In this world, the most famous painting had to be the Mona Lisa Smile. French artists had set up a "Mona Lisa Smile Research Society" to study this painting.
Articles such as "Thirteen Details in a Painting", "The Origin of Mona Lisa's Smile", "Da Vinci and Aliens" were all written by this research society.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of research society did not need to exist, but for those in the circle, good things had to be studied thoroughly.
So after the opening of the Hut of the Painting God, young European artists, led by Baina, "established the Monster Eating Painting Society."
The purpose was to study the techniques used in the Monster Eating Painting, as well as the meaning it represented.
A short section of the research society's discussion
"Eating is the most basic behavior for animals to survive. I think Crow borrowed the monster, just like Georges Rouault's drunken woman and clown. They are strange and ferocious, reaching the core of the creature."
Rouault was the greatest painter of religious subjects after Rembrandt.
Some painters had a different opinion. "Mr. Rubio is the representative of the Wild School of Painting. How could you put Wu and Mr. Rubio together? In my opinion, this monster is based on Naberius. Naberius is the Demon God who represents science and art. Wu has broken away from the Demon God and is using the Divine Light to paint. The monster eating is clearly Wu's rebellion against modern art and science!"
"I'm just making an analogy. The monster has a human mouth. It's clearly a strange personification. I insist on defending my opinion."
…
The dispute continued. Years later, the meaning of the Monster Eating Painting would be called a mystery in the art world.
The founder, Baina, did not care about the dispute between the members. In his opinion, it would be strange if there were no disputes in art. He had more important things to do.
Baina wanted to invite Feng Ti to join. He thought it was a sure thing, but Feng Ti hesitated for a long time and finally refused!
Yesterday, the one who was most shocked by the Monster Eating Painting was not Baina, but Feng Ti.
Baina felt that it was not appropriate to describe Feng Ti's expression as stunned.
So now, why not join?
All his doubts turned into questions, and Baina asked Feng Ti.
Feng Ti replied, "Baina, do you think the Monster Eating Painting is Crow's best work?"
"The reason why Wu is called the last hope of the European art world is that he can break through everyone's definition of him time and time again, from 'Looking Up at the World' to 'This is Life'."
"This picture of a monster eating is very obvious. It's the culmination of Wu's skills in the first half of his life. I believe that with Wu's talent, he will be able to surpass it in the second half of his life. However, that will be in ten or twenty years." Bai Na concluded.
Feng Ti nodded. It was obvious that he thought the same way before he chatted with Wuhai.
"What's wrong?" Bai Na could not help but ask when he saw the strange expression on her face.
Feng Ti took a deep breath and said, "Wu told me that soon, there will be an even better work than the Monster Eating Painting in the auction house. Wu drew it himself."
"That's impossible!" Bai Na interrupted Feng Ti's words without hesitation.
This was easy to compare. On Mount Akina, it was not easy to see the taillights of the car in front of you, but someone told you that the other car was already two laps ahead of you.
How could an experienced driver accept this?
Feng Ti, as someone with "experience", understood Bai Na's current state very well. Therefore, she told him about the conversation between Wuhai and him, especially about the cooperation with Yuan Zhou.
Of course, before this, Feng Ti had asked Wuhai if he could tell others about this news. Wuhai's answer was that it was an auction anyway, so it didn't matter.
Bai Na was silent. Both of them used to regard Wuhai as an opponent, so they had a certain understanding of his personality. Since he said there was a better one, then there must be.
"Yuan Zhou, the cause of the French Seductive Storm?" Bai Na asked.
"What's Seductive Storm?" Feng Ti heard a strange word.
Bai Na explained, "Because my girlfriend likes to eat food from all over the world, so I …"
"Stop, if you want to talk about business, then talk about business. Why are you talking about your girlfriend for no reason?" Feng Ti interrupted Bai Na's words. As someone who only had Wuhai and painting in his heart, Feng Ti expressed that he was an emotionless artist.
"Other than painting, I also do some research on food. Our French cuisine has new school, classic school, and seventeen school. What's popular all over the world now is the new school of French cuisine," Bai Na said. "On the contrary, in the French cuisine academy and the association, the chefs who have the right to speak are the classic school of French cuisine.
"What's more, in our country, is the seventeen school of French cuisine is the most popular."
Feng Ti nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I also prefer to eat the seventeen school of French cuisine."
The factions of French cuisine could be divided by region or time, but most French people preferred to be divided by time.
The template of the classic French cuisine was the dishes of the French royal family. At that time, all the chefs followed this, even though there was a huge difference in the ingredients between the commoners and the nobles.
As for the "seventeen school of French cuisine," because it was a French translation, there were many specific names. The free translation was the commoner's cuisine. It rose in the seventeen years after France joined the North Atlantic Treaty.
As for the new school, there was no need to mention it. It could be eaten in French restaurants. The three factions were scattered and had serious internal strife, so Auguste took the lead and united the French cuisine department and the International Federation of Chefs to reform.
In one of Auguste's public speeches, he said that the reason for such a plan was to "cultivate a French Yuanzhou".
Therefore, many chefs called this event the Yuan Seduction Storm.
Feng Ti added, "Wu also said that the one who influenced him the most is this Yuanzhou, so I'm going to take a look."
When Bai Na heard that, he immediately wanted to meet this "chef living in the art world", so the two of them hit it off and prepared to go together.
They wanted to see if it was really that magical.
Regarding the opening in the morning, Zheng Jiawei did not even need to buy the headlines. European, American, and domestic newspapers were scrambling to report on it.
The treatment was similar to Yuan Zhou's record-breaking solo exhibition. The only difference was that Wuhai's core influence was in Europe and America, while Yuan Zhou's core influence was in Asia. It just so happened that this time, they had crossed paths …
It was almost time to line up for dinner in the afternoon, and the number of diners gradually increased.
"Wuhai, I'm sorry that I couldn't come to your opening ceremony because I had something to do today," said Yin Ya to Wuhai.
"It's fine, it's fine." Wuhai waved his hand, indicating that it was fine. Then, he took a glance at Yuan Zhou. Seeing that Yuan Zhou was not paying attention to them, he said sneakily, "It's not a big deal. As long as you think of me, Wuhai, when Compass treats you to good food, everything else is not important."
Yin Ya did not know what to say, "Uh …"
"Eaves Wu, you're really awesome. Did you recommend all these foreigners here?" Zhou Xi appeared out of nowhere.
Looking around, Wuhai's expression changed. Only then did he realize that there were suddenly a lot of foreigners at Taoxi Road tonight.
