Abstract Expressionism, an important American painting school that emerged in the 1950s, is also considered the first American painting school with international influence.
It expresses emotions in an abstract way, boldly uses color, and creates as you like.
In abstract expressionist paintings, no specific image can be found, and the content of the painting is just pure form and color.
Abstract Expressionism has two forms of expression, one emphasizing power and movement and full of passion; the other is purer abstraction, giving people a sense of tranquility.
Jackson Pollock, the most outstanding representative of abstract expressionism in the 20th century, one of the founders of American abstract painting, and a pioneer of "action painting".
In 1947, Pollock began to use the "drip painting method" for artistic creation.
He pinned the canvas to the floor or wall, then splashed paint randomly on the canvas and let it drip on the canvas, creating the effect of criss-crossing abstract lines.
When creating, Pollock did not plan in advance, nor did he have a fixed position. He liked to move around the canvas at will, using repeated and unconscious movements to create a complex and difficult-to-discern network with chaotic lines.
The composition design of this kind of painting has no center, the structure is unrecognizable, and has distinctive characteristics of abstract expressionism, so it is called abstract expressionism painting.
Pollock's free-spirited, formless abstract painting style appropriately embodies the American spirit of opposing restraint and advocating freedom, and also reflects the painter's amazing creativity!
The full-frame composition style and the fact that the work becomes a direct record of the painter's behavior dominated by emotions more fully demonstrates the novelty and originality of this painting style.
The fundamental significance of Pollock's paintings is to get rid of all constraints and pursue extreme freedom and openness. It promotes the development of bold creative consciousness.
The 1950s was the peak period of Pollock's artistic career. He created many famous paintings, all of which are regarded as classics in art history.
These paintings also won him great reputation, making him the world's top artist and praised by countless people in later generations.
However, Pollock's paintings were not recognized and accepted by people at first. Many people could not understand his works at all and did not understand what those chaotic lines and colors expressed!
As time went by, people gradually recognized the artistic value and special significance of these paintings and began to pursue them enthusiastically. His works also increased and their prices continued to soar.
Today, Pollock's abstract expressionist paintings have become the top art works, extremely expensive and hard to find!
The latest transaction record is US$200 million. The painting "17A" was created in 1948 and was acquired by a famous billionaire collector in the United States.
This record-breaking transaction was conducted privately. If it were sent to auction, in a competitive environment, it is likely to fetch a higher price!
At this moment, in front of Ye Tian was a painting from Pollock's peak period, which made him start to think about it, letting his imagination run wild like a wild horse!
One hundred million dollars? Two hundred million dollars? Or a higher $300 million? Any price range is possible!
While letting his imagination run wild, Ye Tian was also appreciating this top-notch work of art, feeling the charm of abstract expressionist art, and experiencing Pollock's unbridled imagination and creativity.
The first impression this painting gives people is that it is a mess! My eyes are full of chaotic colors and lines, and I can't see the reason at all, let alone appreciate the charm of art.
But after looking at it a few more times, Ye Tian gradually discovered the beauty in the chaos, felt the charm of this painting, and felt the amazing imagination.
The screen is filled with criss-crossing, boundless lines and colors.
The lines are randomly swayed, without any rules to follow. There are only three colors, black, white and red. There is no distinction between primary and secondary. They are interlaced and overlapped throughout the entire canvas.
Although the canvas display space is limited, only 120*150, the lines and colors in the picture are not limited.
The visual experience they bring to people seems to continue to extend and spread outwards, with no end in sight!
Ye Tian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his gaze was firmly fixed on the painting. He seemed to have entered a three-dimensional space and was roaming freely in it.
After more than ten seconds, Ye Tianfang woke up!
The moment he woke up, he immediately sighed secretly.
"No wonder it is hailed as the most eye-catching new invention in painting space after the analytical cubism of Picasso and Braque. It really deserves its reputation!"
This is the most top-notch work of art, its value is immeasurable, there is no doubt about it!
Ye Tian temporarily stopped admiring it. Now is not the time. When this abstract expressionist masterpiece truly belongs to him, he can enjoy it and celebrate it as much as he wants!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian began to search for other relevant information on the surface of the painting, such as the name of the painting, the artist's signature, the year of creation, etc.
No information was found on the surface of the painting, but in the lower right corner of the back of the canvas, he found what he wanted, a very clear set of text information.
"Pollock, "Autumn Colors, No. 20", 1950"
"Awesome!"
Ye Tian clenched his fists suddenly and cheered secretly!
There is no doubt that this painting is definitely qualified to become one of Pollock's masterpieces. It was created at the same time as the famous "Autumn Melody, No. 30".
These powerful written messages will undoubtedly double the value of this painting, and it is not impossible to create a new transaction record for Pollock's works!
All the situations have been grasped and it’s time to take action!
We must win this oil painting, and there must be no room for error!
Then, he reluctantly withdrew his clairvoyant gaze, slightly adjusted his breathing and emotions, turned around firmly, and looked at the stall owner behind him with a smile.
"I like this oil painting very much. Please give me a price. If the price is right, I am ready to buy it! This is a good decoration!"
The stall owner's eyes immediately flashed with joy, and he immediately quoted the price.
