1 00:00:09,540 --> 00:00:17,760 Well, first of all, thank you, everyone. And those comes over and says I'm not going to lie to I see lots of familiar faces, 2 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:25,710 the museum curators and directors say going enthusiasm museum David Elliott invited me in 1983 as a 3 00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:33,450 director of Oxford Modern Art and Modern Art Museum to participating in an exhibition here in Oxford, 4 00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:46,380 Windsor. So that's OK. And like Mr Wayne Burt, who is a major collector of my works in New York and shoots in Canada, quite young then. 5 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:50,230 But of course, I hope. Do you think every one of the speakers today? 6 00:00:50,230 --> 00:00:55,170 It's, you know, it's my thought. I took all these notes very well with them. 7 00:00:55,170 --> 00:01:05,520 And if fire don't and more that you hold me tight, I will regard all your papers and insights as the medium of my future artworks. 8 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,740 So you there is a boy who uses it to say what it means. 9 00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:15,750 So today I hope to talk a little bit about how I have been using art, 10 00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:22,560 museums and art history as my medium to your voice, and it's almost out of my question. 11 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:31,710 And due to the limited time, I hope to focus more on my maximal project, the SHEIKHA. 12 00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:34,620 Two quick hands on, say, some walk or you can dance. 13 00:01:34,620 --> 00:01:41,040 You can see the engineers hands over the tiny and you so that also the Young Sheldon back in my childhood, 14 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,390 might you see my hometown change or I was already influenced by the Soviet Union painting? 15 00:01:48,390 --> 00:01:57,540 You come down the Europeans, are you watch? Depending on the same time, we spy on a pond portrayed by Levitan. 16 00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:05,220 Now go back inside and I see got home from a city that controls the town zone. 17 00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:14,360 As you can see, I framed to properly a poorly reproduced image of the painting, and you have only my studio and my child in my hometown. 18 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,720 Now you say what the Georgian system Typekit gherkins and swung in chapati. 19 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:27,520 Is as young as you want time. I also looked around in my hometown trying to identify a similar pond and try to portray the pond in my own style. 20 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:43,230 There is also the only woman I saw you had since Gwangju and Soviet Union's paintings on me and my peers, Tessa. 21 00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:48,090 What constitutes a direct relationship with our paintings? Also, the silly answer. 22 00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:53,460 And so, quite so. You see, one point in the sand stopped in Soviet paintings, in Russian paintings, 23 00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:58,530 where the earliest were our earliest exposure to the so-called Western paintings. 24 00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:07,290 So you can down to a model, then the uncertainty of that, as you can see, here are the posters in the back of the classroom. 25 00:03:07,290 --> 00:03:14,320 Everyone carries the beard, except for Chairman Mao, who say to the shaman, you can. 26 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,890 No, he it the median Stanko. Some guidance on you. 27 00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:28,110 Your thought that you thought, Oh, you Ticino. So many times that you have been so on for for all of us and in our childhood in China, 28 00:03:28,110 --> 00:03:35,310 every day we go to school to see lots of Western faces in the back of the classrooms. 29 00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:40,530 Thank you to you. Yes, thank you. So as we've been said, yes, you don't have all the time. 30 00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:46,500 And in the sense, socialism itself is too often sort of the western world. 31 00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:58,230 So Hollywood, you don't go down the hall. Your daughter, Shiva and Dora, since you always must be opposed so we can keep on when we share with you. 32 00:03:58,230 --> 00:04:05,070 So adults. So in 2011 and later, I moved from China to Japan and then to settle in New York. 33 00:04:05,070 --> 00:04:12,300 Along the way, many people were surprised and telling me that tai, you were even compared to the Japanese artist. 34 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:18,390 Japanese people, you are more westernised, and I guess the answer would be compared to the Japanese peers. 