In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had been wandering around Barbizon Village for more than an hour and arrived at a small gallery in the center of the village, where they were admiring the oil paintings displayed in the gallery.
After entering and saying hello, the owner of this small gallery stepped aside and allowed Ye Tian and others to visit on their own without taking the initiative to explain!
Although he is the operator of this gallery and knows every painting here very well, the gallery owner 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 gallery owner didn’t take the initiative to explain. It would be tantamount to trying to do the same thing, and he might make some embarrassing jokes!
After stepping aside and standing still, the gallery owner's eyes followed Ye Tian without leaving any trace, and from time to time a trace of worry would flash in the depths of his eyes!
As a gallery operator, he didn’t want to be picked up by Ye Tian in the gallery and become another miserable unlucky guy and the object of ridicule by his peers!
However, he could not shut out Ye Tian and the others, so he was in a dilemma, feeling uneasy and anxious!
Ye Tian saw all the gallery owner's behavior, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He had been used to this kind of situation for a long time, and he was not surprised at all!
For more than an hour, the group of them strolled through the artistic streets of Barbizon, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and the famous paintings inlaid on the walls on both sides of the street!
Of course, these paintings are not original works, but mosaic collages. Most of them are representative masterpieces of the Barbizon School, and occasionally there are masterpieces by Corot and the Impressionists!
While admiring the beautiful scenery on the streets, they will also walk into galleries and antique shops that pop up from time to time, admiring with interest the paintings and other antique artworks displayed in those galleries and antique shops.
This is indeed a world-famous art village. In the galleries and antique shops, almost every one has several pieces of valuable antique art, which can also be said to be the treasures of the store!
It is a pity that Ye Tian knows those antique works of art and understands their value. The same goes for those operators of galleries and antique shops. Their eyesight and appreciation level are quite good!
Whenever Ye Tian walks into galleries and antique shops and looks at those valuable antique works of art, the gallery and antique shop operators will stare at him as if they are guarding against thieves, without exception!
When Ye Tian opens his mouth to inquire, those guys will basically offer a sky-high price, which will make people dumbfounded and even make them laugh!
Through this behavior, those gallery and antique shop operators implicitly told Ye Tian that there is nothing to be missed here! We are not those idiots at the Santouan flea market, and we can let you guys loot like crazy!
As for other antique artworks, although Ye Tian found some objects that were ignored by gallery operators and antique shop owners, those objects could not impress him enough to make him take action for them!
So, after wandering around Barbizon Village for more than an hour, Ye Tian still found nothing and had nothing in his hands. This situation was not common in the past!
Betty and the others have gained something. Everyone bought a few souvenirs and each carried them in their hands, happily!
The small gallery in front of them is already the sixth gallery that Ye Tian and the others have walked into. Like many galleries before it, although this gallery is small, the art displayed in it is quite good!
At this time, apart from the boss and a clerk, there were only Ye Tian and his party in the gallery. There were no other tourists coming to visit. It was very quiet!
After shaking hands with the gallery owner and saying hello, Ye Tian and the others started admiring the beautiful paintings hanging on the walls and display shelves!
Three or five minutes later, Ye Tian and the others came to an oil painting on canvas and stopped to admire it.
This is a portrait of a human body. It depicts a nearly full-grown mature woman with her back to the audience. She has a plump figure and curvy figures. She is standing in front of the mirror, looking at herself in pity, with a lazy look!
Although her back was turned to the audience, the mirror placed in front of her perfectly displayed her beautiful face and plump breasts!
The reason why she is said to be almost complete is because her buttocks are covered with a white gauze, which cleverly covers her plump buttocks, making people think endlessly!
When looking at this oil painting for the first time, many people will feel that the lines on the picture are a bit stiff, and the characters are strong and rough-skinned. There is no elegance at all, and they are even a bit rude and even wild!
Based on these characteristics, people can easily come to the conclusion that this painter's painting techniques are not very mature, and he is probably 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 its unusual features!
Through those seemingly stiff lines and warm tones, viewers can clearly feel a strong vitality, strong and vigorous!
Through the image of the female body that is not elegant and even a little dandy, the viewer can feel a sharpness that goes straight to the heart, like a blade!
Ye Tian and the others, who were standing in front of the painting, were unconsciously attracted by the oil painting, and they were all admiring it seriously.
After a moment, Anderson whispered:
"Steven, let me explain this oil painting to everyone. This oil painting gives people a very strange feeling, but I can't tell what is strange."
"Yes, I feel the same way!"
Lisa, who was standing behind, echoed, with doubts in her eyes.
Ye Tian turned to look at them, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, let me explain this oil painting to you. You may feel that this painting is a bit strange, which is normal. The painter who created this oil painting is a very strange existence in itself!
To understand this oil painting, you must first understand the painter himself. The creator of this oil painting is the famous French female painter, Susanna Valadon. She may be the most wild painter in the history of art!
When she was young, Susanna Valadon was beautiful, enthusiastic and wild. She was once very popular 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 was also the most famous female model in the late nineteenth century. We can see Susanna's image in many representative works of top art masters. At this point, she has achieved eternity!
Countless great artists have fallen under her pomegranate skirt, including the master of symbolism painting Schavanner. That was the beginning of Susanna's career as a model. From then on, good luck has always been with her!
The model in Schavanner's masterpiece "White Rock" is Susanna. Susanna's image can also be seen in many other works. After Schavanner, it is Renoir, one of the main Impressionists!
The models painted in Renoir's masterpieces "Girl with Braided Hair" and "Female Dancer at Boujifo" are all Susanna. There are also many portraits and **** paintings, all of which feature Susanna.
Lautrec, the famous Post-Impressionist painter known as the soul of Montmartre, was also unable to resist Susanna's fiery passion. Following Renoir, he also became Susanna's guest.
She later became Degas' disciple. Susanna spent almost every afternoon at Degas' home. If she could 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 19th century, Susanna was one of the most famous women in the French art circle. She maintained ambiguous relationships with countless great artists, and countless people were crazy about her!
But Susanna 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 Susanna, her son Maurice Utrillo also embarked on the road of painting and became one of the few famous landscape painters in France in the 20th century.
In terms of artistic achievements, although Susanna is a talented female painter, she is far inferior to her son, let alone those guests who entered the scene, those famous top art masters.
In the history of Western art, Susanna's romantic affairs and her identity as the mother of Maurice Utrillo are more famous than her identity as a female painter.
For Susanna to leave her name in history and become an eternal person in this way, to be honest, I have only seen such a person. Apart from her, there is no other person. 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 slightly.
