The old lady Tang Huiqin has always been a pragmatic person. Although she has integrated Chinese and Western painting schools, she only loves realistic oil painting. Representative figures of realism are Courbet, Rousseau, Corot, Millet, Daumier, etc. Their artistic practice and masterpieces have supported the cultural starry sky of realism.
Tang Huiqin's favorite painting is the large-scale realist oil painting "The Funeral of Ornan" created by Courbet in 1855. This oil painting shows the gravediggers, relatives and friends of the deceased, peacekeepers, judges, and notaries. People, priests, mayors, etc., fascinatingly reveals the psychology of each character, and ruthlessly depicts treachery, greed and hypocrisy. Courbet clearly showed the banner of realism that competes with the "ideal beauty" of neoclassicism and the "exaggerated beauty" of romanticism.
For Tang Huiqin, who has experienced more than half a century, she has experienced all the joys and sorrows in life, from war to turmoil to peace. The ups and downs of country, nation and family have become beautiful waves in her life.
Courbet's realist paintings were also Tang Huiqin's main topic when she was doing research on Western oil paintings at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Liu Yizhi, who was still a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts at the time, was her right-hand man. Courbet, who dared to use his own painting exhibition to issue a statement to explain his artistic opinions, challenged the outdated themes and rules advocated by conservatives. The talented French painter conducted in-depth research.
It is precisely because of this experience in college and under the influence of Tang Huiqin that Liu Yizhi graduated from college. I had the great idea of traveling around the world, especially European countries, to travel and paint.
Now, Liu Yizhi has returned with great honor and has already occupied a place in the history of world oil painting. He became one of the most outstanding realistic oil painting masters in China in history.
"In yesterday's chat, Yizhi has endured a lot of hardships over the years to achieve such great achievements. I remember the last time he came to see me was five years ago. At that time, he was already somewhat famous. Further studies in an art museum in Austria. Hard work will pay off. It’s not easy for this kid, Yi Zhi! Yi Zhi Yi Zhi, just like his name, he has only one ambition... Now that he has done it, I am also happy for him. !”
Speaking of his favorite disciple Liu Yizhi. Tang Huiqin had a happy smile on her face. The old man has lived a lifetime. Everything else is taken lightly. I just want that my juniors can realize their ideals and each of them can find their own path in life.
"Mom, look at the current domestic painting scene. Your disciples account for more than half. You are such a beautiful person. When we return to the capital soon, we will probably have an endless stream of people coming to visit."
Fang Liping said with a smile. In fact, his mother also suffered the same fate. His father unfortunately passed away during the turbulent years, leaving his mother to raise him alone. However, he had no interest in painting and chose to go into politics. Fortunately, his daughter Yanran I like painting, but this time I don’t have the hope of going to the Central Academy of Fine Arts like Tang Huiqin did.
"I have many disciples, and they are very competitive. Originally, Yanran's talent was very good, but it's a pity..." Grandma Tang Huiqin also knew that her granddaughter Qin Yanran applied for Qingbei University. Although she felt regretful, she would not do it. To interfere with the children's own choices, their lives should be left to their own devices.
"Mom! Although Yanran won't go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, won't she have a master in the art world like you to personally guide her? In the future, our Yanran may also become a great painter who will be famous throughout the ages."
Fang Liping smiled and comforted her mother, while helping her mother to start working in the kitchen. The mother and daughter were preparing lunch.
"Yanran's talent is pretty good. Over the years, I have learned almost all Western and Chinese paintings. But I always felt that there was something missing. Then I saw Yi Zhi yesterday, and I knew it. Yanran's painting skills are no longer good. I’m so picky, what I lack is just life experience and the depth of artistic conception in my paintings.”
The old man liked to chatter a lot when he talked. While he was busy, he talked to his daughter Fang Liping, "If a painting wants to have a soul, it must have a conception and the ideological place it strives to strive for." It has been a long time since I saw the unique expressive tension in the work and the kind of shocking work. The piece "The Train is Coming" that won the award this time has rarely touched me in these years. No wonder it won the European Vienna Gold Award…”
On the other side, after Su Lin hung up the call from Qin Yanran, he made a call to Li Hao's home.
"Haozi, how are you? Fill out your application today. Which school do you want to apply for? Come to the capital too! Anyway, there are many universities in the capital, and they are all on Xueyuan Road, so we can meet often."