35 00:04:18,390 --> 00:04:24,720 I had earlier exposure to such kind of sort of Western style impact since 36 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,920 childhood and showing what it also uses a dream and says it has have to be me. 37 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:39,330 And so that's. As mentioned before, my teacher job at a Shanghai Theatre Academy. 38 00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:48,990 He studied abroad in his house at a in this case, at a rock academy in St. Petersburg. 39 00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:55,020 My question went up and since as a historian, you guys leave big audience starting young son. 40 00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:59,230 He was sleeping with that. And then that's what he tells us with these songs. 41 00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:06,990 What was in the beginning? So this painter Konstantin Maximoff, he won the styling award, 42 00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:19,200 which is one of the most distinguished price of painting in Soviet Union, but politically, he was not a very active character. 43 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:36,450 This was also the time what I did in the summer, and these are some of his works on my collection, which portrays the funeral of Lenin. 44 00:05:36,450 --> 00:05:43,810 So that is Tom Watson, Ken Burns, your wife. These are some of his other paintings before he came to China to teach in China. 45 00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:51,680 Does it have high payoff here he portrayed. My wife and his grandparents. 46 00:05:51,680 --> 00:06:03,590 Who was it? Answer yes or no. Then that would end up with 10000 more items, so it evens out with, you know, I was born in December 1957, 47 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:16,550 while Maxim of taught in China between three, fifty five and fifty seven, which meant we never really we didn't get to meet them. 48 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:23,790 Now some young B and I don't know. So he taught at a cafe the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. 49 00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:28,130 But I don't eat the northern city, and that's why I'm going to sell me all you want. 50 00:06:28,130 --> 00:06:31,880 But what will you watch young know? Hold on to my body. 51 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,850 She's young. She is and whole top of suicide. 2014-2020 Autumn. 52 00:06:37,850 --> 00:06:47,570 He brought in to China the whole system of painting and sketch, and the related teaching system from Soviet Union, 53 00:06:47,570 --> 00:06:55,680 and even including how a painter can create his own paint box. 54 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:04,080 Now that some solutions are going to go off on, he always try to demonstrate to his students how he paint from life. 55 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,620 So it depends on how that a. Here we go again. Don't tell me this is what you got to what you saw in the sense. 56 00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:18,240 At that time, he was already sort of a performance artist, action artist in front of his students. 57 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,960 So it's a way of teaching in some ways, by turns on board. 58 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:29,450 So you could, on your hubris, go why you want the chimney and then it's on the boss show boss, right? 59 00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:33,070 I was is on top of this. Yeah, you don't go to Kenya. 60 00:07:33,070 --> 00:07:36,030 You're entitled to be shot at all at the time. 61 00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:44,430 A selection of the best of the best painters in China selected from multiple universities were College of Fine Arts across China. 62 00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:58,050 They were selected to be his students. Roughly 20 or twenty four students were lucky enough to be his students died in jihadi competitions. 63 00:07:58,050 --> 00:08:08,570 So Maximoff brought these students to sketch and paint from life across China. 64 00:08:08,570 --> 00:08:15,860 So that's all the law constituting the picture on the left is what Maximoff painted from the 65 00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:24,170 apartment he was living to come down here and tell you how to know why it's not working. 66 00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:27,650 So it's rejected the notion of that title. 67 00:08:27,650 --> 00:08:37,610 So this is the these were painted after Maxim Maximum of his students did a study trip to a construction site and try to 68 00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:49,280 portray the very enthusiastic and lively saying of construction happen of development happening at a time in China back then. 69 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:58,100 Now that this is done, so that's on women's rights, we should tell them the men portrayed here is Mr. Olds Organ, 70 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:05,060 the president of the UN, the Chinese, the Chinese Artists Association. 