Treasure Hunt all over the World

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 oil painting is small in size, about fifty centimeters wide and forty centimeters high.

This is still a typical Latin American style painting, with a very obvious color of magic realism and a bit of Indian culture.

The subject of the picture is a black girl sitting cross-legged on the ground, naked and dark-skinned, with her hands hanging in front of her body, covering her private parts, with a helpless and painful expression, her eyes staring forward, full of sadness and confusion.

The background behind the girl is basically black, and there is a burning flame.

The sad expression, black skin, black background, and distorted and exaggerated outlines and lines make this painting look very gloomy and gloomy, giving people a strong sense of depression!

Through the image of the girl shown on the screen, people can clearly feel the painter's pity and sympathy for the people at the bottom and black people, as well as his accusation and dissatisfaction with reality!

Without a doubt, this is a masterpiece of Latin American art! It must be from the hands of a master!

It's a pity that there is no signature on the painting, nor any other written information, it's clean! No way of knowing who made it!

Although this is a painting by a famous artist with extraordinary skills, no one cares about it here!

Its images are too dark and depressing to be liked by people; and not many Americans know about Latin American art, especially in these relatively isolated states in the south-central region!

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, basically no one pays attention!

In the eyes of many people here, this painting is probably worthless,

Not at all! It is a kind of luck to be able to preserve it intact until now!

But in Ye Tian's eyes, this is a top-level artwork that radiates white light and has more than a dozen layers of charming halos. It has extraordinary artistic value, and its market value is also quite high!

According to the intensity of the white light, Ye Tian was very sure that this was a top-level artwork created in the mid-1950s.

More than a dozen layers of charming halos, extraordinary painting skills, proficient magic realism expression techniques, and picture content that looks like praying or crying, etc.

Combining these characteristics, Ye Tian understood in an instant that this oil painting was the masterpiece of the artist!

This is the painting of Guayasamin, a Latin American national treasure painter, a top Latin American art work, 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 an Ecuadorian painting master, but also enjoys a high reputation in the world painting circle. He is known as "Picasso of the Western Hemisphere, Marquez with a paintbrush".

From the surname Guayasamin, we can see his Indian origin.

He was born in Quito, Ecuador, from a poor Indo-European family.

Quito was the place where he learned and grew up. It was here that he became the most famous painter in Latin America, a leftist cultural master, the pride of Ecuador, and the pride of Latin America as a whole!

In his rich creative career, he has created more than 5,000 works, and he is a prolific painter!

His works not only embody the essence of Ecuador's multiculturalism, but also speak out against injustice, inequality, social exclusion, class exploitation and other phenomena.

He is full of sympathy and concern for the working people of the lower classes, and turns his strong emotions into the source of his creations, and through his unique artistic expression, he indicts real life.

Guayasamin has always been committed to defending human rights and exposing the atrocities committed by one group against another through war, bombing, dictatorship, repression, imprisonment, murder, etc.

The themes of these works have deeply shocked and influenced audiences all over the world, and also won him a high reputation worldwide!

"I paint to hurt, to sting and awaken, to show what one group does against another"

Guayasamin said that this is the truest portrayal of his lifelong mission of delivering peace to mankind.

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 this oil painting, apart from its extraordinary artistic value, Ye Tian also saw a considerable market value.

Guayasamín'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 frantically chasing, and auction records of more than ten million dollars abound!

This oil painting was created in the 1950s, and the 1950s was the peak period of Guayasamin's artistic career, and he created many famous works!

There is no doubt that the oil painting in front of me must be a representative work of Guayasamin, and it must be of extraordinary value!

Start with tens of millions of dollars! Ye Tian is very confident in this estimate.

While admiring the oil painting in secret, Ye Tian made some perspective as usual.

Everywhere you look, you can see everything at a glance!

The paint, canvas, frame, every brushstroke, and even the whole process of creation have been shoveled several times, and all the details of this oil painting are extremely clearly presented in Ye Tian's eyes.

It's not that the painting doesn't have the author's signature, it's just that it's hard to see with the naked eye!

Under the perspective, Ye Tian saw the two letters '' at a glance. The font is very small, hidden in the flames, and the color of the font is similar to the flames. It is difficult to detect without careful observation.

'' is the abbreviation of Guayasamin's name, which often appears in his works. Ye Tian saw it in New York moma!

In addition to the initials, there is also the year of creation, 1956, which is also hidden in the flames, very concealed!

Seeing this, Ye Tian was even more delighted!

Undoubtedly, this is the most powerful evidence for authenticating oil paintings. There is no doubt that their discovery will greatly increase the market value of this oil painting!

Regarding this oil painting, Ye Tian has mastered all the circumstances.

All you have to do now is to find ways to get it in your pocket and make a lot of money!

During this process, you must behave as if nothing had happened, and you must not arouse the vigilance of the stall owner.

The operation went very smoothly, Ye Tian has already approached the goal step by step, without showing any abnormalities! The stall owner didn't notice either!

...

"This oil painting was collected in Mississippi. I don't know which artist's work it was. At that time, I thought it was okay, so I collected it and wanted to bring it to corridor 127 for sale.

But who would have thought that since coming here, almost no one cares about this painting, even those black buddies are dismissive, and it is about to be smashed in their hands! "

The stall owner said with a wry smile and shook his head, while looking back at the oil painting.

