Chapter 203 Magical Change
The times are developing, and the techniques of painting have been improving. No matter what kind of painting it is, there must be a big difference between modern skills and hundreds of years ago.
Let’s not talk about other topics, just talk about character pictures. In the eyes of today’s people, ancient character pictures are very strange and not very coordinated.
Either fat or big face, and disproportionate body.
It was not until after the Ming Dynasty that Western paintings were introduced to the Central Plains and gradually merged with Chinese paintings, and the distortion of figure paintings was improved.
This is the progress of techniques and aesthetics.
Now, he not only restored the murals painted by Bai Ye, but also created them again. In the original pictures, whether they were emperors, gods, or fairies, they basically had big pancake faces, and their figure was even fat and full of flesh.
There is no way, in ancient times, fat people were basically wealthy families and powerful people. I have never heard of ordinary people, who can eat fat?
So in the eyes of ancient painters, gods must be fat.
Can someone who is not fat be called a god?
However, the aesthetics of the ancients certainly did not meet the standards of Baiye. So when painting murals, he made some modifications and made a small "beautification" of the figure and appearance of the gods to make them conform to modern aesthetic interests.
In his writing, the emperor and the general are elegant and luxurious, and extraordinary, and have a standard and upright figure, showing a heroic atmosphere.
As for the fairies, their figures must be very graceful, and their facial features have become very delicate, which is more in line with the public's fantasy of ancient beauties.
In short, it was because of such a "magic transformation" that it took him more than a month but failed to complete the mural.
Despite this, he was willing to accept it.
After all, he has been a long time and has not exerted his passion like this. So he was a little unhappy about Fan Ji'an and others' disturbances and barely dealt with...
"Wu Daozi, have you ever painted the Eighty Seven Immortal Scrolls? The Eighty Scrolls are really related to the Chaoyuan Immortal Staff Picture?"
However, at this time, questions came to Fan Ji'an and others. They were eager to get some answers from Bai Ye's mouth.
However, Baiye no longer responded to them. He continued to carry a brush and outlined smooth lines on the snow-white walls.
"you……"
Seeing this, some people felt offended and wanted to scold them. Fan Ji'an waved his hand and stopped him.
"Let's go."
Fan Ji'an pondered for a while and asked everyone to leave.
When I walked outside the temple gate, someone gritted his teeth and said, "This kid is so arrogant."
"Arrogant, arrogant."
"Not respecting the elderly at all..."
There are endless criticisms. However, if you study it carefully, you can find that these slanderous words are mostly from the mouths of others.
Fan Ji'an and a few old men were basically silent, but on the contrary, they also showed a look of thinking, as if they were thinking about something.
After a while, an old man asked, "Brother Fan, what do you think?"
Fan Ji'an understood the problem of being mindless and hesitated: "I think... we should check the information."
“It makes sense.”
"Walk!"
Several people made a decision, just like they came with decisive actions, and now they left immediately, regardless of the others' stay or leave.
"Well?"
When some people saw this, they were naturally stunned and dull. It turns out that they cursed for a long time, but it was just a waste of time.
Anyway, after Fan Ji'an and others left, the architect led by Jiang Yuan also left with a little disdainful look.
For a moment, only some people were left looking at each other and smiling awkwardly.
How to say it, I feel a little cold and a little embarrassed. Alas, it won’t be enough to please them, but instead makes them look like villains.
Although this is a fact, it is a bit unhappy to be exposed just like this.
snort……
They left, too.
However, shortly after they left, explosive news began to spread among various art forums. The titles of posts were either straightforward or thrilling, but they were very eye-catching anyway.
Everyone opened the post and read the content, and was shocked.
Wu Daozi, Wu Zongyuan, Bai Ye...
Eighty-Seven Immortal Scroll, Chaoyuan Immortal Staff Picture.
These keywords are actually related, which is really surprising.
Is it true or false? Everyone is inevitably suspicious. After all, in everyone's impression, Bai Ye should not be related to Chinese painting.
But after all the details were constantly disclosed, public opinion began to boil.
Many people suddenly became interested and began to discuss.
The hot topics are basically concentrated on... Has Wu Daozi really painted works on the subject of the Eighty Seven Immortals Scrolls? Did Wu Zongyuan’s Chaoyuan Immortal Staff Picture really copy this work by Wu Daozi?
Interesting propositions make people argue endlessly and enjoy it.
After a long discussion, everyone basically came to several conclusions. First, there is no record of the so-called Eighty-Seven Immortals in the current literary and historical materials. Second, Wu Zongyuan's Immortal Staff Picture of Chaoyuan is only preserved in documentary records. The pictures have been lost, and everyone does not know the specific appearance.
The third white leaf mural...what is the situation?
There is no picture alone.
Noisy!
In an instant, several people who posted were urging them to draw pictures. Everyone had a unified opinion, no picture or truth, and not posting pictures was like a hooligan and reported it.
With unity, someone posted pictures. Clear and high-definition large pictures, even if they are only partial, are enough to make people see the clues.
At first glance, under the lively posts, it suddenly became silent.
Zhonghai, Yu family.
Yu Chi held the light laptop, and the moment he saw the photo, his hands almost trembled and threw the laptop.
He was startled, jumped up immediately, and rushed to the study.
"dad……"
In the study, Yu Hao was playing with a purple clay teapot and tasting the tea. Seeing Yu Chi breaking in, he kept his calm expression: "What's wrong? Where is the fire?"
"Look."
Yu Chi handed the laptop over without saying a word.
Yu Hao watched intently, his eyes set and a strange color flashed: "This is..."
"Baiye's mural." Yu Chi immediately explained: "He has been obsessed with mural creation in Hangzhou for a while..."
"I heard you say it."
Yu Hao nodded: "It's just that you didn't tell me, it's a simple drawing."
"I only know..."
Yu Chi scratched his head and said, "I always thought he was creating oil paintings. After all, Western murals are mostly oil paintings."
Speaking of which, it is also interesting. Whether in the East or the West, the prosperity of painting art begins with murals, which is also a common feature.
“So this work…”
Yu Hao suddenly looked up: "Did you show it to him?"
“Eh?”
Yu Chi was stunned and stunned: "Isn't it you?"
Chapter completed!