71 00:09:05,060 --> 00:09:11,860 I think Santorum is on your watch and this is maxim of painting from life. 72 00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:16,730 Mr. Zordon carrying a paint box. No tie. 73 00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:24,410 You wanted the door to visit the wall. He also did lots of portraits of cheap Asian since I knew how to some cheese. 74 00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:34,730 She thought he boasted that I have on my collection roughly seven to eight of his portraits on sebaceous, so his a sizeable hoop and yen home. 75 00:09:34,730 --> 00:09:42,770 So the Museum of Taipei, she was very jealous of me, but not the Yankee fans in Szechuan. 76 00:09:42,770 --> 00:09:50,600 He also learnt from Tobiason to create traditional Chinese paintings that uses the language its own way to see that when you go, 77 00:09:50,600 --> 00:10:00,230 go from the highs of the objects and pencil pushing so hard in the end, he indeed believes that China has its own unique culture. 78 00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:10,280 So besides learning from the West, the Chinese painters painters should just explore deeper into the Chinese painting tradition. 79 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:17,000 So the Thai art opposition says he doesn't have a he doesn't want to be talking. These are the works by his students. 80 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:26,110 It doesn't have a bond with this sort of demonstrate the achievements of his painting class at Casa. 81 00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:33,140 Some watering down in general and the vice chairman in the higher military officials, 82 00:10:33,140 --> 00:10:41,790 very top leader in China back there, then received him give him a very enthusiastic reception. 83 00:10:41,790 --> 00:10:52,370 Now that's all good. We also hosted a solo exhibition of his to reveal his achievements. 84 00:10:52,370 --> 00:10:57,970 Now that with you, vote how you wanted to do the halving and so to see more of a new museum. 85 00:10:57,970 --> 00:11:04,540 So you had a sweetheart, you and you together. So as soon as you think of humans, you suddenly Sudan across the seas. 86 00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:09,700 I watch you wait until once back to the Soviet Union. 87 00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:17,380 These are the works you created after. If you went back to Soviet Union, you can sense a a change in his painterly style, 88 00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:22,700 which was influenced by Chinese watercolours and the landscape paintings. 89 00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:33,030 So you and has he made them the chairman of the president of the Association of Water Colours and Landscape Paintings in Russia? 90 00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:41,280 So it's using which you talked about that have some more works out he created after going back to Soviet Union. 91 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,870 The what he's going to say, his answers come to me as a white man going either the Thunder is the one you put out and when you die, 92 00:11:47,870 --> 00:11:56,780 that's all you've got to answer. I actually purchased this work from a museum of his art. 93 00:11:56,780 --> 00:12:00,740 To be honest, the museum didn't think this work really carried out. 94 00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:05,030 His work carries that much high value. 95 00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:18,170 That's since it has a swing by the courts, and this is a solo exhibition of his in Russia so that our Lord Jesus younger on his works, 96 00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:29,610 if when that were created when he was old, it's about Typekit before he passed away and this is his wife on the right. 97 00:12:29,610 --> 00:12:41,740 So that so so that you don't like someone who is mounting this one on one of his last paintings depicts a lonesome cat walking out of the window. 98 00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:51,810 That's just a shame, you know? Michael, themoment that's a new concept is the Indian my on what in the night the man died? 99 00:12:51,810 --> 00:13:01,360 It's almost the musicians. Attention to maximal achievements can still be seen today, evidently in the sense that his students and the students, 100 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:08,840 half the students are very active painters, sort of one of the best of the painters in China today. 101 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:15,190 So the father isn't just through the pandemic. This is one of the students in his class horizon. 102 00:13:15,190 --> 00:13:18,160 Some mornings with Joshua, which he has its own sign, 103 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:26,560 which later become became the former the president of the kofar and also the current chairman of the Chinese Artists Association. 