Qi Baishi painted a spider and sold it for 1.2 million, is it worth it?

Speaking of Qi Baishi, the first thing that comes to mind for many friends is the shrimp painted by Qi Baishi. Qi Baishi is a famous painting master in modern China, and his painting skills have reached a very high level. Is such a high level because he has been trained to draw since he was a child?

Actually, no, Qi Baishi was already middle-aged when he came into contact with painting, and before that, he was still a carpenter, and not only that, but he also did a lot of work to make a living.

After coming into contact with painting, Qi Baishi fell into it and became more and more obsessed with painting, and after decades of continuous efforts, this once despised carpenter has now become a grandmaster-level painter。We can see in Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings, Qi Baishi's skillful combination of fine brushwork and freehand painting skills, so the shrimp in his pen are lifelike and full of spirituality, and are also known as one of the "three uniques" of Qi Baishi's paintings.

Qi Baishi is not only good at painting shrimp, but also good at painting crabs, those grass insects, also vividly expressed in his pen. Even the spiders that people can't look down on were shocked by the extraordinary value of Qi Baishi's paintings, and even sold them at a sky-high price of 1.2 million, which stunned everyone. What kind of earth-shattering work is this painting?

Is this painting worth it?

The answer is one word: value. In appearance, it's really small, only the size of a matchbox, but if we zoom in on the spider on this small painting, you will find that the painting is very well handled in terms of details, not only the form is no different from the spider entityAnd the color, proportion, and structure control are just right.

We all know that spider legs are very thin, and the average person may only show the spider's legs with a line. But Qi Baishi is different, he not only painted every leg of the spider very realistically, but also did not let go of even the most subtle places, and the spines on the legs that were difficult to find were vividly expressed by Qi Baishi. I have to say that the value of this painting is really high, and it is no wonder that it will become a sky-high painting.

It can be seen from this that Qi Baishi's painting is really exquisite, not to mention things that are visible to the naked eye, even if it is something that cannot be seen by the naked eye, he can also express it vividly, it is simply a painting within a paintingIt's so vivid that sometimes I even feel like it's not a painting, it's like a living thing there.

Details determine success or failure, painting is also very detail-oriented, Qi Baishi is the most detail-oriented person, in his paintings, many details are not visible to the naked eye. It is actually very difficult for a person's painter to reach this realm, so Qi Baishi's painter has to be admired, he is really a well-deserved artist.

It is especially worth it, because Qi Baishi is a very powerful painter, and he has his own style, and his paintings are very valuable.

Value. Because this is a masterpiece, and its author is already very famous, 10 points are collectible.

Value. Because the spider painted by Qi Baishi is very artistic, and Qi Baishi spent a lot of energy to paint this painting, I think it is worth it.

It's true. Because Qi Baishi is a famous painter, the things he paints are collectible, so they are worth the price.

Qi Baishi's painting of insects is very realistic and realistic, and it may not be inferior to today's hyper-realistic painters, and the bees painted by Qi Baishi are also painted with their wings shaking.

It is not up to anyone to say how much a person's painting is worth, but more importantly, the meaning behind his painting and the perception of the person who sees it.
