Zhenzhitang press: Regarding Chinese calligraphy and painting, there is a saying among the people, "White stone shrimp insects are sad and horses, can dye buffalo yellow donkeys, bitter Zen eagles and big feathered chickens." The big feather chicken refers to the chicken painted by the painter Chen Dayu.
Without further ado, the previous picture. The big rooster above, do you think it is the real work of Mr. Chen Dayu? You don't need to answer for the time being, wait until you finish reading this article carefully, and then compare your answers with this article to see if your eyesight is there?
Zhenzhitang will first give you a brief introduction, Chen Dayu (1912-2001), a native of Guangdong, formerly known as Hanqing, studied under Qi Baishi, a master of flower and bird painting, and was one of Qi Baishi's protégés. Qi Baishi gave him the name Chen Ao, the word Dayu. In 1935, he graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts. The picture above shows Chen Dayu's 81-year-old work. That is, the work of 1991. The big rooster in the painting depicts a rooster ready to fight with a few brushstrokes. Seal Zhu Wen, Chen Dayu, is his own seal carving work.
Zhenzhitang: This one was painted by Xin Younian, and it was also a work from 1981. Almost exactly the same as above. Bai Wenyin couldn't see clearly, Zhu Wenyin Dayu. Although it is said to be a twin, it can basically be determined that they are all genuine. It mainly depends on the overall structure of the rooster and its fierce eyes, as well as the chicken feet. The chicken tail is made of one stroke, and the pen is old and spicy, these are the judging criteria. Both roosters have grasped the feature of fried hair on the rooster's neck, and they have both form and spirit.
Look at the third one, it's the same shape. It's just that the rooster has turned into black feathers. This chicken is an old rooster and was made in 1973, 8 years before the above two.
The rooster that Chen drew earlier, the fried hair on his neck is not obvious.
If you look closely, these chickens should all be genuine.
Then it means one thing, Chen Dayu's rooster has its own formula. The phenomenon of multiple births is extremely prominent. This places higher demands on collectors' connoisseurship.
Zhenzhitang: The above picture is searched on the headline platform, and the inscription indicates that it was painted in 1978. It's just that compared to the black rooster in front, there is no background pattern. Since the two of them are identical, there is reason to believe that this one is Mr. Owa's drawing.
The previous one is to add a few strokes of background to this sketch and then mention the "Spring Festival" on the paragraph, and this one is a simple social work that mentions the upper payment and gives it away.
Observe carefully, although they are all genuine, the one in front of Yingchun is undoubtedly the one that Chen Dayu himself is more satisfied with. You can carefully compare the details and observe the pen power.
Zhenzhitang: After reading the real thing, let's take a look at the imitation. The picture above is a painting sold online with a certain hole, and the price is 100 yuan. But it's still expensive. This chicken is definitely an imitation. The phenomenon of counterfeiting of calligraphy and painting has been around for a long time, especially during the Republic of China, and a large number of famous paintings from the Forbidden City have been imitated. So don't start with the paper because it's old.
Some fake paintings can be faked as real, and fake goods are marked with the price of the real thing.
Zhang Daqian also made fake paintings before he became famous in his early years, and the pictures of ladies imitating Tang Bohu were almost fake. But by now, Zhang Daqian's fakes are also worth a lot of money.
Why is the picture above definitely fake? Only by seeing the real can you recognize the fake, and you can conclude that the above picture is fake by looking at the real picture below.
Shinchido: The second phenomenon of fake paintings is that they add something to the real painting.
Qi Baishi's paintings are famous for the grass insects, and the price of the old man Baishi plus a "grass insect" was very high that year, and he clearly said: "Flowers and insects and birds, each plus 10 yuan, vine and bees, each plus 20 yuan." Those who reduce prices will benefit themselves at the expense of others, and they will not be happy to see it. On the 10th day of the first month of Gengshen", hung on the hall. Wu Changshuo formulated a runge for Qi Baishi, "4 feet 12 yuan, 5 feet 18 yuan, six feet 24 yuan, 8 feet 30 yuan." ”
The four-foot whole sheet is 138*68 centimeters, which is eight square feet, and 12 silver dollars are already a big painting. Adding another insect or bird costs 10 yuan, and the price is almost doubled, and most people will not be willing to give up this money.
There are few flowers in Shiraishi, but Shiraishi's insect apprentices draw very well. After the imitation, five or six grass insects were added to it. Friends who don't understand this history often pay a high price to buy a fake on the original handwriting.
Shinchido: Some of the "twins" and even "multiples" in the works are caused by the authors themselves.
According to his family, it is he who unveiled a painting into two, and the purpose is difficult to say.
Contemporary painters painting landscapes, especially figures, have a base draft. It's already patterned. Before becoming famous, in order to make a profit, it was extremely normal to sell seven or eight pictures at a time.
You can refer to the research article on He Jiaying's works written a few days ago.
The picture above is another rooster, and everyone should be able to judge whether it is true or false.
Shinchido: In the same way, this turning rooster is not a single genuine product.
The title in the picture above is the year of Jiawu, that is, 1994, and the following piece is also the year of Jiawu, we can see that the roosters of these two pieces are almost identical, which is the mother of Kong's fake painting.
A few years ago, when the calligraphy and painting market was hot, the fake Chen Dayu rooster was also "priced according to quality", the cheapest 3-foot one cost 500 yuan, and the expensive one cost 5,000 yuan. The antiques, calligraphy and painting booths of Qian Song Yawei's works in Jinling can be seen everywhere, where are so many authentic works?
But what if it's Chen Dayu's real handiwork? A casual search, his rooster is just a few templates, and the background can be added at will. In a sense, this kind of mass-produced painting is already a technical work and not a work of art.
Zhenzhitang: Calligraphy and painting are fake, and some are between genuine and fake.
If the painter's early sketch was not satisfied with the inscription, the family filled it with their own opinions and stamped it with the seal of the deceased painter. It turned into a million-dollar piece.
There is also a popular practice of asking contemporary living masters of painting and calligraphy to inscribe some questionable paintings and calligraphy, turning a painting that does not open the door into an authentic work to deceive collectors.
You must know that if this calligraphy and painting artwork is not open, it means that the market recognition is not high, and the probability of unsuccessful auction is very high.
There are also operators who directly publish fake paintings, and you can't believe it.
At present, the counterfeiting of artworks has become a regional phenomenon. Shanghai imitates Lu Yanshao, Guangzhou imitates Gao Jianfu and Gao Qifeng, Xi'an imitates Shilu, Hong Kong imitates Lin Fengmian and Chen Zhifo, Taiwan imitates Zhang Daqian, Huang Junbi, Nanjing imitates Jinling and so on. Contemporary painters with the most fake paintings, such as Liu Wenxi, are everywhere.
Finally, let's take a look at the rooster at the beginning of the article and compare the real thing in the article. Do you judge that it is genuine?
There is no end to learning, let's discuss it together.
