Chapter 265 Carpenter Level Six
The middle-aged beautiful woman who just asked to buy Zhang Junping's giant woodcarving is Gao Meiqing, the dean of the Art Department of Hong Kong Chinese University.
Gao Meiqing didn't take Zhang Junping's words to heart.
The so-called keeping research by oneself is just that one's own price is not enough.
Therefore, Gao Meiqing is more concerned about who Yang Mingde and Liu Manning are in Lin Fengmian's mouth. "Old Lin, who are Xiao Yang and Manning in your mouth?"
"Xiao Yang was a well-known talent in the capital back then, Long Shuncheng's young boss, who was proficient in calligraphy, painting and wood carving and was known as the three masters.
Long Shuncheng was the royal furniture workshop and the largest hardwood furniture dealer in BJ.
Manning is relatively low-key, so it's not surprising that you don't know.
Liu Manning is a noble lady in the capital city. Her ancestors were once the second-rank officials of the Qing Dynasty, and the left servant of the official department.
When Manning was young, she traveled to Britain and various European countries. Her sculptures are a combination of Chinese and Western characteristics, forming a unique style.
It is deeply loved by the upper classes of European countries such as the United Kingdom, and has also been received by the Queen of England.
If it weren't for Manning's return to China wholeheartedly, Manning might become the first Chinese dame.
These two are masters who are not short of money, so I say you have to show sincerity. "Lin Fengmian was in a good mood and explained clearly.
Gao Meiqing's face was full of shock. When the audience mentioned Yang Mingde and Liu Manning just now, they all treated them with respect, thinking that these two are emerging artists in mainland China.
Unexpectedly, there is such a prominent origin.
I also know that I just bid 100 million Hong Kong dollars a bit abruptly.
Although Gao Meiqing is the director of the Art Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, she is more like an art dealer than an artist.
She has the intellectual beauty of culture and the shrewdness of a businessman.
I am also a famous art collector. I have many paintings by famous modern painters such as Zhang Daqian and Xu Beihong.
Gao Meiqing proposed to collect Zhang Junping's woodcarvings, naturally for the purpose of appreciation.
There are comments from Jao Tsung-I and Lin Fengmian, plus this is a work full of the era background of mainland China.
There is huge room for appreciation in the future.
Everyone around looked at Zhang Junping with eyes full of envy and jealousy.
If you say you are better than yourself, that’s fine, we admit that you are great.
But your mastery is still so awesome, the most exaggerated thing is that you actually have two of such great masters.
And let no one live?
"Old Rao, I think you just discovered something different, can you give us some pointers?" Xiao Huirong asked with a smile what everyone wanted to know.
Xiao Huirong is considered to be a new generation of artist. He is in his 40s, which is a critical moment for his youth to be vigorous and his career to rise.
Xiao Huirong is not as withdrawn as ordinary painters. On the contrary, he is slick and sociable, and has a good relationship with many old artists.
The year before last, I felt that I was restrained in China and could not give full play to my creative passion, so I left China and went to Xiangjiang.
In the 80s, many people left China for this reason. It seems that only the air abroad is free and can inspire enthusiasm for creation.
Whether it is right or wrong, Zhang Junping does not want to comment.
Anyway, he feels that the country is pretty good.
"This woodcarving, as you all have seen, has already broken away from the category of craftsman, and has officially been promoted to be a master.
It can be said that this is the promotional work of a woodcarver, and since then there has been another master woodcarver in the world.
However, this is not what surprised Rao and I. "Speaking of this, Lin Fengmian made a fool of himself and paused.
After enjoying everyone's attention, eagerness, and anticipation for a while, Lin Fengmian continued to speak: "Look carefully, here, here, here, there is an invisible gap.
Ingenious workmanship, it is really unique, ingenious workmanship! " Lin Fengmian clicked his tongue and praised.
As soon as Lin Fengmian's words fell, everyone took out their magnifying glasses one after another, and searched for the gaps in Lin Fengmian's words.
Under Lin Fengmian's guidance, everyone finally found those hidden deep gaps, but their hearts became dazed again.
Find the gap, what does it mean?
Have a question about the material for woodcarving?
This is impossible, if there is a problem with the material, then Lin Fengmian will definitely not give a comment of "unique ingenuity, ingenious workmanship".
So what is it?
It was still Xiao Huirong, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed loudly: "Could it be that this giant wood carving is not a whole, but assembled from many wood carvings?"
Both Lin Fengmian and Rao Zongyi nodded to Xiao Huirong in satisfaction.
"If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Xiaoyou has combined wood carving and mortise and tenon structure.
A piece of wood carving is divided into several parts, and then connected with a mortise and tenon structure. "Lin Fengmian asked Zhang Junping with a smile.
It is said to be an inquiry, but in fact, I already have the answer in my heart.
"You are so wise! This wood carving is the second one I have done.
The first one, Master said that my work is full of craftsmanship, and then told me a word.
After enlightenment, I made this second piece, and thought about participating in the Xiangjiang exhibition. The woodcarving works are too large to be transported, so I used the mortise and tenon structure to turn a huge woodcarving into one hundred and eight small woodcarvings..." Zhang Junping bowed slightly to Lin Fengmian, and then explained.
"Hahaha!
Art comes from life. Many of our current works of art, or many crafts and crafts called art.Initially, the purpose of the ancestors to create them was to improve life or just for convenience.
For example, painting, which originated much earlier than writing, was a means for ancient humans to record major events. " Rao Zongyi said with a big laugh.
As for the others, their eyes were even more envious and jealous.
Are you talking about people?
Co-authored you to create a piece of assembleable wood sculpture praised by the boss, just for the convenience of transportation.
Some girls from the Art Department of Hong Kong Chinese University looked at Zhang Junping with fiery eyes.
So handsome!
He is handsome, tall and burly, and so capable.
Some women from Hong Kong Chinese University stared at Zhang Junping with piercing eyes, their faces flushed.
What you think in your heart, outsiders don't know.
"Little friend is not only a superb carver, but also a very good carpenter.
It is only a matter of time before Xiaoyou can become a carpenter at a young age. " Lin Fengmian praised again.
If traditional carpenters have to be graded, they can be divided into: carpenter, carpenter, carpenter, master carpenter, master carpenter, and craftsman god.
These six levels are also admiration for the patriarch.
Except for Lu Ban, there is no second person who can reach the level of the craftsman god.
Even if it is a great master, there is only the Mohist.
Others, as recorded in history, are at best masters.
As for modern times, in the era when the craftsmen disappeared and the great masters did not appear, to be able to reach the level of a carpenter is already quite awesome.
