Draw a door and sell 74.75 million "74.75 million once! 74.75 million twice! 74.75 million times! " With the enthusiastic cry of the host, an oil painting "The Former Residence of Qiu Jin" was auctioned at the 201/Beijing Poly International Autumn Auction at a high price of 74.75 million RMB. The occurrence of this incident surprised countless audiences. In the words of netizens, this painting is so dark that nothing can be seen clearly. But you'll be surprised. At the autumn auction of Beijing Poly International, this painting sold for 74.75 million yuan.
Some people say it is not worth it. It's hard for us to believe that such a painting can be regarded as a work of art, not to mention that it was written by the famous Wu Guanzhong. Wu Guanzhong is not only good at drawing traditional China ink painting, but also good at drawing western oil painting, and applies western oil painting techniques to traditional ink painting, so his works have unique style and concise lines. In Wu Guanzhong's own words, "the black door is darker, like a coffin painted with black paint, with stronger tempering and made of steel." It can be seen that the reason why Wu Guanzhong painted this door as a dark coffin is to highlight the memory of it, highlight the heroic character of Qiu Jin, the "Jianhu girl", and at the same time increase the sense of heaviness and solemnity of the former residence. Therefore, this is not a simple door, but more like a monument, a spirit and a sustenance!
It is not the most surprising that the old tree melts into a swallow, which means more. Mr. Wu Guanzhong's work Shuang Yan has sold for hundreds of millions of dollars. The structures of the two paintings haven't changed much, except that Mr. Wu added a tree beside them. What is Wu Guanzhong's intention in this Shuang Yan? Among them, the meaning represented by that tree is the desolation of hometown, but the old tree is budding and people are looking forward to the arrival of a new era. According to the writing time of Shuang Yan, it was an era of China people's progress. Therefore, it is certainly not without reason that Shuang Yan and Qiu Jin's former residences can bid such high prices.
