Before giving the appraisal conclusion, Ye Tian once again reached out and turned on the live broadcast microphone, and loudly stated his appraisal conclusion to everyone on the live broadcast.
This is of course intentional. Everyone who hears the appraisal conclusion and sees this impressionistic painting can become the most powerful witness.
Under the public gaze, even if the German guy wants to play any tricks, he will be a little more scrupulous!
Walker and the others all stopped what they were doing and looked at Ye Tian and the oil painting Derek held in his hands, their eyes extremely hot.
“Degenerate artist? Steven, which Impressionist master is this work?”
Although Derek and the others knew about the so-called “degenerate art”, they could not identify the origin of this Impressionist painting, so they asked this question.
Not only them, but also the people in the temporary conference room of the Temple Palace, many experts and scholars in the square outside, media reporters and people watching the excitement, as well as the vast majority of people in front of the live broadcast, were all confused at this time .
What is degenerate art? What is a degenerate artist? Many people don’t know it and have never heard of it!
Ye Tian turned to look at Derek, then glanced at everyone present, and then said with a smile:
“Let’s talk about this Impressionist painting first, and then explain to you what degenerate art is and what degenerate artists are. That will be more intuitive and easier for everyone to understand.
The Impressionism painting in front of you is a work by Monet, the leader of Impressionism and a top art master. It was created at the peak of Monet’s artistic career and can be said to be priceless.
While traveling in the Mediterranean in 1907, Monet painted this Impressionist painting, one of a series of landscapes and seascapes he created at that time, depicting Provence scenery.
Before World War II, this painting was circulated in the hands of many top collectors. However, during World War II, this Monet painting suddenly disappeared and has not been reappeared until today.”
Before the words could even be finished, Derek, who was holding this top-notch work of art, and Walker who were standing next to him, were already cheering loudly.
“Wow! It is actually a painting by the Impressionist art master Monet, and it is Monet’s peak work, so there is no doubt that this painting must be a top-notch work of art!”
“That’s great! This is the most valuable treasure. This painting alone is probably worth seven or eight boxes or even more gold!”
While Walker and the others were cheering, everything inside and outside the Temple Palace, as well as in front of countless live broadcasts, was completely boiling.
“Ah! Monet’s paintings at the peak of his artistic career, did I hear you correctly? Steven, this bastard, is so lucky that he can find all kinds of treasures”
“Just now it was Michelangelo’s “Madame de Bruges”, and now it’s Monet’s “Provence Landscape”. I can’t even imagine what kind of top-notch antique artworks will appear next! ”
Compared to ordinary people, experts and scholars who have studied Western art history and Impressionism art were more shocked at this time.
The first time they saw this Impressionist painting, they all felt as if they were electrocuted. They jumped three feet high and jumped up from their seats, staring at the painting in stunned silence.
Of course they knew about this Impressionist oil painting, the great value of this painting, and the history hidden behind it, so they were so shocked.
Before they could react, Ye Tian’s clear voice came again, clearly reaching everyone’s ears.
“Time is limited, so I won’t introduce the details of Monet’s landscape oil painting here. When I have time later, I will introduce this pleasing painting to you in detail.”
Hearing his words, Walker and Derek nodded in unison, with no disagreement.
As for the people in front of the live broadcast, even if they have opinions, they cannot reflect them, and Ye Tian will not care about their feelings.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“After introducing the origin of this landscape oil painting, let’s talk about what degenerate art is? What is a degenerate artist? These are closely related to Hitler, and there are many stories hidden behind them.
As we all know, Hitler had a very strong artistic complex. He often regarded himself as an artist. When he was a boy, Hitler’s ideal was to become a Michelangelo-style artist.
After adulthood, the ideal of becoming an artistic genius still appeared in Hitler’s mind. For this reason, he passed the Vienna Academy of Art twice. Unfortunately, his paintings were not appreciated by the examiners.
After failing the Vienna Academy of Art, in order to make a living, he relied on copying postcards with simple watercolor paints to earn living expenses in the next few years. Those days were very embarrassing.
