As for the cuteness in Keshima's mouth, Fang Yi didn't see it at all. There was nothing cute about a divorced woman in her early thirties who had a serious face and was wearing professional attire. She couldn't tell that she was just Keshima.
Fang Yi doesn't even think it's appropriate to use the word "cute" to describe Liu Yu.
Fang Yi didn't have much interest in the matter of Keshima sending the painting. The painting was painted by Keshma. As for who to send it to, Fang Yi had to make irresponsible remarks. But the hidden meaning behind the action of sending the painting was Fang Yi's.
There are signs of interest.
"Have you noticed that Miss Liu is doing her job very conscientiously..." Keshima then gave some small examples from the past two or three days.
How fresh, she is the one who does translation work for you! Fang Yi thought in his heart, but did not say it out loud. After chatting for a few minutes, Fang Yi left the hotel and drove home.
Later, Keshima didn't say what he wanted to do, so Fang Yi suppressed his little interest. People will always be impulsive, not to mention that Keshima is still an artist, so he would just give it away when he was impulsive.
It is normal to create a piece of work. As long as it is not illegal,
The law doesn't say that people can't be impulsive! As for whether this impulse can push two people onto the bed to have a pure sexual exchange that doesn't involve their souls, Fang Yi can't control it.
The thing is, everyone is an adult and knows what to do.
Fang Yi suppressed the small interest in his heart. It's not that he didn't care at all, but he slowly began to pay attention to the small actions between Liu Yu and Keshima. After observing it for two or three days, nothing happened.
What did I find? But my impression of Liu Yu was
Better, as Keshima said, he works hard. What Fang Yi appreciates even more is that when communicating with the four foreigners in Keshima, they are also reasonable and well-founded, and stay on a certain line. This
At this point, Fang Yi couldn't help but take a high look at Liu Yu.
Naturally, the next step is to give lectures on stone art.
Fang Yi and the five of them also played for two or three days. On Monday, Zhou Tong picked up the five of them to Shiyi. Naturally, there was no need for classes on the morning of the first day. Instead, the principal accompanied the five linearist masters on the tour.
After getting off campus, there was another welcome party at noon. This kind of thing lasted all day long.
The real exchange officially started on the morning of the next day.
The first class was a lecture. It was held in the auditorium of Stone Art. The speaker was Anders. He briefly told the students sitting in the dark below about the main schools of European oil painting and the works of some representative figures.
Of course, the main thing is to talk about the entire process of linearism from its formation to its development. As a direct participant, Anders naturally knows everything about it. He stood on the big podium and talked about it, and he didn't read any manuscripts at all.
He who comes in opens his mouth and comes out.
"Why does Anders have so many things to say?" Artur, who was sitting next to Fang Yi, said in a low voice: "You can't even run for politics with such eloquence."
It was also the first time that Fang Yi had the honor to see Anders talk. He had never had such an opportunity before. Now he was watching Anders on the stage, talking to thousands of people.
Hengfei, like Artur in his heart, secretly sighed: This party is not in vain. Look, there are also some interesting things interspersed from time to time. Lian Fang Yihe
The story of how Keshma and Rude met was very interesting. As one of the people who witnessed it, Fang Yi couldn’t find anything interesting when the three of them met. It was just that they were together.
It was just a line drawing. But when Anders told this story, it created a story about three young artists who knew each other.
For a whole hour and a half, Anders was the only one who was frothing. Fang Yi and the other four could only admire and clap their hands with everyone from time to time.
After the speech, Fang Yi and Keshma stood on the stage, waiting for the students below to ask questions. Now there were students in the auditorium not only from the School of Fine Arts but also from the School of Design, and even students from other schools who came to join in the fun.
The first student to ask a question was Fang Yi, and the question was quite pointed, pointing directly at the harsh criticism of the works of some domestic young and middle-aged artists by European art critics a short time ago.
"Brother Fang Yi, what do you think of this turmoil? What do many European and American artists think of some works during the ten years of turmoil? They think they are evil works!" A student picked up the microphone from the teacher in the aisle and spoke directly to it.
Fang Yi asked, standing on the stage.
Fang Yi walked to the front of the podium, looked at the student who asked the question and sat down, and then opened his mouth and said: "This question is really difficult to answer, because if I want to say that I agree with the European and American art critics, someone will say something to me in the media tomorrow.
Special approval in large numbers! I may have thought of things like being evil and flirting with foreigners, which are all trivial. Maybe even the label of being a traitor was slapped on my forehead.”
Hearing what Fang Yi said, some of the students below let out knowing chuckles.
But Fang Yi changed the topic and said directly: "I mostly agree with these critics, that is, some artists' works are evil!". Fang Yi's current spirit has been criticized by many people, and it involves the artistic point of view.
How could Fang Yi compromise?
