This time, Ye Chen received an invitation from the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University to give a lecture.
Don’t forget, Ye Chen is also a distinguished professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University of Arts.
Last semester, Ye Chen only held one or two lectures. Why should he hold one or two lectures this semester to fulfill his responsibilities as a professor?
The content of Ye Chen’s lecture this time is the history of foreign art.
After Ye Chen arrived at the Academy of Fine Arts, he met the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts and several leaders. After Ye Chen briefly said a few words to them, Ye Chen went straight to the classroom.
When Ye Chen arrived at the classroom, the huge classroom was already full of people and extremely busy.
Ye Chen stood on the podium and glanced around. Ye Chen first noticed Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan sitting in the first row.
The two of them naturally knew that Ye Chen was coming to Shanghai University to give a lecture, so they immediately came to support Ye Chen. Moreover, they were also curious about art history. This time, they came to learn some new knowledge and enrich themselves.
.
In addition to them, Ye Chen also noticed a few young blond foreigners on the right side of the classroom. They should be foreign students from the Academy of Fine Arts.
When everything was ready, Ye Chen started the lecture.
In the first half, everything was normal. When Ye Chen talked about the history of modern foreign art and a very important figure - Picasso, there was a little surprise.
Ye Chen talked about Picasso's creative style and several of his representative works. Suddenly, in the audience, a girl raised her hand. She was a female international student.
"Classmate, what can I do for you?"
Ye Chen looked at the blond international student.
The blond girl stood up and said in fluent Chinese:
"Hello, professor, my name is Sophia."
Sophia introduced herself first, and then changed the subject:
"The first half of what you said was very good and very interesting, but in the second half, just now, you made a huge mistake."
"mistake?"
Ye Chen frowned and thought about it. Although he didn't prepare lessons or anything, he had gained skills from the game and all the knowledge was imprinted in his mind. How could he go wrong?
"Where did I go wrong?"
Ye Chen asked, but he didn't remember.
"Professor Ye, what you just said is that there is an error in Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe"."
Sophia corrected Ye Chen;
"You said that Master Picasso signed "Boy with a Pipe", but as far as I know, this famous painting is not signed."
"I have copied it many times."
Sophia is extremely confident.
"That's it."
What did Ye Chen think it was?
"In this case, let me explain it carefully. The pictures of "Boy with a Pipe" currently circulating on the Internet have very limited resolution. Even if you zoom in, you can't see clearly."
"And in a small corner of the lower right corner of the original "Boy with a Pipe" there is the abbreviation of Picasso's name."
Ye Chen corrected.
Hearing what Ye Chen said, Sophia frowned, she didn't believe it.
She had copied the painting "Boy with a Pipe" many times, but she didn't find it signed.
Thinking about it, Sophia took out her mobile phone and found the picture of "Boy with a Pipe" online. She downloaded the picture and enlarged it, but she could not find the signature of Master Picasso.
The clarity of this picture is not enough.
"Professor Ye, I still think you are wrong. I have never heard of "Boy with a Pipe" being signed by Master Picasso."
"I don't understand why you are so sure that there are English abbreviations of the master's name in the lower right corner?"
Sophia answered helplessly, insisting on her own idea.
Why does what the professor said must be a conversation, and as a student, what she said must be wrong?
Authority also needs to be questioned, and the truth is the most important thing.
"Why am I so confident?"
"Because "Boy with a Pipe" hangs in my living room and I have observed it."
After hearing Sophia's question, Ye Chen answered calmly.
As soon as Ye Chen said these words, the scene immediately fell into deathly silence.
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Ye Chen blankly.
That famous painting "Boy with a Pipe" by Picasso is at Professor Ye's house?!
Go ahead, this is too awesome.
Although they don't know the specific price of this painting, with Picasso's reputation as a master and the fact that this is a masterpiece, the value of "Boy with a Pipe" is 100 million, or even hundreds of millions.
This famous painting hangs in Professor Ye’s home?!!!
Professor Ye’s family is really a “family disciple with four coins”!
Sophia was also stunned by Ye Chen's words. Professor Ye's answer made her unable to refute.
"Professor Ye, I still remain skeptical."
Sophia thought for a moment and replied:
"Can I add your contact information and take a photo for me when you get home?"
Sophia would not give up until she saw the Yellow River, unless she saw the "Boy with a Pipe" with her own eyes.
But she was too embarrassed to directly say that she would go to Professor Ye's house to take a look, so she politely said that she hoped to see the photos.
"That's okay."
Ye Chen nodded.
He didn't make the scene called "Boy with a Pipe."
After all, that painting is just a decoration in his home. Who would be okay taking a photo of an unimportant and inconspicuous thing in his home?
"By the way, I have photos here."
Suddenly, Zhao Shuxuan, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly spoke.
Ye Chen had never taken a photo, but Zhao Shuxuan had. She heard from her brother that the painting was by Picasso.
She was shocked. Master Picasso was too famous.
If she had the chance to see the authentic work of Master Picasso, she would definitely take a photo.
After saying that, Zhao Shuxuan quickly opened her phone, rummaged through the photo album, and quickly found the photo.
After getting Ye Chen's permission, Zhao Shuxuan stood up, took the photo, and walked to Sophia.
"Give."
"I took many kinds of photos of that painting. You can look through them yourself."
After that, Zhao Shuxuan handed the phone to Sophia.
Sophia took the phone in confusion, she still didn't believe it.
After taking the phone, Sophia lowered her head and looked at it, her eyes suddenly widened!
Following Sophia's gaze, the photo on Zhao Shuxuan's phone at the moment was not Picasso's "Boy with a Pipe", but another very special photo!!!
