Chapter 152 Recent Situation (1/3)
The National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris is located on the left bank of the Seine River. It was established in 1796 and is one of the four major art academies in the world. At that time, Xu Beihong, Wu Guanzhong and others learned painting techniques in this school. Needless to say, it is simply one of the top halls in the minds of painting creators.
Ye Dongqing doesn't know much about these things. He is a rough man. No one has taught him how to appreciate them since he was a child. When he saw a certain work of art, it is only divided into four levels: good-looking, general, bad-looking, and ugly. Putting aside the various "connotations", "fame", "historical" and other factors imposed on the work by others, this is actually the soul of art creation, and the word "beauty" runs through the entire river of art.
Not only Picasso was hated by him, but also artistic masters such as Pierre Mondrian and Henry Matisse. Their fame is unquestionable, but the messy works are difficult to like. Ye Dongqing felt that if he gave himself two or three days to practice, he could also draw such "work of art".
For example, Pierre Mondrian's various solid-color squares do not need to be learned at all. A normal person can make similar works with a ruler. Not to mention De Kuning's "Women" that was sold at a sky-high price, it will only make people feel disgusted after seeing it, and it is not as good as those solid-color squares.
Before seeing Miss Mashi's works, Ye Dongqing was worried that she was like those lunatics. However, after entering the studio to see those works, she realized that her worries were obviously quite redundant.
The small studio is not big, only more than twenty square meters, and is quite clean. The oil brushes, paints, etc. are arranged neatly, and the works are like Miss Mahi himself, making him feel comfortable.
A bright flamingo oil painting composed of pink, white and black is hung in it, about one meter square, with a pleasant color. Next to it is a colorful painting, composed of countless flowers and green leaves intertwined. Works without characters are all landscapes and objects, like tiger heads like ink paintings, which look very realistic. Next to it is a beach hanging a pink Hubble Island landscape painting, and the blockbusters are all bright colors.
"Wow, I don't know what to say anymore. They surprised me and were much better than I thought. I like these types of oil paintings." Ye Dongqing said.
"I really like it?"
"Of course, if I hang them in the restaurant, I can at least eat an extra bowl of rice, which will make it feel comfortable."
"Haha! According to you, I should be drawing specifically for those who are anorexia. Thank you for your praise. I have been practicing diluting the pigments recently to give the works a hazy beauty of traditional Chinese paintings. Some people have tried it before, and now many Western illustrators are trying it.
These two Pop style oil paintings are my previous works. When I first entered school, I was crazy about Mr. Lich Denstein's painting style. It felt like a comic, right?"
Miss Mashi lifted the sunscreen and showed the other two oil paintings to Ye Dongqing, drawing a group of little monsters and the two protagonists in "Cat and Mouse". The color contrast is strong. Ye Dongqing is inexplicably cute by those fat and fat green monsters, and she is so funny: "The styles are different from those on the wall, but they are also very interesting. I finally understand why you studied this major. You are indeed quite talented."
Mahi sighed and said, "When I was a few years old, I used to accompany my friend to learn painting, but later I persisted and she gave up very early."
"So how many years have you studied?"
"It's been thirteen years. At the beginning, I used sketches and other things, but now I rarely draw them. I will have the opportunity to show you my previous sketches, the kind with a very good figure in the model."
"...Okay, then have you signed a gallery or something? They can help you promote your works. If you want, I want to pack up and buy them all."
"Are you serious? I don't plan to sign a contract with the gallery recently because I don't want to see my work being pointed at by others, at least not before graduation. In fact, my father thought about asking friends to help me promote it. Maybe if I become famous, he will be more respectful in front of my friends."
"As Chinese, it's normal to have face. I still remember when my father was alive, he even rented a good Porsche and sent me to a friend's birthday party.
I'm very serious and can sign checks now. Maybe after you become famous, you can still make money from these works. There are no artworks on my walls. They can make the house look a lot... "
***************
Zhao Liuli has a cell phone and occasionally contacts Laura unilaterally.
Ye Dongqing didn't know that she had been betrayed by the girl. After learning that he had come to Europe, Laura was wondering if he would come to London to find her, but unfortunately, as the day passed, the phone was silent and now she no longer had any fantasies.
Born in a chaotic family, her mother instilled many bad thoughts in Laura since she was a child, and she taught herself by words and examples, so that she recently began to worry about whether she was too casual at that time, after all, the best thing she couldn't get was.
Not to mention how sad she was, she was sure of her disappointment. In fact, after she came to London impulse, she wanted to go back to New York. The friend who invited her to London during her growth had gradually lost herself, and even asked Laura to help bring "tobacco" from the United States to the UK, saying that she was doing business together.
The idea was so paranoid that Laura decisively and unilaterally cut off contact with her old friends and moved to a hotel with an ordinary environment for the time being. She could not see much hope in the future and had no family to rely on.
That night, I bought some wine and hid in the room while drinking and crying. Suddenly I missed the time I stayed in Ye Dongqing's house.
Although that guy is a little bit fickle and hateful, at least he doesn’t have to worry about anything. He goes to the company every day to help, learn to cook and clean, and at least he won’t be confused.
After all, she was still a young girl who had just left school. It was normal to be confused. Miss Maxi's family helped her solve her worries, and Laura had to rely on herself more often. Fortunately, she made some money after meeting Ye Dongqing, and she didn't have to worry about her livelihood for the time being.
After crying, I felt that it would be embarrassing to go back at this time. My idea of finishing college in the UK was not shaken. Laura really wanted to become an excellent woman, both for her ideals and for Ye Dongqing, a guy who did not try to keep him, felt regretful in the future. He said he was angry, and he was a little angry.
It's like fish in water in the business world, but it has to be said that Ye Dongqing is simply a mess in terms of relationships. This was the case before, and this time it was the case. Unlike the elderly bachelor, who desperately wanted to catch the drowning straw, leaving him with a lot of room for choice, so he never felt that he needed to make a decision in a hurry.
He is only nineteen years old this year, and his life is still very far away...
