Chapter 1094 Why do you have a bowl of rice to eat
"It must be their admiration for the master craftsman. They cannot bear or dare not covet the merits of the ancestor." Mr. Wang looked at the bottom of the rhinoceros box. : "Although it is hard to disobey the emperor's order, at that time People are also very superstitious.”
“Zhang Cheng’s lacquerware was no longer practical in the Qing Dynasty. When it was displayed, I didn’t look at the bottom. I could use more brushes and less brushes to fool the emperor. This can also be regarded as a silent resistance for them. Right."
"There is actually another similar phenomenon." Mr. Wang said with a smile: "Official utensils are not allowed to contain the craftsman's private money, but we also have some official utensils. A very secret place, found a craftsman Leave your name secretly.”
“It seems that there is a similar phenomenon on the terracotta warriors and horses, right?” Zhou Zhi seems to have seen in some report that the terracotta warriors and horses are hollow, and some craftsmen leave their names. Inside the inner wall.
"It's almost the same meaning." Mr. Wang smiled and said: "Is there anyone who is so bold as to dare to continue the postscript after Qianlong's "Complete Map of Bashu"?!"
Zhou Zhi: "..."
In any case, Zhou Zhi has added another important item to his collection - a rhinoceros and moire rhinoceros-patterned rhinoceros and rhinoceros pattern embroidered embroidery box made by Zhang Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty.
In the next two days, Zhou Zhi was dragged to the National Expo by Mr. Wang and Mr. Qi to participate in the preparations for the charity auction.
The most important part of the preparation work is naturally to identify the items to be auctioned and to give a guided starting price.
Of course, this is also a good opportunity to start communication. Apart from ancient paintings and porcelain, Zhou Zhi is relatively weak in other aspects. It can be considered that he has opened his eyes and gained knowledge with his two elders.
The donors are all well-known people, and the things are basically open to the public. Many of them have appeared at auctions or exhibitions, so the difficulty of identification is not too high.
People from the art academy are also here, because among the donated items this time, there are many works by modern and contemporary painters, which are enough to hold an exhibition.
Zhou Zhi’s suggestion is to simply build momentum, arrange a hall, hold a cultural exhibition, hang up all the auction items, display them well, and then open them to the public for a few days so that everyone can come. look.
There are many treasures here, such as Xu Beihong's "Double Auspicious Pictures of Pines and Cypresses" provided by Zhou Zhi, and the porcelain soup basin with poems about snowy plums, which are all considered important items.
As for Bi Botao's Panasonic Wolu pen holder and Wang Qi's character screen, they are not very eye-catching now.
The status of the two authors is still very low now, but in later generations, the works of the Eight Friends of Zhushan will be prohibited from exporting abroad.
Among the other lots, the Li family provided a set of Tang Sancai twelve zodiac figurines, similar in shape to the Yuanmingyuan animal heads, but with one sitting and one standing.
This is to continue to heat up the residual heat of the return of the Old Summer Palace animal head, and it is also a hot spot for speculation.
The Feng family provided a large vase made by the Emperor Qianlong with a doucai and pastel dark eight-immortal pattern, which is extremely exquisite and worth no less than the two revolving vases that Zhou Zhi painstakingly photographed that year.
Even many wealthy merchants participated, such as Feng Cang and Pan Shiya, who took out a set of Qing Dynasty dragon robes and phoenix robes for auction.
Zhou Zhi estimated that these two pieces of clothing would eventually return to their hands. Pan Shiya was collecting the clothes of the Ming and Qing emperors, and he didn't seem willing to donate them.
Master Ma also contributed a piece of Duan inkstone from the Qing Dynasty. The shape is unremarkable, but the four words "Hejian Jishi" under the inkstone made Zhou Zhi feel itchy.
This is Ji Xiaolan's inkstone. Now Ji Xiaolan only has some folklore and is not well-known. His calligraphy and painting will soar after the TV series comes out.
Zhou Zhi has made up his mind to get this inkstone.
