"Brother Qing, this is really Zhang Daqian's painting!" Lin Haitao said with surprise when he saw the painting clearly.
He Qing nodded solemnly and said: "Indeed, this is Zhang Daqian's "Ink Lotus Picture"!" He never expected that his ancestor would send someone to send him Zhang Daqian's painting. He just asked him about it.
, and didn’t mean anything else. Unexpectedly, the other party took it seriously and prepared a big surprise for him.
This was naturally a surprise for He Qing, because before this he was still worrying about preparing a birthday gift for Mr. Zheng. Although he learned from his ancestor that he loved collecting Zhang Daqian's works, he had no clue.
He was asked to buy it somewhere, and at this critical juncture, the Patriarch sent him good news and prepared a ready-made Zhang Daqian painting for him.
Apart from being surprised and overjoyed, He Qing felt a little bit regretful. He only gave the other person a small bottle of Li Mo, but he didn't expect that the other party would give such a big gift. As we all know, Zhang Daqian's paintings are very valuable, even a simple one.
It must be worth a lot of money, and the vertical scroll painting in front of you is relatively large, about one and a half meters long and nearly one meter wide. Plus the ink used in the calligraphy and painting, it can be seen that it is by no means an ordinary painting.
Imagine how much energy Zhang Daqian spent on painting this painting.
"Hey brother, this painting "Ink Lotus" by Zhang Daqian was specially asked by the Grand Master to bring it to you. Please accept it." The young man who sent the painting said with a smile.
He Qing said excitedly: "This painting is too valuable. How can I have the nerve to accept such a precious painting?!"
He felt vaguely uneasy. It felt like he was flattered. His master just gave him a very expensive painting, and he seemed to be ashamed of it.
But that man shook his head and said solemnly: "Brother He, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Master Taihua has made it very clear. You must accept the things. You will find them useful."
"I" For a moment, He Qing was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that his ancestor would be so doting on him and that he would paint a painting by Zhang Daqian.
"Then I have to go to Xiehua right away!" After a pause, He Qing continued.
The man said: "He said you're welcome. He's now on a plane to Hangzhou. He has a very important matter to deal with there at the moment. He'll probably be back in three days. But he left it for you."
I also asked me to bring a note and give it to you. Brother He, here it is."
As he spoke, he handed a letter he took out from his arms to He Qing. He Qing stretched out his hands to take it, opened the envelope carefully, took out the letter paper and read it carefully. He saw that it read:
"Xiao He, I just exchanged that painting "Ink Lotus Picture" from a friend. Your master used to like that painting very much, but others were unwilling to give it to him, so he always felt very sorry. Now I want to find a way
I got it for him. You can give it to him. If he can receive this gift on his birthday, he will definitely be very happy..." What is written on the paper is calligraphy, and the handwriting is vigorous and powerful.
Every word is so beautiful and full of artistic flavor.
After reading the relatively brief letter, He Qing was deeply moved. The founder had really good intentions. I don't know what he paid for Zhang Daqian's "Mo He Tu". It must be a good thing.
Otherwise, others will not do this transaction.
"Hey brother, I have sent the paintings and letters to you, so I will go back now." Later, the man said goodbye and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. I would like to invite you if I have the opportunity in the future."
Let’s have a meal and let’s sit together and have a good chat.”
He Qing nodded quickly and agreed: "Well, okay, it's just my treat. Uncle, thank you!" "You're welcome, we are all family members, don't see outsiders." The man congratulated him enthusiastically.
Qing shook hands, then said goodbye and turned to leave "Jianbaozhai"
After the uncle walked out, He Qing and Lin Haitao continued to admire Zhang Daqian's "Ink Lotus Picture". He Qing had no research on calligraphy and painting, and could only "click to the end." However, Uncle Long beside him was an out-and-out master in this regard.
great expert.
"Uncle Long, the painting our master specially gave to Brother Qing should be Zhang Daqian's original work, right?" Lin Haitao suddenly asked Uncle Long.
Uncle Long nodded and said: "Yes, it is undoubtedly authentic! Can there be any mistakes in what the ancestor sent me? This work is wonderful! Zhang Daqian is a great wonder in the world of calligraphy and painting. He can be said to be the richest man in the history of modern Chinese painting.
A master with legendary experience, he is called the "Van Gogh of the East!"
"Everyone knows that Zhang Daqian, who was once a commoner, experienced a lot of luxury in his life. He wandered around the world and eventually became famous. When he was young, he and his second brother Zhang Shan were known as "Sichuan Heroes". When he was young, he and the nobles Pu Xinshe
In his later years, together with Pu Xinshe and Huang Junbi, he was also known as the "Three Heroes of Crossing the Sea" in Taiwan. Over the years, people also regarded him and Qi Baishi as the "Southern Zhang and Northern Qi".