His tone was very helpless, and he was very annoyed by his wrong judgment!

At this moment, his thoughts were all on the two pieces of jade, and he kept weighing the price, wondering if he wanted to sell the pair of jades at a price of 40,000 US dollars!

This is the best time Ye Tian has been waiting for! Where can I miss it!

Taking advantage of the stall owner's hesitation and worrying about gains and losses, Ye Tian very naturally brought the topic to oil painting, and successfully led the stall owner into the ditch!

"It's normal that no one cares about it! This oil painting is in a Latin American style, and people may not like it; it also depicts a black naked girl. Don't forget, this is Georgia!

Moreover, the tone and theme of this painting are too dark and depressing to hang at home at all, so even black brothers will not be interested in this painting! "

Ye Tian explained a few words, and the analysis was clear and logical, and there were still no flaws.

"Steven, do you know which artist's work this is? If so, I'd love to know more about it; it would be great if you could buy this oil painting!"

The stall owner looked at Ye Tian and said, his eyes lit up.

He was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and wanted to dispose of this oil painting as soon as possible, so as to save it and bring it back to Colorado!

"I'm very sorry, buddy, I don't know which artist's work this is, I can only recognize the Latin American style, body oil paintings with black girls as models are relatively rare, so I'm curious.

If the price is cheap, I would like to buy this oil painting and study it when I go back. To be honest, I am still more interested in Latin American art. Since I came across it, of course I can't miss it.

If the price is too expensive, forget it, buddy's money is not blown by the wind! No need to waste a lot of dollars on an unknown artist's work, it's not worth it!

Okay, let's talk about this later, let's continue to talk about the transaction of two pieces of jade, this is the treasure I want, 40,000 US dollars, have you considered it? Ready to close anytime! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, and turned the topic to the mandarin duck handle.

I can't talk about oil painting anymore, lest the stall owner get suspicious and talk too much! Ye Tian understands this truth!

Seeing Ye Tian change the subject, the stall owner's initial suspicion immediately disappeared, and his focus returned to the two jade pieces and the upcoming dollar.

At this point, he already understood that $5 million was useless! It's all moisture!

It is impossible to expect this pair of small jade articles to make a fortune! Tactics must be changed!

"Steven, I know five million is ridiculous, but is $40,000 too low? $100,000! It's a reasonable price!"

The stall owner thought for a while and gave a new price.

"Dude, the price is still too high. Just now you also saw the information on the Internet. There are very few jade articles similar to these two that exceed 100,000 US dollars!

The price can be raised a bit, 45,000 US dollars, this is my final price, you think about it, if you are not satisfied, then you can only say sorry"

$5,000 more than just now! not bad!

The stall owner was very satisfied with the price, and wished he could nod his head immediately, but who would bite his hand because of too much money? He still habitually returned a price!

"$80,000! Steven, you only need to pay $80,000 to own these two exquisite jade articles. For you, this amount of money is not worth mentioning at all! It's so easy!"

"Dude, as I said just now, no one's money comes from the wind, I will not pay 80,000 US dollars for these two jade articles, you get what you pay for, you and I understand this truth!

$45,000 is the final price, no change! But I can add another $5,000, but count the Latin American-style oil painting in it, and count it as the price of the oil painting.

A total of 50,000 US dollars, if you can, the deal will be done, cash or check, bank transfer is fine, if not, let’s go to the booth at the back and wait for other buyers! "

Ye Tian reported the final price with a decisive and firm tone!

He was very sure in his heart that this deal would definitely be won, and the stall owner would never give up the $50,000 in front of him and wait for the next buyer who might not appear!

If something happens and the deal collapses, that's okay, and Bowie who will follow up later, let him take these antique works of art!

Bowie has already arrived at this courtyard market, and is scanning the stalls not far behind! Once you receive the message, you can act immediately to ensure that nothing goes wrong!

By then, the two handle pieces may be out of the question, but Guayasamín's oil painting is definitely not! Must belong to buddies! No one can take it away!

The stall owner pretended to be pondering, but his heart was already full of joy!

$50,000! It can be considered a small profit! This is the biggest order of this year's 127 corridor tour, absolutely not to be missed!

Corridor 127 will end in a few days, and there will be no store after passing this village!

"Okay! Dude, you think about it first, come to me after 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 booths in the back!"

Ye Tian cast another curse, forcing the stall owner to make a quick decision, minimizing his time for thinking and seeking evidence!

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the predator, his steps were very resolute!

$50,000! Don't miss it! Who knows if this guy 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, so he still had time to think about other things, and immediately said loudly:

"Steven, please stay tuned, it's a deal for $50,000! The two pieces of jade and the Latin American oil painting, after the payment is complete, they will belong to you!"

Take it! Dude made another big buck! So cool!

Ye Tian squeezed his fist secretly, and almost cheered excitedly.

But his expression was very normal, he just smiled softly, still flawless!

After quickly suppressing his excitement, he turned around, smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Okay! $50,000 deal, cash or check?"

"Deal! Cash it, the feeling of counting money is the most exciting!"

The stall owner said excitedly, shaking hands very hard and smiling brilliantly.

"Hahaha, I like the green Franklin too!"

Ye Tian laughed out loud, and there was joy in his laughter.

The deal is concluded, and another treasure is acquired!