However, this only lasted two days, and Zhou Zhi was dragged away by Mr. Yuan to go shopping. Then Zhou Zhi felt that girls’ liking for shopping may have nothing to do with their education, introverted and extroverted personality, or their age. It all depends on the categories girls like.
In two days, Mr. Yuan took Zhou Zhi to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the Chinese Painting Academy, and the Liulichang Rongbaozhai, doing only one thing, buying paintings.
I don’t know whether Mr. Yuan regarded Zhou Zhi as a big sheep to be slaughtered, or he was the director of the Poverty Alleviation Office. In short, he kept promoting the works of contemporary painters to him.
Among them are mainly works by Zhouzhi fellows and Sichuan painters.
Many of these people are not well-known yet, such as Shi Lu’s elder brother Feng Jianwu, and Li Wenxin alongside him, as well as Li Qiongjiu and Li Daoxi, the founders of the Jiazhou School of Painting. Their paintings, even large-scale masterpieces, are now Just a few hundred yuan, a thousand yuan.
Even if the Chang'an Painting School was founded, the famous Shi Lu could buy his large-scale masterpieces for RMB 100,000.
In addition to these people, there is also Su Baozhen, who passed away just a few years ago. He has a 4-foot-6 painting. Now you can buy one for about 1,000.
Su Baozhen’s paintings were transferred from Yuzhou Jinyun Gallery to Rongbaozhai. At that time, they were priced at two hundred yuan a piece. The increase was not obvious while the painter was alive. Once the painter passed away, they were sold in just two years. It's doubled.
Su Baozhen is very good at painting grapes and is known as "Su Grape". In addition, he also has many paintings that reflect the great changes in Sichuan over the years, which are very full of the spirit of the times.
In addition to Su Baozhen, there are also his contemporaries such as Cen Xuegong, Liang Baiyun, Guo Shiqing, Han Zhizhong, Liu Zezeng and other Sichuan painters.
Due to the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan Fine Arts University accepted a large number of artistic talents and formed a rich tradition of education. Many painters emerged after that.
For example, Liang Baiyun, his six panoramic bamboo curtain paintings "Three Gorges" in 1973 were exhibited at the Cyprus World Exhibition;
Also for example, Cen Xuegong, who created a large number of paintings about the Three Gorges His works are known as "Cen Sanxia".
These paintings are very consistent with the theme of the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund, and the price of the paintings is only a thousand.
There are also many types of paintings by painters. For example, Li Keran also painted a lot of "Landscapes of the Li River". Many of his social works were "copies of himself" and he didn't even bother to change the poems.
This is not a problem only for modern painters. Even Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, his poem "Half life has been spent as a man, an independent study whistles in the evening breeze. The pearls under the pen are not sold, and the wild vines are thrown away leisurely." "" appeared in at least four "Ink Grapes".
Moreover, these paintings have been handed down and are collected in the Forbidden City, Taiwan, and Zhejiang Museum of Art.
Therefore, Zhou Zhi is quite picky. Price is not an issue, but he only wants "masterpieces".
Even so, I still collected dozens of works in one day. In addition to flowers, birds and figures, many of them are based on Sichuan landscapes, such as Three Gorges, Emei, Qingcheng, Ertan, etc., combining modernity and tradition. , reflecting the development and changes of the times, which is very interesting.
However, these works were not framed, and there were still problems in putting them on display, so Zhou Zhi took Mr. Wang to the calligraphy and painting restoration room of the National Museum of China.
Zhou Zhi mounted all these calligraphy and paintings there, and showed the staff the traditional "gong-gong" mounting technique to promote communication among everyone.
After finishing the matter, Mr. Qi patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder with a smile: "One day in the future, if you can't find a job, come to the National Museum or the Forbidden City, or in the restoration room, you will have a bowl of rice! "
In addition to these, Zhou Zhi's work at night is to work with Mr. Ma to count the things in Mr. Wang's "Zizhenji" that have been transferred to him.
