The Lawrence family is an old art collecting family in Eagle Country. It has been involved in the art collection market hundreds of years ago. The family has collected countless world masterpieces.
Decades ago, the Lawrence family even invested in several large art investment companies and had a strong voice in the international collection market.
The blue-eyed Lawrence in front of me is named Al. He is one of the successors trained by the Lawrence family of this generation. He holds double doctorates from the University of Benedictine and Stanford University, and his main field is art appreciation.
Even though Al is only in his thirties, he is much younger than many internationally renowned appraisers. However, with the support of his family's background, he has also become famous recently and has done several major things that shocked the collecting circle.
For example, three years ago, Al pulled out all the stops at a Sotheby's auction and took away the famous painting "The Man on a Swing" from the Childe family, a collection of magnates in the United States, and successfully made his name.
And last year, Al did something that almost overturned the collecting circle. He uncovered the "King of Counterfeiters" Betterlage, who specializes in forging masterpieces!
Betterage is a painter with extremely high artistic talent. He has been good at imitating other people's works since he was a child. As an adult, he began to imitate the paintings of celebrities, such as Picasso, Van Gogh and many other painters.
Betterlage figured out the characteristics of each painter, used these characteristics to create new paintings, and then her wife made up various bizarre stories and sold them to eager customers.
In just ten years, Betterlage sold dozens of forgeries, among which the five most valuable works were sold for as much as 500 million gold!
What’s even more amazing is that some of Betterlage’s forgeries are even hung in museums in some countries!
It was such a king of counterfeiters who finally fell into Al's hands.
Al became famous in one fell swoop and was even selected as a member of the International Art Appreciation Committee some time ago.
Although some people think that Al was able to join the committee because of his family background, most people admit that he does have visible talent and is a rising future star in the collecting world.
At this moment, Al looked excited, opened the box with trembling hands, and took out the paintings and calligraphy inside.
"I never thought that I would see this kind of work full of infinite artistic power in my life. Even after seeing it, I always suspected that it was a dream. On the plane back from China, I kept holding this box tightly.
, for fear that it will be slightly shaken. Now, I can finally share it with everyone." As he spoke, Al gently stroked the calligraphy and painting scroll, with a very serious and pious expression on his face.
"Open it quickly!"
"Stop being so pretentious."
"Come and show us what kind of amazing work it is."
Everyone shouted eagerly.
"Okay, okay, let me now let you appreciate what a peerless treasure is." Al unfolded the calligraphy and painting scroll, and a shocking calligraphy appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"The advent of what love is"!
The simple seven words, presented in front of everyone, had an extremely terrifying impact and appeal, making everyone's heads buzz.
"What kind of calligraphy is this?"
Although most of the people present are foreigners, there are many Chinese experts who are extremely proficient in the art of Chinese calligraphy and painting, and there are also experts such as the art professor of Benchong University. Even those who are not familiar with the art are all proficient in the art.
A master of appreciation.
The moment they saw the words, they were as shocked as if they had been shot.
There were gasps in the audience, and many people even had their eyes straightened, completely shocked by the mystery of this calligraphy.
Although this was not the first time that Al saw this picture, when his eyes fell on it, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He thought again of his girlfriend in college. The two of them had spent a month and a half making an oath to each other, believing that the other was the one and only in their lives.
But due to various reasons, they had to separate in the end.
A few years later, when Al finally felt that he had the ability to bring happiness to his girlfriend, he waited at his girlfriend's door with flowers in his hands, but what he saw was his girlfriend cuddling with others.
The advent of what love is?
Joseph, who had just completed the transaction with Li Xuan, stood at the outermost edge of the crowd. He was also very proficient in the art of Chinese calligraphy, and especially liked cursive script. His favorite was Zhang Xu's cursive script.
When Al blew up the calligraphy, Joseph actually didn't care too much. In his opinion, only cursive script was the essence of Chinese magic, and only cursive script was in line with the wild and romantic self in his heart.
As the words slowly unfolded, he realized that it was not cursive, and Joseph had lost most of his interest.
But as the words were revealed bit by bit, Joseph was also dumbfounded.
He thought of his wife who had just died of cancer last year. They had been together when they were poor students. In order to support Joseph's collection business, his wife had to work three jobs a day to support the family expenses.
Later, when Joseph became successful in his career, all kinds of things at home fell on his wife, but she did not complain at all.
For many years, Joseph was busy with his career and did not even have time to give his wife some care. He always thought that it would be too late to retire when he made enough money and enjoy life with his wife.
Unexpectedly, before Joseph could retire, his wife was diagnosed with a terminal illness and finally fell asleep peacefully in his arms.
Thinking of this, tears burst into Joseph's eyes and he couldn't stop them.
The advent of what love is?
Some others understand Chinese calligraphy, and some do not, but human beings have a common appreciation of art, a common pursuit of beauty, and a common emotion.
These words have transcended cultural barriers and racial differences, impacting everyone's brain and heart, making everyone unable to help but want to ask the same question and want to know the answer to the question.
Li Xuan was also a little surprised.
what happened?
What Al said was the best, was this calligraphy?
Isn't this the same calligraphy I wrote temporarily when I was in Haidu a few days ago to exchange for the guide map of the immortal?
At that time, this picture was exchanged for the man wearing the Mickey Mouse mask. How did it fall into the hands of Lawrence and cross the ocean to the Eagle Country?
Li Xuan was shocked and couldn't help but laugh or cry. Isn't this a coincidence?
At this time, after all, Al had seen it and his resistance was stronger than the others. He was the first to wake up from his trance and said proudly: "Everyone, what do you think of this work?"
Everyone seemed to be waking up from a dream, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Fantastic!"
“It was even more shocking than the first time I saw the real Mona Lisa.”
“I finally understand the beauty of Chinese calligraphy!”
"It's such a wonderful feeling, I actually recalled my first love..."
There is no need to answer anymore, everyone's reaction has already explained everything.
