The scene was very noisy and noisy. Everyone looked at Rodriguez and the 'Moulin Rouge' promotional poster. Everyone was full of curiosity!
Rodriguez looked at the onlookers, calmed down his emotions, and then said:
“This promotional poster for the 'Moulin Rouge' ballroom has no problem with its age. It is indeed an antique poster from 1892. It is not in very good condition and can be seen by everyone!
Let’s talk about the painting style of this promotional poster. It is a bit like Degas, but not Degas; it is also a bit like Lautrec, but it doesn’t seem right to say that it is a work of Lautrec!
The painting style of this 'Moulin Rouge' promotional poster is somewhere between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. It looks more like a forgery. I don't know who made it, but I judge it to be of average value! "
After finishing his words, Rodriguez immediately looked at Ye Tian to see how Ye Tian would react.
At this time, Rodriguez certainly hopes that this promotional poster is worthless, so that he will not regret it for the rest of his life!
However, things often backfire!
"Pa bang bang"
Ye Tian clapped gently and nodded approvingly.
Several painters who were also at the scene also applauded and agreed with Rodriguez's judgment.
When the applause fell, Ye Tian’s clear voice immediately reached everyone’s ears.
“Rodriguez’s basic judgment is correct. This promotional poster is a bit like the work of Degas and a bit like the work of Lautrec. The painting style is between Impressionism and Post-Impressionism!
Next, let me talk about my identification opinion. This is the "Soul of Montmartre", a promotional poster painted by Lautrec for the "Moulin Rouge" ballroom. I am very sure of this! "
Before he finished speaking, the scene was completely boiling.
“What? Did I hear it correctly? That promotional poster turned out to be a painting by ‘The Ghost of Montmartre’ Lautrec, it’s incredible!”
"Let me go! How much is Lautrec's masterpiece worth? It must be a top-notch work of art. This **** Steven has picked up another shocking leak. He is going to rob the whole of France!" "
Everyone exclaimed, their eyes filled with disbelief and envy!
Rodriguez froze on the spot, dumbfounded, muttering to himself.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible! How could it be a painting by Lautrec? I must have heard wrong, and Steven's identification must be wrong!"
As the exclamations spread quickly, the entire Xiaoqiu Square was shaken, and everyone's eyes turned to this side.
Especially those artists who were painting in the square, when they heard that Ye Tian had discovered the promotional poster drawn by Lautrec, they immediately entrusted the painting stall to someone they knew next to take care of it, and ran over here. !
Without exception, each of them was extremely excited and their eyes were filled with envy!
They had no doubt at all about Ye Tian's identification conclusion. Countless things that had happened in the past had proven that that lucky **** could never have made a mistake, not even once!
He said it was a work by Lautrec, so it must be Lautrec!
Ye Tian glanced at Rodriguez, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The scene quickly fell silent, and Ye Tian's clear voice came out again, reaching everyone's ears.
"As we all know, Lautrec, who was born into a French aristocratic family and is known as the 'Soul of Montmartre', is a famous Post-Impressionist painter with extraordinary artistic achievements!
In addition to his achievements in painting, he also made extraordinary achievements in poster design and painting. The color posters he painted are considered to have led the innovation of poster design!
It can even be said that Lautrec made greater achievements in poster design and painting than in painting. He was hailed as the pioneer of modern poster art by later generations!
The most famous series of posters painted by Lautrec are the promotional posters he painted for the 'Moulin Rouge'. In his paintings, the lavishness of the Moulin Rouge is vividly expressed!
Once established, the Moulin Rouge became the leading gold-selling den in Paris. This has a lot to do with Lautrec's deviant, eye-catching and pioneering promotional posters!
In the following more than 100 years, the Moulin Rouge became more and more famous because of its passionate cancan dance and countless top dancers from all over the world, including Lautrec!
The famous paintings he created with the theme of the Moulin Rouge and the Moulin Rouge dancers have always attracted countless attention, attracting curious people to come to Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge! "
Hearing this, everyone around them nodded slightly and agreed with Ye Tian's words, especially those who made a living in Montmartre. They were deeply touched!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“Speaking of this promotional poster, anyone who knows anything about Lautrec knows that he inherited the painting style of famous Impressionist painters such as Monet and Pissarro, and was also influenced by Japanese Ukiyo-e .
