While chatting with Kroll, when he was approaching the door of Nick's studio, a young man waved to Fang Yi: "Mr. Gray is looking for you!".
Fang Yi smiled at Kroll, waved his hand, walked a few steps faster, opened the studio door and walked in.
"Fang! Help me see which color is closer." Nick turned around and saw Fang Yi walking in. He immediately took the mixed color blocks in his hand and placed them on the workbench in front of the painting for comparison.
Fang Yi stood in front of the color block and took a look: "The color block on your left hand needs to be added with a little blue. Although the color is good now, it may change after some time!"
As if he was squatting like a Delacroix, Fang Yi naturally understood the chosen color at a glance and opened his mouth to speak.
Nick put down the paper in his hand, added a little blue to a color on the palette according to Fang Yi's instructions, adjusted it, and then put the painting on it for comparison: "The color is a bit dull!".
"Then the color just now looks pretty good!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and said, since you said yes, that's fine.
After saying that, Fang Yi changed into the big coat at the door and started to spank Nick. After changing clothes and putting on rubber gloves, after adjusting his mood, Fang Yi began to look at the original work in front of him attentively.
, the lower right corner of this work is obviously damaged, and it seems to have been repaired before. It may be that over time, the entire color is inconsistent with the well-preserved color above.
The two began to clean up the area that had been repaired by others. First, they wiped off the varnish on it, and then cleaned up the color. They worked for more than an hour before stopping to rest.
"Fang! Where were you just now?" Nick asked Fang Yi as soon as he stopped and sat on the workbench to take a breath.
"I just went out for a walk, who knew I might get a little unhappy!" Fang Yi opened his mouth and told Nick about his encounter with Popile.
Nick looked at Fang Yi and said: "Don't run around here, some people have very weird tempers! But you have already met the weirdest one!".
Fang Yi smiled and nodded and replied: "I have already learned the lesson!" After thinking about Popile's painting performance, Fang Yi added: "But his paintings are really good!".
"Henry is a genius!" Nick nodded and said, "I started learning painting at the age of thirty-five, and started holding solo exhibitions six years later!".
"Study painting at thirty-five?" Fang Yi asked curiously: "Why so late!".
Nick smiled at Fang Yi and asked, "Do you know what his previous occupation was?".
"Oil painting appraisal? It must be a related profession!" Fang Yi looked at Nick and smiled before adding the last half of the sentence.
"He was a financial analyst before he was thirty-five!" Nick looked at Fang Yi's surprised face and said with a smile: "And he was also a very successful financial analyst, with a wife and three children! He had a plan in New York
Mansion. Life was very comfortable! Once he was sick and lived in
In the hospital, the doctor asked him to stay away from stocks and other things while he was in the hospital. His ex-wife was afraid that he would be bored, so she got him an oil pastel and let him draw when he was bored! Who knew that he would draw after he was discharged from the hospital?
Instead of returning to the company, I decided to become an artist!".
Fang Yi listened and said casually: "I just came into contact with oil painting at the age of thirty-five, and six years later I can hold a solo exhibition! You are indeed very talented!".
"That's for sure. But after six years of no income, the family is completely destitute. The original house is gone and the car has become ordinary. He is immersed in his hobbies, but his wife can't stand this. She thinks
I married a promising young rich man, but who knew I would end up as a poor painter. The quality of my life began to decline rapidly!"
Having said this, Nick said to Fang Yi: "You have seen him and know what he looks like! When he was rich, his wife could tolerate it, but now that she has no money, this woman becomes restless and devotes herself to painting.
Henry doesn’t care about anything. This woman just got together with one of his former friends!”.
"Did he become so angry after discovering this?" Fang Yi thought for a moment and asked.
Nick shook his head: "No! Who knows what he was thinking at the time. I heard that he happily divorced his wife. He left his house and everything to that woman, and then left alone with only a painting box.
Back to Paris!".
Damn! Fang Yi sounded a little confused. Is this man actually happy after wearing a cuckold?
"What really made him irritable was not this, but what happened after returning to Paris. Although he quickly showed his talent, he was about to become the new darling of Paris galleries. Almost twenty years ago, his works
You can buy it for 200,000 US dollars! At this moment, I don’t know why I suddenly became angry. And I was facing people around me.
His friends and some sponsors got angry and yelled at them in front of the media, and this is what happened next! Now he has no friends and lives alone, and no one wants to deal with him anymore. The only
This is the source of his livelihood! With your visit today, he will probably have to lock the door for ten years in the future!"
