Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Chinese Modern Art Exhibition Hall was opened.
After a period of publicity, the exhibition was held on a weekend, so not many people came to visit, but definitely not few.
Not long after the exhibition hall opened, leaders from the Hong Kong Office, the Ministry of Culture, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the National Academy of Fine Arts and other academies of fine arts walked in accompanied by a group of people.
Zhang Junping knows these people, and they are all relatively famous artists in Xiangjiang.
As an otaku artist, if you ask Zhang Junping to name the leaders of various countries in the world or the leaders of the country, he may not be able to name them.
I don’t even know who the resident mayor and secretary is.
However, these older generation artists and relatively famous inheritors of handicrafts are all familiar to them.
It’s not that they are all treasures, but at least you can recognize them when you meet them, know their artistic achievements, and know some general life experiences.
For example, among the artists here today, the first one is Lin Fengmian.
This person's artistic achievements may not be the highest among these people, but his status in the art circle is definitely very high.
And he has a very awesome apprentice, that is Wu Guanzhong.
Parallel to Lin Fengmian, another old man is Jao Zongyi.
He is also an old artist with a high artistic status. He is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. He is as famous as Qian Zhongshu and Ji Xianlin. He is known as "Nan Rao Bei Qian" and "Nan Rao Bei Ji".
Both of them are professors at the Art Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Behind them were some lecturers and students from the Art Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
As the core work of this art exhibition, Zhang Junping's works are placed in the most conspicuous position.
“Not bad, really good!
Combining ancient freehand brushwork and fine brushwork, it has the charm of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". These paintings have Zhang Zeduan's five successful qualities.
I wonder which artist created it?" Lin Fengmian looked at the city trilogy painted by Zhang Junping and praised it.
"Well, these three paintings are all good, especially the third one is full of imagination." Jao Zongyi also nodded and praised.
"Hello, Mr. Rao! Hello, Mr. Lin!" Zhang Junping stepped forward and bowed slightly to Rao Zongyi and Lin Fengmian, "This is a student's work. There are many shortcomings. Please give me some advice, Mr. Rao and Mr. Lin."
Rao Zongyi and Lin Fengmian were of high seniority, and even Yang Mingde had to perform discipleship rituals when they saw them.
“I didn’t expect that it was actually a young student!
Haha...ha!" Lin Fengmian was obviously stunned when he saw Zhang Junping, and then laughed happily.
No one understood why Lin Fengmian was laughing, so they could only smile to accompany him.
After he stopped laughing, Lin Fengmian spoke again: "You are so young and have this kind of skill. My future achievements will be limitless.
It is really gratifying and congratulatory for us Chinese to have another great painter like Beihong!"
This rating is not a low one.
Just this comment from Lin Fengmian can cause the price of Zhang Junping's calligraphy and paintings to skyrocket.
"Mr. Lin, you are so grateful! How dare student He De compare with Mr. Daqian and Mr. Beihong?" Zhang Junping smiled modestly and said calmly.
"No, what Lao Lin said is not an exaggeration at all!
With this calm attitude alone, my future achievements will definitely be no less than those of Mr. Daqian and Mr. Beihong.
I wonder who my little friend’s teacher is?” Rao Zongyi nodded to Zhang Junping and asked gently.
"Mr. Lin, Xiao Zhang's masters are Mr. Yang Mingde and Mr. Liu Manning from CAFA." Jin Shangyi introduced from the side.
"It's the two of them!" Lin Fengmian nodded suddenly, "These two are so lucky to have such a good disciple.
I just didn't expect that Manning would also accept a disciple.
Looking at these paintings, the child can be regarded as getting the true biography of Mingde.
I just don’t know how many of Manning’s skills I have learned?” Hearing that Zhang Junping was the apprentice of Yang Mingde and Liu Manning, Lin Fengmian smiled a little more on his face and felt a little more nostalgic, and asked Zhang Junping cheerfully.
"Students are frightened. Although they have become teachers, they have not yet had time to learn the master's skills."
"Mr. Rao, Mr. Lin's giant wood sculpture is also Xiao Zhang's work. It was created under the guidance of Mr. Liu.
It can be said that it is a magnificent work created by combining the strengths of Dean Yang and Mr. Liu." Jin Shangyi was very happy and introduced the giant wood sculpture to Zhang Junping next to him.
This Hong Kong art exchange delegation is not the only one participating in the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
There are also participants from several famous domestic art academies such as Gome, Western America, and Sichuan Fine Arts.
Gome refers to the China Academy of Art.
Ximei is Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts.
Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is Sichuan Fine Arts Institute.
Central America and the United States are old enemies.
It is somewhat similar to the relationship between Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Now, Zhang Junping's work has won the first place and has been praised repeatedly by Lin Fengmian and Jao Zongyi, beating other universities. Jin Shangyi is naturally happy.
“This wood carving is indeed magnificent in size, and its skill is much improved compared to the previous paintings.
The conversion and fusion of freehand brushwork and gongbi are more natural and smooth, and the knife skills are also very exquisite.
It's just that, Xiao Jin, what you said about merging the strengths of Xiao Yang and Manning, I..." Rao Zongyi paused mid-sentence, stretched out his hand behind him, "Magnifying glass!"
Someone immediately handed Jao a magnifying glass behind him.
Rao Tsung-i took the magnifying glass, leaned down and looked carefully.
Lin Fengmian also asked for a magnifying glass and bent down to look carefully.
Some other artists followed suit and used magnifying glasses to view giant wood sculptures.
After a while, Jao Zongyi and Lin Fengmian straightened up, put down their magnifying glasses, and looked at Zhang Junping with intense eyes.
“This is a masterpiece that will be passed down from generation to generation!”
“This piece of work can be passed down from generation to generation!”
The two people spoke almost at the same time.
This evaluation is really too high, so high that Zhang Junping was a little excited.
"Zhang...Classmate Zhang, I don't know if you are willing to part with this wood carving work. Our Xiangjiang University is willing to pay 1 million Hong Kong dollars to collect this work." A middle-aged beautiful woman in her forties suddenly stood up and said to Zhang Junping.
said.
Before Zhang Junping could refuse, Lin Fengmian refused on Zhang Junping's behalf: "Xiao Gao, this is the apprentice of Xiao Yang and Manning. If you really want to collect it, show some sincerity."
The beautiful middle-aged woman with a bookish temperament looked at Lin Fengmian in confusion.
One million Hong Kong dollars, isn’t sincerity enough?
It would be 400,000 yuan when converted into RMB.
"Thank you, Ms. Gao, for your support. I have no intention of selling this wood carving.
Although Mr. Rao and Mr. Lin both gave high praise, I think I still have a lot of room for improvement.
Therefore, I will keep this wood carving work and continue to study it." Zhang Junping politely declined.
Just wanting to collect his works for one million Hong Kong dollars is simply a joke.
Just the four-character evaluation of this masterpiece by two people, Jao Tsung-i and Lin Fengmian, is worth more than one million Hong Kong dollars.
