Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Cultivation items are unavoidable, and they may not appear in large auctions, and they may not be absent in small auctions.

After hesitating a bit, Xiao Yao decided to participate, "The day after tomorrow happens to be nothing, then go take a look."

"This magic city is the top club in the magic city. Although the president does not lack personal connections, the entertainment facilities in this club are very complete. It is definitely a good choice to come and play occasionally. Do a membership card?" Zheng Xiaowu suggested.

"Let's do one, maybe it will be used anytime."

Xiao Yao has more and more businesses in the Magic City, and there is Fang Suxi's girlfriend. It is inevitable that the Magic City should be a good choice when it comes to entertaining guests.

With Xiao Yao's identity, coupled with the introduction of Zheng Xiaowu, Xiao Yao will naturally not have any obstacles to join the Magic City.

Zheng Xiaowu passed the news to the person in charge of the Magic City, Xiao Yao didn't even need to go to the club, and the administrator of the Magic City personally came to apply for the membership card for him.

With Xiao Yao’s identity, the clubhouse handled him as the most senior vIp member. After all the procedures were completed, the club manager did not leave, but continued to say: “Chairman Xiao, our clubhouse and auction company will be the day after tomorrow. The joint auction will officially begin. I heard Mr. Zheng said that you are also going to participate. Can you be sure now? If it can be confirmed, I will send you the invitation letter right away."

"Then you can send me the invitation letter, I should be able to participate."

"This is really great. It is absolutely our honor to have a business leader like you participate in our auction." With a flattering sentence, the club manager turned around and said, "Chairman Xiao, you are the first time to participate. Our auction, and just become our senior member, you must support us."

"Since you are already a member of your club, of course I will support your work." Xiao Yao said casually.

"Thank you so much!" The club manager looked excited, "With your support, in the future, in front of other members, I will definitely have a lot of face. I heard from Mr. Zheng that you are a rare collector in China. , I don’t know if you have those exchangeable collections on hand? If so, can you support our auction? The collections collected in this auction are a bit small, especially the lack of heavyweight finale lots, Xiao Hui If I can support my work in the long run, then my work will be easier."

"The moment you open your mouth is the finale, don't you value me too much?" Xiao Yao didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"You are the president of the Xiaoyao Club. In your capacity, the item you sent for the auction is definitely extraordinary, and the price is definitely not low. If you can't let you send the auction for the finale, then I'm not sensible." The manager said seriously.

"I've been held so high by you, if I can't bring out good things, I really don't have a good face at this point. You wait a while, I will get things for you."

Although what the club manager said was flattery, as Xiao Yao's identity, the thing that he sent for the shoot shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise, his identity would indeed be discredited.

After a short time, Xiao Yao took out an oil painting.

The size of this oil painting is relatively large. It looks like it is 1.8 meters wide and 2 meters 3 long.

Xiao Yao hung up the painting, and the club manager saw the content of the oil painting clearly.

Upon seeing this picture, the club manager’s face was filled with surprise!

This painting is so recognizable that it turned out to be "Blood Relationship: Big Family" by Zhang Xiaogang.

Zhang Xiaogang is one of the representative figures of modern painters, and his works are the best embodiment of the sophisticated Chinese situation in contemporary art.

Beginning in the mid-1990s, he used modern Chinese pop art styles to express facial portraits of the revolutionary era, conveying collective psychological memories and emotions of contemporary significance. This typical presentation and simulation of society, collectives, families, and blood ties is a re-interpretation, starting from the perspective of art, emotion, and life, and therefore has a strong contemporary significance.

The portraits in this work make the portraits illusory and idealized, and the protagonist creates an image that is worthy of the future generations with dignity and dignity.

Like the portrait photos in the early studios, the blemishes and spots on each person's face have been washed out, so that they are perfect and pure... These figures represent the masses of today. These "masses", as a kind of schema, have surpassed the canvas and become a symbol of the change of time.

Zhang Xiaogang belongs to the era of dark blue and army green, and also represents the sharpest gaze in that era that has passed away.

"Bloodline: Big Family No. 3" happens to be the best testimony of history!

The Bloodline series was born in Kunming in the summer of 1993. Its first exhibition was the "Chinese Art in the 1990s: Chinese Experience" exhibition at the Sichuan Art Museum in Chengdu in December of the same year.

This exhibition is curated by critic Wang Lin. The participating artists are Zhang Xiaogang, Mao Xuhui, Ye Yongqing, Wang Chuan and Zhou Chunya. These artists are members of the Southwest Art Research Association, a new trend art group. In this exhibition, Zhang Xiaogang exhibited ten works, including one "Family Portrait".

The portraits of a family of three are depicted in a realistic way in the painting, which is likely to represent the artist's own family. The thin and thin characters in this work have similarities with "Blood Relations: Big Family". The light on the characters also foresees the later discoloration light patterns, but the shading of the background is not as detailed as the later works. This work, which was later named "Blood Relationship: Family Portrait", was collected by the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. It was the first time that Zhang Xiaogang's work became the collection of an international art institution.

Xiao Yao personally likes Zhang Xiaogang's works very much. He believes that if one wants to find works that echo modern history in contemporary Chinese art, it is impossible to avoid the important position of "Bloodline: Big Family" in contemporary Chinese art.

This series represented contemporary China at major international exhibitions in the West in 1994, including the São Paulo Biennale and the Venice Biennale. The artist used photos from the period of writing as a blueprint to record the trauma of a generation of Chinese to the past history. Memory.

The "Bloodline: Big Family" series marked the artist's determination to abandon expressionism and consciously search for a face representing the Chinese on the canvas. From the individual to the nation, from the myth of individual existence to the gaze of national history, it shows The artist's introspective style of leaving early expressionism and surrealism has become the most important milestone in Zhang Xiaogang's creative career, and has become a recurring motif in his future creation.