104 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:33,850 Of course, you move the buttons on this old time father ends up without home at a time when when Mr Ding 105 00:13:33,850 --> 00:13:40,420 was maximal student and Maximoff did benefit things that he didn't handle his colour well. 106 00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:44,770 And now it's just a thought that he wishes. 107 00:13:44,770 --> 00:13:55,660 And this is a measure of student achievement and something which smacks of unspoken sort of highly of, yeah, he is Mr. Jones Yang. 108 00:13:55,660 --> 00:14:03,160 He's now the vice chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, also chairman of the China Oil Painting Society. 109 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:15,180 So it's on some nice, honestly, Michael, that we get to be the one on top with stand for his graduation from. 110 00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:23,110 Now, this is a shake-up, so news them and they always are gone is a student of Mr. 111 00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:29,880 And the previous segment, Penguin Nature. Let's take a closer look at your cell phones. 112 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:35,880 I tell your story and then I thought she thought your young daughter took a chance on what you can see. 113 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,320 He was influenced by the socialist realism that kind of style. 114 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:48,480 But additionally, he started to create his own system of painting, which is to paint and oil painting on clean air. 115 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,190 So it wasn't all that. Also what sorts of loneliness the question then? 116 00:14:53,190 --> 00:14:58,150 Or just do you have the only one? And that was whatever. I think things are so easy. 117 00:14:58,150 --> 00:15:02,910 Yeah. So when I was a curate and work as a curator for sort of an exhibition, 118 00:15:02,910 --> 00:15:13,710 I wouldn't have really include works of the Los Altos teacher while I indeed include try to include works by you without doing it as you've done, 119 00:15:13,710 --> 00:15:18,030 because he is truly a contemporary artist. 120 00:15:18,030 --> 00:15:28,500 So those are of one of his sheets, and for all these works, he carried a huge canvas on the side and to create a plumber on site. 121 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:34,080 Now do you have the most recent studio in good? And then Mr. toTELL Phase two student talks, Neil is out. 122 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,460 Don't say you is that it usually turns out it's also the time which isn't. 123 00:15:38,460 --> 00:15:46,590 So you can see this is a story of generations and there is the the the master teacher and then the student and the student students and the students, 124 00:15:46,590 --> 00:15:56,400 students, students. And so is the job and our thing. 125 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:06,660 So there you go. I will briefly. So these are the words I will give you more so than what you wow. 126 00:16:06,660 --> 00:16:16,950 So that's why it's important day is that every time I did an exhibition of my collection of maxim of I would place intentionally 127 00:16:16,950 --> 00:16:25,950 a flower in the very beginning of the exhibition and praising that he is really a master in Chinese art history of unions. 128 00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:30,330 On the whole. He didn't have a very splendid destiny. 129 00:16:30,330 --> 00:16:34,110 Its own. So always we your songs of what you want. 130 00:16:34,110 --> 00:16:43,650 Because then the Sino-Soviet relationship deteriorated drastically after he went back to Soviet Sunni and those pants on with a hands on with it, 131 00:16:43,650 --> 00:16:47,550 a 14 year old has his own smoke on the any. 132 00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:52,680 So at the time, Soviet Union started to criticise China as very against it. 133 00:16:52,680 --> 00:17:00,300 So once he, after teaching in China for a couple of years and once he went back to Soviet and he wasn't very, 134 00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:03,510 very well received back to his home country, 135 00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:11,970 someone I don't know what other and thought anxiety also has been because it's almost why people hope that it will also come the loss in Sicilian. 136 00:17:11,970 --> 00:17:14,010 And so, on the other hand, 137 00:17:14,010 --> 00:17:24,090 his students in China who already became the chairperson or to the president of certain high top tier of painting associations, 138 00:17:24,090 --> 00:17:32,220 while they very much admired their teacher Maximoff. But since then Sino Soviet relationship deteriorated deteriorated. 139 00:17:32,220 --> 00:17:38,580 They didn't dare to admire openly. Their teacher in China thought Yugo beating the cycle Vietnam. 