Chapter 154 Auction Harvest

Chapter 154 Auction Harvest
After finishing the banquet and returning to the hotel, Liang En and Fan Meng immediately got together to appreciate the booklet they bought at the auction.

"These paintings are really pretty." Fan Meng scratched his head and said after briefly reading through the 19 sketches in this booklet. "While I don't see what the words mean, I just think the paintings feel really good."

"If that's the case, then the painter of this painting is really good." Liang En nodded slightly. "A really good work of art must do this, and it can make laymen enjoy a kind of beauty from it."

After the two checked the manual again but still found nothing, Fan Meng, who found that he could not help, returned to his room, and Liang En immediately used a copy of the manual on the manual after he left. 【Identification (N)】.

The reason why cards are used is also very simple. During the inspection process, Liang En found that the booklet should be bound together after the sketches were drawn, and he knew that he was not good enough to complete the next appraisal. .

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, so when facing this kind of artwork, it is a wise choice to admit that you are powerless and need the help of a golden finger, which can at least save a lot of time and energy.

And the fact is just as Liang En thought, when he used the card against the manual, a line of text immediately appeared in front of Liang En, revealing the identity of the manual.

[Famous oil painting masters often have a strong sketch level, and they also use sketching to practice their painting ability, and this manual is left by the two oil painting masters. 】

[Nicolas Fischen is the owner of this manual, and most of the sketches in the manual are left by him.However, in addition to the 17 sketches he drew himself, there are also two sketches of his teacher Ilya Yefimovich Repin. 】

"Repin!" Liang En's eyes widened. Although he didn't know who this Nikolai Feshen was, he still knew the famous Russian oil painting master Repin.

Because he remembered that there was an article in the previous Chinese textbook called "Trackers on the Volga River", and the picture accompanying that article was Repin's oil painting of the same name.

And just when the specific identity of this sketchbook was determined, two cards appeared in Liang En's mind, judging from the color, it should be an R card and an N card.

"It seems that this booklet is really worth buying." Liang En muttered in a low voice. For him, it is very good to be able to get an N card and an R card for less than 1 US dollars. transaction.

After checking it, he found that the N card was a daily 【Appraisal (N)】, nothing special about it.The R card is a brand new enhanced card.

[Sketch painter (R): Sketch is the foundation of painting, the skeleton of painting; it is also the art that is the most restrained and needs the assistance of reason.Everyone who is new to painting must first learn sketch to lay a solid foundation.

And for those true masters, even a simple sketch can provide a kind of aesthetic enjoyment to those who view the work.

Enhancement card (one-time), consumption of this card allows you to master sketching skills equivalent to the level of Nicholas Fischen.Note that what you have mastered is only the skills related to sketching, and does not involve other drawing abilities. 】

"Ah, this new skill is quite valuable." After using this card and mastering the sketching skill, Liang En leaned gently on the chair and thought.

After all, archaeological work also needs to draw various sketches. Although these sketches hardly contain any artistic components, they are still a kind of sketches.

Especially in the past when there was no video and camera equipment, the excavators of ancient ruins only had sketches to record the archaeological site besides the text.

It's just that with the development of technology, fewer and fewer historians and archaeologists have mastered this skill.But if you can master this skill, it may be useful in some special situations.

"But who is this Nicola Feishen?" After the excitement of mastering a new skill passed, Liang En began to research the identity of the person behind this card.

After all, he is not a student of art, knowing Repin is already the limit. As for this student of Repin, he has never heard of it before, so naturally he does not know the level of this painter.

Fortunately, it is the Internet age now, so after Liang En connected his mobile phone to the Internet, he soon found a series of information about the painter named Nicola Feshen.

Nikolai Feshen (1879-1955), a Russian-American painter, was born in a family of woodcarvers and craftsmen in Kazan, Russia.Repin's students have unique works, such as "Autumn", "Portrait of Kanuria", "Portrait of Father" and so on.

His paintings are bright in color, bright in contrast between light and dark, and expressive.His sketches are influenced by oriental traditional paintings. The sketches are drawn with charcoal on solid and smooth paper, which are unique and profound.

His artistic level has also been affirmed by his teacher. In 1926, when the great Russian painter Ilya Yefimovich Repin answered the question of who is the most talented contemporary painter, he said heartily: "Feshen !"

However, unlike his teacher, very few of Fei Shen's works have survived to this day, and the main remaining works are some later works scattered in the hands of various private collectors, resulting in his not being well-known.

The reason for this situation is that the artist lived a life of displacement, so many of his works were destroyed in wars and immigration, or were lost in international art exhibitions.

Even so, the prices of Feishen's works are not low, especially under the hype of those Russian oligarchs, the prices have been rising every year.For example, at an auction a few years ago, one of his oil paintings sold for a high price of 230 million pounds.

However, compared with oil paintings, sketches definitely cannot reach that price, but because Fei Shen is also good at drawing sketches besides oil paintings, especially figure sketches.

Therefore, the price of this sketching exercise book in Liang En's hands will not be too low.At least according to the auction prices of those similar works, if such a workbook can really go to auction, it may sell for 70 to 80 pounds.

But Liang En will definitely not sell these things, at least not in a short time.Because he is not short of money for the time being, and through the information he checked on the Internet just now, he knows that the price of this type of art has been rising for decades, which is a very good investment product.

The next day, Liang En took Fan Meng to the location of the gallery that he had inquired about at the banquet yesterday, to see if there was any chance of finding something similar there.

It turned out that the place where the original gallery was located has now become a huge foundation pit. Obviously, the new owner of this land intends to build a new building on the site of the gallery.

In this situation, don't expect to find anything, so Liang En and the others had no choice but to give up the next plan, and then returned to the hotel in despair.

Maybe it was a good time, but not long after Liang En and the others returned to the hotel, he received a call from Mr. Scold, saying that he hoped to have a chat with him before leaving.
