“These five oil paintings are all works from Picasso’s pastoral period. They are abstract paintings that combine cubism, realism and surrealism. They have extraordinary artistic value and are rare top-notch works of art.
Specifically for each painting, these five abstract paintings are more or less different in the era of creation, painting techniques, and artistic styles, and the themes they express are even more different.
If we appreciate it carefully, we can see the subtle changes in Picasso's painting style and techniques during his pastoral period, which is of great significance in the history of Western art."
Francois gave an overall introduction first, which was quite professional and he should have done a lot of homework.
While introducing the painting, the two French guys and Boss Song had been secretly observing Ye Tian's expression to see what reaction he would give.
As a result, they found nothing. Ye Tian just stood there with a smile on his face, admiring the paintings and listening to Francois' introduction. There was nothing unusual.
Seeing this situation, the three people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts hanging in their throats relaxed a little.
After a pause, Francois continued:
"I will introduce them one by one from left to right. The painting on the far left was created around 1950. That period was the period when Picasso created the "Carmen" series.
If compared with the "Carmen" series of works, we can see many similarities in the creative techniques of this painting, which is enough to explain the origin of this painting.
In addition to identifying the artistic style and painting techniques, we also conducted scientific testing by relevant testing institutions to determine the year of creation of this oil painting, which is beyond doubt!
The second oil painting on the left was created around 1953. In this painting, we can feel joyful emotions, more surging passion, and even intoxicating love.
It was in 1953 that Picasso met his second wife, Jacqueline Locke. The two quickly fell in love and eventually got married and spent the rest of their lives together.
During this period, Picasso used his lover Jacqueline as a model and created a series of paintings related to Jacqueline. This is one of them, which has a very special significance.
It was also at this time that Picasso's artistic style underwent a subtle change again, turning to young women as his creative themes. This was a very important change with extraordinary significance..."
Francois stood in front of several paintings and talked, introducing these abstract paintings. His face was filled with admiration. He looked very professional and passionate about art!
In other words, he performed very professionally and devotedly, performing a one-man show at the level of an actor for everyone.
While he was introducing these paintings, another Frenchman, René, was not idle. He took out several documents from his bag and handed them to Ye Tian and Mr. Liu respectively, asking them to look at them.
These are the appraisal documents of five oil paintings, including the appraisal conclusions issued by two Spanish so-called antique art appraisal experts. The authoritativeness is unknown!
In addition, there are some documents, which are scientific test reports issued by relevant testing agencies. The test data are quite detailed and the credibility is relatively high.
These are all physical tests, which are very objective and have legal effect. They basically will not cheat and they will not dare to cheat! Otherwise, send the paintings in for another test and everything will be revealed!
As for the appraisal conclusions of those so-called antique art appraisal experts, the subjective factors are too great, and one misreading can completely shirk all responsibilities!
Ye Tian took the file and browsed it quickly, then put it aside and continued to listen to Francois' introduction and appreciate the five abstract oil paintings in front of him.
Compared with those identification conclusions and scientific test reports, he believed in his own eyes and everything he saw with his own eyes.
My own eyes are the most powerful and authoritative identification tool in the world, unparalleled.
In Ye Tian's eyes, the information presented in these five paintings was completely different from what Francois introduced.
That's not right. At least one thing the French guy said is correct, that is, the age when these oil paintings were created is indeed the same as the conclusion given in the test report.
The five oil paintings placed on the easel and coffee table radiated dazzling white light in Ye Tian's eyes. Based on the analysis and judgment of the intensity of the light, the specific year of the paintings can be determined.
The five oil paintings were created in different years, one in 1950, two around 1954, one in 1958, and one in 1959. They are all antique works of art with a history of more than fifty years!
At least on this point, Francois didn't lie.
However, what Ye Tian saw in his eyes was quite different from what they said about the creators and artistic value of these oil paintings.
At first glance, several oil paintings look similar. They are all abstract paintings that combine cubism, realism and surrealism. They are in line with Picasso’s pastoral style. Just looking at them makes people dizzy!
Appreciating this kind of abstract painting requires a lot of thought and time, as well as a certain degree of artistic accomplishment and free imagination in order to understand the artist's creative intention and what he wants to express.
If the appreciator is a professional who has studied Picasso, or a collector who has a deep knowledge of Western painting art, he will quickly be able to tell the difference between these five paintings.
The two paintings with a price tag of 30 million US dollars are not on the same level as the other three. There is a huge difference between them.
To describe it in relatively simple terms, those two oil paintings priced at US$30 million have a soul! The remaining three paintings are just demonstrations of painting techniques and have no inherent content.
