There are two selling points. First, Lv Shaohua’s paintings combine Jiangnan Tang style traditional Chinese painting techniques with French oil painting realism techniques to form unique Lv style painting techniques. Second, Lv Shaohua has lived in Henan for many years (absolutely Inside story), he painted Huangshan for a long period of time (a span of several decades), and used Huangshan to embody the majestic and majestic realm he had cultivated in painting the Yellow River. He is present in the Great Hall of the People and the Diaoyutai State Council. The hotel is nothing more than the Yellow River and Huangshan Mountains, which has an excellent effect of increasing the environmental aura. This is what makes his paintings valuable. The current official domestic quotation is 30,000 per square foot for traditional Chinese paintings and 60,000 for oil paintings. The foreign quotations are slightly higher. The actual purchase price of calligraphy and painting dealers is about 50% off the official quotation, and it is about 30% to 30% off in the hands of collectors. The price also fluctuates depending on the channel. I have played with his paintings before. As for calligraphy, it is much cheaper than his paintings. The official price is 8,000 per square foot, the dealer price is about 3,000 to 4,000, and the final collector’s price ranges from 4,000 to 5,000. But his calligraphy Trading volume is low.
As for his status in the painting world, it can only be said that he has a lot of background and considerable development prospects. Is he the vice chairman of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association? He has the same weight as the chairman and member of a certain provincial calligraphy and painting association. The level is higher, ranking quite high in the country, but limited to a certain province, the popularity is not as good as some local painters, because the collecting world, especially the calligraphy and painting world, is very exclusive in some aspects. As for Lu Shaohua, his ancestral home is in Nanjing, he studied painting under Tang Bohu's family, he grew up in Henan, he went to Paris when he grew up, and now he is in Shaanxi when he matures. Haha, this is the situation. At present, there are advertising companies in Xi'an investing in him and promoting him to compete with the local Chang'an Painting School, but he is in good health and not too old, haha, you know.
There is another very important point, and it is also my personal opinion. His small peonies are very good, and I personally think they are as good as those of the Yellow River and Huangshan.
? Regarding fakes, you should also note that there are a lot of imitations of his works on the market. Keep your eyes peeled. I know a painter in Xi'an who does high-level paintings. No matter how big or small, he copied 800 of Lu's works on the spot. One painting was all designed to fool the leader who didn’t know how to paint. Think of a six-foot or eight-foot landscape. Lu Shaohua himself would have to paint one or two all-nighters to finish it. The artist only needed a few hours to copy it. It was purely shoddy ( Of course, it is not ruled out that there are high imitations that are painted with great care)! Therefore, collectors should keep their eyes open. Nowadays, paintings are called "fidelity". How can we maintain authenticity? The authenticity of deceased painters needs to be authenticated by experts. It is very simple to ensure the authenticity of the works of living painters. Just invite the author himself on the spot. Appraisal is enough. It is the most direct and reassuring. Lu Shaohua's large-format works can easily cost hundreds of thousands or millions. And if the person is still alive, if you don't let him appraise it himself, you won't feel at ease if anyone gives you an appraisal guarantee. I targeted him a few years ago when he was still in Beijing. I hid a lot through some people around him. Welcome to communicate with me. QQ: 113662361. I hope it can be helpful to you.
