Chapter 967 The girl in the painting
Musk and Lisa followed Daphne to the second floor of the art collection, strolling and chatting in the gallery.

The other guests were all on the first floor, and there were only three of them in the gallery.

Daphne's artistic accomplishment came into play here, and she introduced the paintings on the wall to the two guests while walking.

Unknowingly, the three of them came to a work whose style was very different from classical oil paintings.

Daphne stopped, surprisingly did not introduce the origin of the painting on the wall, looked up at the woman in the painting, was speechless, with complex expressions in her eyes, she couldn't tell if it was jealousy or envy.

Musk and Lisa noticed Daphne's emotional changes, and looked at the wall with curiosity, wondering what magic power the painting had, which made Daphne dazzled.

The painting is about the beach near Manderley Manor. Under the summer sun, a girl is walking on the beach with a parasol, and her snow-white dress is blown up by the sea breeze.

The theme of this painting is very simple, but the techniques used are quite peculiar. The finely drawn lines of classical oil paintings are completely invisible.

The whole painting is composed of large and small color spots. The moment the line of sight touches the picture, it is as if looking directly at the noon sun, and the colors are so intense that it is dizzying.

If you look at this painting according to the traditional point of view, it can only be said that it is too rough. The artist didn't even make a sketch in advance, just smeared on the canvas like a drunk, and it can't be regarded as a complete work at all.

However, after taking a second look, Musk tasted a magical and indescribable charm from the painting.

It is true that this painting lacks delicate and realistic lines, and both the background and the characters are blurred. However, it is precisely this sense of blur, against the background of strong colors, that shows a more vivid reality than the realistic classical works of fine brushwork. feel.

Musk imagined himself being there, standing on the hot summer beach, dizzy from the sun, when a girl in white came from a distance with an umbrella.

Due to the dazzling reflection of the beach, the scene that came into view in a hurry, the delicate lines can't be seen clearly at all, isn't it just so blurry?Only with strong contrasting colors can you leave a deep impression on yourself.

"This is the work of the contemporary painter Oscar Claude." Lisa finally recovered and began to introduce the painting.

"Contemporary painter?" Musk raised his eyebrows in surprise.

With his limited artistic accomplishment, he always thought that the older the paintings, the more artistic value, and the works of painters who are still alive are not worth collecting.

"Is this Mr. Oscar Claude very famous?"

"He is not well-known now, and it can even be said that his livelihood is poor. However, he is an artistic genius and is creating a new art genre. Although the public cannot appreciate this style yet, I believe that one day, Oscar Crow Mr. De will become a great painter recorded in art history." Lisa replied seriously.

"Good guy! Another underappreciated genius!" Musk shrugged and joked half-jokingly: "If I were an artist, I would rather be sought after by vulgar petty citizens during my lifetime. Worry-free, and I don’t want to be poor all my life, only to become famous after death.”

Lisa gave him an angry look, implying that if he doesn't understand art, don't talk nonsense, it's embarrassing here.

"Daphne, this painting is very unique. I'm more interested in the identity of the model. Is she also from Manderley Manor?"

Daphne nodded, no smile on her face.

"If I'm not mistaken, the girl in white in the painting is your husband's former wife, Mrs. Rebecca Wenders?"

"That's right, the girl in the painting is Rebecca."

Perhaps because she got rid of Mrs. Danvers' supervision, Daphne seemed to relax a lot. Under Lisa's ingenious insinuations, this little woman with no city in her chest finally expressed her thoughts.

"Lisa, for the sake of the Lord, please tell me frankly, do you think I am a small-hearted person?"

"On the contrary, dear Daphne, your greatest weakness is to think of others more than your own interests." Lisa said sincerely.

"Oh, you are so kind, Lisa, thank you for your comfort, it makes me feel much better." Lisa said with a sad face, "Mrs. Danvers...is a very strict housekeeper, she tried to make me Cinderella from the commoner class, raised to be a social queen of the upper class, just like her former mistress Rebecca..."

"I don't know what to say, dear Lisa, but this home is full of traces left by Rebecca, such as this gallery, where there are many paintings by modern art masters that Rebecca collected, I have to admit that she has extraordinary artistic taste, no wonder Mrs. Danvers never leaves her former owner and admires her from the bottom of her heart."

"I envy Rebecca...Frankly speaking, maybe I'm jealous of her. It would be great if I had her beauty, nobility and taste. When Mrs. Danvers compares me with her, she doesn't As for feeling ashamed."

What Lisa heard from Daphne's complaint was not jealousy, but a strong inferiority complex.

In fact, even before she married into a wealthy family, she often showed feelings of inferiority, which can only be said to be due to nature.

"Daphne, you have to think about the good..." Lisa comforted her friend and encouraged her to cheer up, "You have such a beautiful manor, you have money that you can't spend in a lifetime, popular fashion, luxurious jewelry, everything you expect, and finally The important thing is that you still have a husband who loves you deeply, so what else do you have to be ashamed of?"

Unexpectedly, her consolation touched Daphne's knot in her heart that she was trying to hide.

"I love my husband so much... Is this really the case?" Daphne's eyes were confused, "Lisa, it's hard to say, since I returned to Manderley Manor, Maxim's attitude towards me has become colder. He was depressed and seemed preoccupied. I tried to cheer him up, but it was useless, and it would make him lose his temper... Maybe I shouldn't have accepted his marriage proposal at all. Miss you more than your love for me."

Speaking of this, Daphne couldn't help the red eyes, almost choked up.

"Well, I don't blame Maxim. If I were a man and once had a perfect wife, how could I maintain my long-lasting passion for an ordinary Cinderella?"

"Daphne, you shouldn't think so!" Lisa held her hand tightly, "Your husband is in a bad mood this time, it doesn't mean that there is a crack in your relationship, or you miss your dead wife or something, in fact, his His dead wife brought him more trouble than nostalgia!"
