When Yu Fei unfolded the incomplete scroll, Mitsui Sumitomo's face showed a look of disappointment. For any antique, one of the important determinants of its value is its condition. The better the condition, the higher the value.
.
A piece of the upper left corner of this scroll was torn off, leaving only a little red mark. Its condition is certainly not good.
Regardless of the artistic value of this painting for the time being, it is a big problem simply to say that there is not a single word in the whole article. This makes it difficult to date, to study the author, and to estimate the value of this painting.
It's a pity, it's a pity. Mitsui Sumitomo shook his head slightly and said.
What's wrong? Mitsui Saori asked nervously.
It seems that Mr. Yu is not very involved in antique collection. Sumitomo Mitsui said with a hint of guidance: For an ancient painting, its style and identification are a very important aspect. Don’t look at this painting as just one
Such a small piece is missing, but the mark is missing, and its value is greatly reduced.
Yu Fei nodded, of course he knew what Mitsui Sumitomo said. But the reason why he chose this painting was not only because of its age and history of four or five hundred years, but also because this painting was very well done. Even Yu Fei chose this painting.
Fei Zhang, a layman with little knowledge of art, could feel it. This was the most important reason why he bought this painting.
However, Mitsui Sumitomo did not discover it for a while due to the constraints of experience.
Mr. Sanjing, you are a big collector, can you tell who painted this painting? Yu Fei asked. He believed that such a painting could never be by an unknown person, and he placed his hope in Sanjing.
Isumitomo could see where it was coming from.
Yu Fei was sincerely asking for advice, but in Mitsui Sumitomo's ears, he didn't mean it that way.
Seeing that Mr. Lanyu is going to take the exam, he is an old man. Mitsui Sumitomo said.
Yu Feixin said that this old guy just likes to think too much, so just let him be, and Yu Fei didn't defend himself.
There is no identification. Although it is difficult to identify, it is wishful thinking to stump the old man. Sumitomo Mitsui confidently said: There are many paintings and calligraphy works in my collection. I have collected almost all famous Japanese painters except Sessune and other Yang.
Therefore, I also know a little bit about its style and characteristics.
Mitsui Sumitomo doesn't like to be competitive in this area, and he doesn't like to exaggerate, but when faced with Fei's fierce general, he is no longer calm.
Of course, if the painting is unknown, then it would be impossible to identify it. Finally, Sumitomo Mitsui added another sentence.
In his opinion, this is the most likely situation in Yu Fei's painting. The reason why the upper left corner was torn off was to cater to many people's thoughts and leave more room for their imagination.
Mitsui Sumitomo came to Yu Fei's side with a magnifying glass. He also said: All the works of famous artists have traces to follow. Some are in the layout, some are in the lines, some are thick, some are thin, and some are sharp.
Like knives, some are as soft as jade, some are thick, and some are light. They can be said to have their own characteristics. These characteristics are an important basis for distinguishing authenticity. Although many people copy, they try to be as similar as possible, but there are always some omissions here or there.
Of course, these are just some rudimentary methods. The more profound method is to distinguish the charm in the work, but these are still too early for you.
Yu Fei didn't speak.
Mitsui Sumitomo thought that he just couldn't save face for a while, so he didn't blame him.
The overall layout of this painting is pretty good. And the brushwork...
Mitsui Sumitomo did not continue speaking, but suddenly bent down, almost lying on the painting.
Impossible, this is impossible. Mitsui Sumitomo couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Dad, what are you saying is impossible? Mitsui Saori asked.
Don't talk. What I didn't expect was that Mitsui Sumitomo, who had always been reluctant to speak loudly to his daughter, suddenly interrupted Mitsui Saori's words.
Mr. Yu Mitsui Sumitomo turned to Yu Fei: Can you tell me where you bought this painting?
Didn’t Dad just tell you that these paintings were randomly picked by Yu Fei and I from the antique market? Why don’t you believe it?
Mitsui Saori said helplessly.
