Chapter 375: Picasso in the Western Hemisphere


What Ye Tian was referring to was an oil painting on canvas hanging behind the stall owner.
The size of the oil painting is small, about fifty centimeters wide and forty centimeters high.
This is still a typical Latin American style painting. The magical realism is very obvious, and there is a bit of Indian culture.
The main body of the picture is a black girl sitting on the ground, naked, with dark complexion, her hands hanging in front of her, hiding her private parts, her expression helpless and painful, her eyes staring forward, her eyes full of sadness and confusion.
The background behind the girl is basically black, with a burning flame.
The sad expression, black skin, black background, and distorted and exaggerated outlines and lines make this painting look very gloomy and dull, giving people a strong sense of depression!
Through the image of the girl displayed on the screen, people can clearly experience the painter's compassion and sympathy for the people at the bottom, black people, as well as the complaints and dissatisfaction with reality!
There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece of Latin American art! It must come from the hands of the master!
It's a pity that there is no signature on the painting, nor any other textual information, so it's clean! No way of knowing who made it!
Although this is a famous painting with extraordinary skills, no one cares about it here!
Its pictures are too gloomy and depressing, obviously unpopular with people; and there are not many Americans who know Latin American art, especially in the relatively closed states of the central and southern regions!
In addition, this painting is based on a black girl as a model, and the picture is almost completely dark. In the southern United States where whites are the majority and racism is rampant, almost no one pays attention!
In the eyes of many people here, this painting is probably worthless, and they simply dismiss it! It is a kind of luck to be able to keep it intact until now!
But in Ye Tian's eyes, this is a top-level artwork with a white glow and more than a dozen layers of charming halo. It has extraordinary artistic value and has a very high market value!
Based on the intensity of the white light, Ye Tian was very sure that this is a top-level artwork created in the mid-1950s.
More than a dozen layers of fascinating halos, extraordinary painting skills, proficient magical realism expression techniques, and the contents of the pictures like praying and crying, etc.
Combining these characteristics, Ye Tian knew instantly that this oil painting was a masterpiece of the artist!
This is a painting by Guayasamin, a national treasure painter in Latin America, a top-level work of Latin American art, with extraordinary artistic value and market value. Ye Tian is very sure of this judgment.
Guayasamin, a representative figure of Latin American art, is not only a master of Ecuadorian painting, but also enjoys a high reputation in the world of painting. He is known as'Picasso of the Western Hemisphere and Marquez with a paintbrush'.
From the surname Guayasamin, you can see his Indian origin.
He was born in Quito, Ecuador, from a poor Indo-European family.
Quito is where he studied and grew up. It was here that he became the most famous painter and leftist cultural master in Latin America, the pride of Ecuador, the pride of Latin America!
In his rich creative career, he has created more than 5,000 works in total. He is a highly productive painter!
His work not only embodies the essence of Ecuador's multiculturalism, but also voices resistance against injustice, inequality, social exclusion, and class exploitation.
He is full of compassion and concern for the working people of the lower classes, and turns his strong emotions into the source of his creation, and accuses real life through his unique artistic expression.
Guayasamin has always been committed to defending human rights, exposing the atrocities committed by a group of people against another group of people through war, bombing, dictatorship, suppression, imprisonment, murder, etc.
These works have deeply shocked and influenced audiences all over the world, and they have also won him a high reputation worldwide!
"My painting is to make people hurt, to sting and awaken people's hearts, to show what a group of people do to fight another group of people."
As Guayasamin said, this is the most true portrayal of his lifelong mission to deliver human peace.
From the oil painting in front of him, from the sad eyes of the black girl in the painting, Ye Tian clearly felt the angry protests and shouts, and heard the voice of accusation!
In addition to the extraordinary artistic value of this oil painting, Ye Tian also saw a lot of market value.
Guayasamin's works have always been of high value, especially in the Latin American art collection market, they are the top collections that countless people are chasing wildly, and auction records of more than tens of millions of dollars abound!
This oil painting was created in the 1950s, and the 1950s was the peak period of Guayasamin's artistic career. Many famous works were created!
There is no doubt that the oil painting in front of me must be a masterpiece of Guayasamin, and it must be of extraordinary value!
Start with ten million dollars! Ye Tian is very confident about this valuation.
While appreciating the oil painting in secret, Ye Tian performed a perspective as usual.
The sight is all over!
After shoveling the paint, canvas, frame, every brushstroke, and even the entire process of creation, all the details of this oil painting are very clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes.
The painting is not without the author's signature, but it is hard to find with the naked eye!
Under perspective, Ye Tian saw the two letters of ‘’ at a glance. The fonts are very small and hidden in the flames. The font color is similar to the flames. It is difficult to detect them without careful observation.
‘’ is the abbreviation of Guayasamin’s name. It often appears in his works. Ye Tian saw it in moma in New York!
In addition to the abbreviated name, there is also the year of creation, 1956, which is also hidden in the flames, very hidden!
Seeing this, Ye Tian was immediately even more delighted!
Undoubtedly, this is the most powerful evidence for the identification of oil paintings. There is no doubt that their findings will greatly enhance the market value of this oil painting!
With regard to this oil painting, Ye Tian has mastered everything.
All we have to do now is to find ways to get it in the bag and make a lot of money!
In this process, if nothing happens, you must show that it must not arouse the vigilance of the stall owner.
The action went very smoothly, Ye Tian had already approached the goal step by step without showing any abnormalities! The stall owner also didn't notice anything!
...
"This oil painting was collected in Mississippi. I didn't know that it was the work of that painter. At that time, it felt okay, so I collected it and wanted to take it to Corridor 127 for sale.
