Mr. Ma's words did not speak highly of Chen Ran. For a moment, everyone present was dumbfounded. Their eyes also focused on Chen Ran, looking at Chen Ran up and down with a hint of doubt.
It seems that he wants to see what is different about the young man in front of him, so that Mr. Ma has such a high evaluation...
You must know that Mr. Ma does not praise others easily, and now he is no longer simply praising the young man in front of him, but directly raising him to the same level as Mr. Ma.
He is polite and ordinary... There seems to be nothing special about him. If there is anything special about him, it is that his eyes are very bright, or very energetic. People can notice his eyes at a glance.
, rather than other places, such as the clothes on the body, etc.
Apart from this place, there seemed to be nothing special about him. They really couldn't figure out how Mr. Ma could treat him so differently. In terms of knowledge and ability, where could he go at such a young age?
On the other side, Chen Ran also helped Mr. Ma unfold the ancient painting and carefully and carefully laid it on the front of the off-road vehicle. Guo Hai also got out of the car and helped hold it down to avoid being caught.
The wind blows.
After unfolding the ancient painting, everyone present also gathered around.
Only then did Chen Ran see the true face of Mount Lu in this ancient painting. It was a simple picture of a cold mountain. In addition to the secluded paths in the cold mountain, there was an old man and a young man playing in the forest like naughty children...
This ancient painting did not leave any mark, which is also called inscription, style title, or self-recognition. It originally refers to the words engraved on the ancient bells, tripods, and Yi vessels, and later generally refers to the titles left by the painter on the calligraphy and painting works.
Early calligraphy and painting works before the Sui and Tang Dynasties generally did not leave the artist's signature. The few paintings and calligraphy works that did have the signature only had some small words written on tree roots and rocks and other inconspicuous places.
Someone who is good at painting does not necessarily need to be good at calligraphy. Some painters with low calligraphy skills often write inscriptions on the back of the scroll because they don't want their shameful handwriting to ruin their painting signature.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, literati painters began to write inscriptions on the paintings. The inscriptions also changed from just writing the artist's name, and the creative time expanded to include inscribing poems, stating the recipient of the gift, etc. The inscriptions could be as long as more than a hundred words.
By the Ming and Qing dynasties, the works of literati painters must have style, and style has become an indispensable and important component of Chinese painting.
Of course, it does not necessarily mean that you have a sense of style. For example, some painters in history have a bad reputation, and it is not uncommon for them not to leave a mark. Sometimes, it is just a practice of brushwork, that is, the painting is painted.
After that, the painter was not satisfied. He would not leave any mark on the painting that satisfied him until he was satisfied with it. Those paintings that he was not satisfied with became his practice works.
These unsatisfactory paintings are just practice works for the artist himself, but in this day and age, they are definitely masterpieces.
"Mr. Ma, look at the material and shape of this painting scroll, as well as the painting style, the material of the painting paper, the brush and ink techniques, and the charm. Although the painting style and the brush and ink techniques are somewhat similar to those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties,
Style, but it’s just imitation, it’s clearly a fabrication!”
While Mr. Ma was watching with a magnifying glass, Liu Lei pointed at the ancient paintings and explained to Mr. Ma and everyone.
The style of calligraphy and painting works is undoubtedly a basic method for identifying fake calligraphy and painting. The formation of style characteristics is related to specific calligraphy and painting methods, tools and materials, ideological culture, artistic pursuits, etc. It is mainly manifested in pen and ink techniques, images and fonts, composition and composition.
, charm and atmosphere, etc. The specific identification can start from the common characteristics of the times and the personality of the author.
Pen and ink are the most basic form of expression of Chinese calligraphy and painting art, and therefore are also the primary basis for identifying authenticity.
The technique of pen and ink has experienced a process of continuous development in history. Although it has endless changes such as thick, thin, square, round, dry, wet, thick, light, etc., it always forms some basic characteristics in each era.
.
In addition to the style of calligraphy and painting, the content of calligraphy and painting is also a basic method to identify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting. Any calligraphy and painting works are the artistic creations of calligraphers and painters in a specific historical period, and therefore always reflect some historical and authorial characteristics.
fact.
In addition, the author's inscriptions, seals, as well as paper, silk and other calligraphy and painting materials are also important basis for identifying calligraphy and painting. These things, generally speaking, are different in each era, which has become the current method of identifying calligraphy and painting.
basis.
After hearing what Liu Lei said, everyone nodded in agreement. Although they didn't know much, Liu Lei's explanation didn't mean they couldn't understand. After nodding, they all looked towards Chen Ran, secretly thinking that this young man
I'm afraid I was trying to pick up some leaks and thought it was genuine, but I just didn't know the truth and didn't think about how a fabricated product that had been identified by five experts could be genuine.
Being looked at by everyone like this, Chen Ran was calm and composed, and Mr. Ma didn't pay attention to Liu Lei. He just bent down and looked at him carefully. After looking at him for a long time, he stood up and let out a long breath.
.
After exhaling, he motioned to Guo Hai to put the painting away, then turned around and patted Chen Ran heavily on the shoulder.
With this action, everyone thought that the old man was just trying to comfort Chen Ran, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts. The old man had lifted the young man up so high just now, and now this happened suddenly. Now the old man may be somewhat unable to get off the stage.
.
"Mr. Ma, don't take it too seriously. Most of the people who collect now come here with the intention of picking up leaks. It's understandable to want to pick up leaks, but most people are a little blind...especially after entering this field in these years.
There are more and more young people in the group. In order to pick up a leak once, they even go to the extent of punching their eyes ten times to pick up a leak just for the sake of excitement..."
What Liu Lei said is true. Of course, these people cannot be regarded as people in the collecting circle, they are just some arty young masters, or playing for a heartbeat.
"Wait..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Ma's wave: "Don't pay too much attention to what, what do I care about?"
Just when everyone thought that Mr. Ma couldn't get off the stage, they heard Mr. Ma suddenly say angrily: "You know why I said, if it had been someone else and you five experts had seen it, I would have believed it."
, but there is one person who is an exception. Is this exception Xiao Chen?"
Mr. Ma suddenly said such a sentence, which made everyone stunned. Who knows what's going on with you?
"It's a good thing that you two claim to be experts, how come you haven't even heard of some recent rumors in the industry!" Mr. Ma's eyes widened, he glared at Wang Zhiqing and lectured: "Don't you like collecting ancient jades? Why don't you even know about the recent jade articles?
I have never heard of the famous dragon and phoenix jade in the industry, but now the dragon and phoenix jade is standing in front of you, and you can’t even recognize it!"
After teaching Wang Zhiqing a lesson, Mr. Ma did not let Liu Lei go. He pointed at Liu Lei and said, "And you, you still claim to be a ceramics expert. Oh, I almost forgot, the ceramics held by Old Man Bai two days ago.
Zhan, I also met you. I saw how envious you were at that time, but now you see the person who transferred the porcelain sole to Old Man Bai. You don’t recognize him, and you don’t know either of you.
What is it for?"
Mr. Ma suddenly lost his temper and started lecturing Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei. Everyone present was dumbfounded for a moment. Not to mention Wang Zhiqing and the others, even Guo Hai and Chen Ran were also dumbfounded.
Wang Zhiqing reacted quickly. After being stunned, he looked at Chen Ran and asked in surprise: "Brother Chen, are you the champion of this jade carving competition?"
After asking, he suddenly remembered that until now, he still didn't know Chen Ran's full name. He only knew that Chen Ran's surname was Chen...
