Van Gogh's last work "The Wheat Field and the Crow"-It was dark, and the end of the road was flooded by a vast wheat field. I don't know where it leads, but Western jackdaw in the west is the only companion on the lonely journey.
His tragedy stems from people's understanding of art at that time, thinking that painting is realistic and should show more details. It's like asking for a 40-megapixel camera to take a good night view and a crater on the moon (it feels like advertising).
At that time, the famous painting "The Bar in Goddess Playground"-MANET.
Van Gogh, on the other hand, felt that the more details, the more beautiful the work. Therefore, he has a crazy preference for color and expresses his feelings with bright, pure and bright lines. No, his paintings have no lines, only colors, and the canvas is full of colors, without points, lines, surfaces and any details. Just like beauty, you need to grind your skin, remove all the details (acne), thin your face (picture distortion), and then adjust the brightness, color and contrast to the maximum. In the eyes of people at that time, they were spicy eyes, which was too fake.
But van Gogh said, that's what I think in my heart.
Van Gogh's painting "The Portrait of Dr. Gassie" fetched $82.5 million at 1990 (his highest bid).
So its works were not recognized until his death.
So who pushed his paintings to the world?
Van Gogh was born into a famous family of art merchants. In fact, he could have been well fed and clothed. But because of his bad temper, everyone in the family doesn't like him except his brother Theo.
But even though his brother worked hard, he only sold one painting, The Red Vineyard, before Van Gogh died. It can be seen that the style of this painting is quite normal. But the reason why it can't be sold is not because the painting is not good-looking, but because the price is too high! And refused to reduce the price. You said I would buy it for fifty cents.
Red Vineyard-400 francs, I don't know how much it was worth at that time, but it must be more than 400 RMB.
Joanna lost her husband when she was young, and he left her hundreds of Van Gogh paintings except a one-year-old child. What shall we do? She is a natural master of hype. In the past ten years, she has held seven Van Gogh art exhibitions, and those paintings are only for exhibition, not for sale! Unless the price is high. And during this time, he has been sorting out and publishing all kinds of materials about Van Gogh, just as he has been touting Bitcoin recently, which is a great book about the value of Van Gogh's works. Finally, the seventh art exhibition aroused social repercussions and opened the door of the art museum-sending the works to the art museum is equivalent to getting official recognition, just like getting inspection-free certification. After such speculation, Van Gogh's works reached 300,000 francs around 19 15, which has appreciated by 1500 times in 25 years!
Seeing the artistic (economic) value of Van Gogh's works, 1973, the Dutch government bought nearly a thousand Van Gogh's works from the Van Gogh family at an ultra-low price of $6 million.
And this kind of good thing (taking advantage) is generally indispensable for Japanese people. 1987, the Japanese bought Van Gogh's famous painting Sunflower for $39.5 million.
However, it was later identified that the paintings taken by the Japanese were fake, which was probably called stealing chickens and not eating rice. what do you think?
