Chapter 513

Xu Yiren and Zhu Changqing also hurriedly came over and saw that it was really Master Xu Beihong's authentic "Picture of Horses".

However, Xu Yiren frowned again, sensing something was wrong.

"Isn't that right? Isn't "The Picture of Horses" now hidden in the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall in the capital? How could it appear here?"

At this time, an old friend of Shen Tianhong interjected: "Isn't it possible that someone stole the painting from the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall?"

Shen Tianhong also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he quickly used his connections to contact the staff of the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall in the capital.

The result was that the original "Picture of Horses" was kept well in the memorial hall and had not been stolen at all.

Someone else speculated: "Could it be that Master Xu Beihong painted two identical paintings? One was collected by the memorial hall, and the other was used by the contestants to fill the number?"

Xu Yiren had a very bold conjecture. She said: "If someone has superb painting skills and can paint like Master Xu Beihong, and can fake the real thing, is it possible?"

Zhu Changqing shook his head and said: "This possibility is very slim. Many people have copied the original "Horses" by Master Xu Beihong, including some high-level painters. However, they only have the form, but no spirit. .”

"It's difficult to draw a horse's bones. There are very few people in the country who can reach such a high level. His level is far above mine. Why would such a master come to participate in this event? This is simply a perfect level." The master has gone to the novice village to abuse the vegetables."

Shen Tianhong also agreed. He said: "Chang Qing is right. If this "Horse Picture" is really a copy, then this person's level is already at the top level in the country, and he is one of the best in the country. One of the most famous people in the world of Chinese painting."

"If he is such a big shot, how could he condescend to attend this event? It doesn't make sense."

Shen Tianhong was also troubled for a moment. He couldn't figure out who painted this unsigned painting.

After thinking again and again, Shen Tianhong came to two conclusions.

He said: "In my opinion, there are two possibilities."

Xu Yiren also became very interested in the owner of this painting. She couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Tianhong stroked his long beard gently and explained: "The first possibility is that this painting is an authentic work left by Master Xu Beihong during his lifetime. He painted a total of two identical "Horses", one signed The one is collected in the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall in Beijing, and the other one without signature is in a private collection, and this person took it to participate in an event I organized. It was a troubled time at the time, so the possibility of it not being signed is very high."

"The second possibility is that a top master came to Novice Village to have fun with his copy, so he deliberately didn't sign it."

"However, no matter what the possibility is, this person's status in the Chinese painting world or the collection world is extremely high. It seems that I must pay more attention to who he is and why he does this!"

Zhu Changqing and others felt that Shen Tianhong's opinions were very reasonable.

Now the second possibility is more likely. The other party is a high-ranking person, and the reason why he did not sign his name is just for fun.

However, Xu Yiren had a bold idea at this time.

She looked at Shen Tianhong and said, "Mr. Shen, could this person be Chu Yang?"

Xu Yiren has been paying attention to Chu Yang, including this time Mr. Shen's "painting appraisal" activity, and she also heard that Chu Yang participated.

But when she was selecting the paintings just now, she didn't see Chu Yang's name, so she had a very bold guess, was this painting by Chu Yang?
