In the current circle of calligraphy and painting, there are two major views on calligraphy and painting works: 1. Calligraphers and painters must have famous calligraphy and painting works to be valuable. 2. The value of calligraphy and painting works lies in the calligraphy and painting works themselves.
If a good work can be worth a lot, then who pays for a good work, who judges it? Van Gogh died of poverty because of what, why did Qi Baishi exchange cabbage with people when he was not famous? The Central Academy of Fine Arts has graduated many students every year, and many of their works can surpass teachers, is their work the most valuable?
If being famous is worth money, don't you have to distinguish between the merits and inferiorities of the work?
Therefore, it is emphasized that the author himself and the calligraphy and painting works themselves are biased, and the correct evaluation of a work is whether the artistic value of the calligraphy and painting works plus the influence of the author himself has the value of historical documents.
In recent years, the circle of calligraphy and painting has been guided by the professional circle, and most people believe that the works of the professional calligraphy and painting circle will be higher, leading the majority of collectors, so that the works of the calligraphers and painters in the professional calligraphy and painting circle are too high, which is much higher than the actual value of the works, so that the price of calligraphy and painting works has not risen but has fallen over the years. The professional calligraphy and painting team is too large, they are many people, they shout together for their own interests, only professional calligraphy and painting works have value, those celebrities write calligraphy and paintings are worthless, but the real situation is that only celebrity calligraphy and painting have historical documentary value, decades and hundreds of years will not be submerged, this phenomenon is reversing, celebrities and calligraphy and painting circles of the spire of part of the works are of collectible value. Otherwise, how can Chairman Mao be rated as one of the top ten calligraphers of the twentieth century, and this is what the China Book Association commented, Mr. Qi Gong and Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi were all known as famous scholars, educators, and then calligraphers, even the great painter Qi Baishi said that his poetry was the best, many great painters and professional calligraphers and painters did not want others to say that he was a professional painter, for example, Mr. Fan Zeng and Zhao Zhongxiang introduced him when they introduced him, saying that Fan Zeng was not only a painter, but a historian and a scholar of traditional Chinese. Painter Shi Guoliang is also working as a TV host across borders. If you are just a calligrapher and painter and do not have a deep cultural background, then your work will be too single in value and will not be extra points.
Painter Wu Huan is a generalist, novels, poetry, opera, calligraphy, painting with landscape figures flowers, birds, brushes and insects oil painting all-round, he himself is the inheritor of the 900-year family, well-known at home and abroad, his calligraphy and painting works plus points will be multifaceted, mother Xin Fengxia, father Wu Zuguang, uncle Wu Zuqiang, cousin Wu Guanzhong are all well-known figures, his grandfather also helped Mao Zedong, saved Li Dazhao's daughter, or the founder of the Palace Museum in Beijing, His great-grandfather was still the impetus of the Xinhai Revolution, and so on.
After the death of Mr. Wang Guozhen, the appreciation rate of his calligraphy works was relatively large, from the original few thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands of pieces, and Zhao Zhongxiang's works also increased relatively largely.
Don't look at those articles on the Internet to say how much the calligraphy and painting works of so-and-so celebrities have fallen, celebrities come out to write and touch the interests of the entire calligraphy and painting circle, they will rise up in groups to attack them, to belittle the works of celebrities, of which celebrity calligraphy and painting works have more historical literature collection value, and most of the works of calligraphers and painters have only one value, that is, the value of calligraphy and painting works themselves.
Now let's take a look at the calligraphy of deceased celebrities like Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, etc. Is the price of calligraphy very high? I'm afraid I can't buy it for much money.
Did Confucius write calligraphy? Writing calligraphy, but the only calligraphy left at the Weihui Bigan Temple in Henan, he personally wrote down the four words "Yin Bi Gan Mo", why did Confucius write the tomb character as Mo? Confucius's original intention was to take the earth as soil, so he did not write soil, and one Xiucai thought that Confucius had written wrongly, so he added a soil character under the Mo character, and the result was split by a thunder and lightning. Later, after Qianlong identified it as the true handiwork of Confucius, he wrote four words on it, and since then Confucius's ink treasure has been undisputed.