Nick smiled at Fang Yi and continued: "This is probably the first time someone has entered his studio in more than ten years! He didn't allow anyone to enter that place before!"
"His temper is unbearable," Fang Yi said after thinking for a moment.
Nick laughed after listening to Fang Yi's words and said: "Not only is it unbearable, throughout the entire history of painting, I have never heard of an artist opening fire on his own gallery and sponsors indiscriminately! Whether it is a fiery prodigal son
Caravaggio or the eccentric Degas cannot be compared with Henry in terms of character. He is simply not human!".
With such a weird temper, it means that the master has no meaning anymore. The excitement of discovering the master at the beginning has long since disappeared in Fang Yi's heart.
Moreover, the great master Fang Yi has no interest in getting close to this person now. Why should he suffer from his arrogance if he eats this poor thing? Besides, I still have 5% of the master level here.
Are you going to hold the stinky feet in the trash can! Fang Yijue will stay as far away from this person as possible in the future! As for collecting some paintings and keeping them for appreciation, Fang Yi even threw this idea to Jiuxiao
Outside the clouds, go and have fun wherever you like!
After working on a painting with Nick for a day, Fang Yi returned to his residence and sat in front of his easel. The image of the big tree he saw appeared in front of his eyes. Although Henry was a shameless person, Fang Yi was not ashamed of his painting skills.
It’s indeed high! It can’t help but arouse Fang Yi’s fighting spirit!
Holding his chin, Fang Yi began to think carefully, and kept demonstrating the inferred sharp edges on the canvas in front of him. How did the old monster make it so wonderful? Some details were handled quite skillfully.
It is completely different from what I have learned and realized now!
"Dear! What are you thinking so absorbed in?" Beronica looked at Fang Yi and asked.
After hearing his girlfriend's words, Fang Yi raised his head: "I saw a man today. His works are great, but I don't know how he painted them!".
"Have you met this person?" Beronica looked at Fang Yi and nodded and said, "Then you will understand if you look at his paintings!".
Fang Yi stood up from his chair, walked to Beronika's side, put out his arms and hugged his girlfriend's waist: "If I could watch him draw me, I would still think about it!".
After saying that, his eyes turned to Beronica's canvas. On the canvas were still the images of Fang Yi and Beronica. The two people sat quietly, holding hands, with expressionless faces. What was very strange was that their faces
There are no eyes on the face. Although it is strange, you can see the progress of Beronica in terms of painting skills!
"Why do we always draw ourselves!" Fang Yi put his chin on his girlfriend's shoulder and said softly.
Beronica stretched out her hand and caressed Fang Yi's cheek: "Why can't I paint what I like! Now I am just interested in you and me being together, and expressing it on canvas makes me very happy!".
Fang Yi didn't dictate what his girlfriend liked to draw, just like how Beronica treated the annoying Guan Fangfei as a friend.
Of course, what Beronica showed is just a small thing. What is more important to Fang Yi is Henry? How does the trash can make the picture achieve that effect? This question will come from Fang Yi's mind when there is nothing wrong.
jumped out.
In the end, this issue became a bit confusing for Fang Yi.
"Fang! Wait a minute!" Professor Yifu stopped Fang Yi just after class.
"What's going on!" Fang Yi asked the professor as he watched his classmates leave the classroom.
"Why do you hardly go to art history?" Yves Sachner looked at Fang Yi and asked: "It seems that not only art history, except my class, you rarely appear in other classes."
Yves Sachny feels very strange about Fang Yi, a Chinese student. Of course, Fang Yi cannot be the first Chinese student in Gaozhuang. Now there is a Chinese girl studying in Sachny's training class. However, Fang Yi cannot be the first Chinese student in Gaozhuang.
This was the first time that Hene met a Chinese student like Fang Yi who skipped classes on a large scale. In his impression, Chinese students were always very diligent and never missed classes.
Fang Yi opened his mouth and said directly: "I don't like any art that is too modern, so are you interested in wasting my time?".
After hearing this, Professor Sahne said: "Perhaps you don't know that Gaozhuang has an evaluation test every year. Students who fail the test cannot continue to stay in school! If you miss so many classes, you will not get credits. If you really
If you like Professor Nick Gray’s class, you can take his credits!”
"Thank you! I will think about this matter again!" Fang Yi listened to Professor Sahne's words, thought for a while and said.
After hearing this, Professor Sahne patted Fang Yi on the shoulder: "Think about it carefully!".
