Fang Yi remembered something interesting. Now Fang Yi wants to complete a work by Rembrandt. Now only one-fifth of the work is left. And this work was neither destroyed by war nor destroyed.
It was destroyed by the hands of others, but by Rembrandt himself. It was the artist who created it who cut his own hard work into several pieces.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Rembrandt's situation at that time. Lao Lun had been very good and prosperous before. Now when mentioning Rembrandt, everyone thinks of his masterpiece "The Night Watch". It is from this masterpiece that
At the beginning, Rembrandt's reputation plummeted from that of a proud man. Gradually, the wealthy people at that time felt that Rembrandt had passed his peak period, and the things he painted were no longer attractive to the eyes.
In addition, Lao Lun's first wealthy wife also died of illness, and all her wife's money was left to her son. Comrade Lao Lun later got his son's nanny, and then he had a lover.
The church at that time could not tolerate it, and Comrade Lao Lun was naturally despised and criticized by everyone. Therefore, few people in Amsterdam at that time asked Lao Lun to paint. As a painter, no one paid for himself to paint. So,
Of course, life was not going well.
When the City Hall of Amsterdam was just built, Lao Lun's turning point came. Originally, those people did not think of Lao Lun and commissioned another artist to paint the new City Hall, but this unlucky guy hadn't painted it yet.
Then he hung up. At this time, someone asked Lao Lun to come. It was very difficult at first.
Many people disagreed and thought that Lao Lun's current style of painting was unsightly. The person who recommended it persuaded him, which meant that Lao Lun was so poor now that he was about to sell his kidneys because he would no longer mess around. Everyone heard this
I thought about it for a while. Who would offend the bread delivery person when I couldn’t even eat, so I chose Lao Lun to paint this work.
This piece of work is also very simple. Let Lao Lun draw the story of the founding of the Netherlands. That is, the former Batavians resisted the rule of the Romans and established the Netherlands. The leader at the time, Krentiss Felix, recruited
At that time, the leaders of various tribes in the Netherlands discussed together to rebel against the Roman Empire.
The Chinese don’t know this, but it would definitely be a well-known story in the Netherlands. Just like the work we saw on the founding ceremony of the People’s Republic of China, and that’s what the main hall of Amsterdam means, depicting the founders of the Netherlands.
The painting should be more elegant and the technique should be more classical. In short, the heroes of the founding of the country must be high-ranking. Such works can maintain the consistent correctness of the political direction.
Everyone thought that Lao Lun was so poor now that he could safely use his old skills to paint the heroes of the founding of the country, but they thought wrong! When Lao Lun delivered his completed work to the city hall, when everyone
When I opened the curtain on the canvas and took a look, I was shocked.
In the center of the canvas, the Dutch hero who founded the country, Krentis, is a one-eyed dragon with a colorful face. He is standing behind a broken table. And the people around the table also have ferocious faces. At first glance, they are not good people.
, gold on the screen
The bright light shines on the faces of these people, adding to the despicable and obscene feeling of the characters in the painting. Anyway, this work does not look like French British friends praising the Netherlands, but more like a group of bandits having a meeting, preparing to launch a riot.
A counter-revolutionary rebellion.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, the city hall gentlemen were probably immediately startled. After being startled, of course they became angry: We paid you to paint the founding of the Netherlands, not to ask you to stand on the Roman side.
From the standpoint of believing that this is a rebellion! Have the founding heroes of the entire Netherlands become these disgusting and vulgar traitors?
How could the Amsterdam city government approve such a work? It had not been hanging for long. It was estimated that the work was picked up within an hour at most, and then the officials sent Lao Lun to carry it home. As for paying? I don’t think so.
Don't even think about it. If you are not punished for counter-revolutionary crimes, you should be laughing.
Who accepted this painting? Let alone the past, just say it is now. Find someone to paint a painting of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and then paint the Taizu as a big man with his chest exposed and a sinister face, holding a butcher's knife in his hand.
Then he put a melon cap on his head, Taizu's comrades all looked fiercely, and then the founding Prime Minister
There is a big iron basin inside, and I don’t know whether it contains wine or blood, and he is making a blood oath. After completing this painting, you can send it to the local city government to have a look and ask them to allow you to hang it in the office building.
Go to the lobby and see what their reactions are. They will definitely not let you down!
If there is such a heartless person who wants to do this, friends who know something and have some brains would remind you to bring a cotton quilt in addition to the painting, because nine times out of ten, your friend will be sent directly to eat the country.
The country has gone to drink, and there are free prison guards standing guard outside the door. To be more realistic, it is still a question of how many days your friend can be covered with a quilt after entering. Maybe it won’t last until the New Year, and he will have nothing to fear anymore.