140 00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:42,840 There is another tragedy anti-Palestinian vitezslav there. 141 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:52,530 But again, that's some work. I the UK on some of these which are both women people, they are part of this fog war make war, as you call it. 142 00:17:52,530 --> 00:18:03,270 Ha. But there are those in me and I'm think they'll go on to the also common condolence you on the east, which is the and the high you. 143 00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:12,930 When you cut down my throat. And then the other tragedy is in the late 70s and early 80s, 144 00:18:12,930 --> 00:18:17,630 when China experienced the opening up and more and more students painting students in China. 145 00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:23,490 I got your sense to other Western countries like them in the Europe in particular, 146 00:18:23,490 --> 00:18:29,430 and they got exposed, exposed to more so-called master western paintings. 147 00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:36,660 And they didn't think that the socialist realism, which the maximum of taught were not as good. 148 00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:44,790 So I don't know, of course, you know the humour that I don't like, but I never saw Tom Antiguo violent use whatsoever. 149 00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:52,350 I came to the use of that one show to show us what sorts of young talent and why you don't you it open. 150 00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:57,270 I see Google Shen. That is so one. It's a boy, sometimes in violence. 151 00:18:57,270 --> 00:19:05,310 Why are you so much? And so so when I had an exhibition held exhibitions of maximalist paintings in China, 152 00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:14,320 quite some of those painters in China, they were suspicious of my intention and suspecting that I was. 153 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:20,950 Making fun of his maximalist paintings, because while there are their immediate reaction is wild tire, 154 00:19:20,950 --> 00:19:28,420 you are a contemporary artist and then you are you probably are not very fond of the painting as a traditional medium. 155 00:19:28,420 --> 00:19:34,660 No, you both. That's all going to form, though. It's only on me yet. Todd Youkai this time came about as it was. 156 00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:39,910 Yeah, and that's what I want somebody, etc. for one of the exhibitions of his paintings that I did. 157 00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:44,890 I intentionally place it at a Central Academy of Fine Arts where he once taught, 158 00:19:44,890 --> 00:19:51,850 and to place his maximalist paintings inside of galleries, which once held other painters. 159 00:19:51,850 --> 00:19:56,800 The paintings no by utility on three continents, which it's in some yards. 160 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:03,340 When you can kind of do things that don't do what those are done terms with you exactly the loss and one. 161 00:20:03,340 --> 00:20:10,720 And Mr. Jingsheng and Tenzing, who were as you remembered them, there were two immediate students half maximal. 162 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:18,400 They sneaked into the galleries of this exhibition to see his and the works of their teacher, 163 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:25,410 and it was very touched to see all of them because he immediately recognised lots of paintings were created by his, 164 00:20:25,410 --> 00:20:31,840 his team, their teacher right next to them. Oh, I thought, Oh my God, don't be willing to hear what you yelchin come. 165 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:40,120 And so he put you in that way. And seeing that they were touched and happy to see the Earth, the paintings of Maximoff, 166 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:46,780 I invited them to to participate in a symposium surrounding the exhibition. 167 00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:51,400 And since you got into it all, I'd say you see them in March. 168 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,280 But your design? 169 00:20:54,280 --> 00:21:04,840 So a bit over 20 of these master painters in China, including Mr Gen-Z and Jean and Tim Shelley, they gathered together from cities across China. 170 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:10,060 This is also the first time the first the first one, 171 00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:16,540 the first time for them together together after the master class taught by maximalist 19th sensitive Daniel, 172 00:21:16,540 --> 00:21:22,040 which happened 30 or so years after the master class. 173 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:30,340 Your discipline. So now I will show you a short time ago at the time that now these are all on show after why 174 00:21:30,340 --> 00:21:36,870 you are showing want maximal paint boxes and how many if we are to some key or painting. 