Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

This point is very clear to Mr. Yi, otherwise he would not come to Yang Chen often. If it were not for his suggestion, all the good things that Yang Chen bought would be stored in the dark basement. A collection hall was built, and several professional custodians were hired to take care of it strictly.

"Grandpa Yi"

"The painting I bought should be real, right? I didn't buy a fake one, did I?"

Elder Yi smiled and said: "The thing is real, but where did you get it from? This shrimp map is not available for ordinary people, and it is rarely circulated in the market."

"It's fine if it's real." Li Lizhen was relieved when she heard that the painting was real, and a smile appeared on her face.

There is no way, it is not so easy for everyone to imitate calligraphy and paintings with history, as long as they are professionals, they can easily distinguish them.

After all, something with history needs the precipitation of history.

Old Yi's painting

Its author is Mr. Qi Baishi, a famous modern painting master.

Qi Baishi, formerly known as Chunzhi, styled Weiqing, nicknamed Lanting, later changed his name to Huang, styled Bensheng, nicknamed Baishi, Baishi Shanweng, Laoping, Hungry Old Man, owner of the Borrowing Mountain Chanting Hall, old man on Jiping Hall, rich man with three hundred stone seals , a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, a master of modern Chinese painting and a world cultural celebrity.

Qi Baishi worked as a carpenter in his early years, and later made a living selling paintings. After he was 57, he settled in Beijing.

Most of the works are flowers and birds, insects and fish, landscapes and figures.

Among them, Qi Baishi's shrimp is a must.

As a modern painter, Qi Baishi's paintings are relatively popular works. However, because of his relatively low background, he made a living by selling paintings in his early years, so many of his works circulated in the market.

Due to the large number of works, there will be a lot of circulation in the market, and counterfeit products will naturally emerge in endlessly.

This big man has created thousands of paintings and poems in his life, not to mention outsiders, even he himself may not be able to fully recognize all his paintings.

How many paintings did Qi Baishi paint in his life?

There is a documentary about Qi Baishi in later generations. The reporter once asked how many works Qi Baishi had created in his life, and Qi Baishi himself admitted that there were as many as nearly [-] works.

In Qi Baishi's preface, he also mentioned: "There are thousands of paintings and thousands of poems."

Later, according to statistics from his family, Qi Baishi created about [-] pieces in his lifetime, so the narration in the documentary said more than [-] pieces.

Nearly [-] pairs of calligraphy and paintings are considered high-yielding, and it is modern, so the history is not so long, so there are naturally many people who imitate it.

However, most of Qi Baishi's shrimps are made in his later years, and the quantity is limited, so the price of each pair is not low.

Later generations Qi Baishi has works with a sky-high price of [-] million yuan.

Xu Beihong's horse

Tang Yin's Tiger

Huang Zhou's Donkey

Qi Baishi's Shrimp

Qi Baishi's painting of shrimps can be said to be a masterpiece in the painting world. It is lively, lifelike, and full of charm. He uses light ink to paint the body, and the infiltrated color shows the crystal clear feeling of the shrimp body.Use thick ink vertical dots as the eyes, horizontal writing as the brain, falling ink into gold, and vivid strokes.

Although Yang Chen couldn't see what was so good about Qi Baishi's shrimp, but whoever made him a big boss, all kinds of sky-high paintings in later generations appeared one after another.

If someone buys it, it means there is a market.

Regardless of whether it's really good or not, it's just a collection anyway.

And Li Lizhen happened to know that Yang Chen liked Qi Baishi's shrimps, so every time he went to the inland area, he would ask if he could buy Qi Baishi's authentic works.

"Brother, do you like it?"

"Is this the gift you are going to give me?"

"Brother said before that Xu Beihong's horse, Tang Yin's tiger, Huang Zhou's 馿, and Qi Baishi's shrimp are all outstanding, so I asked someone to help me find out if there are paintings by these people."

"I'm lucky. I came across two pieces this time. Although it's a bit expensive, as long as it's true, I shouldn't lose money."

"Oh?" Yang Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked curiously, "Apart from Qi Baishi's shrimp, whose painting did you buy?"

"There is also a picture of a galloping horse, with a poem written by Xu Beihong and a few seals on it. Brother, you said that the more seals of the author on a picture, the better. At that time, I asked director Tsui Hark to find someone to help me identify it several times before I bought it. Come down, let Grandpa Yi take a good look at it later..."

Chapter 949

The use of seals by calligraphers and painters began in the Yuan Dynasty Zhao Meng.

The seal is an indispensable part of a painting and calligraphy work. If the work of a calligrapher or painter is not stamped with a seal, sometimes it will affect the authenticity of the work.

At the same time, the seal is also an important basis for later masters to identify the authenticity of a painting and calligraphy work.

Many calligraphers and painters generally do not stamp the manuscripts that they scribble at will, and they usually stamp their own stamps only on some satisfactory works.

Why do you say that a calligraphy and painting work can be sold if it is stamped, but it can only be admired if it is not stamped.

one of the important reasons

It is the recognition degree of the calligrapher and painter to the work

If a work is not stamped, it does not mean that the work is not recognized by the calligrapher or painter.

But the stamped works are definitely recognized by calligraphers and painters. If they don't approve, they won't stamp their seals casually.

There are two types of printing commonly used by calligraphers and painters

The first type is official seal, name and font size seal. This kind of seal is square and solemn, and can be used after the name is written. According to space needs, a name seal can be used, and a font size seal can also be added, one inscribed and one inscribed to match.

The second category is idle chapters, the main content of which is an expression of the realm pursued by the author, which can be used at the beginning of the work, called Yinshouyin or Yinshouchapter, and can be used at an appropriate position according to aesthetic needs. Relatively free, can be long or short, can go with you.

Normally, a painting and calligraphy work will have two stamps, if there are more than two stamps, either the painters like it very much, or it’s just a whim, and they stamp it as they go.

Yes, ordinary people should not think too highly of the big guys, no matter who they are, to put it bluntly, they have one head, one pair of eyes, and two nostrils just like ordinary people.

The more famous people are, the more they are accompanied by "stars are not counted", and what they do on weekdays depends entirely on personal preferences.

Therefore, more seals are not necessarily good, and fewer seals are not necessarily bad.

However, this little girl Li Lizhen doesn't care about these things. For her, as long as Yang Chen says that Yin Duo is better, she will look for Yin Duo's works.

The works of modern calligraphers and painters are relatively easy to recognize, especially the calligraphers and painters with a large output. Their works are collected by many people and spread widely, so the recognition is relatively high. Generally, only the appraisers who have contacted the authentic works of calligraphers and painters , they can basically be seen at a glance.

Appraisers, in addition to experience, rely on a pair of piercing eyes.

As for fakes, they can only be used to fool ordinary people, as well as silly people like Li Lizhen. Fortunately, she knows that calligraphy and paintings are very important to authenticity, and she knows how to find someone to identify them first.

Listening to Mr. Yi and Master Li's introductions one by one, Yang Chen and Li Lizhen are fine, but Li Saifeng beside them feels like beeping a dog in his heart at this moment.
