Chapter 43 Works by Famous Masters
After loading all the works into the car, Alex asked for Lin Yuan's address and phone number, saying that he would personally deliver the remaining paintings, and at the end he said some words of thanks to Lin Yuan.
"Here!" Lin Yuan took out two cans of soda from the refrigerator and handed them to Henry and Paul respectively.
Henry was not polite and moved the paintings back and forth. He was also a little thirsty. With a "pop" sound, he opened the zipper on the can and started drinking.
"Gulu" a few times, he finished the can of soda in one go.
He squeezed the empty can flat with force, made a standard shooting motion towards the trash can, and the empty can went in with a swishing sound, and one word came out of his mouth: "nice!"
This series of movements is smooth and smooth, done in one go.
Later, Henry realized that this was not his home, so he smiled awkwardly at Lin Yuan,
Lin Yuan told him not to care, because he would do this occasionally.
"Lin, can you let me see the painting you just collected?" Paul asked.
Just now when he was moving the painting, he seemed to see something accidentally.
Lin Yuan nodded: "Of course."
Paul quickly washed his hands and wiped them clean to prevent the sweat on his hands from getting on the painting when he looked at it.
Paul picked up the painting and looked at it carefully, but unfortunately he didn't find anything. He frowned and recalled the scene at that time. The painting seemed to be held vertically. Could it be because of the angle?
Then, Paul raised it up and looked, but couldn't see anything. Then he looked at it from several different angles, but still found nothing.
When Henry came out of the bathroom and saw this scene, he couldn't help asking Paul: "What are you doing?"
"Looking for something." Paul stared at the painting.
"Looking for something? Looking for something?"
"I don't know, but I feel like there's something hidden in this painting."
"If you don't know what you're looking for, then you're looking for nothing! Why are you looking for something for nothing!..."
The next moment, Henry suddenly shouted: "Don't move, I seem to see what you are looking for."
This face is a bit fast!
Paul asked anxiously: "What is it?"
"It seems like...Hey! Don't move, it will change if you move." For a while, Henry was not sure what it was.
Paul was so frightened by these words that he quickly maintained his position.
Henry looked and gestured with his hands, and then said after a while: "It's a name."
"What name?"
"Jackson Pollock." Henry frowned slightly, feeling that the name was a bit familiar.
He couldn't help but check it on his mobile phone.
When he saw the information inside, he immediately exclaimed: "It turns out to be him, I said he looks so familiar!"
Seeing Henry's surprise, Paul couldn't help asking: "Who is it?"
Henry looked at him with contempt: "I asked you to study more, and you slept in class. Haven't you heard of Jackson Pollock? Our famous American painter is recognized as one of the masters of abstract expressionism painting. He is known in the international art world as promoting American modernity. A leader in painting away from traditional European standards."
Throughout his life, Pollock was both famous and controversial, considered a largely reclusive painter with an erratic personality and a severe alcohol problem.
It is said that his creations did not start with a sketch, but only completed the work through a series of improvised actions. He dipped a stick or brush tip into a jar of usually enamel and aluminum paint, then dripped or swung the color onto a canvas nailed to the ground, working from all sides of the canvas based on intuition and experience.
Paul shrugged and spread his hands: "Isn't it embarrassing that you haven't heard of it? There are so many people who haven't heard of it."
When fans in Lin Yuan's live broadcast room heard this name and searched for this person's information, they immediately went crazy. Such a badass painter, how much are his paintings worth?
Someone immediately pointed out the value of Jackson Pollock's works. In 2006, his work "1948 No. 5" sold for a sky-high price of US$140 million.
If this was really the authentic work of Jackson Pollock, they guessed it was not 100 million but tens of millions, right?
Only Lin Yuan knew that it was not so exaggerated. The treasure hunter showed red light, indicating that the true value of this painting was between one million and ten million.
Elsewhere, Alex returns home with excitement.
Alex saw his elderly father pruning flowers and plants in the yard. He hurriedly stepped forward to take over and let his father rest.
Alex's father asked in surprise: "Aren't you holding an art exhibition today? Why did you come back so early?"
Did something unexpected happen?
He looked at his son, worried.
"They're all sold out, so come back early." Alex smiled proudly.
His father’s eyes widened: “Sold out?”
If he had known that holding an art exhibition would have such an effect, he should have done it for his son, and he would not hesitate to borrow money!
While pruning flowers and plants, Alex told his father about today's experience, emphasizing that he had met a noble man and that only the Chinese could appreciate his paintings. He also told his father that he planned to go to China for development.
After hearing this, his father was stunned for a long time.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After coming to his senses, he supported his son on the spot to go to China.
He shouted into the house to tell his wife the exciting news.
An old lady with limited mobility came out of the house, holding a little girl in her hands. The little girl is Alex's daughter, who is in junior high school and lives with her mother.
"Hailey, come to see your grandpa and grandma?" Alex felt a little embarrassed when he saw his daughter.
He had relatively little communication with his daughter, mainly because he was unable to raise her. Therefore, when they were divorced, her daughter followed her mother and had little contact with him. She would feel somewhat uncomfortable when they met.
Hailey rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Alex's father told his wife about his son's lucky day.
The old lady also hugged her son excitedly and kept saying "mygod!".
Hailey was surprised and looked at his father with admiration. In her mind, her father was a loser, so she rarely mentioned her father to her classmates at school.
Who doesn't want to have a great father?
Nowadays, things seem to be turning around for my father. Not only can he make money from painting, he can also go to China to develop and may become a famous painter in the future.
It seems pretty cool to have a father like this.
"Okay, get ready, get ready, we have to celebrate." Alex's father said.
This time, the old lady's legs and feet were no longer inconvenient and she became very agile.
Back inside, Alex told his parents about his plan. He would keep most of the money from selling the paintings so that his parents could eat and drink when they should.
In addition, a portion will be left to daughter Hailey.
People have said that after he goes to China, his basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation will be taken care of for him, so he doesn't have to spend too much money after he goes to China.
After telling him his plan, Alex packed up the other works at home, called a car, and headed to Chinatown.
As soon as he walked away, his parents followed the neighbors with their back legs.
