Mondriaan, the master of abstraction, hung upside down for 77 years, but no one found it. Why did he make such a joke?

This thing is really wonderful. On the one hand, the master's works are auctioned at sky-high prices all over the world, on the other hand, the accidentally abandoned works encounter dust somewhere. Does this mean that people are different from the master's paintings? That's not true. If someone tells them in advance that the painting was painted by the master himself, these people will be eager for it, and even be glad that they got this classic painting without blowing off the dust. The reason for this joke is that many people who pursue art actually don't understand art at all, they are just being arty. Otherwise, why did the abstract master mondriaan's line drawing hang upside down for 77 years and no one found it? They bought these works in various auction houses with astronomical figures, but they really put them in front of them, and they simply couldn't tell whether they were from masters. This is obviously the greatest irony of contemporary art collection. Originally, I bought famous paintings not for myself, but for others, not to improve my artistic accomplishment, but to increase my conversation after dinner.

A long time ago, everyone heard such a story at school. A painter invited his friends to his home. Before that, he hung a picture that his daughter had scribbled with a pencil on the wall. As a result, these friends expressed their understanding of art after reading it, and basically praised the painter for his avant-garde artistic concept, flattering him with various excuses and improving his aesthetic level. As a result, when the painter told them that it was just his daughter's graffiti, everyone froze in place and felt extremely ashamed.

At that time, I thought it was just a story, but now it happened in the real world. As a master of abstract painting, mondriaan left many classic works to the world. Many collectors would rather pay sky-high prices for his paintings. As a result, one of his line drawings has been upside down for 77 years and no one has found anything unusual. It's amazing. First of all, no one may notice the abnormality. Secondly, even if someone does this, it is because they dare not question the master and choose to remain silent. That's what made such a big joke.

The whole thing reflects that there are great problems in the field of art collection. Few people really understand art and collection. Many people are just being arty and creating chips for themselves to enter the upstream society. In addition, authority is slowly killing the aesthetic concept of ordinary people. Someone must have seen something wrong with this painting, but they dare not question it, because no one will believe what a nobody says, which is actually a very sad thing.
