"Mieko, what's wrong with you, you seem to be a little unhappy?" Yasiko looked at Mieko Kato's melancholy gaze and asked softly.
"It's nothing, maybe there are too many people here, the air is a little dull, I want to change places to rest." Mieko Kato gently rubbed her temple with her right hand and said in a low voice.
"Alright, let's change places." Yasiko said and took Mieko Kato's left hand, walked through the crowd, and walked out, at this time the hot auction scene seems to have nothing to do with the two of them, in fact, close a door, open a window, as long as the person's mood changes, everything in front of him will become a passing cloud forever.
The two of them stopped at a delicate drink club, only to see that the lights inside were soft, the layout was elegant, and the people inside were peaceful, and there was no restlessness just now, which made people feel very warm and romantic.
"How about we just take a break here?" Yasiko looked at Mieko Kato carefully and asked softly.
"Okay, great, I really like the mood here." Mieko Kato's eyes lit up, her eyes flashed, and she began to become lively.
"What do you two need?" A tall and thin young man, the young waiter greeted him and asked kindly.
"Mieko, what do you like to drink?" Isaiko motioned for Mieko Kato to sit down, and the two sat in the small private room, and Isaiko asked softly.
"Have a glass of orange juice, Yasico, what do you like?" Mieko Kato finished ordering and asked Yasiko.
"All the same, two glasses of orange juice." Yasiko also learned the children's voice of Mieko Kato, and he laughed heartily after speaking. Mieko Kato smiled and said angrily: "In the future, you are not allowed to learn to speak, sissy." ”
"Mieko, what's your favorite painting, was it the dream you just had?" Yasiko opened the conversation and started chatting.
"I don't know which one is the best, but it's not the dream just now, the girl in the dream is a little too beautiful and charming, and she is the favorite of your men." Mieko Kato said calmly.
"Who said I liked that dream, I look at the girl in the dream, I might as well look at you every day." Yasiko looked at Mieko Kato obsessively, and looked embarrassed by Mieko Kato, and her calm face immediately showed a crimson luster.
"And what are your favorites?" Mieko Kato asked curiously.
"The boy with the pipe is also a Picasso work." As Yasiko spoke, the young waiter brought two soft-colored orange juice drinks, and then politely withdrew.
"I have some impression that the painting you mentioned was collected by Mr. Georg, a wealthy Jewish businessman in Germany, at a Sotheby's auction in London for $104.16 million, which set a record in the history of the auction of a famous painting in the world." Mieko Kato spoke with a somewhat excited expression, apparently taking a great interest in the painting.
"Do you know a lot? Created in 1905, it is one of Picasso's masterpieces of the "Rosé Period". Picasso was 24 years old that year, and had just settled in Montmartre, near Paris, France. The young Parisian boy in the painting, known to Picasso as "Little Louis", often spent time in Picasso's studio, and Picasso used him as a model for this painting. In the painting, "Little Louie" is wearing blue overalls, holding a pipe in his left hand, wearing a garland on his head, and two large bouquets of flowers in the background, which looks quite like a Chinese painting. "Little Louis" wears a wreath on his head, which experts believe Picasso decided to add on the impromptu basis when the painting was about to be completed, but it also looks harmonious. Yasiko said with interest as he tasted the orange juice.
"Oh, but the boy's eyes in the picture seem to be evil, a little bad." Mieko Kato said, holding a straw and looking into Iasiko's eyes.
"It's not like this." Yasiko's eyes widened and he looked at Mieko Kato comically.
"How can you have eyes as big, scared to death, ah, hehe." Mieko Kato looked at Yasiko's mischievous appearance and almost squirted out.
"Praised by critics: a beautiful work with the melancholy of Leonardo da Vinci. Someone once commented: "The work has a poetic artistic conception, and it is so gripping, everyone is deeply attracted by it." Iasiko went on to describe his favorite work.
"My Iasico's appreciation is different, and what I like must be masterpieces." Mieko Kato pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"Of course, just like you, it must be very good to be my girlfriend." Iasiko then snapped.
"Look at you, here you are again, people are talking about works, why did you contact me again?" Mieko Kato's face was unhappy, and she glanced at Iasiko, in fact, she was extremely useful in her heart.
"Actually, I like the story behind this work more. Would I like to tell you about it? Yasiko looked cute and looked at Mieko Kato and asked.
"Well, why do I like to hear your stories so much?" Mieko Kato said happily.
"Oh, so you're with me just to listen to my story, okay, I won't tell it." Yasiko finished sucking the orange juice from the cup.
"No, of course I prefer to be with you." Mieko Kato said delicately that she is as tender as water at this moment, very charming.
"Well, I'll tell you the story: on November 20, 2004, half a year after the sale, the death of a wealthy German businessman named Steve Georg made people know the owner of the painting, and unexpectedly learned that there is a poignant love story behind the painting that has lasted for half a century. Steve Georg is the mysterious buyer who bid for 100 million yuan, and he is not crazy, but crazy about love!
It turns out that the protagonists of the story are Steve Georg and Betty Whitney, their parents are world friends, Steve is a German Jew, Betty's family is American, and when they were children, they both lived in Berlin's Skan Ivöd Street, and their childhood sweethearts grew up without guessing.
In 1905, Picasso completed the painting, which changed hands several times and finally came into the collection of Steve Georg's father. Steve Georg looks a little similar to Picasso's "Little Louis", Betty liked this painting very much, and the two children gradually fell in love with a game, whenever Betty had any request, he would write a note and post it behind his back, and Steve would always try his best to satisfy her when he saw it. ”