Sumitomo Mitsui seems to be a little abnormal today.
But Mitsui Sumitomo obviously didn't believe his daughter's words. He even thought that this painting was a masterpiece that Mitsui Saori took to some antique shops to pick up a high price, and he only said that he bought it at an exhibition just to fool himself.
.
Faced with Mitsui Sumitomo's doubts, Saori had no choice but to explain the situation again.
Mitsui Sumitomo shook his head and sighed, Mr. Yu, I have to say that you are very lucky.
Dad, what on earth do you want to say? Finally, Mitsui Saori couldn't bear it anymore.
Okay, okay, I see how anxious you are. Mitsui Sumitomo said helplessly: The artistic value of this painting is very high. If I look at it correctly, it should be an imitation of Sesshu and other Yang's works by famous artists, and the imitation is very similar, almost
It has reached the point where it looks like the real thing. It is worth a lot of money. Mitsui Sumitomo said.
Sesshu and other Yang Sanjing Saori said in disbelief: Dad, you must have read correctly. This is the second time Mitsui Saori has questioned her father.
You kid. Mitsui Sumitomo said: Although I don’t have the works of Sesshu and other Yang, I have studied them quite a lot. The characteristics of his works are still clear. Every aspect of this work has reached a very high level.
It is no exaggeration to say that the fake is mistaken for the real.
Dad, since the fake can be mistaken for the real, then there is no possibility that this painting is the original work of Sesshu and Mr. Yang. Mitsui Saori boldly guessed.
This is impossible, Mitsui Sumitomo flatly refused.
How is this impossible? Yazhi said stubbornly: Although he has few works, it’s not like he doesn’t even have one painting. If there is one, then why can’t it be this one?
That's right, why didn't I think of that? Mitsui Sumitomo slapped his forehead and said.
As the psychological shackles were lifted, the more Sumitomo Mitsui looked at the painting, the more he felt that it looked like the original work of Sesshu and Yang. But it was so unbelievable that even Sumitomo Mitsui couldn't believe it.
eyes and experience.
The proficiency of this technique, the beauty of the composition, and the boldness of splashing ink are probably only possible by Sesshu and Mr. Yang. Even if future generations deliberately imitate them, they cannot imitate them. Mitsui Sumitomo murmured to himself, but,
Impossible, how could Sesshu and Yang's works appear at an ordinary exhibition and be bought by Yu Fei at a very low price of less than 100,000 yen?
Thinking back to the Zhou Wen painting just now, Mitsui Sumitomo's expression changed. He turned to Yu Fei, his aura became aggressive, and shouted sternly: Mr. Yu, stop pretending, are you teasing the old man by doing this?
It may be possible to buy more than ten pieces of art at an exhibition, and one of them is Zhou Wen's painting, because there is never a lack of luck in the collecting world. Mitsui Sumitomo often
Although there are very few things I heard about someone missing something again, it is not new.
So when Yu Fei just said it was luck, Mitsui Sumitomo believed it.
But this one is suspected to be a work by Sesshu and other Yang. Although Sumitomo Mitsui is not sure yet, the possibility is still very high.
The upper left corner of this painting has been chipped, and there is no identification whatsoever. Mitsui Sumitomo himself would never take a second look at it even if he happened to see it.
Just such a painting was actually picked out by Yu Fei from the vast number of artworks at the exhibition. This can no longer be explained by luck.
There is only one possibility, and that is that this Yu Fei does not rely on luck in everything as he said. He is simply a hidden expert, and what he just said was just teasing himself.
It's a pity that I was teased by a young man in his early twenties and didn't realize it. If I tell this, where should I put my old face?
Dad, what are you talking about? Didn’t I tell you? Yu Fei was really lucky to have bought this painting. Seeing this, Mitsui Saori quickly explained.
But Mitsui Sumitomo couldn't believe it. He didn't ask for Yu Fei's permission, but quickly appraised all the remaining ten antiques. This time he was a little stunned. He couldn't even explain what he saw.