It's cold and it's hot.
Artists, especially great artists, always have a kind of paranoia in their minds, and Lao Lun is like this. It’s not that Lao Lun stands on the standpoint of the Romans, but that some so-called elegance emerged in the Netherlands at that time, and gradually the wealthy Netherlands
In the words of the 1980s, people began to pursue a petty bourgeoisie in their lives. To use a more fashionable word to describe it, they started to show off.
As this trend spreads, the entire Netherlands gradually loses its previous piety and simplicity. This work of Lao Lun wants to remind the Dutch people that we must maintain the roughness and tenacity of our ancestors. We are not Italy or France.
We are the Netherlands.
Lao Lun's shouting turned into playing the piano to an ox. After carrying the painting and returning home, Lao Lun discovered that there was no more food left at home. What should he do now? He had to raise the knife and drop it. Of course, he did not commit suicide. People raise the knife and drop it.
I divided this work into several pieces, hoping that someone would buy one of the pieces and exchange it for some rice to take home and live on, but unfortunately no one wanted such a work.
It was only after Comrade Lao Lun had his hair cut off that someone discovered this work at home. A hundred years later, many Western masters said they were influenced by Rembrandt. Only then did the Dutch discover the work of Comrade Lao Ren, who had been abandoned by Amsterdam.
Comrade Lun is so awesome that he was reintroduced into the museum as a source of pride for the Netherlands.
Now that Fang Yi has seen part of it, he will naturally have an overall image in his mind. However, it is impossible for Fang Yi to draw all the things and scenes the same as the original. If the remaining parts are pulled out from the nook and cranny, he will
How do you explain that some unrelated things are drawn by you and they look the same? You can have fun, but safety comes first!
Thinking this was interesting, Fang Yi turned off the TV and lay on the bed, fully clothed. He started to focus on the cut-out piece, thinking about how to change the remaining parts. The crazy style of brushstrokes was natural.
It needs to be completely preserved, and it's almost enough to put it in the scene.
Another point is that although this work is huge, the brushwork is wild and does not pursue realism that is as realistic as a photo. It can save a lot of time for Fang Yi now. This matter can be regarded as one of the things in his creative process.
It’s just something to entertain yourself. But unlike his fake Pissarro, Fang Yi is not going to avoid anyone with this work. You are welcome to take a look after it is finished!
Fang Yi closed his eyes and thought about the original work in his mind. Should there be a sentry guard here? Could the wooden poles on the wall be made rougher and with fewer poles? The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.
Yi became more and more excited, so he jumped up from the bed, walked to his bag, took out his sketchbook, and started writing a sketch in it.
"Yi! Are you going to have dinner together?" Fang Yi heard a knock on the door, walked over and opened the door to see Altur standing at the door.
Artur looked at the sketchbook in Fang Yi's hand, then took a glance at it and asked, "What are you going to do?" Artur, who had been to the museum, naturally knew what Fang Yi was drawing in his current sketchbook.
.
Seeing that there were things extending beyond the pictures he had seen, he asked again: "Do you want to complete this work?".
"Uh-huh!" Fang Yi nodded to Artur.
"You are really free." Artur shook his head after hearing this and continued, "Would you like to go out for dinner with me?". Complete Rembrandt? Artur thought Fang Yi was really bored today, so he took
He just started drawing in a sketchbook for fun. No matter how he thought about it, he never thought that Fang Yi would actually complete Rembrandt's works.
Fang Yi waved the sketchbook in his hand, took two steps towards the door and threw the notebook on the table. The two of them stood at Anders' door together.
He called Anders and Rude, and the four of them went to the restaurant to eat together. During the whole meal, Artur did not mention Fang Yi's completion of Rembrandt's painting, thinking that Fang Yi was joking, and Artur
He doesn't have a lively temperament like Anders. Fang Yi naturally didn't mention it, and was thinking about how to change it without losing the original roughness.
For the next two or three days, Fang Yi stayed in his room fiddling with the work of Rembrandt and never went to the exhibition hall again. After the entire exhibition in Los Angeles, Fang Yi also prepared
It was almost done, and I decided to start preparing to take up this matter after returning to Paris.
The original work is not small. This work is hung on the arch wall of the Amsterdam City Hall. It is several meters large. If such a large canvas is directly stretched, the entire living room will not be enough to place this painting. Even if it is a house.
There is enough space and the painting is done. If I want to transport it out of Fang Yi's current home, I'm afraid there is no other way except to break off the roof.
However, Fang Yi had an idea and divided it into several pieces to paint. Since the original work was also cut into pieces, it was fitting that he did this! (To be continued...)
