In recent years, people's demand for aesthetics has also increased, and the calligraphy and painting market has gradually become popular. How to find works of art with market potential is a problem that many collectors are confused and eager for.
To determine whether a calligrapher or a work is a potential stock, we should look at ten aspects:
01
The artistic level of the work itself
"The artistic level of the work itself is the main factor in measuring its value. This involves the three realms of calligraphy and painting: the realm of scenery, the realm of pen and ink, and the realm of humanity. The depiction of the nature of mountains and rivers in a work itself is the realm of scenery. You can see its technique, the beauty of the scenery, and the magic of the layout. If on the basis of the scenery, there is also a "pen and ink exquisite" pen and ink realm, it is even better.
Chinese landscape painting uses the brush to take its masculine beauty, and the ink to take its feminine beauty. The subtlety of pen and ink can produce qi rhyme, and the vivid rhyme is the high state of painting.
The humanistic realm of calligraphy and painting works can be reflected in the subject matter, the purpose of the painting, the interest of painting, and the inscription of poetry. Just like the inscription poem of Li Keyan's "Children's Fun", "Overhearing the crickets, it is easy to rise in the autumn wind", an inscription makes the entire painting situation come alive and permeates an idyllic simple and affectionate feeling.
The market price of some calligraphy and paintings may rise or fall due to temporary social environment or accidental events, such as the resignation of calligraphy and painting officials will lead to a direct drop in the price of their works. Therefore, collectors should keep a cool head and pay enough attention to the art itself.

The level of calligraphy
Zhang Tong, an artist of the older generation, once called for "keeping the bottom line of Chinese painting", and this bottom line is calligraphy. Calligraphy is expressed in Chinese painting, one is the pen used for calligraphy, and the other is the artistic beauty of inscription writing.
Chinese painting pays attention to calligraphy with a pen, and "painting with books" is what ancient painters have been practicing and pursuing. "Bone pen" refers to the pen used in calligraphy. Su Dongpo, Ni Zhan, Xu Wei, Huang Binhong, etc. are all masters of painting with books. Calligraphy is an art that needs to be practiced for many years, and the writer must be calm.
Nowadays, many painters do not pay attention to the practice of calligraphy, nor do they pay attention to pen and ink, resulting in the picture without the charm of pen and ink, and even dare not fall, and the pen is timid, such works or artists are not considered potential stocks. In the same work, the longer inscription is more valuable than the poor one.

Is there any academic support？
Words are not far away.
The academic level of a calligrapher and painter affects the depth and sustainability of his creations. Theory guides practice, which is also one of the reasons why the ancients had to read thousands of books.
Through reading, creation and communication, over time to form their own set of theoretical systems, or a unique perspective on art, which is of great significance to the growth of artists. This knowledge also includes literature, history, music, dance, traditional Chinese medicine, tai chi, etc., drawing nourishment from traditional culture, enriching and deepening the connotation of creation, and the work has style.

Comprehensive cultivation
It is often said that "the painting is like its person" and "the book is like its person". Painting is the manifestation of personality, and personality is the result of cultivation.
If a painter paints well and has high cultivation, then he must be a potential stock. To improve comprehensive cultivation, it is necessary to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.
In particular, the knowledge of classical Chinese literature should be integrated and integrated, and when emotions arise, they should cooperate with the imagery to appeal to the pen to form a unique appearance.

Influence and visibility
Famous and non-famous are an important boundary between the value of art and the value of investment. In a way, art investment is investing in the works of famous artists.
The famous artists here are also divided into big masters and small masters. Some works of calligraphers and painters with particularly large influence and popularity, although the income is relatively high, but the investment cost is also high.
For an ordinary painter, it is difficult to increase his popularity, and he needs the efforts of galleries, agents, auction companies, media, etc. to have some results. If the painter already has a certain popularity, then his market will heat up, and collectors will pay more attention.

Social status
Some leaders of calligraphy and painting associations or circles often become the focus of people's collection and are sought after at high prices. In fact, this kind of leadership is nothing more than two, one is to conquer everyone with their own artistic achievements and personality charm, and the other is to sit in a certain position in the form of administrative intervention or behind-the-scenes operation. The level of the latter is generally more ordinary, but the friendship is extensive, the speculation ability is also strong, and the market price is often higher than or seriously exceeds the value.
In the face of calligraphy and painting officials, some collectors admired their aura and bought indiscriminately, lacking rationality. Especially for collectors who hold long-term holdings, once these leaders are no longer leaders, their market bubbles will burst overnight.

age
Critics, when praising some older artists, often use the words "people are old in painting" and "people are old in books". This means that with the increase of life experience, calligraphers and painters will have a more unique understanding of calligraphy and painting and a grasp of the spirit of pen and ink. This is particularly evident in the freehand painting genre of Chinese painting.
Some works require more energy from the artist, so when the painter is rich and powerful, it is also a time to produce more fine works. For example, some brush strokes, oil paintings, large compositions of landscapes and so on.
Collect some works of young and middle-aged people, with great potential. At present, the calligraphy and paintings of some calligraphy and painting celebrities have been speculated to a certain price, and many people are no longer easy to take out and circulate after collecting.

Market preparation and performance
Once a work of art enters the market, it is a commodity that needs to function to help it smoothly translate into benefits. Some painters focus on creation and disdain mundane things, and no one knows about their works, so naturally there is no market.
Some painters often do some exhibitions, entrust galleries with various publicity, auctions are also frequently appeared, and as their popularity expands, the market is also expanding.
The performance of the market is also reflected in the stability of its price. If the market has been in a stable and rising state for a long time, it means that it is safe to invest.

The painter's wealth freedom
Most of the ancient dancers were scholars and literati, and they had a lot of wealth to ensure their abundant creative time. Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is said to have been painted for 4 years, and this idiot Daoist man, with the worship of the nature of the landscape and the respect for his friends, worked tirelessly and spared no effort to produce masterpieces that have flowed through the ages.
Ancient calligraphy and painting works are mostly "idle", in the leisure, play the suqin and read the golden scriptures, tao body and mind to nourish the haoqi. Ancient literati did not sell paintings easily. The Qing Dynasty painter Cha Shibiao only sold paintings for money when there was no rice at home, and scolded while selling: "Paintings sold in Qingshan, it seems to be evil money." ”
Today, some painters are running for their livelihoods, and they have to cater to the market and cater to some popular aesthetics. Huang Binhong said that the Yangzhou School of Painting and the End of the Hai School opened the "door of the rivers and lakes", contaminated with the habits of the rivers and lakes and made a business of selling paintings. When some people are creating, they often think about this painting, how much money can it sell, or how much money this painting can be exchanged for which dignitaries and dignitaries, this mentality will inevitably affect the creation, and the painting environment will also show a "vulgar" attitude.
Of course, this is not to say that people in poor circumstances will not necessarily produce good works.

The character and connections of the painter
People of high moral standing are happy to touch, and their calligraphy and painting works are still popular. The character is high, and the paintings have to be high. Treat people with grace and carry backwards, naturally everyone respects, just like Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Qi Gong, Shen Peng and other calligraphers and painters. In this way, the works of painters with high ancient feelings and the spirit of bathing snow will naturally be welcomed.
Connections are like blood. Blood is the foundation of people's survival, and network is the guarantee of career success. The more widely the painter's communication, the better the popularity, and the more people support him, both financially and in terms of manpower. When connections, character and good works are combined, the market is naturally a natural success.
