National Treasure Artist

Chapter 225 Make trouble! (seeking subscription)

Another half month has passed in Barcelona, ​​and the construction of the China Pavilion has been going on for more than a week.

Bai Gongtong wore a white hard hat on his head, and he didn't dislike just sitting casually on a rock beside the construction site.

He frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

During this period of time, Gongtong finally gradually realized the influence of various classical schools in Barcelona, ​​which is far more deeply rooted in the hearts of every Barcelona resident than it was in Paris.

Although Paris has a long history and is deeply influenced by classical schools, it is also an international city and the capital of a country.

In Paris, the vision of the citizens is very broad, and their minds are relatively more receptive to new things.

Barcelona is completely different. The residents here are extremely proud, not to mention the American and Eastern modernists, they even have more or less contempt when they face places outside Catalonia.

Barcelona in this world also claims to be a palace of artists, and the palace-level masters Picasso and Miro have left many posthumous works here.

Native townspeople are influenced by it, and they are extremely sought after by masters of various classical schools.

UK, France, Germany, Italy
During the construction of the national pavilions of the birthplace of classical genres, there were often Barcelona residents watching, waiting, and taking pictures outside.
They looked expectant, with excitement on their faces.

From time to time, domestic magazine media and newspapers will publish the progress of the national pavilion corresponding to the classical genre, and the sales of newspapers and periodicals with such content are often very high.

Some critics and designers expressed their views and praises on the various classical national pavilions, which are the favorites of Barcelona and even the whole of Spain and European residents.

Bai Gongtong seemed to have finally realized the worry on Adrian Smith's face when he first arrived.

He was still careless before, but now he finally realizes that his previous self was thinking too shallowly.

This is different from the United States and Canada. This is Europe and the birthplace of various western classical schools. Classical elements have been nourished in this land for thousands of years.

Contrary to the high attention paid to the national pavilions of Western countries, whether it is the construction of the Chinese national pavilion here, or the construction of the American pavilion not far away, the two major national pavilions are completely ignored.

From the team's arrival in Barcelona to the start of the construction, there was no disturbance in Barcelona, ​​and it was almost completely ignored, as if the two national pavilions belonged to not the only superpower in the world!

"Got to do something."

"Otherwise, you will really have to rush to the street."

With green grass in his mouth, his eyeballs rolling around, he only heard Bai Gongtong talking to himself.

"Designer Bai!"

"Designer Bai!"

Just as he was thinking about his ideas, there was a sound coming from the direction of the American Pavilion in the distance. Following the sound, he saw Adrian Smith trotting over with a few newspapers in his hand.

"What's the matter, Smith?"

Gongtong raised her eyebrows and asked.

"The host designer of the British Pavilion, Mr. Ragnar Osterberg, the master of romanticism; the host designer of the French Pavilion, Mr. Mario, the master of classicism, and Mr. Salvador Dali, the master of the Swedish Pavilion, arrived in Barcelona. .”

Smith handed the newspaper to Davidia involucrata, took a few short breaths, and said repeatedly.

Gong Tong took the newspaper, glanced roughly at the headlines of each newspaper, her face couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Masters of Romanticism, Classicism, and Baroque Architecture Arrive in Barcelona! "

"The Artist's Palace", Barcelona is recognized as the most perfect city in the international architectural circles. "

"Welcome Mr. Ragnar Osterberg, the master of romanticism!" "

The largest page of each newspaper's front page uses a big headline to express the welcome and advocacy of the three masters of the classical genre!

"Huh!"

"How come no one greets you guys when you arrive in Barcelona?"

Davidia Davidson frowned, then put down the newspaper, looked at Adrian Smith and joked again: "Smith, did you get any newspaper reports when you came?"

Adrian Smith blushed when he heard that, he scratched his head, but looked at Bai Gongtong respectfully and said seriously:

"If Designer Bai arrives in any city in the United States, he will definitely receive a more grand welcome than this."

Gongtong listened, and said with a smile: "Hey, not bad, young man, you can talk now, and what you say is really comfortable to listen to."

"However, what are these three masters here for?"

Davidia Davidson paused for a moment, then asked again seriously.

"It is said that he was invited by the high society in Barcelona and came to inspect the progress and achievements of the construction of the National Pavilion."

Adrian Smith responded.

"No wonder."

"That's why this report says that tonight a welcome party will be held in the Guell family for the three masters of Ragnar Osterberg."

Dove Tong pondered in her heart, then raised her head to look at Adrian Smith, his eyes flickered for a moment, and the light flickered away, only to hear him ask:
"Can I get an invitation to the reception?"

Adrian was a little taken aback.

Tonight's reception is obviously the pursuit of classical masters by the nobles and rich people of Barcelona's upper class. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to go there?
"Of course!"

Adrian Smith thought so, but he didn't pause, and immediately responded: "In our capacity, we will not be turned away from any party in the world."

"only"

As soon as he finished speaking, the conversation suddenly changed, and Adrian was a little hesitant.

"That's fine."

Seeing Davidia involucrata spitting out the green grass, he interrupted, stood up from the stone, and slapped the dust on his butt nonchalantly with his two big hands.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and Davidia Davidson stood in front of Adrian, with a half-smile: "Accompany me to the reception tonight."

"Come and pick me up when it's time."

"Ok, deal!"

Without giving Adrian a chance to refuse, he strode towards the China Pavilion surrounded by the four-meter-high green brick wall.

Adrian Smith blinked his eyes as he looked at the receding figure, and for some unknown reason, images from every time he met Bai Gongtong in Sydney suddenly appeared in his head.

It is in front of the Sydney jury building, it is the pointing Jiangshan in the casino, and it is the church of light in the old community
It is the Sydney Opera House in the Art Museum, and it is a lecture in Chicago
Frames of pictures flashed by quickly, and the anxiety in Adrian Smith's heart suddenly dissipated, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

On the other side, Bai Gongtong, who had gone away, began to think about the three classical masters who had arrived.

The old ancestors said it well, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.

"Master Mario."

Gongtong said lightly, with a smile in her eyes.

This is the real master who cast a key vote for him in the Grand Louvre project.

"Master Ragnar Osterberg."

I went back to the information of Master Mario in my mind and began to think about this romantic master.

Davidia Davidson's face was slightly solemn: "The masterpiece is the Stockholm City Hall."

"Facing the water on both sides of the building, a majestically standing tower forms a strong contrast with the podium stretching along the water, with highly decorative longitudinal strip windows. The whole building is like a sailing ship, magnificent and magnificent."

"To this day remains the most important jewel of Swedish architecture."

"He himself has been called the 'geek' of Romantic architecture."

"This is a master with profound attainments."

Dove Tong commented on it.

"Salvador Dali, painter and architect."
