The 1389th chapter post-impressionist masterpiece
About three minutes later, Ye Tian finally took off the surface Susanna painting and held it in his hand.
At this time, everyone's eyes in the gallery were attracted by the white cloth tied to the back panel. Although everyone saw only a white cloth, that white cloth contained infinite possibilities!
As for the Susanna paintings in Ye Tian’s hand, no one cares about them!
Ye Tian looked at Susanna's painting in his hand, then gently rolled it up and handed it to Betty standing next to him, and did not immediately load it into the telescopic painting tube.
He now only has two painting tubes. After he takes out Gauguin's painting, he will put it in the same painting tube with Susanna's oil painting scroll!
They were originally from the same place, and they involved the romantic affairs between the two. It was undoubtedly the most appropriate to put them together. Perhaps this is Susanna's original intention!
Not only that, when the auction is in the future, Ye Tian is also planning to tie these two oil paintings together and conduct a public auction, creating a good story in art history!
Ye Tian squatted down again and began to disassemble the white cloth tied to the back plate. He was still very careful in his movements, gentle as if he was stroking his first love!
Unlike before, this time he did not rush to lift a corner of the white cloth, but instead pulled out the nails of the white cloth one by one in an orderly manner, preparing to reveal the answer at the last moment!
It is completely conceivable that when Gauguin's outstanding painting debuts, this small barbizon gallery will definitely be completely boiling!
As Ye Tian's movements, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more tense. Everyone's eyes were full of expectations, staring at the white cloth stretched on the back!
Even the unlucky Albert was the same. He wanted to see how blind he was and what quality he missed!
"Bang!"
With a slight sound, the last nail with a white cloth had been pulled down by Ye Tian.
Due to the long-term fixation, the white cloth did not dissipate and was still stretched on the back panel, covering the painting below!
Ye Tian put the tools in his hand aside, then quickly glanced at the scene and said excitedly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time to witness the miracle has come! I believe that there must be a huge surprise hidden under this white cloth, otherwise Susanna would not have been so attentive!"
"Steven, please uncover the white cloth quickly and see what kind of painting is hidden below. This is so exciting!"
"That's right, Steven, we can't wait to witness the miracle!"
Everyone said verbally, everyone looked impatient and extremely excited!
"Okay, it's better to obey your orders than respect, please open your eyes!"
As he said that, Ye Tian quickly lifted up the four corners of the white cloth and gently lifted it from the back panel.
The next moment, the painting, which was covered under the white cloth and hidden for dozens or hundreds of years, finally saw the light of day again and appeared in front of everyone.
You can see that it is also a human body portrait, the same as Susanna's painting, but the style is very different, and you can see some similarities in painting techniques!
In that painting, a beautiful woman in a long dress is dancing on a grass.
The distance of the picture is a hill, lush forest, and the close-up is a meadow, a beautiful woman dancing, and a gurgling stream!
The beautiful woman's facial contour was not clear, and the lines of her face and body were even a bit exaggerated. The distant mountains and forests, as well as the grass and streams nearby were all presented with strong strips of color!
The picture presented in the whole painting is simple and simple, yet full of enthusiasm. The images in the painting are highly generalized, simple and both form and spirit. The picture has a strong decorative and formal beauty.
The painter uses special compositions and bright colors to organize various elements together, making the formal composition between each element connected, making the painting full of a sense of form, order, rhythm and rhythm.
The painting attached to the walnut back panel has a size similar to the back panel, with four sides flush with the edges of the back panel, almost no difference!
From this point of view, it can be seen that this solid wood back panel is made according to the painting, so that it can be achieved without any difference and is so consistent!
From this, it is conjecture that when drawing the oil painting of the human body portrait outside, Susanna may have also referred to the size of the oil painting below to determine the size of her work!
There is only one purpose of doing this, which is to hide the paintings below as perfectly as possible.
In fact, Susanna did do it, until Ye Tian appeared in this gallery!
