"Little junior sister, please take a closer look at this painting."
After Pan Jianfeng said these words, Wu Ziyun felt a little surprised.
In Wu Ziyun's impression, Pan Jianfeng was a very proud student who was confident in his aesthetic taste.
When he was at Central Academy of Fine Arts, he once gave advice and commented on the artistic styles of various teachers in the college. Most of them did not like them, and Wu Ziyun also belonged to the category that Pan Jianfeng did not like.
The style of craftsman only comes with skills.
This was Pan Jianfeng's evaluation of Wu Ziyun at that time.
Pan Jianfeng's comments are certainly inappropriate. Although the art world should tolerate criticism, as a student, it is inappropriate for him to criticize a teacher in such a blatant, unscrupulous and fierce manner.
However, precisely because he was a student, none of the teachers who were evaluated by Pan Jianfeng, including Wu Ziyun, responded to this.
The school did not give Pan Jianfeng any punishment or make things difficult for him because of this matter.
As a person who is passionate about abstract expressionism, Pan Jianfeng should have liked such a free soil very much, but he soon abandoned Central Academy of Fine Arts and went to look for the so-called source of art and the palace of freedom.
The road to art abroad was not smooth. He traveled from Europe to the United States. He thought that he would be able to prosper in the base camp of Abstract Expressionism.
But contrary to expectations, there was a lack of standards in art works, and this was especially true in abstract expressionist works of art.
So although he persisted and believed in his art, no one could understand his works.
Later he realized a truth: the reason why no one understood his art was because no one knew him yet.
It has to be said that Pan Jianfeng realized the truth in the art world.
Art needs standards, and abstract expression art also lacks standards. Only by increasing its popularity can standards be created.
After returning to China, his purpose was very clear. He used his experience abroad to make a lot of names for himself and actively held art exhibitions.
It didn't take long for him to gain a number of fans and sell a number of paintings.
A painter like him who is already somewhat famous should not be so obsessed with getting praise from a little girl of just a few years old.
But Pengpeng is not an ordinary little girl, and Pan Jianfeng is not the young man who dared to point out the world.
If you can get Pengpeng's approval, it is equivalent to getting Wu Ziyun's approval, and it is also equivalent to getting Zhang Zhong's approval.
Moreover, Pengpeng herself is a talented young painter who is well-known in the industry.
Now Pan Jianfeng needs these things to pave the way for his abstract expressionism.
However, Pengpeng couldn't understand Pan Jianfeng's aesthetics at all. After reading his words for a while, she shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, senior, I don't quite understand."
Pengpeng said it very politely and gave Pan Jianfeng face.
However, Pan Jianfeng was still a little disappointed, "Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Wu Ziyun did not make any comments and pulled Pengpeng towards another painting.
Zhang Zhong and the others also moved over. Xu Yuhan followed Zhang Zhong and sighed slightly, "I just met two acquaintances and chatted for a while. Senior Pan Jianfeng seems to be in a bad state recently."
"Are you familiar with Pan Jianfeng before?" Zhang Zhong asked.
Xu Yuhan shook her head, "I don't think I'm familiar with him, but he's from an art group and I've had contact with him before. And he's also one of the better-achieving painters of the younger generation, so everyone is familiar with his current situation."
"What did you mean by the bad state you just mentioned?"
"I heard that he has been taking medication recently, but I don't know what the specific medication is," Xu Yuhan said.
"Medicine? Is it medicine you take when you are sick, or something else?" Zhang Zhong asked with a frown.
The so-called other drugs naturally refer to those dependence drugs that can cause hallucinations.
"Others, but I'm not sure about this either. Pan Jianfeng is not in good condition recently, and it may not be as the two acquaintances said." Xu Yuhan said.
Zhang Jian nodded and said, "Well, it's better not to spread things without evidence. If there is any misunderstanding in the process, it will cause irreversible harm to the person involved. I still want to believe that he has not contracted some bad habits, even if I don't appreciate him.
works."
Many modern European and American art practitioners have contracted various bad habits, the most serious of which is naturally their dependence on hallucinogenic drugs.
China's domestic control over these things is relatively strict, so it is relatively better, but there are also frequent news about accidents involving some people in the literary and art circles.
Zhang Zhong suddenly thought of Pollock, the master of abstract expressionism. In the eyes of ordinary people, the life of this master of abstract expressionism was absolutely full of bad things, and he was not a good person.
He was addicted to drugs, drunkenness, and cheating. Except for the paintings that were worth some money, his life was full of holes.
Sometimes even people who are engaged in art have a hard time figuring out what art is and why they engage in art.
This again involves a standard issue.
If Pollock had not met a standard that suited him, he would probably have been just a depressed alcoholic and drug addict, a complete bottom of society.
Zhang Zhong feels that Abstract Expressionism has such a problem. Some Abstract Expressionist painters have appallingly poor basic skills.
Some people may think that poor basic skills and weak techniques are not fatal shortcomings for an artist.
In fact, this is true, otherwise Pollock would not be so famous.
But throughout the history of art, I’m afraid you won’t find many people with such poor basic skills as Pollock.
In the past, people thought that the basic skills of Impressionist painters were poor because their paintings did not look alike. However, in fact, the basic skills of many Impressionist painters were too strong.
Therefore, Zhang Zhong feels that basic skills are definitely an important factor in measuring a painter.
Zhang Zhong did not mean to belittle Pollock. There is not even one Pollock among one hundred thousand abstract expressionist painters. Zhang Zhong was belittling abstract expressionism, and at the same time he really felt sorry for Pollock.
If Pollock could make good use of his talents and lay the foundation from an early age, he might be able to follow a different path and not be so empty later on.
Zhang Zhong glanced at Pan Jianfeng. Although he asked Xu Yuhan not to spread news without evidence, he himself was very concerned about whether Pan Jianfeng was taking drugs.
He is not a righteous person, but if Pan Jianfeng is really taking dependence drugs, he still thinks it is best to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Resolving this matter before Pan Jianfeng becomes more famous can reduce the impact.
If Pan Jianfeng had waited until he became a painter like Pollock, and then it was revealed that he was a drug addict, it would definitely have a huge impact, and it would even provide evidence for some people's drug addiction.
