The top view of the art museum is roughly L-shaped, with the long side longer and the short side shorter. The distribution of internal corridors follows scientific design to provide the audience with smooth viewing lines.
The navigation hall where I am now is located at right angles to L.
On the first floor are several mobile exhibition halls, which were used to provide services to freelance artists. In addition, there is an event hall.
On the second floor are several permanent exhibition halls, used to display Vincent Van Ning's own paintings.
The third floor is actually an attic, less than half the area of the first and second floors, and is used for staff offices and storage of supplies.
The mobile exhibition hall on the first floor that I plan to go to now is the long end of the L-shape.
He walked through the reception desk and stepped over the metal pillars holding the cordon - they had been used to separate the audience and provide routing.
While walking, illuminate the walls and windows with a lantern.
The walls are empty, with occasional graffiti that has not been removed, or stains like water flowing into the lantern's aperture.
The musty smell mixed with the rancid smell is getting stronger and stronger.
Do you want to continue in this direction? Fan Ning is really worried.
"It's been too long, and the atmosphere in this museum is completely different from the atmosphere in my memory."
He began to complain a little about why he came here alone. Would it be better to ask Sheeran to accompany him?
Well, the doors and windows of this place have been locked tightly for two or three years, so there won't be anything there.
After calming down, Fan Ning walked around the corner of the corridor and came to a place with a wider view. Fan Ning was dumbfounded.
Under the weak light of the lantern, the field of vision is filled with easels, picture frames, tables and benches, as well as dismantled doors and windows, as well as plaster bodies stuffed in the gaps: portraits, geometric objects, fruit models, and facial features models.
All kinds of sundries were piled almost as high as our own people.
Although the visibility is less than three or four meters, it is estimated to be the same from a distance.
If you still want to move forward, you have to climb mountains and ridges
This gave Fan Ning a good reason to retreat, and he returned immediately.
This floor is a mobile exhibition hall for freelance artists. There must be nothing there now, so let’s go to the second floor.
After a lot of twists and turns, we finally returned to the guide hall.
The unpleasant stench does seem to be reduced, but the musty smell is also reduced. I cannot rule out that it is because my sense of smell has gradually adapted.
Fan Ning changed his route and walked to the right side of the guide hall.
"The large dark space in the distance should have been the former event hall and auction house. There is nothing interesting to see."
He chose to climb the angled stairs. The handrails had fallen off in large pieces, and the curled steel bars on one side of the steps were exposed.
“The quality has only been worrying for a few years.”
After climbing to the second floor, he felt much more at ease.
Because the second floor is where I used to live, and the strange smell has almost disappeared.
The long end of the L-shape on the left is the permanent exhibition hall of my father's works, and the other side is the office, reception room, negotiation room, living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc.
He walked to the left hand side of the stairs with familiarity.
Holding a lantern, I walked slowly through the dim gallery, passed through several exhibition halls, and soon reached the top of the L-shape.
The corridor is like a tunnel, with light licking the deep space in front and leaving darkness behind.
"I've seen this place before!" Fan Ning suddenly felt in his heart.
Not because I came here often before, but in a dream!
Isn't this the dream about the corridor that I have had often in recent days?
Except for the two sides, there are not hollowed-out glass windows and displays, but oil paintings.
Although many of the works on the second floor have been sold, more are still hanging on the walls, one by one extending forward.
"Every time I approach the end of the corridor, my thoughts wander and I go to other dreams."
What is at the end?
Fan Ning looked at the deepest darkness and felt his heart pounding.
He couldn't help but list some possible situations in his mind, familiar, strange, dangerous, surprising, scary, or some indescribable scene.
But I feel like my imagination is being restricted by something.
one step, two steps
Fan Ning stretched the lantern in his hand as far forward as possible, and finally illuminated the wall at the end.
Okay, or painting?
There are seven oil paintings hanging on the wall in front of you, of different sizes and heights, arranged in a patchwork manner.
The layout is somewhat similar to the decorative style on the walls that Fan Ning saw in some artsy cafes in his previous life.
The first thing that attracts attention is naturally the largest one.
Fan Ning brought the lantern closer.
The colors of the countryside, fields, trees, and mountains rotate enthusiastically, and a warm breeze seems to be flowing in the air.
"About the Air Currents and Warmth of the Fields", 90x140 cm, oil on canvas, painted by Vincent Fan Ning in May 894 of the New Calendar.
This work is a representative work of Vincent's further exploration on the basis of romanticism. It is called the "suggestive flow" style in the art world: through the comprehensive use of composition, color and brushstrokes, the audience can "imagine" something beyond the limitations of the plane.
Other elements of sex.
This style later even had an impact on the music industry. The young composer Virgil, born in 880, openly stated that the orchestral suite "Dynamic Trifold" he composed a few years ago was inspired by the "suggestive flow".
But generally speaking, they are still new things outside the mainstream romantic art style.
Fan Ning moved the lantern while recalling.
In the second picture, only half of the female face is included in the frame, with one eye staring at the viewer. "Worry", 30x40 cm, watercolor on canvas.
The third picture, the dark green moon shines through the clouds, illuminating the outline of the dark river bed, and the river water shines with sparkling light waves. 70x90 cm, oil on canvas
Wait, isn't this the painting "Moonlight on the Dnieper River" by the Russian artist Kuinzhi in his previous life?
Fan Ning used a lantern to illuminate the lower right corner. There is no signature or a small patch with the title of the work written on it.
Although the size and details have changed to some extent, the original characteristics of this painting are too obvious.
Painted by father Vincent?
Is he also a time traveler?
Or a coincidence?
Fan Ning feels that everything he experiences is surrounded by mysteries.
The original owner of these paintings, Carloun, had seen them before, but he certainly could not recognize the origin of this one.
"Suggestion Flow" Fan Ning looked at the largest painting "About the Air Current and Warmth of the Field".
What was my father hinting to me?
etc!
"Moonlight on the Dnieper River"
Moonlight night, moonlight night, moon, moonlight? It’s easy to associate
"Moonlight Sonata"?
Beethoven's "Moonlight" Piano Sonata in C sharp minor?
C sharp!? The only missing tonality in the eleven tone series fragments?
Time travel text messages, audio fragments, past life works, art museum keys...
Sure enough there is a connection.
Fan Ning's arm holding the lantern was sore and swollen. He changed his hand and shook it twice more.
Staring at "Moonlight on the Dnieper River", my brows furrowed tightly.
Suddenly, he put the lantern on the ground, stood on tiptoes, stretched out his hands, and without any hesitation
