Bab 387: Chapter 387: Imaginative Artwork
Abstract Expressionism, an important painting school that originated in the United States in the 1950s, is also considered to be the first American painting school with international influence.
It expresses emotions in an abstract way, boldly sway colors, and create as you please.
In abstract expressionist paintings, no concrete images can be found, and the content of the paintings is just pure form and color.
There are two forms of abstract expressionism, one emphasizes power and dynamic, full of passion; the other is purer abstraction, giving people a sense of tranquility.
Jackson Pollock, the most outstanding representative of abstract expressionism in the 20th century, one of the founders of American abstract painting, and the pioneer of 'action painting'.
In 1947, Pollock began to use the'drip painting method' for artistic creation.
He nailed the canvas to the floor or wall, and then sprinkled paint on the canvas at will, allowing it to drip on the canvas, creating the effect of crisscrossing abstract lines.
When creating, Pollock did not plan in advance and did not have a fixed position. He liked to walk around the canvas at will, using repeated and unconscious movements to draw a complex, difficult to distinguish, and disorderly lines.
This kind of painting composition design has no center, unrecognizable structure, and has distinct characteristics of abstract expressionism, so it is called abstract expressionism painting.
Pollock's free-spirited and unrestricted abstract painting style appropriately embodies the American spirit of opposing restraint and advocating freedom, and also embodies the artist's amazing creativity!
The full-frame composition style and the direct record of the artist's behavior dominated by emotions fully demonstrate the novelty and originality of this painting style.
The fundamental significance of Pollock's paintings is to get rid of all constraints and pursue extreme freedom and openness. It promotes the development of bold creative consciousness.
The 1950s was the peak period of Pollock's artistic career. Many famous paintings were created, which were regarded as classics in art history.
These paintings have also won him a huge reputation, making him the world's top artist and being respected by countless people in future generations.
However, Pollock's paintings were not recognized and accepted by people at first. Many people simply cannot understand his works, and they don't understand what those chaotic lines and colors express!
With the passage of time, the artistic value and special significance of these paintings have been gradually recognized by people, and they have begun to be enthusiastically sought after. His works have also risen, and the prices have continued to soar.
Today, Pollock's abstract expressionist paintings have become the top art works, which are extremely expensive and hard to find!
The latest transaction record is 200 million US dollars. The painting was created in 1948, "17A", which was acquired by a well-known American billionaire collector.
This record-setting transaction was carried out in private. If it was sent to an auction, in a competitive environment, it was very likely that a higher price would be sold!
At this moment, Ye Tian was in front of a painting of Pollock's peak period, which made him start to think about it, letting his imagination run wild like a wild horse!
100 million dollars? 200 million dollars? Or a higher 300 million dollars? Any price is possible!
While letting his imagination fly, Ye Tian was also admiring this top-level artwork, feeling the charm of abstract expressionist art, and experiencing Pollock's wild imagination and creativity.
The first impression of this painting is a mess! The eyes are full of chaotic colors and lines, and he can't see why, let alone the charm of art.
But after a few more glances, Ye Tian gradually discovered the beauty in chaos, felt the charm of this painting, and felt the amazing imagination.
The picture is full of criss-cross, boundless lines and colors.
The lines are swayed arbitrarily, without any rules to follow. There are only three colors, black, white and red, and there is no primary or secondary distinction. They overlap each other and cover the entire canvas.
Although the space displayed on the canvas is limited, only 120/150 cm, the lines and colors in the picture are not restricted.
The visual experience they bring to people seems to continue to extend and sway outward, with no end in sight!
Ye Tian's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, his gaze is firmly nailed to the painting, and the whole person seems to have entered a three-dimensional space, where he can roam freely.
After ten seconds, Ye Tian just woke up!
When he was sober, he immediately sighed with emotion.
"It's no wonder that after being hailed as Picasso and Braque's analytical Cubism, the most eye-catching new invention in the painting space really deserves its reputation!"
This is the top-notch artwork, its value is immeasurable, beyond doubt!
Ye Tian temporarily stopped his appreciation. Now is not the time. When this masterpiece of abstract expressionism truly belongs to him, then he can enjoy it and celebrate it arrogantly!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian began to look up other relevant information on the surface of the painting, such as the title of the painting, the artist's signature, and the creation year.
No information was found on the surface of the painting, but in the lower right corner of the back of the canvas, he found what he wanted, a very clear set of text messages.
"Pollock, 'Autumn Rhythm, No. 20', 1950"
"Awesome!"
Ye Tian squeezed his fist sharply and cheered secretly!
There is no doubt that this painting is absolutely qualified to be one of Pollock's masterpieces, and is a work created at the same time as the famous "Autumn Rhythm, No. 30".
These powerful text messages will undoubtedly double the value of this painting, and it is not impossible to create a new Pollock auction record!
All the conditions have been mastered and can be shot!
This oil painting must be taken down, absolutely not to be missed!
Afterwards, he reluctantly withdrew his perspective gaze, slightly adjusted his breathing and emotions, turned around firmly, and looked at the stall owner behind him with a smile.
"I like this oil painting very much. Let's make a price. If the price is right, I am going to buy it! This is a nice decoration!"
A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the stall owner, and immediately quoted the price.