Su Lin said with a smile, "Originally, I was thinking of going to your house to fill in the application form today, but Yanran made an appointment with me, so I won't go to your place. Now let's talk on the phone first, which school do you want to apply for?"
"The squad leader asked you on an appointment again? Hehe... Su Lin, you are such a shameless guy." Li Hao also smiled lewdly, and seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "This time I passed 660 Six points, our whole family was shocked. Now, even my uncle, who usually doesn't like me much, has come to give me advice on how to apply for the application. You didn't even see Li Yan's face, it was all green like something, he was beaten by his father My mother scolded me for a long time, so I guess he may have to repeat his studies for a year. Otherwise, his score will only be enough for a relatively poor university."
This time, he scored a high score of over 600 in the college entrance examination. Li Hao was able to stand out in his family. Those relatives and friends who had always said that he was not up to par all came to congratulate him at home. On the contrary, Li Yan, who was always very arrogant at home, fell far behind in the exam this time and performed abnormally. Although he passed the first-tier exam, he only exceeded a few points. Basically, if he really wanted to go to university, he would not be able to apply for it. You can only apply to those less famous first-class universities.
Li Hao's score was already relatively high. Apart from Qingbei and Yanjing universities, he basically had his choice among other universities.
"Haha! You have been suppressed by Li Yan for so many years. He always thinks that he is nothing special and looks down on you. Now that you have failed in the college entrance examination, you must be extremely annoyed. Haozi, are you happy now? Sent it? Haha... Then have you decided which school to apply for?"
Su Lin was also happy for Li Hao. That Li Yan was as annoying as his cousin Su Wen. He always thought that because he had good academic performance, he could do mischief at home and did not take other brothers and sisters into consideration. Such self-righteousness The sense of superiority is really annoying.
"My dad and uncle asked me to apply for Renmin University, and I think it's pretty much the same. They are all key universities anyway, and they're in the capital. Lin Zi, you must have applied for Qingbei University? Then we can pick up girls together when we get to the capital. … Ha ha… "
In fact, Li Hao had no idea about those universities, except that the top two universities were Qingbei University and Yanjing University. Other Renmin University, University of Finance and Economics, Forestry University, University of Technology, Normal University, etc. all feel similar.
However, what Li Hao is most concerned about is Huaxia Women's University, which is said to also recruit male students. However, it only recruits boys majoring in broadcasting and hosting, and there are only ten or twenty boys every year. Think about it, in Huaxia Women's University, there are thousands of high-quality beauties from all over the country, but there are only ten or twenty boys. Li Hao felt excited just thinking about it, but it was a pity that his voice was not good. Otherwise, he would definitely try the broadcasting and hosting major at Huaxia Women's University.
"Renmin University? That's right next to Qingbei University, haha... OK! Haozi, then we two brothers will travel across the capital together and pick countless flowers..." Su Lin hadn't been bragging like this to a mouse for a long time, and he laughed straight into the phone, " But! You’d better find a way to reduce your big belly first! Otherwise, pretty girls will be scared away by your big belly.”
"You will make fun of me, hehe... Lin Zi, I still count on you to protect me when I get to the capital. But my dad said that this time I can be admitted to Renmin University, and he will reward me with 50,000 yuan! Let me After you get to college, you can use it to pick up girls. Fatty has a lot of money, so he doesn’t believe that he can’t pick up girls... "
Obviously, Li Hao, like Su Lin, has begun to look forward to a wonderful college life.
"Haha! Then I wish you success, Haozi. When the time comes, I will hug you from left to right, tsk tsk... It's terrible... I'll hang up now... I'll go play with you another day..."
After hanging up the phone, Su Lin was in a good mood. Her parents went to work, Lingling was already attending the summer cram school at Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, and she was alone at home, so she happened to go to Qin Yanran's house.
"What should I wear?"
Before going out, Su Lin also carefully selected his clothes. However, he changed between T-shirts and jeans. Finally, he chose a white T-shirt and jeans, scratched his hair and went out.
At Qin Yanran's house, while Fang Liping and her mother Tang Huiqin were still busy in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Qin Yanran, who was well dressed in the house, ran to the door excitedly and opened the door. She thought it was Su Lin who was here, but when she opened the door, she found that it was not Su Lin.
"Uncle Liu, are you here?"
At the door were Liu Yizhi and his good friend, the painter Yuan Hai. Qin Yanran accompanied her grandma Tang Huiqin to meet Liu Yizhi last time, so she knew this master of oil painting. (To be continued...)