The most impressive thing is Xu Beihong’s admiration: “One thousand in five hundred years!… One can only imagine how influential he is in the writing world! In fact, this can be seen from the auction records of his handed down works.
Many of them have sold for tens of millions, and many have sold for hundreds of millions. One of his traditional Chinese paintings called "Splash Color Landscape" was sold for 250 million, truly achieving a feat that is almost unattainable for other traditional Chinese painting masters.
Sky-high price!" It seemed that Uncle Long knew Zhang Daqian very well. He asked about the situation of this traditional Chinese painting master. After hearing this, He Qing's face couldn't help but change. He knew that Zhang Daqian's paintings were very expensive. Hundreds of millions was not an empty talk, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive.
Outrageous, it’s actually more valuable than the Yuan Qing huā jar!
"Oh, I found it! Brother Qing, take a look!" At this moment, Lin Haitao handed his widescreen mobile phone to He Qing and asked him to see a set of data he had just found.
He Qing was surprised and asked: "What is this?"
Lin Haitao said with excitement: "Take a look at the transaction records of Zhang Daqian's paintings in major auction companies, aren't they scary?! This column all has eight-digit sales, and there are several in the upper digits. This is not complete.
Statistically speaking, if you count all the auction records, there will be many! Zhang Daqian is indeed the most valuable painter in history! The auction price of a foreign Van Gogh painting may be comparable to his, but the total sum of them is far more than
I can’t fuck him anymore!”
"Yes! It's amazing!" He Qing exclaimed, "I don't know how much the "Mo He Tu" sent by my master is worth. If it is worth so much, then I would be embarrassed to accept it!
I didn't give him anything!" Lin Haitao shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, you have already given him something very important, that is, those two bottles of Li Mo. It is not difficult to get Zhang Daqian's paintings in the market.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough money, but Li Mo is different, it is almost extinct. If you want to get a small bottle of Li Mo to paint, it is like a dream! There is an auction for lotus leaf paintings.
The price seems to be more than 30 million, but it is an album, 24 pages, with several works on the theme of lotuses in different colors. It may be a little more complicated and richer than this, but no matter what, this painting
The paintings must be very valuable, it shouldn’t be a problem to buy a few for several million!”
"This lotus flower picture is a subject that Zhang Daqian often paints, and it is also the type of painting that Zhang Daqian has made outstanding achievements in. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the picture are extraordinary and full of ink." Uncle Long explained, "After opening this ink lotus picture, from the painting
The Japanese socks are from the Republic of China period, and I feel very good about them. The whole work has a natural charm, and the painting style is very vigorous and impressive: the calligraphy style of the poems and inscriptions has the Daqian style of the mature period:
The color and seal style of the seal are in line with Zhang Daqian's characteristics in the 1970s. So, Xiaohe, this is a very rare and exquisite painting with the theme of lotus flowers in ancient and modern times. Its value is difficult to estimate!" "Well, I know.
"He Qing nodded. As for the value of this painting, he didn't really care. He just asked casually. What he was afraid of was that the founder spent too much money to accept this painting for himself. In this way, he
I will really feel sorry for myself.
After discussing Zhang Daqian's "Ink Lotus Picture" with Lin Haitao and Uncle Long for a while, He Qing stored the painting in the vault of "Jianbaozhai", where it would be safer for the time being.
"Brother Qing, why did Master suddenly think of giving you such a painting? Do you like Zhang Daqian's works?" Lin Haitao asked afterward.
He Qing replied: "It's not that I like to collect Zhang Daqian, but your grandpa does." Then he told Lin Haitao the origin of the painting in detail. Lin Haitao was shocked and said: "That's it!
You are really attentive! I don’t know how happy my grandpa would be if he knew that this painting was the painting he had always dreamed of!"
He Qing said solemnly: "It's his birthday in two days. As an apprentice, I naturally have to carefully prepare a gift for him!"
"That's right!" Lin Haitao said with a smile, "Brother Qing, you haven't bowed to my grandpa as a disciple yet, have you? In fact, he has long regarded you as a closed disciple! If you don't worship, you are still his disciple!" "But!
This is necessary!" He Qing said, "I plan to worship him as my teacher on his birthday!" "That's great!" Lin Haitao said in surprise, "That's a double blessing for him!" He Qing said: "
I don’t know too much, so I have to learn it hard, otherwise I won’t be able to keep up with others.”
"Brother Qing, you are too humble!" Lin Haitao shook his head and said, "You have such good eyesight, and you still say that, then I am going to hit a wall?!"
The two of them were talking and laughing, and I don’t know how long it had passed before two figures suddenly appeared at the door of "Jianbaozhai", a man and a woman, an old man and a young man.
He Qing recognized the two people at a glance. They were none other than Mr. Pan, who appraised his Warring States bronze tripod not long ago, and his student, the bespectacled beauty Che Juan.
