What Master Chen and Master Qi said is true. If Wu Daozi's painting skills were casually imitated by future generations, how could he be named a "Painting Saint"!
You must know that Wu Daozi's painting style is his own, and his painting achievements are unparalleled in the world. In terms of ranking, even his ancestor Gu Kaizhi has to succumb to him. This shows his superb painting skills, and more importantly, Wu Daozi himself is a
He created a painting school, which is why he has such a high status in the Chinese painting world!
As far as the two of them know, later generations have amazing brushwork and great painters with outstanding achievements emerge in endlessly, but no one can compare with the painting sage Wu Daozi!
So naturally they don't believe that anyone in this world can imitate Wu Daozi's paintings!
"Have these two masters ever heard of the wonderful painting Hu Busi?!"
Lin Yu asked the two masters with a smile and a calm expression.
"Hu Busi?!"
The two masters looked puzzled, looked at each other, and shook their heads, obviously neither of them had heard of this name.
"Jia Rong, I've heard of it!"
Zhou Chen became excited instantly when he heard Lin Yu's words, and said to Lin Yu extremely excitedly, "You mean, the two paintings on this table are from the masters of traditional Chinese painting from the late Qing Dynasty, and are known as wonderful painters."
The hand of Hu Busi?!"
"Yes, he was very low-profile at the time because of his low-key personality and eccentric personality. In fact, he was the master of Yancao Hall and passed away during the Republic of China. I didn't expect Brother Zhou to know about him!"
Lin Yu nodded towards Zhou Chen and said with some surprise.
"I know, I know, oh, my grandfather kept telling me his stories at that time. He knew this Hu Busi very well and admired him very much. He told me that Hu Busi was a genius in the field of painting. To paraphrase Du Fu's praise of Li Bai
To describe him in poetry, he is like a trembling pen with a storm, and a painting with weeping ghosts and gods. It is a pity that Hu Busi was born in the wrong dynasty. If he was born in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Daozi could equal half of the world of painting!"
Zhou Chen said with great excitement that since he was a child, he had listened to his grandfather telling the story of this "wonderful painter Hu Busi", and his grandfather spoke very highly of Hu Busi! He did not hesitate to praise him!
"It's not like he shares half of the painting world with Wu Daozi, but he is definitely the master among the masters of traditional Chinese painting!"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded at Zhou Chen, then shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, this man has too strict requirements on himself. If the paintings he makes are even slightly flawed or unsatisfactory, he will tear them up on the spot, so
There are very few of his extant works, it can even be said that there are none, and even if there are, those that exist are all fakes imitating the previous dynasty, and they are probably lying quietly in the homes of some rich people!"
A painting of this caliber can definitely be faked, and many people are even willing to pay a high price to buy it even though they know it is fake!
"Yes, my grandfather also told me that this person has a very strange personality!"
Zhou Chen nodded vigorously, "Not many works have been handed down!"
"Mr. He, do you mean to say that these two paintings were painted by Hu Busi, the master of this wonderful painting?!"
Master Chen and Master Qi were stunned by what Lin Yu and Zhou Chen said. They couldn't help but asked with some doubts. If this Hu Busi is really as powerful as Lin Yu said, then what if he imitates the paintings of the painting saint?
It is indeed possible.
"no!"
But what surprised them was that Lin Yu shook his head with a smile, looked at the two paintings on the table and said with a smile, "Although the skill of these two paintings is comparable to that of Hu Busi, they are not by Hu Busi, because I just smelled it carefully."
Through the smell of these two paintings, you can smell a very light smell of ink. It can be seen that these paintings were made recently, only two or three months ago. They were aged by special techniques and became what they are now.
Good quality!"
"Ah? Painted recently?!"
Master Chen and Master Qi's expressions suddenly changed again, and they were shocked. Apparently they didn't expect that they would be blind to this extent!
"The distressing craftsmanship of this painting is very superb. It is understandable that the two masters were deceived by it!"