175 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:45,460 US because lots of these world and his family and the museum were not keen to keep them, so they just give them to me. 176 00:21:45,460 --> 00:21:52,930 I don't know where your cousins came at the moment. Of course, even though in the beginning I collected these at a very cheap price, 177 00:21:52,930 --> 00:22:03,400 but very soon they got expensive and beholden to home sold in China was at some point you once or it could suddenly nurse society to the ocean. 178 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:10,630 And that's on the nice of a party. Although the ocean circulation Panopto you shared with you, right? 179 00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:29,920 So here in the jungle, I thought, Well, could you had uterine lesions was a disease in the census and some woman suggested. 180 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:48,550 The one thing I thought you. Within the UK as a whole, it's again without it, we don't think we would models the party, George Yeah. 181 00:22:48,550 --> 00:22:52,790 Put down your peaceful I, your your sister. 182 00:22:52,790 --> 00:22:55,750 Those are the you we could win the game, 183 00:22:55,750 --> 00:23:07,480 you had to play for the greater good hunger and fear to assume because it's so easy to regulate the mail until you are now with almost the I even. 184 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:17,990 Why do you ponder the maximum potential to ensure that your love becomes all you are to you? 185 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:23,730 Well, I thought had gone through vanish a woman at the time doppelganger, did you? 186 00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:29,110 Well, mean you should continue to actually get what Charania make on. 187 00:23:29,110 --> 00:23:35,470 We don't make you that party amongst you. Called out for punters to eat you up. 188 00:23:35,470 --> 00:23:39,640 I walk since I and you're going to P-value. 189 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:45,830 My signal and I have an upcoming ministry. 190 00:23:45,830 --> 00:24:19,160 What have how do you don't want to move in top position, which is, you know, if you're going. 191 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:27,950 Now, military. In fact, in see there not. 192 00:24:27,950 --> 00:24:34,370 What is your look towards where you feel like you were? 193 00:24:34,370 --> 00:24:52,110 Now, mind you, if so, why New York, there was a new excuse for. 194 00:24:52,110 --> 00:25:03,330 But with the exhaustion, with the plea. 195 00:25:03,330 --> 00:25:10,170 That's the end of the new Nimoy's culture and attitudes are not because, you know, 196 00:25:10,170 --> 00:25:19,140 any kind of anti-business then than to the past and because that's what you do against that you can go to school. 197 00:25:19,140 --> 00:25:30,210 Oh gosh, I sure wish I want to put it all out there in the negative of the other guy in Mikado. 198 00:25:30,210 --> 00:25:31,980 How you do today, Gudrun. 199 00:25:31,980 --> 00:25:41,850 Gender means a dignified Yiddish converted hockey way took a shortcut to pop a whole new kind of water against and especially Bushra. 200 00:25:41,850 --> 00:25:51,110 So I know so to say I'm sorry, Sakuma you and hurt you. 201 00:25:51,110 --> 00:25:56,760 You know, I never ask you to pick up on if I need your help. 202 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,610 You can move back on famously. 203 00:26:01,610 --> 00:26:26,530 No, no. We are so stuck up over this to. So hold, I thought she found two go home, so mission should be shot. 204 00:26:26,530 --> 00:26:32,960 So later I helped me realise renovation of this grave. 205 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,220 Monumentality coming the night, a suggestion you wear. 206 00:26:38,220 --> 00:26:42,270 So I'm in the pool. Why not two minutes at all time Sunday morning? 207 00:26:42,270 --> 00:26:47,250 Yeah, we thought of humans and Indians wouldn't wait for a long time for them. 208 00:26:47,250 --> 00:26:52,860 Russian painting artist association than even then the local museums. 209 00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:57,840 None of them were sure where Maximoff was buried. 210 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,760 Now you can double what we zoom. You know my question? 211 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,680 Marvel, since I'm a Christian, so I have been asking myself why. 212 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,820 I hope to find Maximoff, don't Congo. 213 00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:20,500 My mission will know who it is with the outside. Since the so whether it's a census of whether it's billions, it's a mark. 214 00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:28,160 Engines are the inside. You know you go wrinkly. Yangjiang in the courtyard is adopting gender easel. 215 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,600 Then of the Yellow Hall in May 2007 and she walked you, I guess. 