Chapter 929: God's Perspective

"These five oil paintings are all works of Picasso's pastoral period, which are abstract paintings combining cubism, realism and surrealism, with extraordinary artistic value and rare top-notch artworks.

For each painting, the era, painting techniques, and artistic styles of these five abstract paintings are more or less different, and the themes they express are even more different.

If we look at it carefully, we can see the subtle changes in Picasso's painting style and technique during the pastoral period, which are of great significance in the history of Western art."

François gave an overall introduction first, which was quite professional and should have done a lot of homework.

While introducing the painting, the two Frenchmen and Boss Song had been secretly observing Ye Tian's expression to see what reaction he would give.

As a result, they didn't notice anything, Ye Tian just stood there with a smile on his face, admiring these paintings while listening to François's introduction, and there was nothing unusual.

Seeing this situation, the servant suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart hanging in his throat was slightly relaxed.

After a pause, François continued:

"I'm going to go from left to right, but the painting on the far left was created around 1950, around the time when Picasso was working on the Carmen series.

If we compare it with the Carmen series, we can see a lot of commonalities in the creation of this painting, which is enough to explain the origin of this painting.

In addition to the identification of artistic style and painting skills, we have also carried out scientific tests in 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, and in this painting, we can feel the joyful emotions, the surging passion, and even the intoxicating love.

It was in 1953 that Picasso met his second wife, Jacqueline Locke, and the two quickly fell in love and eventually became husband and wife, together for the rest of their lives.

During this period, Picasso used his lover Jacqueline as a model to create a series of paintings related to Jacqueline, and this is one of them, which has a very special significance.

It was also at this time that Picasso's artistic style underwent another subtle shift towards young women, a very important and significant one,......"

François stood in front of several paintings and talked eloquently, introducing these abstract paintings, his face was full of admiration, he looked very professional and passionate about art!

Or that he performed very professionally and devotedly, staging an actor-level one-man show for everyone.

While he was introducing the paintings, René, another Frenchman, was not idle, he took out a few 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 the five oil paintings, among which are the appraisal conclusions issued by two Spanish so-called antique art appraisal experts, and the authority is unknown!

In addition, there are some documents, which are scientific test reports issued by relevant testing institutions, and the test data are quite detailed and relatively credible.

This is all a physical test, very objective, with legal effect, basically will not be fake, and dare not fake! Otherwise, if these paintings are sent for testing again, everything will be exposed!

And the appraisal conclusions of those so-called antique art appraisal experts, the subjective factors are too great, and one sentence can shirk all the responsibilities!

Ye Tian took the document and took a quick look at it, then put it aside, continued to listen to François's introduction, and admired the five abstract oil paintings in front of him.

Compared with those appraisal conclusions and scientific test reports, he trusts his own eyes more and believes in everything he sees with his own eyes.

These eyes are the most powerful and authoritative identification weapon in the world, and there is no one else like that.

In Ye Tian's eyes, the information presented by these five paintings is completely different from what François introduced.

This is not true, the French said at least one thing is correct, that is, the age of the creation of these oil paintings is indeed the same as the conclusion given by the test report.

The five oil paintings placed on the easel and coffee table radiate a dazzling white light in Ye Tian's eyes, and the specific year of the painting can be determined according to the analysis and judgment of the intensity of the light.

The five paintings were created in different years, one from 1950, two from around 1954, one from 1958 and one from 1959, all of which are antique works of art with a history of more than 50 years!

At least on this point, François was not lying.

However, as for the creators and artistic value of these oil paintings, what Ye Tian saw in his eyes was very different from what they said.

At first glance, several oil paintings look similar, all of them are abstract paintings combining cubism, realism and surrealism, which are in line with Picasso's pastoral painting style, and it makes people dizzy when they look at it!

Appreciating this kind of abstract painting requires a lot of thought and time, as well as a certain degree of artistic accomplishment and imagination, in order to comprehend the artist's creative intention and what he wants to express.

If the connoisseur is a professional who has studied Picasso, or a collector with a deep knowledge of Western painting, the difference between the five paintings will be quickly recognized.

The two of the paintings, which cost $30 million, are not on the same level as the other three, and there is a world of difference between them.

To put it in relatively simple terms, the two oil paintings that cost $30 million have souls! The other three paintings are just demonstrations of painting techniques, and there is nothing intrinsic.