But who would have thought that since I came here, this painting has hardly been taken care of, and even the black buddies are dismissive of it, and they are about to fall in their hands! "
The stall owner shook his head with a wry smile, and at the same time looked back at the oil painting.
His tone was helpless, and he was annoyed by his wrong judgment!
At this time, his mind was focused on two jade articles, constantly measuring the price, whether he wanted to sell this pair of jade articles for a price of 40,000 US dollars!
This is the best time Ye Tian has been waiting for! Where can I miss it!
With the stall owner's hesitation and troubles, Ye Tian brought the topic to the oil painting very naturally, and successfully brought the stall owner into the ditch!
"No one cares about it! This oil painting is in Latin American style, people may not like it; the painting is again a black naked girl, don't forget, this is Georgia!
Moreover, the tone and theme of this painting are too dark and depressing, and it is not suitable for hanging at home, so even black brothers would not be interested in this painting! "
Ye Tian explained a few words, the analysis was excellent, and there were still no flaws.
"Steven, do you know that this is the work of that painter? If you know, I would love to find out; if you can buy this oil painting, that would be great!"
The stall owner looked at Ye Tian and said, his eyes lit up.
He was a little ill and sought medical treatment, and wanted to dispose of this oil painting as soon as possible, and bring it back to Colorado after the province!
"I'm very sorry, buddy, I don't know that this is the painter's work. I can only recognize Latin American styles. Human body oil paintings with black girls as models are rare, so I am curious.
If the price is cheap, I would like to buy this oil painting and go back and study it. To be honest, I am still more interested in Latin American art. Since I have encountered it, I certainly can't miss it.
If the price is too expensive, then forget it, buddy's money is not from the wind! There is no need to waste a lot of dollars on the work of an unknown artist, it is not worth it!
Okay, I'll talk about this later, let's talk about the two jade items, this is the baby I want, $40,000, have you considered it? You can trade at any time! "
Ye Tianxiao said, turning the topic to the mandarin duck handle.
Can't talk about oil painting anymore, lest the stall owner becomes suspicious, and he will lose if he speaks too much! Ye Tian still understands this truth!
Seeing that Ye Tian turned the topic off, that little suspicion that the stall owner had just raised immediately disappeared, and his focus returned to the two jade articles and the US dollar that was about to be acquired.
At this point he already understood that 5 million dollars was nothing! It's all moisture!
It is impossible to expect this little jade to make a fortune! The strategy must be changed!
"Steven, I know 5 million is a bit ridiculous, but is 40,000 dollars too low? 100,000 dollars! This price is reasonable!"
The stall owner thought about it a bit and gave a new price.
"Man, the price is still too high. Just now you have seen information on the Internet. There are few jade items that are similar to these two pieces that exceed $100,000!
The price can go up a little, 45,000 US dollars, this is my final price, you think about it, if you are still not satisfied, then you can only say regret."
5000 dollars more than just now! not bad!
The stall owner was very satisfied with the price, and he couldn't wait to nod immediately, but who would bite his hand because of the money? He still returned the price habitually!
"US$80,000! Steven, you can own these two exquisite jades for only US$80,000. For you, this little money is not worth mentioning! It's so easy!"
"Man, it's the same sentence just now. Nobody's money came from the wind. I won't pay 80,000 US dollars for these two jade articles. You and I know the truth!
US$45,000 is the final price and it doesn’t change anymore! But I can add another 5,000 US dollars, but I have to count the Latin American style oil painting in it, even if it is the money for the oil painting.
A total of 50,000 US dollars, if the transaction is done, cash or check, bank transfer will do, but if not, we will continue to visit the stalls at the back, you will wait for other buyers! "
Ye Tian reported the final price, with a firm tone, very firm!
He is very sure in his heart that this deal will definitely be won, and the stall owner will never give up the 50,000 dollars in front of him and wait for the next buyer who may not appear!
If it happens, and the deal collapses, it doesn't matter, and Bowie, who will follow up, will take down these antique works of art!
Bowie has arrived at this courtyard market, and is looking for goods at a stall not far behind! When you receive the news, you will be able to act immediately to ensure that nothing is lost!
By then, the two handle pieces may be out of play, but Guayasamin’s oil painting definitely did not run away! Must belong to buddies! No one can steal it!
The stall owner pretended to be pondering, but he was already happy!
$50,000! It's also a small profit! This is the largest order of this year's 127 corridor tour, and it must not be missed!
Corridor 127 will end in a few days, and there will be no more shop after passing this village!
"Okay! Man, think about it first, come to me when you think about it, but you need to make a decision quickly, I can't stay here for a few minutes! There are not many stalls behind!"
Ye Tian put on another tight curse, forcing the stall owner to make a quick decision, minimizing his time for thinking and verifying!
After speaking, Ye Tian turned and walked towards the predator, his footsteps very determined!
$50,000! Never miss it! Who knows if Steven will change his mind after he leaves? If he changes his mind and doesn't buy it, he will lose a lot!
Thinking of this, the stall owner suddenly became anxious, and he still had the mind to think about other things, and immediately said loudly:
"Steven, please stay here. The sale was made for $50,000! Two pieces of jade and the Latin American oil painting, after the payment is completed, they belong to you!"
Take it! Dude makes another big profit! That's cool!
Ye Tian squeezed his fist secretly and almost cheered excitedly.
But his expression was normal, he just chuckled softly, there was still no flaws!
He quickly suppressed the excitement ~EbookFREE.me~ He turned around, smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Ok! $50,000 was done, cash or check?"
"Deal! Cash, counting money feels the most exciting!"
The stall owner said excitedly, shaking hands very hard and smiling very brightly.
"Hahaha, I also like the green Franklin!"
Ye Tian laughed, a smell of joy in his laughter.
The deal is concluded, and another piece of treasure is started!
