Chapter 1568 Who is Wei Zixi
"Two teachers, please help me find out." The first person to come over was a middle-aged man. He was originally in Zhou Zhi's team, but after coming over After looking at Zhou Zhi and Mr. Sun, he said this skillfully, and then put the package in his hand calmly on Mr. Sun's side.
Mr. Sun put the package back on Zhou Zhi's table angrily: "Open it yourself, how do you look at it?"
After that, he began to appraise the things that his team had brought over.
The middle-aged man had no choice but to open the package: "Little brother, help me take a look."
Even the title has been downgraded.
Of course Zhou Zhi would not be angry with such a person. He just felt funny in his heart. He picked up the small porcelain vase on the table and looked at it, while chatting with the collector: "Do you know what this thing is called? ?”
“It’s a small vase, right?” The middle-aged man said: “My wife occasionally uses it to arrange flowers. My wife is an art teacher. She has many such bottles at home. I found it at the market because it looked good."
"Oh, your wife is very discerning." Zhou Zhi looked at the base of the porcelain again: "This is called a bile bottle. Look at the shape. It doesn’t look like a pig’s gall hanging with a string?”
The middle-aged man nodded: “But why is the color of this surface uneven?”
"This is called peacock blue glaze." Zhou Zhi played with the small bottle, which was only twelve centimeters tall, and held it in his hand again, feeling its weight: "Although peacock blue glaze developed earlier, it is in the middle After going through dynasties, production was restarted in the Kangxi period, and there were not many imitations in later generations. ”
< br>"A big reason is the glaze color." Zhou Zhi spread his hands and said: "This glaze color is a mixture of traditional green glaze and blue material rich in copper ions. In theory, it is a composite Color, unlike later chemical materials, this kind of composite color is very unstable during the firing process. This instability manifests itself in two ways, one is The color of the glaze is uneven. The second is that the color range is relatively large, ranging from green to blue. "
"This uneven expression has become the characteristic of genuine peacock blue glaze. , and it’s not easy to imitate, so this is an authentic product, judging from the rim features, the delicate glutinous rice tire on the sole, and the flint red color of the tire edge. , this is a fine piece of folk kiln from the Kangxi period, isn’t it? "Things in front of me." Zhou Zhi placed the vial on the table: "Qing Kangxi peacock blue glaze bell bottle, it is very beautiful and worth collecting."
"The price..."
"Because this is something from a private kiln, the price cannot be compared with that of an official kiln, but it is very well preserved and has very outstanding features. It has most of the characteristics of the era, so it can be regarded as It is a very valuable gadget, and the glaze color is special, so the price is higher than similar porcelain of the same period." Zhou Zhi said: "If I set the price, About a thousand, the market value should be higher. If you meet a special collector, it would not be surprising to double it."
"Thank you, teacher, thank you teacher!" The middle-aged man was extremely happy. The gadgets that my daughter-in-law bought for five yuan in the market were actually worth so much. Zhou Zhi once again raised his level from "little brother" to "teacher".
“Collect it well!” Zhou Zhi encouraged: “Your wife has a good taste. If there are similar utensils, she can use them for appraisal.”
“This type of monochrome Porcelain is the category that is most easily overlooked. There are some that should be cherished and worthy of collection, but we still need to distinguish them. ”
"Okay, okay," the middle-aged man nodded as he carefully wrapped the bottle: "I'll go back and tell my wife about it!"
The appraisal is off to a good start, what's next? It became smoother. Zhou Zhi has not come here to do this for a long time, so he explained in a very detailed and patient manner, unlike Lao Sun next to him, who said directly with a straight face: "New, not old, seeing the Republic of China..."
I just sent it to others with a few words, without explaining the reasons or characteristics. Gradually, everyone felt that although there were fewer people here, Zhou Zhi’s speech and behavior were more satisfactory. Go to More and more people are queuing here.
"Come and see this." Mr. Sun greeted from the side: "You are better at this."
Zhou Zhi turned around and saw a large unframed painting on the table in front of Mr. Sun: "Ah, Wei Zixi!"
This is a painting praising the frontier soldiers of New China. The top of the picture is a continuous waves, the lower right part of the screen is heavily ink A colorful stretch of islands and reefs. Near the reef are painted in royal blue several sisal plants that have been blown by the sea breeze for a long time and have been forced to change their growth direction. In the distance are several warriors, facing the rising sun. Erhu, one plays the accordion and the other plays the flute.
A soldier is facing the performer, with his back to the viewer, sitting on the rock, stroking his knees with his hands, turning his head to look at the coast that has been dyed red by the rays of light in the upper part of the painting, as if he is admiring the new life outside the screen. Morning sun.
Below the reef, there was a soldier running over with a smile on his face, half of his body already exposed. Seems to be in a hurry to attend this little concert.
The rays of light shone on the faces of the soldiers, making their smiles brighter and brighter.
"Good!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a painting!"
The whole painting is full of majestic dynamic vitality and high-spirited optimism. The signature of the picture is very simple and very simple. Modern "Painted by Wei Zixi in Nanjing in May 1973", there is also a seal below, "Zixi Painting Seal".
"Where did this painting come from?" Zhou Zhi asked: "This is Mr. Wei's masterpiece!"
"This painting is redundant, you are violating a taboo." Sun The old man shook his head: "I'm too happy. Why?" Why are you asking about other people’s origins?”
“Oh.” Zhou Zhi could only say honestly: “This is Mr. Wei’s original work, and it is one of his representative themes. It’s called "Sea". Rhyme"
"Of course, Mr. Wei has made many paintings with similar themes. This one is not the top one in "Hai Yun", but it is also very rare."
This is also a common problem among painters, and it doesn't just happen This has been the case in contemporary times, but since the Ming Dynasty.
The most terrifying thing is Li Keran's "Landscape of the Li River". There are hundreds of paintings of the same theme, and many of them even have the same composition. They are just copied by themselves, used to pass the endless stream of people. "Wholesale goods" from those who refused.
However, Wei Zixi's situation is much better in this regard. Although there are also works with repeated themes and types, basically every painting has changes and emphasis, and the details are completely different. These are related to the painter's personality. Output and attitude are all related. Of course, the biggest reason is that there are definitely not as many people asking for Wei Zixi's paintings as there are people asking for Li Keran's paintings, so they can be more relaxed and comfortable in creation.
Zhou Zhi himself was intoxicated by what he saw here, but unexpectedly the treasure holder opposite him said: "Teacher, can you introduce me to who Wei Zixi is?"
