When Ye Tian and the others walked into the bar, a beautiful woman was reciting poems in French on the stage. Her voice was ups and downs, and her performance was very dedicated with her rich expressions and body movements!

The guests in the bar were all watching the beauty on the stage and listening to her recitation. They were also very dedicated and did not notice the guests who had just walked into the bar!

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian and the others stopped, stood at a little bit at the entrance of the bar, and enjoyed the performance on the stage!

Unlike most bars, the performance format of the Jitu Bar is very special. The main performance formats here are songs, humorous performances and poetry. They are very bourgeois and have a very artistic atmosphere!

The common songs and dances in other bars are not visible here at all. Even the very popular songs and music are hard to hear here!

Anyone who is familiar with the Cunning Rabbit Bar knows that this is a bar that talks about art and feels about art. If you like singing and dancing and enjoying luxury, you should go to the "Mold Mound Dance Hall".

While listening to the poetry recitation, Ye Tian also looked at the situation inside the Jitu Bar and felt the artistic atmosphere here!

The interior of the Jitu Bar is very simple and even a bit simple!

In addition to lighting and audio equipment, as well as various alcohol and beverages, everything else here remains the same as the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries!

The audience in the bar sat scattered on long benches or small wooden stools, watching the performance with relish. There was only a table in front of them, with either wine or drinks on it!

The scene in front of me is very similar to the scene of a party in China's factories or schools in the past, but this is a well-known art holy place!

The venue of the Jitu Bar is very small, and even if it is full, it cannot accommodate many guests. It is not difficult to understand why there are so many people queuing outside the bar, and the space is limited!

There are many paintings hanging on the walls around the bar, making it look less like a bar, more like an art salon, and more like a small theater!

In Ye Tian's eyes, the paintings hanging on the walls of the bar all emit dazzling white light, and each painting has a charming halo, more or less! But there are at least five or six layers!

Obviously, these artworks from different eras have certain artistic value and certain market value!

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian got a general understanding of the situation in the Jitu Bar, and then he withdrew his gaze and continued to enjoy the performance on the stage.

After the beauties on the stage finished reciting the poem, applause rang out, Ye Tian and the others continued to move forward, and came to the seat reserved for them by Little Fred, and each sat down.

"Steven, what do you drink? We have homemade fruity brandy, which is pretty good, and there are all other wines and drinks!"

Little Fred said with a smile, recommending drinks to Ye Tian and the others.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian continued:

“I’ve been famous for your homemade fruity brandy for a long time. Give me a drink, let others drink whatever they want and order them themselves.

This is the Jitu Bar, and it seems a bit out of place to hang out here. We came here not to drink, but to watch the performance!

Compared to wine, drinks, and wonderful performances, I want to see the antique artworks you collect, which is the most precious thing in the Cunning Rabbit Bar!”

"Okay, Steven, you order wine and drinks first. I'll get the artwork in stock. Please help me identify it!"

After saying that, Little Fred called a waiter and came to greet Ye Tian and the others. He walked to the office behind the bar with an excited expression!

It took not long before the drinks were served, and everyone immediately drank the drinks and enjoyed the show performed on the stage.

For safety reasons, Ye Tian had already turned on his perspective secretly, staring at the bartender's every move, and also staring at the drinks everyone ordered throughout the whole process until the drinks were served so that no one would hinder!

About ten minutes later, there were already seven or eight paintings in front of him, and the one on the top was a Cubist sketch.

When he saw this sketch, Ye Tian instantly made an accurate judgment based on the strength of the white light it emits, the number of halo layers, the style and other characteristics it showed.

But he pretended to be careful and carefully identified, then he looked up at Little Fred and said in surprise:

"Congratulations, Fred, little, this is a very good Cubist painting. The Cunning Rabbit Bar is worthy of being a famous art holy place, and it is indeed well-known!

I can basically be sure that this is a sketch by the master of Cubism George Brack. It was created around the 1920s, which was Brack's golden age.

In this Cubist sketch, we can see that the painter introduced letters and numbers into the painting, and his skills were very proficient, which is a major feature of Brack's paintings!

What I can't understand is that around the 1920s, Brack had become famous and carried the banner of Cubism with Picasso. How could he exchange paintings for wine?

Before Ye Tian finished speaking, bar owner Fred was already cheering in a low voice.

"Great! It's indeed Black's sketch, what a huge surprise!"

After celebrating a little, the guy quickly controlled his emotions and whispered in joy:

"It seems that my judgment is correct. I have always suspected that this was Black's sketch before, but there is no signature on the painting, and Black is dead, so there is no way to prove it!

Now that you have given the same identification conclusion, there is no doubt about it! Thank you, Steven, your vision is so sharp, even more powerful than the legendary one!

I don’t know why Brack used this painting to exchange for wine. In the early 20 years of the last century, the Jitu Bar did not belong to our family.

It was not until 1922 that the Jitu Bar was repurchased by my great-grandfather. At that time, this Cubist sketch was in the bar warehouse and has been kept to this day.

I don’t know whether my great-grandfather and grandfather had asked Blank for this sketch, nor did I leave any relevant records. After Blank died, there was no way to verify it!

Not to mention the history of this Cubist sketch, Steven, can you evaluate the market value of this sketch and what is its value? I would like to know about it!"

Ye Tian nodded slightly and then gave the answer.

"No problem, this sketch has extraordinary artistic value, but after all, it is just a sketch, and there is no signature from the author. As far as the current art market is concerned, it should be worth about 130,000 euros!"

"Wow! Thirteen thousand euros are really an extremely moving number!"

Little Fred cheered in a low voice, and was so excited that he was dancing.

Next, Ye Tian helped him identify several paintings without the author's signature, all of which were used by painters who had visited the Jitu Bar but were short of money to exchange for wine!

Among them are works by famous painters before they become famous, as well as paintings written by unknown painters. The values ​​of the two are naturally different!

Like Brack's previous sketches, these paintings are not signed by the author, and they are relatively old, so Fred was doubtful in his heart, so he took them out for Ye Tian to identify them.

After identifying more than a dozen paintings Fred took out one after another, Ye Tian admired other paintings hanging in the Jitu Bar, including several paintings hanging in the office area behind!

During this process, Ye Tian habitually turned on the perspective in secret, completely looking through the Jingtu Bar without missing a corner.

From perspective, several famous paintings hidden by Little Fred in the office safe were immediately clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes, and he was transparent!

Without exception, these famous paintings have author signatures, with clear origins and great value. Of course, Fred would not hang them outside!

Although I can't own them, it's good to appreciate them. Ye Tian, ​​who completely lost the possibility of finding a bargain, could only comfort himself like this!

It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening that Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left the Jitu Bar, and took a bus to the "Mold Mound Ballroom" near the White Square at the foot of the Montmartre Heights.

But unfortunately, when they arrived at the Moulin Rouge, the most famous dance hall in France was already full and no longer accepted new guests!

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian and the others had to leave with regret and take a bus back to the Regina Hotel!
Chapter completed!
