Katsuko Sakai has been to the Taylor Art Museum, and she remembers that the former nameplate of the Impressionist-themed exhibition hall was engraved with a slogan with a dark sense of humor.

"Be careful, this garbage is a denial of beauty and truth, and can only give people a crude impression."

The signature should be An idiot reporter.

This is when Impressionism was just born, a mainstream art journalist attacked Monet's own painting style for his strange and eccentric paintings.

The word "Impression" in Impressionism comes from the title of this news.

Katsuko Sakai was deeply impressed, and she even took a photo with this slogan.

but,

Now the tourist check-in card has been replaced, and it has been replaced by a brand-new nameplate in the photo.

"We don't depict gods, we only record sunshine and air. We don't follow dogma, because beautiful things will remain, but pain will eventually pass away - Detective Cat"

"Director Tonks was not just joking. He really changed the check-in nameplate of the Taylor Art Museum."

Sakai Katsuko looked at the photo below, her eyes showing longing.

"Ms. Detective Cat is in a sense collected by the Taylor Art Museum, which is one of the largest private art museums in the world."

As a painter, one of the highest pursuits is to have his name in an art museum and be treasured by people.

This means that you have successfully defeated death and time and left your name in the history of art.

A few letters of initials in the art museum are the highest honor for a painter in his life.

Even in this form, being able to leave your mark before millions of tourists is something to be proud of.

Many of the more than 100,000 fans of Curator Tonks' Twitter retweeted the news, including even famous professional painters.

Katsuko Sakai clicked on a few tweets and looked at them before preparing to exit.

etc,

Her hand suddenly paused for a moment, her eyes fixed on a certain retweeted message, and she stopped moving.

"Congratulations to Ms. Detective Cat for leaving her name in the Taylor National Gallery of Art. She deserves it. She is indeed a very capable illustrator. Are you interested in cooperating with us? There is a very interesting project in the group and the art department has already contacted us.

Your email is in, please check it. @detectivecat"——Scholastic Publishing Group.

"Scholastic? The Scholastic Group actually interacted with Detective Cat!"

Sakai Katsuko was very surprised.

"What is Scholastic? Is there anything surprising about it?"

Gu Weijing looked at this tweet.

"Scholastic is the second largest publishing group in North America and the sixth largest in the world. It is almost the only giant in the field of children's literature."

Sakai Katsuko slowly exhaled.

She clicked on the account of Scholastic Publishing Group and took a look at the homepage introduction to confirm that this was the official recommendation of Scholastic and not a prank with a fake account.

"Such a publishing group should cooperate with countless illustrators every year."

Gu Weijing was not too excited.

Mr. Hyperion's video has just been released, especially since he was just selected as a two-and-a-half-star illustrator by "Oil Painting" magazine and has the most traffic.

Among the highest-value art commissions, in addition to movie posters, there are also cooperation invitations from several publishing houses.

However, at that time, he felt that he did not have the ability to complete these orders, so he declined them all.

After he was removed from "Oil Painting", these orders basically disappeared.

"You haven't understood yet, this is not a concept at all."

Sakai Katsuko shook her head and explained: "Because Scholastic is the leader in the publishing industry, it rarely cooperates with outside illustrators. Its art department has an art team of nearly a thousand professional painters. This size is

It’s dozens to a hundred times that of a typical large-scale illustration studio.”

"Generally, only a very small number of top projects will cooperate with outside illustrators. Being invited by such a project is almost equivalent to recognizing you as a first-class illustrator in the eyes of Scholastic. This is

A golden opportunity that any illustrator dreams of getting."

"So powerful?"

Gu Weijing was also a little surprised.

"Yes, you will understand if you look at the artist records that can interact with Scholastic Group's official Twitter."

Katsuko Sakai pulled Scholastic's Twitter record to the historical message column, entered the word illustrator, and showed it to Gu Weijing.

"The next two messages are the messages commemorating the co-artists published on the anniversary of Andy Warhol's death in February, and the tenth anniversary of the "Miracle of Oz" series of illustrations drawn by Jane Arnold for Scholastic. This kind of

The official accounts of large publishing groups are quite aloof, and it is not easy for even ordinary first-line artists to interact with them using their official accounts."

Sakai Katsuko was confused.

Faced with this kind of invitation, if the detective cat can behave well.

In a sense, this is a better opportunity for an illustrator to become famous than being selected as a two-and-a-half-star artist by Oil Painting magazine.

only……

Although this program is indeed exciting, it is a bit exaggerated to have attracted the attention of a giant like Scholastic just half a day after it was launched.

Could it be because of Curator Tonks?

Or does the detective cat have some incredible connections in the art circle?