On this basis, Lautrec developed his own unique painting style. While studying painting in Paris, he met Van Gogh, Bernard and others, and was deeply impressed by Degas' painting themes and techniques. Impact.
Among them, Degas was even more respected by him as his idol and spiritual mentor! There was a time when Lautrec imitated Degas' painting style, and the paintings of that period had many similarities with Degas.
Lautrec's period of imitating Degas was not long, and not many of his works have been handed down. This promotional poster is one of them. It can be said that this is a very good top-notch piece of art!
For the above reasons, we can see the shadow of Degas in this promotional poster, and we can also see the influence of Japanese Ukiyo-e, but it is different from most of Lautrec's works!
As for the reason why Impressionism and Post-Impressionism are both styles of painting, it is not difficult to understand, because this is a work created during the period when Lautrec's painting style was changing, and it has special significance..."
Next, Ye Tian held up the 'Moulin Rouge' promotional poster in his hand and explained this valuable top-notch work of art to everyone present. It was professional, precise and irrefutable!
As he explained, people looked at the poster with more and more enthusiasm, and looked at Ye Tian with eyes full of envy, even jealousy!
Many people wanted to replace it, so they rushed forward to **** the 'Moulin Rouge' promotional poster from Ye Tian's hands, took it as their own, and made a fortune!
Rodriguez is even more like this. This guy's face is ashen at this time, and his blood-red eyes are about to spit out fire. He is staring at the promotional poster in Ye Tian's hand, wishing he could **** it back immediately!
However, Mattis and the many armed security personnel who stood around Ye Tian, maintaining a high degree of vigilance and watching eagerly, were able to dispel all thoughts of doing evil and make people dare not act rashly!
Everyone at the scene knew very well that only this gang of **** had ever robbed others, and no one could rob them. Those members of the Pink Panther who died in horrific circumstances were a **** lesson learned from the past!
A few minutes later, Ye Tian finally finished introducing the 'Moulin Rouge' promotional poster hand-drawn by Lautrec, and then carefully rolled it up and put it into a telescopic painting tube!
When he covered the painting tube and was about to take Betty and the others out of the antique stall, someone in the crowd suddenly asked loudly:
“Stephen, tell me the market price of Lautrec’s ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster. I think everyone is very interested!”
The baby has been obtained, there is no doubt about it, Ye Tian certainly doesn’t mind announcing its price and taking the opportunity to hype it up!
He turned his head to look at the direction from which the sound came, and then said loudly with a smile:
"As everyone knows, Lautrec only lived to be 37 years old. His artistic career was very short, and he spent most of his time in sensuality. Not many of his works have been handed down!
Rare things are more valuable! This is an unbreakable truth in the antique art market, and it couldn’t be more appropriate to apply it to a top artist like Lautrec whose works are scarce!
Lautrec's golden period lasted only a dozen years. This 'Moulin Rouge' promotional poster is a work from his golden period, and it represents a change in artistic style and has special significance.
Based on these factors, combined with the performance of Lautrec’s other works in the market, I value this ‘Moulin Rouge’ promotional poster at 18 million euros, no matter how low it is! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Xiaoqiu Square exploded. Almost everyone held their heads and screamed crazily!
“Oh my god! At least 18 million euros. What a huge fortune. I can’t even imagine it!”
“An antique promotional poster worth 500 euros has turned into a top-notch work of art worth at least 18 million euros in the blink of an eye. It’s incredible! It’s not that fast to rob a bank with a gun, right?”
Amidst almost crazy exclamations, Ye Tian walked with Betty and walked towards another painting stall not far ahead.
The group of them had just taken a few steps when a crazy roar like a cuckoo crying for blood suddenly came from behind.
"Steven, you are a robber and a devil! A devil from the depths of hell, I hate you so much, you bastard!"
No need to ask, this shrill roar certainly came from Rodriguez!
