Beware of fake oil paintings

Beware of fake oil paintings A few years ago, a Taiwan painting dealer took two pictures that are said to be Wu Zuoren's oil paintings to let the author see whether there is fraud. From the picture, the brushwork is slow and astringent, and the color is monotonous, which is not like the oil painting of Wu Zuoren seen in the past. Since it is hard to say whether the painting is a fake or not because we have not seen the original, we have to give advice: "Even if it is painted by Wu, it is not a post-Brexit painting." Whether it is worth the investment, please decide for yourself. In recent years, fake paintings are rampant, but few involve foreign painting, such as oil painting. Probably because in addition to a few of everyone's works, the general people buy music and painting are more home decoration, investment collectors are very few. A few years ago, overseas galleries took Chinese oil painting fever, thus making; The e soaring prices of older Chinese oil paintings have caught the attention of buyers, and fakes have entered the market In fact, in recent years, some of the paintings of the project are very questionable, the most outrageous one is the 2001 Hangzhou West Lake Expo "' Rainy Night Floor 'collection of early Chinese oil painting exhibition", the exhibition of more than 200 works, including almost all early Chinese oil painters. Among them, there are 19 oil paintings and three sketches by Li Tiefu. When I first saw the news, I had my doubts about these paintings. Guangdong is the birthplace of Li Tiefu and the place where he lived in his later years. Over the years, all parties have searched for only 20 or 30 oil paintings. Why are there 19 of his oil paintings in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? So you don't know. From the 1918 painting "Musician" and 1919 painting "Matador" can be seen that Li Tiefu oil painting skills as early as 1920 to be skilled, why to copy other people's paintings in 1939? The biggest flaw is the signature in the painting. In his early signature, Li Tiefu usually wrote his Chinese name "Tiefu Li Wentian" and signed his English name "L.Y.EIN". Later, he simply signed his Chinese name "Tiefu". Tamata is Li Tiefu's original name. The copyist may only know Li Tiefu but not his original name, which is why he has the "T.F.EE" signature. Two other paintings, called Li Tiefu, were found to be poor copies, one by a French painter, the other by an American painter, Hawke, in "Doubt". Its rough picture, I believe that some oil painting accomplishment of the people can see. According to the few pictures we have seen, the fraud of this batch of "Rainy night floor collection paintings" is very crude. It is said that the frames of these paintings are worn and peeling, and some of them are also cracked, so they can be regarded as evidence of authenticity. In fact, these are small tricks, not difficult! In contrast to the clumsiness of this batch of paintings, the propaganda is quite clever. The mysterious owner confused the source of the painting, and raised the appetite of the media, so that many newspapers and magazines at home and abroad, television for this unknown origin of the painting was introduced, some media even gave high praise, finally the painting to the West Lake Expo appearance, in order to get public recognition. Because Chinese people are not familiar with Western music and painting, so far there is no professional institution in China for the technical analysis of early sleeve paintings, coupled with the rapid market demand, there will naturally be fake paintings. Take a walk through Guangzhou's art shop Street and you will see a large number of copies of oil paintings for sale. The AUTHOR ALSO ASKED A FEW SPECIAL FACE painting "LINE goods SON", they COPY WESTERN oil painting for a long time, to the original author is who has lost the feeling, anyhow boss "fall alone", look at can also. Have you ever seen the oil paintings of early Chinese painters? No one can say for sure. More than TEN years ago, a friend of the author who painted "goods" copied the QING Dynasty Guangdong export oil painting for the American guest. These days, whatever sells sells. Don't believe it? Go TO THE GALLERY OF WENde ROAD to have a look, COPY of Chen Yanning, Chen Yifei can be found at any time, and also can order, want who's painting, single, in a few days to be available, so want to buy early Chinese oil painting market should be vigilant
