Chapter 1555 Brothers "Yellow Mountain Tour"
When everyone sat down again, Mao Yunsong said: "Actually, we have admired Mr. Zhou for a long time. He has made many moves in the international market at a young age. Recently, he has I went to the island country and got the Fujita family’s six-hand scroll. It was really a big deal!”
Zhou Zhi said: “That was because I happened to be inspecting the island country, and it was also thanks to Mr. Anzhai and Mr. Sakamoto, otherwise it would not have been possible! have Opportunity."
"Mr. Zhou is so polite. I heard that Mr. Anzhai pledged a piece of Yuan blue and white to the Fujita Art Museum in order to endorse Mr. Zhou? I believe there is no one in this world who can let Mr. Anzhai do this. I can count them on one hand."
Zhou Zhi's words made everyone laugh: "That's probably because Mr. Anzhai doesn't know many collectors who are short of money like me."< br>
Zhou Zhi asked: "I heard from Sister Wanqiu that you want to see me. This approach is a bit different from the norm. I don't know why?"
"It's about this..." Mao Yun Songdu felt like he didn't know where to start: "Actually, there are more reasons..."
"It doesn't matter, just say the same thing." Zhou Zhi said that he was patient.
“This matter was actually suggested to Mr. Luo after I heard that Mr. Zhou was a potential buyer.” Mao Junsong said: “Because I know that Mr. Zhou is a famous domestic painting and calligraphy restoration expert. "
"So Mr. Luo has paintings and calligraphy that need to be repaired?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"That's not true." Mao Yunsong shook his head: "Mr. Luo acquired basically all paintings by famous artists after the 20th century, and they are in very good condition."
"Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you know, Luo Is there a set of "Huangshan Tour" in your collection? ”
"Is it Zhang Daqian's work?" Zhou Zhi said: "Zhang Daqian visited Huangshan three times in 1928, 1931, and 1937, and selected twelve scenic spots to draw pictures. The album format Not big, only fifteen by thirty-seven centimeters per page."
" However, the three trips to Huangshan had a great influence on Zhang Daqian’s artistic creation, especially landscapes, so this set of albums is of great research value.”
“When Mr. Luo purchased this set of albums from Guardian, everyone was very interested. I think so. This is what we gave Mr. Luo at that time. Mao Yunsong said: "However, there is a new theory. Some Taiwanese researchers believe that these albums are Mr. Daqian's drafts rather than careful creations. In addition, the format is too small, so they should not be Mr. Daqian's. A representative work of the mature period of painting style."
"But my research on Mr. Daqian is not deep enough." Zhou Zhi frowned slightly: "You can't tell the difference, so maybe I can't do anything?"
"Mr. Zhou is talking to Mr. Xu When restoring the works of the former chairman of Samsung, his careful identification of the paper used for calligraphy and painting was amazing. " Mao Junsong. Said: "Later we studied that when Mr. Zhou restored calligraphy and paintings for the Forbidden City, especially for the Sichuan Museum, he was also very strict about the paper used for restoration, right?"
"Now we also need to use silk. "Yes." Lin Wanqiu added with a smile. Obviously, she provided most of this information to Mao Yunsong.
“There is an elder in the family who is an expert in Yang School restoration, and he has been exposed to this aspect since he was a child.” Zhou Zhi had to admit: “Later, I also received teachings from several great masters in the capital, and I have some experience.”
Mao Junsong breathed a sigh of relief: "So we would like to ask Mr. Zhou to conduct an appraisal of the paper used in the album "Huangshan Tour"."
"Mr. Daqian is very particular about the paper used for calligraphy and painting." Zhou Zhi said: "Because he disliked all kinds of paper, he specially developed bamboo paper in Jiajiang, Sichuan. The local production process is still preserved, and the paper factory calls it "Da Qian Paper" is ordered by the Jiazhou Painting School every year. "But even if I identify that the paper used in "Huangshan Tour" was relatively expensive at that time. , That doesn't mean anything?" Zhou Zhi asked doubtfully: "With Mr. Daqian's strength, which paper factory does he want to use, and the paper factory can't help but send him a piece of calligraphy? It’s just a living advertisement!”
“But what if Mr. Daqian uses Song Dynasty paper?” Mao Yunsong smiled confidently: “What if it’s "Huang"? "Mountain Tour" itself is painted on Song Dynasty paper. Can the conclusion of the Taiwanese researcher that the album is not a high quality be overturned? "
"Is it an exaggeration? : "Even in those days, Song paper was not so easy to find, otherwise the internal writers of the past dynasties would not have worked hard to imitate Song paper. Mr. Daqian has been Where did you get it? "
"I need to ask Mr. Zhou to identify these," Mao Yunsong said, "I only found clues from the letters between Mr. Daqian and his brother Zhang Shanzi. After getting some Song Dynasty paper, I can finally write about my favorite Huangshan. The period of the letters is not far from the period when these paintings were published. ”
"This batch of paintings itself is very sophisticated," Mao Yunsong said. "The Taiwanese researchers are unreasonable. I think since Mr. Daqian mentioned using Song Dynasty paper to paint the Huangshan scenery, the size of this batch of album pages coincides with it. If it can be proved Can my guess be counted as evidence? "
"But what if it is identified?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"If it is not Song Dynasty paper, then we can only explain it from the aspects of pen power, painting skills, age, etc." Mao Junsong said: "It was just my guess and it will not be announced to the public. ”
“That’s pretty much it.” Zhou Zhi nodded: "Speaking of evidence, it seems that I really have something that can be used as evidence..."
"Oh?" Mao Junsong did not expect that Zhou Zhi would say this, and was very surprised: "Yes. About "Yellow Mountain Tour"? ”
"Yes." Zhou Zhi nodded: "I have a scroll by Zhang Shanzi, also called "Travel to Huangshan Mountain", with twelve pages. It is exactly the same as Mr. Luo's collection of Mr. Daqian's album, but the shape is that of a picture scroll. "
"The second time we visited Huangshan, it was the two gentlemen who went hand in hand!" Mao Junsong was a little excited: "Has Mr. Zhou studied the paper used in Mr. Shanzi's paintings?"
"Mr. Shanzi used ordinary bamboo paper." Zhou Zhi said: "But the scroll is very long, with Wu Jingheng's "Huangshan Panorama" seal script on the first page, and Xu Chengyao, Liang Hongzhi, Huang Binhong, and Wu Hu on the deputy heads. Fan, Xu Shiying, Ye Gongchuo, Fu Zengxiang and other famous people wrote poems. "
The people who wrote poems were all famous people at that time. If Zhang Shanzi can use them to inscribe these characters, the quality of the paintings is naturally extraordinary. .
"It seems that this is also Mr. Shanzi's proud work." Mao Junsong asked: "Where did Mr. Zhou get this set of album pages?"
"I found it from Rongbaozhai when I was searching for animal themes." Zhou Zhi said: "I originally went to restore Yi Yuanji's "Two Monkeys with Columbine Leaves". I saw that the roe apes on it were really cute, so I asked Mr. Yuan to recommend it to me. For painters with similar painting techniques, Mr. Yuan recommended Mr. Shanzi, saying that Mr. Daqian learned the deer ape from his brother. "
"I found many paintings by famous artists that time. Among the animals, there is a picture of "Fenggan crouching tiger" by Mr. Zhanzi and a picture of "Tall trees listening to the stream" by Mr. Daqian. "
"However, I did not receive the picture of deer ape by Mr. Zhanzi. In order to make up for my regret, I saw that his album "Yellow Mountain Tour" was also quite sophisticated, so I also collected it."