Lin Yu smiled at them. In fact, not only Master Chen and Master Qi, but also he himself was almost deceived. He looked at the two paintings on the table and continued, "And the most important thing is, we all know
This is a picture of Confucius teaching, but none of us have ever seen the real picture of Confucius teaching. Since we have never seen the real thing, we cannot make a comparison. It is normal to be fooled by a fake with such superb skills.
!”
Master Chen and Master Qi couldn't help but nodded when they heard this, and their expressions softened a bit. Lin Yu's words were on point. They had never seen the original work, so they made inferences based on the few original works of Wu Daozi that had survived in the world.
It is indeed not very careful and mistakes are inevitable.
"Jia Rong, you said that this painting was made recently, that means it is not the work of Master Hu Busi?!"
Zhou Chen said with some surprise, "That means there are still people in the world whose painting skills are comparable to Master Hu Busi?!"
"Yes, if I guess correctly, these two paintings are definitely made by Hu Busi's descendants or apprentices!"
Lin Yu squinted at the picture of Confucius teaching on the table, his eyes stayed on the part of Confucius's finger, and said with a smile, "This person can be said to have learned all Hu Busi's lifelong skills. The painting techniques in some places are even better."
Exactly the same!"
In fact, the reason why he was able to tell that this painting was related to Hu Busi was because he noticed this subtle detail. When painting the characters' fingers, Hu Busi was accustomed to using a brush-picking technique, which can be regarded as one of his personal signature paintings.
The wind, and Hu Busi, a descendant, also learned this technique from him.
"oh?!"
Zhou Chen looked happy and said excitedly, "Hu Busi actually has descendants in this world?!"
"So I said, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for us! It may be an opportunity!"
Lin Yu smiled and said to Zhou Chen, if they could dig out this descendant of Hu Busi, it would definitely be a huge gain for them!
"Yes, if we hire him, we will be prosperous!"
Zhou Chen also understood Lin Yu's thoughts and said excitedly, "With his level, not only can he help us identify fakes, but he can also regularly make some paintings for us for auction. I believe that paintings of this level,
The auction price will definitely not be low, and we will share it with him when the time comes!"
"Oh, this is a good idea!"
When Jiang Jingren heard this, he immediately became excited and extremely excited. If Lin Yu and Zhou Chen invited this person over, then he might be able to ask for a painting from this person. After returning to Qinghai, he would talk to himself
Those "little friends" put on a good show.
Lin Yu was not as excited as the two of them. He turned around and looked at the brush washer on the table with a calm expression, and said, "Since this brush appears together with these two fake paintings, I infer that this wild goose
The Cottage is most likely still there! If we can cooperate with them, it will indeed be very beneficial to our future development!"
Yancaotang's counterfeiting craftsmanship can be said to be one of the best in the world, and Yancaotang can imitate all kinds of treasures and famous products. If Lin Yu and the others can cooperate with Yancaotang, they will even be able to take orders and customize their own products for customers.
imitation handicrafts!
This is a great vertical expansion for their auction house business!
It will also make their company's future development prospects even broader!
Zhou Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said anxiously: "You are right, Jia Rong, if we can compete with Yancaotang..."
He had just finished speaking, then suddenly stopped, suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and said to Lin Yu with a bitter look on his face, "Jiarong, but this, this Yancaotang, has it been with the Great Wall Auction House?"
Are you cooperating there?!"
He was happy for a long time before he finally realized that maybe Yancaotang and the Great Wall Auction House had already established a cooperative relationship. Otherwise, how could the Great Wall Auction House have so many items from Yancaotang?!
"This is not impossible!"
Lin Yu nodded, "But it's also possible that Great Wall just bought these things from Yancaotang at a high price!"
"I hope they don't form an alliance. Otherwise, if they join forces, our newly established company will really be ruined!"
Zhou Chen swallowed hard, looked at Lin Yu as if looking at the last life-saving straw, and said urgently, "Jia Rong, didn't you just tell the person from the Great Wall Auction House that you had a way to deal with them?
