Needless to say, there was the dinner that followed. Everyone sat together in the lobby on the first floor, listening to host Ryan Seacrest’s comedy. Then the host, who is now somewhat famous, hosted the auction.
.
The auction did not start with a painting directly, but the foundation announced its expenditures for the year. Fang Yi also got a small book, glanced at it and threw it on the table, because he couldn't remember the details in it, almost.
It has reached the point where every nail purchased has a record.
Fang Yi doesn't like reading notebooks, but it doesn't mean that Fang Yi doesn't appreciate the transparency of advanced capitalism in this regard, and the government's control is becoming more and more strict. After donating money and seeing such detailed income and expenditure reports every year, I always feel
I have a sense of security knowing where the charity money is used.
The accounts are not only seen by the people sitting here, but will also be published on the website at regular intervals to accept questions from the public. When someone raises questions, the charity fund will soon provide an explanation and response. In this way
It will never take more than two days. Fang Yi thinks this is a good method. It not only reassures those who do charity, but also encourages more people to invest in charity. Not only that, the government also has corresponding tax policy support.
The money you donate to charity is tax-deductible.
It can not only gain fame, but also have the small comfort of being tax-free. It can also be used to block arrows when you are in critical condition. Not to mention that you can know where your money is going. I hope these rich people like to donate money.
thing.
Fang Yi didn't know that these people had special hobbies before. They were obviously very wealthy, but when auctioning, they always liked to add $500 apiece. Each work could be photographed for five or six minutes. It seemed that he could get something out of this kind of indolence.
I was very satisfied, and the final transaction price was not a round number. Usually the final transaction price was with a fraction. Zheng Yuan, who was sitting next to Fang Yi, also raised his hand several times and bought it for US$29,500.
A piece of work.
All in all, the exhibition was very good and the auction went well. The works donated by emerging artists were sold for US$8 to 9 million.
After the entire October exhibition, Fang Yi would read the latest art journals every morning after returning home to satisfy his inner arrogance.
Sitting next to the dining table, holding milk in one hand and flipping through the latest "American Art" in the other, I don't have to look at the other cover to see my work showing a black female exhibitionist. Its current name is "Falling into the World".
It seems that the American media recognizes this work very much, just like what is introduced in the magazine Fang Yi is holding: the black woman's toned body shines with a moving halo under the sun, and her eyes shine with gentleness.
A firm and pure light. She walks briskly and seems to be bringing a wind of freedom in front of you. What the author painted is not a
She is only naked in a windbreaker, but the black-skinned Statue of Liberty is painted. She is so confident and so pure. Looking at the character next to her, you will know that she is extraordinary. Looking at the character in the center of the painting on the road, everyone's eyes are full of...
With a thought-provoking look. The old beggar in the corner of the canvas slightly closed his hands, as if praying...
The whole work is filled with an American style of freedom, brisk brushwork, and warm light. Like the other two works, the characters on the entire canvas seem to be completely immersed in the light. All previous works have light.
It is a surface. And the appearance of this square makes the light become a body, and the shapes on the canvas are all bathed in this volume of light.
Yifang has completed a decisive leap! The City of Angels gave the artist so much inspiration to create this outstanding work, which can be said to be the American version of "Liberty Leading the People."
This evaluation is a bit too high, so high that Fang Yi himself didn’t expect it at all. When Fang Yi was creating, he wanted to paint a black woman who was fearless and elegant, and who didn’t have freedom.
, but I never expected that this magazine would assign it such a status to be compared with Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People".
Fang Yi has enjoyed too much praise like this in the past few days. However, none of them can praise himself like this. It is such a passionate and colorful article that Fang Yi feels it is worth reading it carefully again.
After the catalog, the magazine printed album pages with three of his works, followed by a brief introduction by Fang Yi, and then a review article. After reading it again, Fang Yi discovered a small problem. When he introduced himself before,
The words "Chinese nationality living in the United States" are still there, but now they are replaced by "born in China. Studied in France, and now lives in Los Angeles, blurring my nationality."
Just like the comments from the French art media I saw earlier, after praising Fang Yi, they emphasized that Fang Yi had a background of studying in Paris and had received systematic influence from the French Academy of Art in Paris high fashion. Finally, he brought
In the previous sentence, Fang is another classicist master who came out of romantic Paris! It’s like Paris played a big role in Fang Yi’s breakthrough.
Of course, the French media did not say that this painting "Falling to Earth" is comparable to "Liberty Leading the People". This thing is probably only what the American media can say.