"That's great! Steven, I didn't expect you to like this painting "Morning on Lake Erie". You have good taste. You also know the price of Jack Blair's works. For $25,000, you can take this painting away. Oil painting! "
The price is relatively fair and the water content is not high, but Ye Tian still responded with a price.
“This painting is too big to fit in the SUV. If I want to take it back to New York, I have to dismantle the frame and reinstall it when I get back to New York.
Moreover, the classic picture frame does not match the style of my apartment. I am going to replace it, which will increase the cost a lot, so I offer $22,000. You can consider it.
If you can accept it, the deal can be done now. Cash, check, or bank transfer are all acceptable. You also need to provide a painting tube long enough for me to take this oil painting away! "
The reason why Ye Tian said this was because he had considered it.
This Pollock work is too important, too expensive, and has disappeared from public view for too long, nearly fifty or sixty years! Who knows what story is hidden behind it!
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes, its discovery process must be made public and completely separate itself!
In this way, even if this is a stolen famous painting, the FBI will have no excuse to cause trouble for him, and he will not suffer any loss. At most, he will be happy in vain!
Of course, it is extremely unlikely that this is a stolen famous painting. At least Ye Tian has never seen the name of this painting in the stolen art catalog, but there is no harm in being cautious and prepared!
There are so many media reporters, Alabama police and FBI agents on site, as well as stall owners selling oil paintings. This is undoubtedly the best place to discover!
As long as I create this famous painting here, the news will immediately spread throughout the entire collecting world. From now on, no one will be able to question my ownership of this famous painting!
By the way, I can shine again and make others envious to death!
The stall owner was silent and began to consider the price given by Ye Tian.
After five or six seconds, he made his decision.
Accept this price, sell this oil painting, and bring the most successful ending to your trip to Corridor 127!
But he knew that what he was about to draw was an extremely huge exclamation mark, one that would make him regret his whole life!
"OK! $22,000, deal! As long as you pay, this painting "Morning on Lake Erie" will be yours. Cash transaction is best. I like the green Franklin and the feeling of counting banknotes!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and smiled brightly.
"Great! Deal, I love this painting, thank you for bringing it to Birmingham, pay now, all brand new Franklin!"
Ye Tian said excitedly, shaking hands with the stall owner to seal the deal.
Then, he took out 22,000 US dollars from his backpack and handed it to the stall owner, completing the last part of the transaction.
After receiving the payment, the stall owner immediately started counting, with an excited smile on his face.
Ye Tianze walked excitedly to the oil painting and gently touched the painting with his hand. His movements were very gentle, just like touching Betty's smooth skin.
But his eyes under his sunglasses were extremely bright, full of enthusiasm and excitement.
This is my buddy’s Pollock, making a fortune!
After cheering secretly, he immediately whispered through the headphones:
"Walker, come here and do me a favor. Let's carry this oil painting out. It's too big! It's not light."
"Okay!"
Walker responded in a low voice and walked over immediately.
Then, the two of them took down the oil painting, carried it out of the stall, and placed it on the ground outside.
Ye Tian chose a spacious and dry place, where he planned to dismantle the frame and let the Pollock hidden inside come to light, shocking the entire courtyard market! Shock the entire art collection market!
The stall owner quickly counted the money, put 22,000 US dollars into his pocket under the envious eyes of other stall owners, and then walked over with a telescopic painting tube.
"Steven, this is the painting tube you want. You really plan to dismantle the frame! What a pity. This is a classic oak frame and is worth a lot of money!"
"No way, I want to take this oil painting back to New York, so I have to dismantle the frame. If you like the frame, you can keep them. I don't plan to take it away!"
Ye Tian pretended to be helpless and said, his performance was very good.
At the same time, he also gave the stall owner a little sweetness, so that the old man would not regret it later and just pass over!
"That's great! Thank you, you are such a generous guy!"
The stall owner said excitedly, smiling happily.
This oak picture frame is of excellent material, excellent carving, huge size, and has a history of fifty or sixty years. It is also an antique and is indeed worth a little money. It is an unexpected surprise. Of course he is very happy!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, indicating that the stall owner was welcome.
Then he said through the earphone:
"Anderson, Raymond, come over here. I want to dismantle this picture frame and need help. Others continue to scan the goods, so move quickly!"
"Okay! We'll be right over!"
Anderson and Raymond responded in unison, and then walked towards this side, carrying two antiques in their hands.
Ye Tian called them here not just to help him, but also for a deeper purpose!
As a lawyer, Anderson must be present to witness the discovery of Pollock's paintings, while Raymond can strengthen security to prevent unexpected situations.
The two people quickly walked over and stood on both sides of Ye Tian, preparing to help him dismantle the picture frame.
Seeing Anderson and Raymond coming over, several stall owners who came to watch the excitement were dumbfounded, as if they were struck by lightning!
These guys who are crazy about buying goods are actually the subordinates of that **** Steven. Is everyone being plotted?
The answer is obviously a resounding yes?
Doesn’t that mean that all the things these guys bought just now are antiques or works of art? This is crazy! It's so hateful!
No need to ask, this must be a robbery planned by that **** Steven! That **** **** is a robber and a liar and should be cut to pieces!
The anger boiled instantly, and the eyes of several stall owners turned red. They stared at Ye Tian with such hatred that their teeth almost broke!
