Chapter two hundred and fifty-five long ugly flowers
After encountering problematic calligraphy and paintings one after another, Chen Wenzhe realized that something was wrong.
This situation is the same as last night.
Mu Xiaolong showed up yesterday, but no one showed up today, but the routine is the same.
This time, they identified his weakness and used calligraphy and painting to deal with him, each one more difficult to read than the last.
It seems that what he caught last night was only small fish and shrimps, otherwise, these guys wouldn't still be chasing him.
This time, the young man was more interesting. He really left this picture of a lady for fifty yuan.
Although it is not Zhou Fang's "Lady with Hairpin Flowers", it is always copied from two of them.
Originally, "Lady with Hairpin Flowers" had no background, but the two ladies in the center were copied, so the painting looks pretty good.
Li Jinli knows how to paint, and when he saw this work, he could only marvel.
Especially when he saw the pictures of the original work on his mobile phone, he was even more amazed.
He originally thought that he had a certain level of appraisal of calligraphy and painting, but now, he was directly hit by this painting, and his confidence was completely destroyed.
"Doesn't this feel good? In fact, there are even worse ones!"
Before Chen Wenzhe finished speaking, another person walked in, this time it was an old man.
The old man walked in slowly with a scroll under his arm.
"How many bosses charge high prices for calligraphy and painting?"
Looking at the old man in Mao suit, Chen Wenzhe's heart was full of vigilance.
"Take it!" Chen Wenzhe still didn't believe it. How could they still play tricks?
After opening the scroll, Chen Wenzhe was a little dumbfounded when he saw it. He really had a trick.
Rely on the poisonous toad to make fun of the frog, and it's easy to make fun of it!
No, look at the wrinkles on the old man's face, it should be a toad playing tricks on a frog, and the ugly appearance is just a trick!
I didn't dare to look at the old man's appearance, lest I feel disgusted.
Chen Wenzhe calmed down and looked at the painting carefully. This time he was learning something.
Originally, Chen Wenzhe thought that these fakers would definitely copy some famous works.
But this time, it was obviously different.
Let's first look at the author, Li Keran, a celebrity and a disciple of the modern painter Qi Baishi. The reason for imitating his calligraphy and paintings is that the price is high.
Looking at the painting again, the first thing is the sixteen characters: Dan means morning clouds, dusk means rain, morning means morning and evening means under the balcony.
This is a picture of clouds and rain in Wushan. Chen Wenzhe really doesn’t know which famous artist in the past has painted clouds and rain in Wushan.
He did know that Li Keran was good at painting landscapes, but he was more famous for painting cows!
With a little caution and a clear goal, Chen Wenzhe soon knew that this was a fabrication, or something put together.
The main landscape is imitated by Li Keran's "Scenic Scenery of the Li River", and then a lot of clouds and fog were added to cover up part of the landscape in "Scenic Scenery of the Li River".
This is no longer a simple copy, but a part of innovation.
Looking carefully at this painting, except for the fine brushwork, there is nothing wrong with it, especially the color.
Needless to say, this is a high-end reproduction.
High-end replicas are not ordinary printed matter. The rice paper must be exactly the same, or of the same year, or at least of the same age.
Next is color correction, at least three or four times. This process is very complicated, with more than 20 steps in total.
After that, there is color matching, proofing, color matching, and constant comparison.
Next, we need to write the chapter and some words, avoid what should be avoided, and leave what should be left.
Copying can only be done after adjustments are made, because the seal needs to be engraved separately. The seal is oily and cannot be printed. Avoid the unprintable parts and further proofread and make a sample.
In order to achieve the most realistic one-to-one scale and one-to-one authenticity, we have to go back and forth ten times, maybe twenty times.
The last step is to engrave the seal. The seal cannot be printed, so it must be carved and stamped with real Indonesian stamps, so that it will have that real texture.
Ink painting is a water-based material, while seal ink pad is an oil-based material with different textures, so it naturally needs to be copied perfectly.
Once the seal is stamped, it's done. Most people can't see the traces of reproduction on such a work.
"Although the quality of high-end reproductions is very good, you can copy as many copies as you want. So if you want to sell it, I can only give you three hundred. This one is made with better craftsmanship than the previous one."
, it takes a lot of trouble, but it’s worth the price.”
After hearing Chen Wenzhe's words, the old man's expression changed.
"What did the young man say?"
"The old man knows very well that this means that the copy is good. Otherwise, what is the difference between this kind of thing and the spray-painted work?"
"Tell me, my old man won't let me tell you if I can't be tall and ugly!"
The old man's face became elongated, and he assumed a reluctance posture.
Chen Wenzhe was stunned, wasn't everything good before?
Where has the tacit understanding gone? Didn’t we agree that there would be a literary fight instead of a physical fight?
Why doesn't this old man act according to common sense? Is he just planning to get into trouble?
"Let's talk about it. Whose name do you think it's not good to write? If you have to write Li Keran, who is he? Is Mr. Qi Baishi's apprentice aware of the difference between Mr. Qi Baishi's seal?"
"What else is different about the seal?"
"Haha!" Chen Wenzhe didn't even want to say anything. He didn't even know the biggest opponent of fraud. He wanted to popularize it to them?
No, I definitely can't tell them.
Mr. Qi Baishi's seal has its own anti-counterfeiting mark, and the ink he uses is also extraordinary.
If you are not a professional, you will definitely not understand or know this.
Anyway, the only thing is that his seal is very special when it is printed. It has many special features that ordinary people cannot imitate. Even if they imitate, they cannot imitate various textures.
Professionals who are not professionals who specialize in Qi Baishi's paintings simply don't know or understand this point.
Chen Wenzhe is a professional, so he naturally knows it very well.
He knew that when some painters were carving their own seals, they would knock them a few times to create some cracks after they were finished.
These cracks are often unique and difficult for others to imitate.
As a disciple of Qi Baishi, Li Keran did not deliberately prevent counterfeiting, but his seal was not so easy to copy.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about sealing ink. As a disciple of Qi Baishi, can I use ordinary sealing ink?
Anyone in the industry knows that the ink used by Qi Baishi even contains various gemstone fragments. Can you believe it?
Of course, Li Keran is different from Qi Baishi, but after all, he is also a master of the generation. Although the printing ink is not as good as the teacher, some people still send some high-grade printing ink, which is also a major focus of falsification.
"That's all I have to say. The biggest failure of your painting is the seal. The level of other imitations is very high, which can be regarded as careful."
"Young man, don't be so confident. Since you are not sure, just admit it and change it."
As he spoke, the old man was very miraculous and took out another scroll from his sleeve.