"That's great! Steven, I didn't expect you to like this "Early Morning on Lake Erie". You have a good eye. You also know the price of Jack Blair's work. You can take this oil painting with you for $25,000!"
The price is fair and the moisture is not big, but Ye Tian still returned the price.
"The size of this painting is too big to fit in the SUV. If I want to take it back to New York, I have to remove the frame and reinstall it when I return to New York.
And the classicism picture frame does not match the style of my apartment, I plan to replace it, which will increase a lot of costs, so I bid 22,000 US dollars, you can consider it.
If you can accept it, we can make a deal now. Cash or cheque or bank transfer will do. You also need to provide a painting tube long enough for me to put this oil painting away! "
The reason why Ye Tian said so is because of consideration.
Pollock's work is too important, too expensive, and it has disappeared from public view for too long, nearly fifty or sixty years! Who knows the story behind it!
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes, its discovery process must be made public and completely clear of itself!
In this way, even if this is a stolen famous painting, the FBI has no excuse to make trouble for him, and it will not lose a single cent of it, at most it is nothing but joy!
Of course, the possibility of this is a stolen famous painting is extremely small, at least Ye Tian has never seen the name of this painting in the stolen art catalog, but there is no harm in being careful and prepared!
There are such multimedia reporters, Alabama police and FBI agents at the scene, and the stall owner selling oil paintings is also here. This is undoubtedly the best place to discover!
As long as he discover this famous painting here, the news will spread throughout the entire collection world. From then on, no one will be able to question his own ownership of this famous painting!
By the way, he can show up again and make others envious to death!
The stall owner was silent and began to consider the price given by Ye Tian.
After five or six seconds, he made a decision.
Accept this price, sell this oil painting, and draw the most successful conclusion to the Corridor 127 tour!
But if he knew from there that what he was about to lost a huge treasure, a treasure enough to make him regret for a lifetime!
"OK! US$22,000, deal! As long as you pay, this "Early Morning on Lake Erie" belongs to you. It's best to trade in cash. I like the green Franklins and the feeling of counting money!"
As he said, he stretched out his right hand and smiled brilliantly.
"Awesome! The deal, I like this oil painting, thank you for bringing it to Birmingham, this payment is all brand new Franklins!"
Ye Tian said excitedly, shook hands with the stall owner and concluded a deal.
Then, he took out 22,000 US dollars from his backpack, reached out and handed it to the stall owner, completing the last link of the transaction.
After receiving the payment, the stall owner immediately began to count, with an excited smile on his face.
Ye Tian walked to the oil painting with excitement, and gently stroked the frame with his hand. The movements were very gentle, just like touching Betty's smooth skin.
But the eyes under his sunglasses were extremely bright, full of fanaticism and excitement.
This Pollock's work belong to him, making a lot of money!
After cheering secretly, he immediately whispered through the headset:
"Walker, come here and do a favor, let's carry out this oil painting, this thing is too big! The weight is not light"
"Ok!"
Walker responded in a low voice, and walked over immediately.
Then, the two took down the painting together and carried it out of the booth, and placed it on the ground outside.
Ye Tian chose a spacious and dry place, planning to take apart the picture frame here, let the Pollock hidden in it see the sky again, and shock the entire courtyard market! Shock the entire art collection market!
The stall owner quickly counted the money, and in the enviable eyes of other stall owners, he put 22,000 US dollars into his pocket, and then walked over with a telescopic drawing tube.
"Steven, this is the painting tube you want. You really intend to take down this frame! What a pity, this is a classic oak frame, worth a lot of money!"
"No way, I want to bring this oil painting back to New York, then the frame must be removed. If you like this frame, you can keep them. I don't intend to take it away!"
Ye Tian pretended to be helpless and said that the performance was very good.
At the same time, he also gave the stall owner a bit of sweetness, so that the uncle would not regret it later!
"That's great! Thank you, you are such a generous fellow!"
The stall owner said excitedly, smiling.
This oak frame has excellent materials, excellent carvings, huge size, and has a history of 50 or 60 years. It is also an antique. It is indeed worth a little money. It is an unexpected surprise. Of course he is very happy!
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, indicating that the stall owner is welcome.
Then he said through the headset:
"Anderson, Raymond, come to my side. I want to take apart this picture frame. I need some help. Others continue to scan the goods and move fast!"
"Okay! Let's come right now!"
Anderson and Raymond replied in unison, and then they walked here, still carrying two antiques in their hands.
Ye Tian asked them to come here, not just to help himself, but also for deeper intentions!
The process of discovering Pollock's painting, as a lawyer, Anderson must be present to witness, while Raymond can strengthen security forces to prevent accidents.
The two quickly walked to the front and stood on both sides of Ye Tian, ready to assist him in dismantling the picture frame.
Seeing Anderson and Raymond coming over, several stall owners who came to see the excitement were immediately dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning!
These crazy scavengers are actually under Steven's bastard. Has everyone been calculated?
The answer is obviously very, yes!
Doesn't that mean that the so many things these guys bought were all antiques or works of art, which is crazy! It's so hateful!
Needless to say, this must be a robbery planned by Steven's bastard! That damn bastard is a robber, a liar, and deserves a thousand cuts!
The anger was boiling in an instant, and the eyes of several stall owners were red, staring at Ye Tian fiercely, and their teeth were almost broken with hatred!