"Mainstream society has reached a consensus on the turmoil. It was a human disaster. It was an unprecedented disaster in history. Students tied up teachers and were escorted to the criticism field. Fathers and sons drew lines between husbands and wives.
, reported each other, the whole country was in turmoil, and many scientists, educators and artists were persecuted. I don’t know what there is in that period of history that these artists should remember. You show your nostalgia for this period in your works
Even yearning. If your works are not evil, who is evil?"
"Art is not something without a bottom line, and artists are not without a bottom line! I think the bottom line is that you cannot praise evil and bury human nature!" Fang Yi said directly to the students below: "Your works can be styled, or you can be lonely and unruly.
Be rebellious, but don’t express these things, because that is not art, but an anti-human propaganda poster!”.
Fang Yi paused and said: "I'm not saying that you can't express works from that period. If you want to express it, there's nothing wrong with it. Just like several domestic artists, there's nothing wrong with expressing it with a kind of reflection.
.But if you want to take advantage of European and American people’s opinions on this
I am curious about a period of history that I don’t understand. Paint a radiant avatar to push up the price of your painting? I can only say haha, because your work is not worth a penny! You might as well just sell the canvas, then
It’s still worth some money! If you get the basics, you can get even higher.”
Fang Yi said this very rudely, and secretly included several middle-aged artists who are currently in the limelight in China. The average work of some people directly costs ** million. In this way, the prices continue to rise.
in a brisk trot.
"Do you think their works are worthless?" After hearing what Fang Yi said, a student took the microphone from the teacher in the aisle and pointed out a few names to Fang Yi and asked directly: "Some of their works are worth more than USD if converted into US dollars."
Your work should be worth a million more!".
Upon hearing that this person was a fan of several people, Fang Yi smiled and only replied: "Maybe. I don't know how much my works can be sold for, but in terms of converting US dollars into RMB, I can't compare to them."
Fang Yi had no intention of talking to this student at all. In Fang Yi's opinion, there was no need to say anything and he couldn't put his own opinions into this student's mind. That was meaningless. He couldn't do it either. Since he made it clear in this way,
Just use your own opinions. If you talk about this thing, you can talk about it for decades. Art is nothing to talk about.
Seeing that this person wanted to stand up and ask Fang Yi questions, the teacher in the corridor handed the microphone to another student. This person seemed to like Artur's style and asked some questions to Artur.
Suddenly the style of the question and answer became softer from the sharp tone just now.
The lecture ended, and in the afternoon, Fang Yi and others began to demonstrate techniques to the stone art students, not only oil paintings, but also drawings and other works. Not only students but also some teachers of stone art were in attendance.
Demonstration by Fang Yiwu.
As expected by Fang Yi, Wei Jin brought Fang Yi a newspaper early in the morning on the third day after the speech. The title on it was, Linearism. Fang Yi thinks so-and-so’s work is worthless. After reading it,
After reading this headline, Fang Yi threw the newspaper back to Wei Jin.
"Taking it out of context and adding this title is just to expand sales. There are too many such articles on the newsstands on the street." Fang Yi said disdainfully. Fang Yi thought of the result without even reading it. When he said this, Fang Yi
He knew that some people would criticize him. But what Fang Yi didn't expect was that the voices supporting him would become even louder. Many domestic art critics published articles in magazines or media, criticizing modern Chinese art as a bunch of shit.
water.
If there is agreement, there will naturally be opposition. Moreover, some people's works have been sold at such high prices, and there are not just one or two beneficiaries involved. They have begun to hire people to refute, and suddenly it has become lively, and everyone is coming and going.
The arguments kept going on.
If you can't decide the merits of the argument, let's compare! It's easy to compare. Someone can compare the works of a middle-aged artist that sold for 60 to 70 million in China with Fang Yi's current works.
Which foreign museum collects Fang Yi's works, and you can see them when you go to the museum. If you people say that they are collected, where are the works hung in other museums?
Don’t we all use the gimmick of having our works collected by foreign art museums to speculate? Then let’s compare it like this!
Next, the method of one of them to speculate on paintings was revealed. It turned out that this person’s work was said to have sold for three million in the US market. In fact, he took it and bought it back by himself, and paid a lot of money to the auction house.
The handling fee. Except for this guy, no foreign gallery or collector in the audience raised their hand to bid once. After doing this several times, they spent a lot of money, and then used this gimmick to return to China.
The price of his paintings has gone up to tens of millions.
Originally, this was something that everyone in the industry knew, but now it has been exposed in the media, and now I feel happy. Some artists are indeed collected by foreign museums, which proves their own, and the price of their paintings rises, proving that
The price of water content will naturally decrease.
Fang Yi never thought that some of his words were like throwing sparks into the pyre, causing discussion and squeezing out a little bit of the market. (To be continued...)