Of course, the art media cannot blatantly say that Fang Yi has any specific connection with his country, but there will always be some meaning between the lines. The American media implies that the beautiful Los Angeles has influenced Fang Yi's works, and the French think that Fang Yi's techniques
And my thoughts are influenced by the romantic Paris of France.
After reading it for the second time, Fang Yi closed the magazine and started thinking about it. The American art media now clearly unanimously praises his painting "Falling into the World" and attaches it to a very high position, while the European media
It seems that I prefer another group portrait, that is, "Friendship" thinks this painting
His character can express the elegance and solemnity of classicism more strongly, and the characterization is penetrating to the bone. On the contrary, the painting "National Tragedy" that I am most satisfied with has received slightly less favorable reviews from the Western media. As for how domestic people will evaluate this work, Fang
Yi can't see it yet, because Fang Yi doesn't subscribe to any domestic art magazines.
"Has the latest "Art Review" arrived?" Thinking of this, Fang Yi raised his head and looked at Yeda and asked.
"We're already here. It's down there." Yeda pointed at Fang Yi.
After listening to Yeda's words, Fang Yi glanced around and saw the "Art Criticism" he wanted. Then he opened it. As the most authoritative art critic in the world, the British media is indeed very professional.
Yi’s three works were analyzed one by one, from composition to thought.
I went through it inside and out, and even gave a brief introduction to the Shicheng Massacre in "National Memorial" as the creative background of the work. It can be seen how meticulous the British are, and then there are Fang Yi's works and the current wave.
The advantages and disadvantages of each of Beeler's works are compared.
It was just such a technical analysis and comparison without much praise. Finally, I came up with this sentence: With these three works, Yifang can be said to be one of the two most outstanding classical masters in the contemporary era.
The next article is an evaluation of the three works exhibited by Popile this time, and it is also highly praised.
Although the entire "Art Criticism" article seems tame and contains too many technical things, it still gives Fang Yi a fairly reliable definition and believes that Fang Yi and Popile created a new classical style of painting.
, and in this article, the style of their works is called postclassicism.
Although there is no high praise, with the authority of "Art Criticism", it has now defined Fang Yi's identity and qualifications to stand side by side with Popile. It also gives high hopes for the future works of both of them.
.In a sense, Fang Yi has now stood on the top of the pyramid of modern painting artists from a world-famous artist. Of course, there is also Bobiel standing next to him.
Fang Yi was enjoying his spiritual breakfast when Zheng Yuan came down the stairs. He saw Fang Yi holding a magazine and smiled, shaking his head and sitting next to the dining table.
After simply eating something, Zheng Yuan stood up from the table, kissed Fang Yi on the forehead, and jokingly said to her husband: "What magazine are you reading? Go online and see where the praises are even more disgusting!".
Fang Yi raised his head and looked at his wife and said: "What are you going to see over there? Many people are just following and making fun of you!". There are praises on the Internet, but there are also disdains, and even more abuses. In short, there is a screen.
No one knows who is who, anyway
Come on! Some random people even made pretentious comments about Fang Yi's work and came to the conclusion that it was useless. In the end, they even advised Fang Yi to just change his career after painting like this. It seems that Fang Yi can only embody this by selling hot dogs on the street.
out of its own value.
"There is a rehearsal today? Are you awake?" Fang Yi asked Zheng Yuan.
"I was still asleep when I went downstairs. I don't know now." Zheng Yuan said, turned around and walked out the door.
The breakfast lasted long enough. Fang Yi watched Zheng Yuan leave the house and stood up from the table. Before going to the studio, he went upstairs and took a look at his son who was sleeping like a piglet.
, happily walked into the studio and began to experiment with the new techniques he learned from Popile.
Fang Yi has not subscribed to domestic magazines, and it is even less possible to subscribe to Japanese magazines. Japan has close ties with Western countries. As soon as Fang Yi's painting exhibition came out, the Japanese art media over there knew that Fang Yi would be another Bobiel.
.
This "National Memorial" did not catch the eyes of Westerners, but it made the Japanese feel very uncomfortable. Originally, the massacre created by Keshima and the four people was disturbing enough, but who would have thought that a new one would pop up just two years later?
Cruel, although Fang Yi's works are not as ferocious and inhuman as the Japanese soldiers at that time, their influence is much greater now, and in terms of artistic achievement alone, they are much higher than Keshma's works.
, it’s even more shocking!
Almost all European and American art media reported on Fang Yi's three works, and they actually published them. Many right-wingers began to clamor in the media or on the Internet to buy this work back and destroy it. These clamoring
What the Japanese people don't know is that the most important analysis has not yet come. Jean Clair, Fang Yi's die-hard supporter, has not yet said anything, and the real and profound analysis of Fang Yi's three works has not yet come.
