Ink painting can outline a perfect picture with only a few simple strokes, and with light colors, it can be described as lifelike, making people look at the past in front of them vividly. Of course, those who can reach this level will also test the basic skills of painters. Qi Baishi can be regarded as a leading figure in this industry and one of the most famous. He was also dubbed "writing like a god". He once painted a cow's ass and sold it for 6.5438+million yuan. Many people want to know what amazing paintings are so valuable. Let's take a look today.
Famous painter Qi Baishi
I believe everyone can't ignore the name Qi Baishi. His paintings are unpretentious and always intoxicating. It's really hard to reach his level. In fact, at the beginning, he was not engaged in the painting industry, but a carpenter, very grounded. Because of his poor family, he studied carpentry with his master since childhood, which laid the foundation for his future painting. Later, inspired by a mustard seed orchard, he embarked on his career as a painter.
In his life, the old gentleman has set foot in many artistic fields. He is good at calligraphy and sculpture, especially animals. His "Shrimp Fun" is very popular and has been well received by many painters at home and abroad. His paintings are naturally valuable. Even a picture of six cows, which looks nothing special, sold for a high price of100000.
Painted a cow's ass and sold it for 6.5438+million.
In this regard, we are also very curious about the magic of this painting, but when we saw this painting, we found that only a cow's ass was painted, which made people very puzzled. Only after an expert's explanation did we know the value of this painting. At first, experts didn't know what the little spot on the upper left of the cow's ass was. Later, after they magnified the painting countless times, they found that it was the left corner of the buffalo head. It's hard to find if you don't look carefully.
Although this corner only shows a little, experts think this is the value of this painting. From ancient times to the present, the cow in the painter's works is nothing more than two forms, one is a big buffalo that is completely exposed, and the other is a sideways painting with half of its body exposed, which the painter is not interested in. Everyone knows it's a buffalo at a glance, and there's nothing to appreciate.
The finishing touch is an open mind.
On the other hand, Qi Baishi's paintings run counter to others and are very different. Different from other painters, he didn't put the buffalo in the painting, but hid the buffalo, giving people full imagination. Anyone who is familiar with buffalo knows that its butt can easily hide its body shape, and this painting created by Mr. Qi Baishi is the buffalo shape seen from the rear. From a distance, it is just a group of ink with different shades, and the corner exposed in the upper left corner is the finishing touch of the whole picture.
Although we can't see the whole shape of the buffalo, we have drawn the whole shape of the buffalo in the painter's mind. Everyone's thinking mode is different, but such a painting gives people full imagination, and a few simple strokes can vividly show the charm of animals. After understanding, we will find the meaning of this painting, that is, the calf who is about to travel far away heard his mother's call. Looking back, I have to say that it is really amazing, and the more you admire it.
Every stroke of Mr. Qi Baishi's works has its own philosophy, which gives people an aesthetic enjoyment. Only a few simple strokes can show the charm of a clock incisively and vividly, leaving a deep impression on people. The reason why his paintings can sell at such a high price is the handling of details. Just like actors, it is difficult for people to like exaggerated performances. On the contrary, what can move people's hearts is the subtle performance. Sometimes one look and one action can make people understand the meaning, which is the performance of advanced. Painting, like, do not need the same way of painting, but this maverick can make people understand the meaning contained in it.
Celebrity calligraphy and painting have unique historical value, and the beauty it contains is unique because they are endowed with souls by writers. Nowadays, with the rise of antique shops, many things are easily auctioned at sky-high prices. For some people who don't know how to shop, they really can't understand such value. After all, it's just a painting, and they can't eat or wear it. They pay more attention to the actual value of goods. But in fact, the quality of some calligraphy and painting is really commendable. When they are transferred to everyone's hands, collectors will put a stamp on them, which will make their names pass down with the paintings and is also a good way to leave marks in the world.
Have eyes that find beauty.
There are many beautiful things in life, but we haven't found them. As long as you observe them carefully, you can certainly develop more good things in life. We should look at these beautiful things in life with our eyes. Rodin once said: Life is not short of beauty, but short of eyes to find beauty, such as foggy morning, sunset, deep maternal love and so on. It can be said that it is everywhere, always around us, but we turn a blind eye, so we should polish our eyes, wash our hearts, discover beauty and feel beauty.
Maybe we can't reach the level of a master, but at least we can cultivate our own sentiments and relax ourselves. In today's high-intensity pressure, most people are living numbly, so we might as well enjoy some beautiful things in our spare time. Although these calligraphy and paintings are of little use to those who don't appreciate them, I believe they must be priceless to those who really love art. I don't know, what do you think of this?