216 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,930 And the answer might be that through Maximoff, 217 00:27:36,930 --> 00:27:48,390 we get to see how an artist destiny and politics were interwoven closely related to each other and how the political change may 218 00:27:48,390 --> 00:27:57,150 drastically affect the destiny of an artist and how he got maybe quickly forgotten due to specific political reason and context. 219 00:27:57,150 --> 00:28:03,240 You can show that you can take some watch out, while on the other hand, 220 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:10,170 he might have had a profound influence on the whole generation and generations of painters in China. 221 00:28:10,170 --> 00:28:15,720 But just due to the special political change, he got easily forgotten in his own country. 222 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:21,360 Which is unquestionable. Yes, is that she's a woman so easily to be in Iowa. 223 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:25,860 What it's so in the sense looking for maximum faces, 224 00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:34,770 increasing the sense in pursuit of an artist destiny and ultimately to try to explore myself as an artist. 225 00:28:34,770 --> 00:28:39,750 Now I'm young, so you go and you it, you can dance. 226 00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:45,300 Yeah, I imagine so. Yeah, well, you young. By the way, you had both had this deal. 227 00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:49,860 Could you just take it for you? 228 00:28:49,860 --> 00:29:02,220 I know that's your business. I have a collection of roughly 270 seventy pieces of maximalist works of my collection that I truly hope. 229 00:29:02,220 --> 00:29:07,410 The study and research related to Maximoff and his works can be continued through 230 00:29:07,410 --> 00:29:13,420 various collaborations with colleges and universities in the world right now. 231 00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:21,120 To hope get that out to him. So, yeah, so we can get so much hung the buttons on the way. 232 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:32,580 And lastly, I have a small surprise for you something new and also as hopefully an ending to such a whole afternoon of speeches. 233 00:29:32,580 --> 00:30:21,540 Okay. Hopefully, this time the video will work. 234 00:30:21,540 --> 00:34:42,960 He. You. 235 00:34:42,960 --> 00:35:28,340 And you remember that in terms of, you know. 236 00:35:28,340 --> 00:35:36,500 You know, were you in a ball, I would say I'm quite shocked you would I never turn down in the Queensland? 237 00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:40,340 That's what reason you're not there once. So what do you mean? 238 00:35:40,340 --> 00:35:44,590 Well, I'm sorry, Genesis, you come down on Mars. Thank you. Without being woken up by. 239 00:35:44,590 --> 00:35:51,790 I saw it. I did order all that while then the security guards were always when no one from the museum really knew. 240 00:35:51,790 --> 00:35:57,970 Years later, I met the museum director and to share this fascinating anecdote by the director said, Well, it's how you know. 241 00:35:57,970 --> 00:36:02,150 I knew it immediately because my my, my staff side from the surveillance. 242 00:36:02,150 --> 00:36:06,430 So we talk about partiality. 243 00:36:06,430 --> 00:36:16,420 Oh, then it went on for a long time. We have no findings on this, and then we'll go to you about something. 244 00:36:16,420 --> 00:36:22,330 So the guard asked a director, So what? What do we do? And the director said, Well, I'll probably just let him swim. 245 00:36:22,330 --> 00:36:30,400 And then the guard said, Well, yeah, OK, sings them. The Eric A-C was very strong, so the what the ordering the pack must be called. 246 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,190 I doubt he will stay long and say, Well, that's only I can change ideas. 247 00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:39,310 So I thought that means someone who sits on how you and you with your, 248 00:36:39,310 --> 00:36:44,180 how you handle tensions on the higher and what sort of a job is it just who was without income? 249 00:36:44,180 --> 00:36:49,750 It's I don't know, I mean, sort of ethos and it's done tidy up at one go. 250 00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:54,460 So I hear a hope to express my gratitude all these years. 251 00:36:54,460 --> 00:36:59,080 It's because of these, all of those museums and there are the directors, the curators, 252 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:05,280 and there are whole staff and all the supporters and then the donors who make those projects possible. 253 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,330 It was it's only because of their support that allowed me to go this far. 254 00:37:10,330 --> 00:37:23,980 They still operate on me. So so what went down in allowing me to be able to make art history and art museums as my medium sedan me gotten higher? 255 00:37:23,980 --> 00:37:32,590 So today here, of course. Thank you again. Thank the Ashmolean museum and the whole team and the curator, Sheila in particular. 256 00:37:32,590 --> 00:37:55,776 This is your backyard and thank everyone.