As the painting appeared in front of everyone, the small gallery was quiet for a while, and then it became a noisy.
"Wow! It's indeed an oil painting, which is a beautiful young woman, so beautiful!"
"This seems to be a post-impressionist painting, yes, this is post-impressionism! Could it be a gift from a post-impressionist master to his lover Susanna?"
While Betty and the others were talking, Albert fell into a state of dismay.
Unlike Betty and the others, he is a gallery operator and a veritable art expert.
Almost in a flash, he could see that this oil painting was extraordinary and was most likely a priceless work of art!
While confirming this, he also understood what he had missed.
There is no doubt that Steven sacked himself crazily! Just like those idiots who ransacked the Holy Tuan frivolous goods market, he could not escape such a tragic fate!
It’s a pity that I was just complacent about this art deal, I was so blind!
"Post-Impressionist painting! The woman in the painting is Susanna, this is Paul Gauguin's style. Oh my God, what did I miss?"
Albert murmured to himself, his voice was extremely painful, and his whole body was about to collapse!
"What? Paul Gauguin, how is this possible?"
Anderson exclaimed, and immediately turned to look at Albert.
The others were the same, and they were all shocked by Albert's words.
Who is Gauguin? He is one of the three great masters of Post-Impressionism! He is as famous as Cezanne and Van Gogh. How valuable is his paintings? I can't imagine it!
Everyone looked at Albert, then quickly turned around, looked at the painting attached to the back plate, and looked at Ye Tian. Everyone was extremely excited and looked forward to Ye Tian's answer!
Ye Tian turned his head and looked at Albert, then turned around and carefully admired the painting, and then gave a clear answer.
"Albert is right. This is a post-impressionist painting, and it is an unquestionable top-notch work of art. Both expression techniques and painting skills have reached the pinnacle!
This beautiful woman in a long dress and dancing on the grass was Susanna in her youth. At that time, she could be said to be one of the most famous women in the Paris art circle and a public lover!
That's right, this is indeed Gauguin's work. Only he would paint Susanna like this. You can also see it in Gauguin's other works. Susanna is not only his lover, but also his student!
The extremely brilliant painting techniques and the unique image of Susanna are enough to illustrate the origin and value of this painting, but more important evidence is here, and Gauguin's signature here! "
As he said that, Ye Tian pointed at the lower right corner of the painting, his eyes full of pride!
Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked at the lower right corner of the painting, where there was a darker color block, which clearly stated ‘P. Gauguin’, followed by the creation year!
Although the string of signatures is sloppy, it is clearly visible and there is no doubt about it!
Without surprise, the moment I saw Gauguin’s signature, this small gallery was completely exploded!
"Oh my God! It's really a work by Gauguin, one of the three famous Post-Impressionist masters, it's simply incredible!"
"If I remember correctly, Gauguin's "When Are You Getting Married" sold at a sky-high price of $300 million. So how much is this portrait of Susanna painted by Gauguin?
Coupled with the emotional entanglement between Gauguin and Susanna, as well as the series of well-known romantic events in art history, it will undoubtedly enhance the value of this painting!
Combining these aspects, this Gauguin painting will surely be sold at an amazing price, and may create a brand new record, which would be great!”
Ye Tian looked at the ecstatic Betty and the others, then chuckled and said:
"I dare not assert whether this Gauguin painting, "Portrait of Susanna", can create a new transaction record. It requires the cooperation of various conditions such as the right time, place, and people, and none of them are missing!
But with the artistic value of this painting and my understanding of the market conditions of the artwork, I can be sure that the value of this "Portrait of Susanna" will never be less than 25 million US dollars!
If you choose a good time to give this Gauguin painting to the top auction and then run it well, I believe that its final transaction price will be much higher than the valuation I gave!”
Before he finished speaking, the small gallery was already boiling again, and everyone exclaimed in surprise with their heads in their arms!
Chapter completed!
