Chapter 1386 The Female Painter Who Let Go
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had been wandering around Barbizon Village for more than an hour, and came to a small gallery in the center of the village, and were admiring the oil paintings displayed in this gallery.
After entering the door and saying hello, the owner of this small gallery stepped aside, allowing Ye Tian and the others to visit by themselves, and did not take the initiative to explain!
Although I am the owner of this gallery and know every painting here very well, the owner of the gallery knows that no matter how high his level is, he cannot compare to the guy who just walked into the gallery.
That's why the owner of the gallery didn't take the initiative to explain.
After stepping aside and standing still, the gallery owner's eyes followed Ye Tian's movement all the time, and a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes from time to time!
As a gallery owner, he doesn't want to be picked up by Ye Tian in the gallery, and become another sad and unlucky guy, and become the object of ridicule by his peers!
However, he couldn't keep Ye Tian and the others out, so he fell into a dilemma, feeling uneasy and flustered!
Ye Tian saw everything about the behavior of the gallery owner, but he didn't take it seriously at all. This kind of situation has long been common to him, and he is no stranger to it!
In the past one hour or so, a group of them strolled along the streets of Barbizon full of art, admiring the beautiful scenery on the street and the famous paintings inlaid on the walls on both sides of the street intoxicated!
Of course, these paintings are not original works, but collaged with mosaics. Most of them are representative masterpieces of the Barbizon School, and occasionally there are masterpieces of Corot and Impressionism!
While admiring the beauty of the streets, they will also walk into the galleries and antique shops that appear from time to time, and enjoy the paintings and other antique artworks displayed in those galleries and antique shops with great interest.
This is indeed a world-famous art village. In those galleries and antique shops, almost every one has several valuable antique artworks, which can also be said to be the treasure of the town!
It's a pity that Ye Tian knows those antique works of art and understands their value, and the operators of those galleries and antique shops are the same, their eyesight and appreciation level are quite good!
Whenever Ye Tian walked into galleries and antique shops and looked at those valuable antique artworks, the operators of the galleries and antique shops would stare at him like a thief, without exception!
When Ye Tian asked for a price, those guys would basically offer a sky-high price, which made people dumbfounded.
It's even ridiculous!
Through this behavior, those gallery and antique store operators implicitly told Ye Tian that there is nothing to miss here! We're not those idiots from the flea market in Saint-Ouen, who can let you ransack like crazy!
As for other antique works of art, although Ye Tian found some objects that were neglected by gallery operators and antique shop owners, those objects did not impress him and made him sell for them!
Therefore, after wandering around Barbizon Village for more than an hour, Ye Tian still found nothing and his hands were empty. This kind of situation was not common in the past!
But Betty and the others got something. Everyone bought a few souvenirs and carried them in their hands. They were very happy!
This small gallery in front of them is already the sixth gallery that Ye Tian and the others have entered. Like many galleries before, this gallery is small, but the artworks displayed in it are quite good!
At this time, apart from the boss and a clerk, there were only Ye Tian and his party in the gallery, and there were no other tourists who came to visit. It was very quiet!
After shaking hands with the owner of the gallery and saying hello, Ye Tian and the others began to appreciate by themselves, admiring the beautiful paintings hanging on the walls and display shelves!
Three to five minutes later, Ye Tian and the others came to an oil painting on canvas and stopped in their tracks to appreciate it.
This is a portrait of a human body. It depicts a mature woman with her back to the viewer, with a plump body and exquisite curves. She is standing in front of the mirror and looking at herself with a lazy look!
Although her back is facing the audience, the mirror in front of her perfectly shows her beautiful face and ample breasts!
The reason why it is said that she is almost full is because her buttocks are covered with a white gauze, which subtly conceals her plump buttocks, which is full of imagination!
When looking at this oil painting for the first time, many people will feel that the lines on the picture are a bit blunt, and the characters are strong and rough, with rough skin, no elegance at all, and even a little rude, even presumptuous!
Starting from these characteristics, people can easily come to the conclusion that this painter's painting techniques should be immature, and he may be an unknown painter, or even an amateur painter!
However, if you calm down and appreciate this painting carefully, you will soon discover the beauty of this painting and discover its unusualness!
Through those seemingly blunt lines and warm tones, the viewer can clearly feel a strong vitality, strong and vigorous!
Through the image of the female body that is not elegant, and even a bit outrageous, the viewer can feel a kind of sharpness that reaches people's hearts, like a blade!
Standing in front of the painting, Ye Tian and the others felt attracted by the oil painting, and all admired it seriously.
After a while, Anderson said in a low voice:
"Steven, let me explain this oil painting to everyone. This oil painting feels very strange, but I can't tell you exactly where it is strange."
"Yes, I feel the same way!"
Lisa, who was standing behind, agreed, her eyes full of doubts.
Ye Tian turned to look at them, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, let me explain this oil painting to everyone. You feel that this painting is a bit strange, but it is normal. The artist who created this oil painting is a very strange existence in itself!
If you want to understand this oil painting, you must first understand the artist himself. The creator of this oil painting is the famous French female painter, Suzanne Valadon. She may be the most unrestrained painter in the history of art!
When she was young, Suzanne Valadon was beautiful, fanatical and unrestrained. She was once a smash hit in the dance halls and studios of Montmartre. She was the painter lover of countless big-name artists and was very famous in the art circle!
At the same time, she is also the most famous female model in the late nineteenth century. We can see the image of Susanna in the representative works of many top art masters. In this regard, she is eternal!
Numerous great artists have worshiped under her pomegranate skirt, among them is the master of symbolist painting Chavanne, which is the beginning of Suzanne's modeling career, so good luck has always been with her!
In Chavanner's masterpiece "White Rock Town", the model is Suzanne, and the image of Suzanne can also be seen in many other works. After Chavanna, it is Renoir, one of the main impressionists!
In Renoir's masterpieces "Girl with Braids" and "The Dancer at Bougifford", the models painted are Susanna, and there are many portraits and nude paintings, all of which are Susanna.
Lautrec, a famous Post-Impressionist painter known as the soul of Montmartre, also couldn't resist Suzanne's fiery passion. Following Renoir, he also became the guest of Suzanne.
She later became a disciple of Degas, and Susanna spent almost every afternoon at Degas's house. If she did not see Susanna for several days in a row, Degas would send a housekeeper to her house to call her.
It can be said that in the last two decades of the nineteenth century, Suzanne was one of the most famous women in the French art circle. She maintained an affair with countless great artists, and countless people were crazy about her!
But Suzanne is not a vase, or a parasite that depends on great artists for survival. In the process of interacting with those great artists, she learned a lot and eventually became a painter!
Later, under the guidance and influence of Suzanne, her son Maurice Utrilo also embarked on the road of painting and became one of the few famous French landscape painters in the 20th century.
In terms of artistic achievements, although Suzanne is a talented female painter, she is far inferior to her own son, let alone those famous and top art masters who came into the scene.
In the history of Western art, Suzanne's long-standing romantic affairs and her status as the mother of Maurice Utrillo are more famous than her status as a female painter.
To be famous in Suzanne's way and become an eternal person, to be honest, I have only seen such a person, and there is no other person except her. She is really a very strange woman! "
"Hahaha"
There was a chuckle at the scene, and Betty and the others laughed and shook their heads lightly.