After moving to Munich in 1913, Hitler’s artist career took a significant leap. In Munich, he began to paint more and more oil paintings, and the sales were good, and he could even fund his sister Paula.
In 1914, when the First World War began, Hitler still did not give up painting on the battlefield. He contributed to frontline newspapers and sketched in camps, and created many works during this period.
I believe that there must be Hitler’s paintings hidden here, and there may be many of them. By then, everyone will be able to see what Hitler’s painting level is and whether he can be considered an artist.”
Hearing what he said, many neo-Nactics on the live broadcast immediately felt like they had been given a shot of blood, and they roared with excitement, like a group of demons dancing around!
For these neo-Nazis, it is self-evident what the artwork created by Hitler himself means!
Without any pause, Ye Tian’s voice continued to come out.
“In 1918, Germany’s defeat caused Hitler’s artistic enthusiasm to cool down rapidly, and he decided to join politics. Even so, he continued to paint until he became the German Chancellor, and he did not give up painting.
However, painting has given way to politics and turned into a hobby, and his short career as an artist has ended. However, Hitler always felt that he was an artist in his heart and boasted that he had a high appreciation and attainment of art.
He once vetoed the punishment of a bankrupt on the grounds that ‘this person is an artist, I am an artist, and artists do not understand financial transactions.’ His artistic complex inevitably affected Nacui’s cultural policy.
In addition to being a self-proclaimed artist, Hitler was also a collector. Before World War II, he began to collect a large amount of art. Not only did he spend his own money to buy it, Nazis also frantically collected art from all over Europe.
In art transactions, Hitler, like many collectors, shows a unique paranoia. He usually selects artworks from auction catalogs and then entrusts a middleman to buy them without considering the price at all.
As time went by, Hitler’s enthusiasm for art collection gradually grew into an obsession. He considered himself an expert on art issues and asked others to treat his evaluation as a standard.
Hitler favored German Romantic painters and Italian Renaissance works, as well as painters from the German School of Painting in the 19th century, and collected many related works of art, such as “Lady of Bruges”.
His artistic tendency is probably related to his physical condition. During World War I, he was attacked by a gas bomb, which affected his vision and lost his strong sensitivity to colors.
In private conversations and public speeches, Hitler often criticized modern art since Impressionism, calling these modern arts “abnormal scribbling or degenerate art” and dismissing them.
These representatives of modern art, many top art masters, such as Monet, Gauguin, Chagall, Renoir, Picasso and other famous painters, are therefore called ‘degenerate artists'”
After hearing this, many people on the live broadcast suddenly realized what degenerate art is.
Ye Tian’s performance continued, and the people on the live broadcast were listening with interest and even became fascinated.
“In fact, Hitler’s artistic concept followed realism out of political needs. He advocated using ideology and art to promote politics, and strived to use art to reflect politics in painting.
Although modern art schools such as Impressionism were classified as degenerate art by Hitler, his Nazi elements began to plunder crazily the works of these degenerate arts, especially the masterpieces.
In the history of Western art, it was a dark history. Among the top artworks plundered were a series of works by famous painters such as Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Picasso.
According to incomplete statistics, the total number of works of art plundered by Hitler on the grounds of “degenerate art” is as high as 600,000. After the end of World War II, a large part of these works of art have never been found.
In the eyes of the world, art is Hitler’s most obvious label. Many people even joke that the main purpose of Hitler launching World War II was to **** top-notch artworks.
It is a huge surprise to discover this long-lost landscape oil painting by the Impressionist master Monet today. I believe that we will discover more top-notch works of art in the future.
For example, the works of famous painters such as Cézanne, Renoir, and Picasso. In Hitler’s eyes, their paintings are degenerate art, but in my eyes, these degenerate arts are priceless treasures! ”
Before he finished speaking, the world outside was completely boiling.
“More top-level works of art, is it possible that the degenerate art paintings and works of top art masters that were plundered by Hitler are hidden in this underground palace? Steven, a bastard, is too daring to think about it. ! ”
