Bab 386: Chapter 386: Two Canvases
On the shelf on the side of the booth were four oil paintings, all of which were realistic landscape paintings, which looked very beautiful.
The size of the four paintings is begin in 80/100 cm, and the largest is about 180/200 cm. These four paintings can cover a wall.
This should have been transported by an RV and the average car is really not ruined. The used blue and white RV behind the stall should belong to the stall owner.
After getting permission from the stall owner, Ye Tian immediately took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to remove the smallest oil painting, and began to appreciate it with his hands.
But this painting is not Ye Tian's goal, it's just an bait!
The painting he was fancying was still hanging on the shelf, and it was a little bit deeper, and it was bigger! About 120/150 cm, it is a large oil painting.
These four oil paintings are all made by a painter. A native American painter from Ohio in the 1950s is also very famous.
The reason why Ye Tian can recognize it at a glance is that these paintings have the artist's signature and creation time in the lower right corner. They are very clear and beyond doubt!
In his eyes, the white light radiated from these four oil paintings also clearly explained their creation time, from the late 1940s to the late 1950s.
In addition to the dazzling white light, the four oil paintings have five to six fascinating halos, some with five layers and some with six layers, indicating that they all have a certain artistic value.
Their market value is also very clear. Depending on the size and creation time, the market value of the four oil paintings ranges from US$15,000 to US$30,000.
This is very much in line with the painter's historical status. His paintings are basically at this price. The auction records over the years have proved this.
However, none of the other three oil paintings are problematic, but the one that Ye Tian fancy showed a very strange phenomenon.
The white light emitted by the oil painting seems to have two layers, as if the two light sources overlapped together, the light intensity is different. The light emitted by the inner light source is brighter than the outer light source.
From this point, it can be judged that the inner light source is a little earlier, about three or four years earlier.
Even more bizarre is that the halo on the outside of the painting also overlaps!
Under the six layers of halo in the original painting, there is still a large halo, as many as ten layers, very charming and dazzling, enough to make people dizzy and even crazy!
It was these ten layers of fascinating halos that tightly caught Ye Tian's gaze, which made him excited and ready to take down this oil painting.
There is no doubt that that oil painting hides a major secret.
Beneath the surface picture, there is a top art piece of art hidden. Based on the area where the halo diverges, it is very likely that what is hidden inside is also an oil painting! The size and appearance are the same!
This method of using one oil painting to hide another painting is not uncommon, and it can even be seen often, but it is not known who made the hidden painting.
Ye Tian has no way of knowing the answer for the time being, but he is very sure of one thing.
The hidden painting must have been made by the most famous modern artist and is worth more than tens of millions of dollars. This judgment is enough!
This oil painting must belong to him, no one can take it away!
He didn't see through the hanging oil painting for the first time and discover the secret, but pretended to seriously appreciate the one in his hand while communicating with the stall owner.
"Sir, take the liberty to ask, why do you have four Jack Blair oil paintings? And it's still such a large-scale work. These should all be scenic spots in Ohio?"
Ye Tian asked curiously, it is indeed rare for such four large-scale oil paintings to appear in the same place, which inevitably makes people surprised.
He also wants to understand the exact origin of these oil paintings, so that a lot of trouble can be avoided. After all, this is related to a top-level artwork. You can't be too careful! Take precautions before they happen!
The stall owner didn't hide it, smiled and began to explain the origin of the four oil paintings.
"Steven, it seems that you also know Jack Blair. You must also know the price of his works. You read it right. These four oil paintings are all Ohio landscapes.
They are "Early Morning on Lake Erie", "Autumn Scenery of Mount Campbell", "Mother River Ohio", and "Meandering Maumee River", which are all scenic spots in Ohio.
As for the origins of these four oil paintings, you can rest assured that they came from legal channels and there is no problem. I am from Ohio. I collected them in Cincinnati!"
"Why don't you send it to the auction? But you brought it to Birmingham. It shouldn't be hard to sell Jack Blair's work? Especially in Ohio."
