognized and accepted by more and more people, and the price of his works is also rising rapidly, and he is now one of the most expensive works of American artists.

One of his masterpieces, "Prayer", set a new auction record for an American artist's work at Sotheby's auction in New York in December 2013, with a turnover of US$4.68 million!

Although this record was soon broken, it was enough to prove Norman's artistic status and the market value of his works.

The painting "Prayer" was also dated in 1951, which happened to be the same year as "A Streetcar Named Desire" in front of Ye Tian, ​​which was the peak period of Norman's artistic career.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the dozen or so layers of charming halos, that Ye Tian is so sure that the value of this hand-painted movie poster will never be less than 10 million US dollars, and it may even be far more.

It is not impossible to create a new transaction record for Norman's works!

Ye Tian's gaze became hotter, and he stared closely at the movie poster in front of him through the sunglasses, lest this important treasure suddenly disappear from his eyes.