It's like two people, one is energetic, enthusiastic and positive about life, and the other is like a walking corpse, muddy, and has no value in existence.

This subtle difference, which is almost imperceptible to ordinary people, is the difference between the ordinary painter and the master of art, the difference between the form and the divine!

The difference looks small, but it's like a moat!

Countless painters have not been able to cross this barrier in their lifetimes, step into the ranks of art masters, and become famous!

Of course, there are also buried geniuses among them.

But how many geniuses are there? More are ordinary people, who are still 108,000 miles away from genius! They can only spend their lives in mediocrity and make no achievements!

In Ye Tian's eyes, those two abstract oil paintings, which cost $30 million, radiated dazzling white light, and as many as twenty or so layers of charming halo, which was dazzling and intoxicating!

From this, it can be seen that these are indeed two top-notch antique artworks, made by top art masters, and their artistic value is extraordinary.

Their market value goes without saying, and they must be worth a fortune!

Judging from the age of the creation of these two oil paintings and the artistic style, they are indeed Picasso's pastoral paintings, and their artistic value is very high.

However, Ye Tian did not see the names of these two paintings, nor did he see Picasso's signature, nor the era when these two abstract paintings were created.

Aside from the style of painting, there is hardly any useful information to prove that these two abstract paintings are the work of Picasso's pastoral period.

At the same time, Ye Tian didn't know how such two valuable top works of art fell into the hands of the Frenchman Francois.

As for what the French said that this was his personal collection, Ye Tian didn't believe it at all.

If you had two priceless Picasso paintings, would they be put together with three worthless imitations?

The price of these two top works of art from the master painter Picasso is indeed reasonable and even a little low, if not too low.

If we can find tangible evidence that these two abstract paintings are indeed by Picasso, their prices will surely soar dramatically, doubling or even hundreds of millions!

As for the other three paintings, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Although they also radiate a dazzling white light, showing their history from the fifties of the last century, the few layers of halo make their value extremely clear!

In the current antique art market, such paintings are worth about a thousand dollars, and it can't be more!

At this price, we still pay for their fifty or sixty years of history, for the age of creation, not for the 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 imitate the form, but not the God! Because they simply do not possess Picasso's overflowing artistic talent and inexhaustible creative passion!

In the fifties of the last century, Picasso has become a world-renowned art master, known as the founder of modern art, and his status in the art world is extremely lofty!

Picasso of that era was the idol of countless people, and it was also the target of countless painters to follow, and the object of imitation!

They are always following Picasso's movements, paying attention to each of his latest works, learning from them, drawing inspiration from them, and striving for improvement!

It is from the hands of these painters that countless works very similar to Picasso's style flow, which fill the Montmartre heights of Paris and can be seen everywhere.

Even though Picasso has been dead for decades, he still has countless artistic followers, creating paintings with very similar styles all the time, quite a lot!

The three abstract paintings in front of me are works that imitate Picasso's pastoral painting style.

In the fifties of the last century, such works were all over the streets, and it was a fluke to be able to buy a few hundred dollars, but now they are asking for 10 million dollars!

With the light radiating from several paintings, as well as the halo of different layers, Ye Tian instantly grasped the basic situation of these paintings.

Immediately afterward, he secretly opened the perspective and began to examine the deeper details of the paintings, hoping to discover more secrets.

Needless to say, those three imitations are fake, and they will never become authentic!

Ye Tian saw through the three paintings at a glance, there were no mezzanines, no secrets, and no value, they were not worth mentioning at all!

He then began to look through the remaining two paintings, the top works of art created during Picasso's pastoral period!

Looking at the distance, I instantly saw these two top artworks, and all the details inside and outside the paintings were not missing, which was very clear!

Paints, canvases, frames, delicate brushstrokes, traces of shovel paintings, and even the entire cycle of creation, all the details are clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes, and there are no secrets at all!

At this moment, Ye Tian seemed to have returned to the Montmartre heights of Paris in the fifties of the last century, in Picasso's studio, looking down on everything from the perspective of God.

Picasso was painting on canvas, very focused, unleashing his amazing artistic talent, mixing up and shining with genius.

In front of the easel is Jacqueline Locke, who is young and beautiful, sexy and charming.

She was lying naked in a languid chaise longue, her eyes staring at Picasso with love in them.

Under Picasso's brush, Jacqueline's beautiful body is distorted, deformed, strangely shaped, and even disassembled, which I can't bear to witness!