It's like two people, one is full of energy, passionate about life, and positive; the other is like a walking dead, confused, and has no value in existence.
This subtle difference that is almost imperceptible to ordinary people is the difference between ordinary painters and art masters, the difference between form and spirit!
Although the difference seems small, it is like a chasm!
Countless painters have been unable to cross this chasm throughout their lives and enter the ranks of art masters, achieving success and fame!
Of course, there are also hidden geniuses among them.
But how many geniuses can there be? Most of them are ordinary people, who are still far away from geniuses! They can only spend their lives mediocrely and achieve nothing!
In Ye Tian's eyes, the two abstract oil paintings, priced at 30 million US dollars, emitted dazzling white light and had up to twenty layers of charming halos, which made people dazzled and intoxicated!
It can be seen from this that these are indeed two top-notch antique works of art, produced by top art masters, and their artistic value is extraordinary.
It goes without saying that their market value must be priceless!
Judging from the age and artistic style of these two oil paintings, they are indeed paintings from Picasso’s pastoral period, and are of great artistic value.
However, Ye Tian did not see the names on these two paintings, nor did he see Picasso's signature, nor the year when these two abstract paintings were created.
Except for the style of painting, there is almost no other useful information to prove that these two abstract paintings are works from Picasso's pastoral period.
At the same time, Ye Tian didn't know how these two valuable top-notch works of art fell into the hands of Frenchman Francois.
Ye Tian didn't believe the French guy's statement that this was his personal collection.
If you had two priceless Picasso paintings, would you put them next to three worthless imitations? Who is not treasured like an eyeball, it is difficult for others to even take a look!
The asking price of US$30 million for these two top-notch works of art from the master of painting Picasso is indeed reasonable, even a little low.
If tangible evidence can be found to prove that these two abstract paintings were indeed painted by Picasso, their prices will definitely soar, doubling or even hundreds of millions is possible!
As for the other three paintings, they are not worth mentioning at all.
Although they also emit a dazzling white light, showing their history from the 1950s, the few layers of halo clearly illustrate their value!
In the current antique art market, such a painting is only worth about a thousand dollars, no more!
At this price, you should pay for their fifty or sixty-year history and the era of their creation, not for their pitiful artistic value!
Although these three paintings are of little value, it is undeniable that the unknown painters who created them imitated Picasso's pastoral style very well.
It is a pity that they only imitated the form, but not the spirit! Because they simply do not have Picasso’s overflowing artistic talent and never-ending creative passion!
In the 1950s, Picasso had become a world-renowned art master, known as the founder of modern art, and his status in the art world was extremely high!
Picasso of that era was the idol of countless people, the target of countless painters, and the object of imitation!
They are always paying attention to Picasso's trends and each of his latest works, learning from them, drawing inspiration from them, and striving for progress!
It is from the hands of these painters that countless works very similar to Picasso's style have emerged, which can be seen everywhere in Montmartre, Paris.
Even though Picasso has been dead for decades, he still has countless artistic followers who are always creating paintings with very similar styles. The number is quite large!
The three abstract paintings in front of me are works that imitate Picasso's pastoral style.
In the 1950s, such works were all over the streets, and you would be lucky to buy them for a few hundred dollars. Now they are asking for ten million dollars! The appetite can be said to be very big!
With the light radiating from several paintings and the different layers of halo, Ye Tian instantly grasped the basic information of these paintings.
Immediately afterwards, he secretly turned on perspective and began to examine the deeper details of these paintings, hoping to discover more secrets.
Needless to say, those three imitation works are fake, they will never be authentic!
Ye Tian saw through those three paintings at a glance. There were no layers, no secrets, and no value. They were not worth mentioning at all!
Then he began to look through the remaining two paintings, top works of art created by Picasso during his pastoral period!
Looking across the distance, I instantly saw these two top-notch works of art clearly. All the details inside and outside the paintings were not missed, it was very clear!
The paint, the canvas, the frame, the delicate brushstrokes, the traces of scraping, and even the entire creation cycle, all details are clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes, there are no secrets at all!
At this moment, Ye Tian seemed to have returned to Montmartre in Paris in the 1950s, in Picasso's studio, looking down at everything from God's perspective.
Picasso is painting on the canvas, very focused, showing off his amazing artistic talent, and his whole body is shining with the light of genius.
Directly in front of the easel is the young, beautiful, **** and charming Jacqueline Locke.
She was naked, lying on the chaise longue in a lazy posture, looking at Picasso lovingly with her eyes full of love.
Under Picasso's brush, Jacqueline's beautiful body is twisted, deformed, grotesque, and even disintegrated. It's unbearable to see!
