Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 386 Two Canvases

There are four oil paintings hanging on the shelf on the side of the booth, all of which are realistic landscape paintings, which look very beautiful.

The size of the four paintings is not 80*100 each, and the largest is almost 180*200. Only these four oil paintings can hang a whole wall.

This should have been transported in a caravan. Ordinary cars are really useless. The semi-new blue and white caravan behind the booth should belong to this stall owner.

After getting the stall owner's permission, Ye Tian immediately took two steps forward, reached out and took down the oil painting with the smallest size, and began to appreciate it with his hands on it.

But this painting is not Ye Tian's goal, it's just an excess!

The painting he was looking at was still hanging on the shelf, a little further in, and it was even bigger! About 120*150, it is a large oil painting.

These four oil paintings are all by a painter, a native American painter from Ohio in the 1950s, who is also considered a little famous.

The reason why Ye Tian can recognize it at a glance is because these paintings have the artist's signature and creation date in the lower right corner, which are very clear and beyond doubt!

In his eyes, the white light emanating from these four oil paintings also clearly shows the age of their creation, from the late 1940s to the late 1950s.

In addition to the dazzling white light, the four oil paintings all have five to six layers of charming halos, some with five layers and some with six layers, which shows that they all have a certain artistic value.

Their market value is also very clear. Depending on the scale and the year of creation, the market value of the four oil paintings ranges from US$15,000 to US$30,000.

This is very much in line with the historical status of the painter, and his paintings are basically at this price, which has been proved by the auction records over the years.

However, there were no problems with the other three oil paintings, but the oil painting that Ye Tian took a fancy to showed a very strange scene.

The white light emitted by that oil painting seems to have two layers, as if two light sources overlapped together, the light intensity is different, the light emitted by the inner light source is a little brighter than the outer light source.

From this point, it can be judged that the age of the inner light source is a little earlier, about three or four years earlier.

What's even weirder is that the halos outside the painting also overlapped!

Under the six halos of the original painting, there is actually a large halo,

Up to ten layers, very charming and dazzling, enough to make people dizzy and even crazy!

It was these ten layers of charming halo that firmly caught Ye Tian's gaze, making him so excited that he was ready to take down the oil painting.

There is no doubt that the oil painting hides a great secret.

Under the surface of the picture, there is a top-level artwork hidden. According to the area where the halo spreads out, it is very likely that what is hidden inside is also an oil painting! The size is as good as it looks!

This technique of using one oil painting to conceal another painting is not uncommon, and can even be seen often, but it is not known who made the hidden painting.

Ye Tian has no way of knowing the answer for the time being, but he is very sure of one thing.

The hidden painting must have come from the hands of the most famous modern artist, worth more than tens of millions of dollars, this judgment is enough!

This oil painting must belong to my buddies, no one can take it away!

He didn't see through the hanging oil painting for the first time to discover the secret, but pretended to appreciate the painting in his hand seriously, and communicated with the stall owner at the same time.

"Sir, I would like to ask, why do you have four oil paintings of Jack Blair? And they are such large-scale works. They should all be scenic spots in Ohio, right?"

Ye Tian asked curiously, it is really rare for such four large oil paintings to appear in the same place, it is unavoidable to be surprised.

He also wanted to find out the exact origin of these oil paintings, so that he could avoid a lot of troubles. After all, it was related to a top-level artwork, so he couldn't be too careful! Take precautions!

The stall owner did not hide anything, and began to explain the origin of these four oil paintings with a smile.

"Steven, it seems that you also know Jack Blair, so you must also know the price of his works. You read that right, these four oil paintings all depict the scenery of Ohio.

They are "Early Morning on Lake Erie", "Autumn Views of Mount Campbell", "Mother River Ohio", and "The Winding Maumee River", all of which are scenic spots in Ohio.

