Chapter 350 Streetcar Named Desire (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

The stagnation lasted only a few seconds, and then the scene exploded.

"Hahaha"

Crazy laughter rang out loud and shook the entire market.

In the blink of an eye, people were already laughing and staggering, and tears were pouring into their eyes!

"I'm laughing to death! I really didn't expect Steven to have this side, it's just a spoof!"

"Hahaha, when did Mark Anthony become Chinese? and wearing jeans, it's so funny!"

Betty stumbled over, held Ye Tian's shoulder with her hand, wiped her tears, and laughed breathlessly and said:

"My dear, you should ride a war horse, more like a Roman general, more like Mark Antony!"

"I think so too, when the Shadow grows up, I will be able to experience what it is like to be a Roman general, it must be great! Unfortunately, this world can no longer be conquered with a sword!"

Ye Tian withdrew the short sword pointing to the sky and said with a little regret.

He reinserted the Roman dagger into its scabbard, took off the general's helmet, and put the two movie props back in the stall.

The laughter fell, and everyone then chose their favorite movie props, and everyone was smiling and very relaxed.

The show is done, buddy is now a crazy fan of Marlon Brando! It's time to take the ultimate goal!

Ye Tian began to check the rest of the movie memorabilia, pretending to enjoy them one by one, looking very serious, looking like a crazy movie fan!

Five minutes later, he reached out and patted the stall owner on the shoulder, ready to make a move!

When the stall owner turned around, he immediately pointed to a few Marlon Brando movie memorabilia on the stall and said:

"Man, I want these hand-drawn movie posters, make a price! Don't take me for a fool like Cook!"

He said jokingly, hurting Cook's bastard by the way, and his tone was very lighthearted.

But his eyes hidden under his sunglasses were unusually bright, staring closely at one of the hand-drawn movie posters, his gaze was extremely hot, and he was reluctant to move away for a second.

These five hand-painted movie posters are different, they are the promotional posters of the five movies "Long Live Sabada", "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Dock Storm", "Lion in a Hundred Battles", and "The True Colors of a Man"!

It's full of movie posters from Marlon Brando's works in the fifties, it was Marlon Brando's era!

Ye Tian is staring at Marlon Brando's famous work, the classic movie shot in 1951, and the promotional poster of "A Streetcar Named Desire".

Unlike the print version of the movie poster, this poster has very little textual information.

In the upper left corner are the names of the two leading actors, Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, and in the center of the poster is the name of the movie, "A-Streetcar-Named-Desire" written in floral English.

There is a line of small print below the name of the movie, which are the names of the director and screenwriter.

Other than that, there is no other text on the poster, and all people see is a picture of wildness and desire.

Marlon Brando's Stanley and Vivien Leigh's Blanche hugged each other affectionately, both with their eyes closed, half of their faces full of intoxication, both immersed in sweet love!

The painter's painting skills are very skillful, the picture is bright and full of tension, and the brushstrokes are meticulous, whether it is the movements, expressions, muscle lines, and most importantly, the charm of the characters, they are all vividly expressed!

From Marlon Brando's torn vest, to the explosive muscles, to the red scratches on her back, to Vivien Leigh's ten-fold fingers, everyone could feel the wildness and endless desire!

As long as you have seen this movie, you must be very familiar with this picture, this is the cover poster of "A Streetcar Named Desire", and it is also the best interpretation of the whole movie.

Although this picture is familiar, few people have seen this hand-painted poster in front of them, let alone know that it is from the artist's hand, and it is worth a lot!

For Ye Tian, it was easy to understand this information.

The white glow emitted by the poster indicates the age, this is indeed an antique from the 50s, there is no doubt about it!

The more than a dozen layers of charming halo show that it has extraordinary artistic value, and it must be a top work of art from the hands of famous contemporary artists.

Of course, this also shows its market value, which is also otherworldly, and tens of millions of dollars are just the beginning!

I didn't see the author's signature on the painting, and there was no abbreviation of the name or anything!

This is not a complete artistic creation of painting, but a reproduction of a movie image, and it is difficult to identify who made it based on this

But this situation is the most reasonable, if it is signed by the author, how can it end up in Jamestown, to the flea market!

Seeing the dozen layers of charming halo on this poster, and then contacting the era when it was drawn, Ye Tian almost already knew whose work it was!

There are only a few famous artists in the United States who have painted movie posters, and everyone has a name and a surname, and it is not difficult to distinguish from the artistic style.

When Ye Tian turned on the perspective and looked more deeply at this poster, he quickly confirmed his judgment and knew that this was the artist's work!

In Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh's thick hair, Ye Tian saw two hidden letters, which were obviously shorthand for the author's name.

These two letters are very small, and the color of the font is almost exactly the same as the hair color of the two actors, one is golden, the other is black, and it is only a little lighter, and it is impossible to detect it with the naked eye!

You can only tell with a high-powered magnifying glass, but who will be well-fed and hold on, take a high-powered magnifying glass to study a movie poster!

Because of this, this secret has been kept until now, until Ye Tian saw this poster.

For others, this is a secret that is almost impossible to discover, but in Ye Tian's eyes, this secret has nowhere to hide at all, and it was completely understood by him in an instant!

''Abbreviation of the name of the letter, meticulous illustration drawing style.

From these two points alone, it can be determined that the person who drew this movie poster was Norman Rockwell, a famous American painter and illustrator of the 20th century!

This is a famous artist from New York, who began as an illustrator at the age of 16 and continued to create until the age of 82, and was once named "the most popular artist of the century" by the New York Times.

Norman's work chronicles the development and changes of the United States in the 20th century, and is a microcosm of American society.

From a barefoot boy on a hot summer day to an astronaut on the moon, from a lazy townside storefront to a skyscraper office, from colorful fairy tale books to a sparkling TV screen, his paintings are all reflected.

His work covers not only the two world wars, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and economic depression and racial issues, but also presidents from Kennedy to Carter, movie stars, and the Boy Scouts.

Because he was born as an illustrator, he mainly painted covers for newspapers and magazines and posters for movies, and his painting style was relatively sweet and optimistic, so he was not recognized by the mainstream art world.

In the eyes of many contemporary artists, Norman's paintings are regarded as artificial, works with only material surface and no spiritual substance.

In the field of art criticism, many people see Norman as an illustrator, not an artist or a painter!

Norman doesn't care about this, and he likes to call himself an illustrator.

However, some of Norman's paintings are indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and loved by Americans, no worse than any other artist.

Over time, Norman has become more and more recognized and accepted, and the price of his works has risen rapidly, and he is now one of the most expensive American artists.

One of his masterpieces, "Prayer", set a new auction record for an American artist's work at Sotheby's New York in December 2013, selling for $46.08 million!

Although this record was quickly broken, it was enough to prove Norman's artistic status, as well as the market value of the work.

The painting "Prayer" is also dated to 1951, which is the same year as "A Streetcar Named Desire" in front of Ye Tian's eyes, which was the peak of Norman's artistic career.

Because of this, coupled with the dozen layers of charming halos, Ye Tian is so sure that the value of this hand-painted movie promotional poster will never be less than 10 million US dollars, and may even far exceed.

It's not impossible to set a new auction record for a Norman work!

Ye Tian's gaze became hotter and hotter, and he stared at the movie poster in front of him through his sunglasses, lest this heavy treasure suddenly disappear from his eyes.
