In famous comedy movies
In Mr. Bean's Catastrophe
There is such a classic plot
In the film, Mr. Bean, who is the security guard of the art museum
I ruined the famous painting because of a mistake
After Whistler's Mother
As a "remedy"
In the position of the erased avatar of the character
I scribbled a stick figure head
Never expected
A story similar to this hilarious plot
It was staged in real life not long ago—
Last year, the western Russian city of Yekaterinburg held an exhibition of abstract art, the theme of the exhibition is "the world of non-objectivity", the organizers borrowed many masterpieces from Russia and the world, so that the local people can feast their eyes.
One of them is called "Three Portraits"
By a well-known Russian painter
Anna Leposkaya
Created in the early 1930s
The painting was on display for 75 million rubles
Insurance (about RMB 6.38 million).
It turned out to be long like this
The three people in the original painting could not see the facial features
But one day,
People on both sides
But a pair of small eyeballs grew...
Before and after comparison
Ah this????
In fact, as early as last December, this "Three Portraits" was found to be problematic, and it was first noticed by the audience who visited the exhibition. However, after receiving the relevant report, the head of the center delayed for two weeks before calling the police, and did not get the attention of the police at the first time, because the suspect's alteration of the painting was not conspicuous, and did not cause obvious damage to the painting.
It was found in a follow-up investigation by the police and the Cultural and Educational Center
The real "behind the scenes"
With a large stroke of the pen, the person who added two pairs of eyes to the painting
It is the security guards who are responsible for watching the art exhibition
According to the latest report of the Daily Telegraph
The identity of the suspect has been confirmed
Is an employee of a private security company
He is 60 years old
He was sent here for work on his first day
It's a bit boring to be on top
So I picked up the ballpoint pen in my hand
Two clicks
The figure on the painting has grown small round eyes....
The security guards have now been fired
The police also investigated him for the crime of vandalism
If convicted
He will face 40,000 rubles
(about 3400 yuan) fine
and a 1-year penitentiary labor
At present, the painting has been returned to the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, where the museum is undergoing restoration of the work, with an estimated cost of 250,000 rubles (about 21,000 yuan). Restoration experts express optimism about restoring the painting: "The alteration is not serious, and it can be completely restored to its original appearance without causing permanent damage to the painting." ”
But
The attitude of netizens seems to be much more relaxed
Many people even feel
The security guard painted well:
"I think he improved the painting a lot
You can't just because the artist doesn't paint faces
Just raise the price high. ”
"The painting is now completely famous
The estimate is afraid to double by 10 times. ”
"It's much better now
This security guard is a genius. ”
Netizens have opened their minds
Showed off his "secondary creation" version:
"Goldfish eyes are the best"
Five senses come together!
"It's better this way!"
Of course, there are also people who criticize the security guards for being too frivolous:
"60 years old?
I thought it was done by a kid who had just graduated from high school
After all, the older you are, the more mature you should be
I don't think the painting looks good
But I will never tarnish other people's work. ”
