Chapter 573 Old Painter
Han Xuan is a self-aware person who is not ashamed to sing. ◎,
It was already time for dinner. After eating in the morning, I kept sitting in the car without exercise and digestion, so I was not very hungry.
After asking Anya, she heard that she didn't want to eat, so she went straight to the Whitney Art Museum on the Upper East Side not far away.
Manhattan's Upper East Side starts from 59th Street in New York in the south, 96th Street in the north, Fifth Avenue in the west, and Ister River in the east.
Compared with the Upper West District where Han Xuan lives, it has a superior geographical location and looks even more luxurious. It is the richest settlement area in New York.
The air is filled with the smell of money, with a charm that is tempered by capital and time and is sophisticated.
There are many famous museums and world-class specialty stores, and the best private and public schools in the United States, you can find them here.
If you see a child who has just entered kindergarten, a fleet of several Rolls-Royces will be taken to school, and there will be several bodyguards who are close to you, and you will only be allowed to drink the water you bring and eat the food you bring.
Don't be surprised.
This is the Upper East Side.
A co-ops set of four bedrooms or larger (the owners purchase the property rights of the apartment, they actually own the shares of the building and have the long-term use rights of the "company"), the average price is US$2 million.
Some top co-ops councils require a proof of net asset audit of $10 million to $20 million, or even $50 million.
Many celebrity tycoons with assets worth tens of millions cannot buy apartments in these places because of their bad records.
The No. 220 South Central Park, which Donald Trump is planning and developing, is established according to this rule.
The record-breaking increase the proof of net assets to $100 million. Those who have had a criminal record come to buy a house and turn it off directly.
Even if the conditions are so harsh, more than 30 sets have been sold, including Middle Eastern oil tycoons, African mineral owners, shipping tycoons, and directors of some listed companies.
Michael Bloomberg of Bloomberg News, Larry Ellison, Oracle Software Company, etc., and Mukesh Ambani, the new chairman of India's Integrity Industry Group, will all become residents here.
These people become neighbors with each other, which will be of great help to the business and the growth of the next generation.
Han Xuan asked Donald to help him keep a villa close to Central Park there. No. 220 is closer to No. 200. After the Spiral Building is built, it is too troublesome to return to the house in Shangxi District from Zhongcheng District...
As the car drove into the parking lot, the destination arrived.
It happened to be holidaying, and there was a long queue outside the Whitney Art Museum.
Paul Cézanne, the creator of the oil painting exhibition this time, was a representative figure of the late Impressionism and was praised as the "father of Art Nouveau" since the end of the 19th century.
As a pioneer of modern art, Western modern painters called him "the father of modern art", "the father of modeling", and "the father of modern painting" and other famous all over the world.
This rare fine art exhibition attracted oil painting enthusiasts from all over the United States to come and watch, and there are many famous oil painting masters among them.
Anya has been involved in painting since she was a child. In her life before she met Han Xuan, painting was the most familiar thing she was.
Now that she came to the entrance of the art gallery, she seemed to be home. She had a smile on her face and looked particularly excited, and she pulled Han Xuan to buy tickets.
The winter wind hurts on your face.
The cold air moving south from the north was strong and did not weaken at all because New York was close to the Atlantic Ocean.
Han Xuan was afraid that others would recognize him, so he put on a hat and a mask. When he saw the gloomy sky above his head, he felt that there might not be a snow bullet, and it might snow today.
He noticed that Anya was walking, suddenly circled around, took herself into the crowd, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's Mr. Baltis! I just seemed to see him." Anya stood on tiptoe and looked around in the crowd.
Han Xuan had never heard of this person's name and asked her curiously: "Who is Baltis?"
"So there are things you don't know. Picasso praised Baltis as the greatest painter of the 20th century.
The New York Museum of Art helped him hold an art exhibition as early as 1956. He is a true figure-based painting master.
My former oil painting teacher liked his works very much. He was still here just now, why can’t I see it?”
Anya asked someone to introduce her and whispered apologies, squeezing away the crowd and walking forward.
"etc."
Han Xuan asked Anya to stop, pointing to a bald eagle-nosed old man who was talking to the people around him, and asked, "Is it him?"
"right!
Alas? Didn’t you say you didn’t know Baltis?”
"If you can be praised by Picasso, you must be very famous. I think people around you respect this gentleman very much and guess it randomly."
After explaining, he pulled Anya towards him.
Beside Baltis, there was a woman speaking with a Japanese accent. The old man was already seventy years old and eighty years old, and the woman was only in her forty or fifty years old.
Anya just called fiercely, but now she was standing in front of Baltis, but she didn't dare to speak. Seeing her thin-skinned, Han Xuan smiled and said, "Hello, sir, my friend is your fan."
The old man looked at Anya in surprise and said in a trembling voice: "It's so beautiful, can you be my model?"
I can help you draw a picture, and I will give it to you as a reward later.”
Han Xuan was stunned. He thought Anya would agree, but she took a step back and shook her head and said, "No, no, no!
I just want you to sign for me and give it to my teacher, Ms. Dani Yablonskaya."
"Hmm? I remember she is Ukrainian, have you been to the United States?"
There was a fat old man with braids next to him who looked like an art-engaging artist, asking.
Yabronskaya is quite famous in the oil painting industry of the former Soviet Union and is known as the most famous female painter of Ukraine in the 20th century.
She is Russian and has been living in Ukraine since the 1930s, so this person was so surprised when Anya said she was a student of Yablonskaya.
Anya explained: "She came to New York in 1992 and lived near my house.
My first oil painting was taught by her, and since then I have always regarded her as my teacher.”
"Yablonskaya's paintings are great, with a strong personality in them. I have seen her at an exchange meeting for more than 20 years.
So, don't you really want to be my model?
I can pay you," Baltis asked again.
Someone thought of a circulating message from Anya's purple eyes and asked, "You are Cecilia's daughter, right, that little painter with purple eyes?"
“She is my mother.
Mr. Baltis, it really doesn't need it, I, I...I'm going home to do my homework, so there's no time, um."
"Okay, that's a pity.
If you promise to be a model, I will definitely be able to draw the best painting!”
Han Xuan swore that this was the worst reason he had ever heard of in his two lives, no doubt, looking at Anya with a weird look on her face and blushing.
These painters were talking about the names of oil paintings that they couldn't understand at all, and Han Xuan suddenly felt that he was very stupid.
Wearing a mask, others cannot recognize it, and losing the halo of identity, he immediately became a passerby who was not valued, slightly speechless.
The director of the Whitney Art Gallery is also here, and he is here to welcome Baltis.
After saying goodbye to these people, Han Xuan asked questions: "Why didn't you agree to him? A painting costs millions of dollars, right?"
“…Mr. Baltis’ paintings when he was young, many girls didn’t wear clothes.
I don’t want to draw that kind. His paintings have improved a lot in recent years, but they are still exposed.”
"I'll go! Damn it's an old pervert!"
When Han Xuan learned that Baltis wanted Anya to be a naked human body model, he suddenly jumped and burst into pieces and said swearing.
There was a Chinese around him who looked at him with a surprised look, with a Cantonese accent and scolded: "Be civilized abroad, don't swear!"
Han Xuan was stunned. Unexpectedly, he met a tourist who could speak Chinese and immediately bowed: "hi! Private-minded-ma-color n!"
“Ah~
Japanese!
It's really good in Chinese..." (To be continued.)