As for the origin of these four oil paintings, you can rest assured that they all came from legal channels, there is no problem, I am from Ohio, and I collected them all in Cincinnati! "

"Why didn't you send it to auction? Instead, you brought it to Birmingham. Jack Blair's works shouldn't be hard to sell? Especially in Ohio"

"The auction house's commission rate is too high, and Jack Blair's paintings can't fetch a high price, so I didn't send them to the auction. I don't want to work for those vampires in the auction house.

It wasn't long before I collected these four paintings. This time I came to Corridor 127, I brought them here to see if they can be sold here. If they can be sold, it would be great!

It's a pity that there are not many people who like these oil paintings. In addition to their prices, they have been kept until now. Are you interested in these oil paintings? Did you see that one? can talk"

"That's right, the auction house's commission ratio is indeed too high, especially for these value-added spaces, it's not worthwhile to send it to the auction house, and you will lose once if you buy it!

The regional color of these paintings is too strong, and it is estimated that no one likes them outside of Ohio. If you choose to sell them in Birmingham, Alabama, it is normal that no one cares about them.

I'm really interested in these paintings, but let's forget about this "Autumn View of Campbell Mountain", which is almost meaningless in terms of momentum. Let me take a look at the "Early Morning on Lake Erie", it looks very beautiful! "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian put "Autumn Scenery of Mount Campbell" on the shelf again, and walked over to appreciate his real goal, "Early Morning on Lake Erie".

The stall owner responded and went back to greet others.

He knew the four paintings very well, and he knew the value better, and thought that there was nothing to miss, and Steven didn't want to take advantage of him.

And he also understands that this guy, Steven, is definitely an expert, and he also knows the value of these oil paintings very well, so don't even think about asking the price, it's impossible!

If this guy takes a fancy to that oil painting and plans to buy it, it is just a very ordinary art transaction, and the price must strictly follow the market price, with very little room for fluctuation!

So there's no need to pay attention to this guy. Even if he doesn't buy it, it's not difficult to bring these oil paintings back to Ohio. It's just a matter of time, so don't worry!

However, how did this stall owner know that "Early Morning on Lake Erie" actually hides a big secret, which is a fortune that he may not be able to earn in his entire life! I am about to pass by it!

But Ye Tian's determination to win this painting "Early Morning on Lake Erie" is extremely firm at this time, and he is bound to win!

The first time he stood in front of the painting, Ye Tian immediately turned on the perspective, his eyes penetrated the quiet water of Lake Erie on the painting, looked behind the canvas, and discovered the secret hidden behind the canvas.

As far as the line of sight is concerned, it is unobstructed.

This oil painting was completely seen in an instant. Oil paint, canvas, frame, backboard, etc., all the details of the painting were clearly presented to the eyes, and all the secrets could not be hidden!

Even the booth on the back of the oil painting, and the beauties standing in front of the booth to choose goods, were completely seen through by Ye Tian, ​​and an unusually glamorous picture appeared in his eyes.

Sure enough, there is another painting hidden behind the canvas, which is as big as "Morning on Lake Erie", and it is also a large oil painting!

The two canvases are superimposed together, they fit perfectly, and the hiding is perfect!

No one can discover this hidden painting without tearing off the surface canvas, or removing the nailed back panel!

But what surprised Ye Tian was that the hidden painting was not an oil painting. Although it also used oil painting canvas, its creation technique was completely different, and it was a unique painting method.

The picture of this painting is extremely chaotic, like a mess of hemp. At first glance, it is impossible to tell what is painted. The eyes are full of complicated and confusing lines, which makes people dizzy!

After a moment of surprise, Ye Tian quickly woke up.

Immediately afterwards, a look of excitement and ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

He has recognized this painting technique and this artistic style, and he has a better understanding of who the painter who created this work is and the market value of this painting.

Drip painting! Abstract expressionist painting, created in the 1950s, with ten layers of charming halo, extraordinary artistic value and market value!

The answer is ready to come out, it is definitely a crazy answer!

This is the work of Jackson Pollock, the master of abstract expressionism painting, the first hero of American modern painting to break away from European standards and establish a leading position in the international art world!

And it is the work of the most peak period, there is no doubt!