"The auction house commission ratio is too high, and Jack Blair's paintings can't be sold at high prices, so I didn't send it to auction. I don't want to work for the vampires of the auction house.
It did take long for me to collect these four paintings. This time I come to Corridor 127 and brought them over to see if they could be sold here. If they could be sold, then it would be better!
It is a pity that not many people like these oil paintings, plus their prices, so I have kept them until now. Are you interested in these oil paintings? Fancy that one? We can talk!"
"That's right, the auction house commission ratio is really too high, especially for these value-added space, it is not cost-effective to send it to the auction house, and you will lose once!
The regional colors of these paintings are too strong, and probably not many people like them outside of Ohio. You choose to sell them in Birmingham, Alabama, and no one cares about them.
I'm really interested in these paintings, but this "Autumn Scenery at Campbell Mountain" is fine. It is almost meaningless in terms of momentum. I look at the "Early Morning on Lake Erie" and it looks beautiful!"
After speaking, Ye Tian put "Autumn Landscape of Campbell Mountain" on the shelf again, and walked over to appreciate his real goal, "Early Morning on Lake Erie".
The stall owner responded and went back to greet others.
He knows these four paintings very well and knows the value better. He thinks he has nothing to miss, so Steven should not take advantage of him.
And he also understands that this guy Steven is definitely an expert, and he knows the value of these oil paintings very well. Don't even think about asking for it, it's impossible!
If this guy fell in love with the oil painting and prepared to buy it, it would be just a very ordinary art transaction. The price must strictly follow the market price and the floating space is extremely small!
So there is no need to pay attention to this guy. Even if he doesn't buy it, it's not difficult to bring these oil paintings back to Ohio. It's just a matter of time, don't worry!
However, how did the stall owner know that "Early Morning on Lake Erie" actually hides a major secret, which is a wealth that he may not be able to earn in his life and it is about to pass it by!
But Ye Tian's determination to win this "Early Morning on Lake Erie" was already extremely firm at this time, and it was bound to win!
As soon as he stood in front of the painting, Ye Tian immediately turned on perspective, his eyes penetrating the tranquil water of Lake Erie on the painting, looking behind the canvas, and discovering the secrets hidden behind the canvas.
All at a glance.
This oil painting was thoroughly seen in an instant. The oil paint, canvas, frame, backboard, etc., all the details of the painting are presented in the eyes very clearly, and there is no way to hide all the secrets!
Even the booth on the back of the oil painting and the beauties standing in front of the booth picking goods were thoroughly seen through by Ye Tian, and an unusually fragrant picture appeared in his eyes.
Sure enough, there is another painting hidden behind the canvas, the size of which is as large as "Early Morning on Lake Erie", and it is also a large-scale oil painting!
The two canvases are superimposed on each other, and they are perfectly hidden!
If someone don't tear the surface canvas or remove the nailed back panel, no one will find this hidden painting!
But what surprises Ye Tian is that the hidden painting is not an oil painting. Although it is also an oil painting on canvas, the creative technique is quite different and it is a unique painting method.
The picture of this painting is extremely chaotic. Seems to be a mess. At first glance, you can't tell what the painting is. The eyes are full of complicated and indistinguishable lines, which make people dizzy.
After a moment of surprise, Ye Tian quickly woke up!
Immediately afterwards, a look of excitement and ecstasy immediately appeared in his eyes.
He has recognized this painting technique and this artistic style, and he knows who the painter is and the market value of this painting.
Drip painting! Abstract expressionist painting, created in the 1950s, ten layers of charming halo, extraordinary artistic value and market value!
The answer is ready to come out, it is definitely a crazy answer!
This is the work of Jackson Pollock, the master of abstract expressionism painting and the first hero of American modern painting to break away from European standards and establish a leading position in the international art circle!
And it is the work of the peak period, no doubt!

sphinks The painter Jack Blair mentioned in this chapter, I couldn't find anything related to him or to the works mentioned, I think the original author invented this artist to fit the discovery of Pollock's painting, but I'm not sure of my claim.
