Chapter 1532 Restored Silk
The two joked a few times at the door and then walked into the studio.
When he saw the landscape painting on the wall, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh angrily. Old Man Xu was really unreasonable.
Xu Bangda introduced it to Zhou Zhi seriously: "You are very familiar with Tang Yin's landscape, so I don't need to introduce it further. The content of this landscape painting is a small scene, but it outlines the picture from a near to far perspective. The overall layout of the painting is clear and unrestrained. The dead wood branches bend from left to right and stretch in different directions. They are vigorous and straight. Two figures can be clearly seen in the middle of the picture. The chatting and exchanges in the hut are real and full of imagination, and the clouds lingering outside the mountains in the distance add to the refreshing atmosphere of tranquility and tranquility after the rain. It is a rare work of Tang Yin's mature period. "
" Why didn't you tell me the size?" Zhou Zhi glanced at the wall again: "This is a small painting. The core is at most half a meter long and thirty centimeters wide."
After saying that, he patted the painting silk in his hand: "I brought such a big roll here, I thought it was an extraordinarily large painting!"
"Hehehehe..." Xu Bangda laughed. Very proud: "You didn't ask, just look at the paintings..."
Looking at the paintings is like a doctor looking at people. Zhou Zhi knew that this test was indispensable, so he made a diagnosis directly: "Due to the aging of the silk painting core, the condition of this painting is really worrying - the whole painting is yellowed, and the painting has creases and holes. Seriously, from top to bottom, there are seven creases that run through the entire core of the painting, and the rest of the small creases, these, and these "There are countless holes, large and small, most of which are caused by corrosion after being eaten by insects. They are irregular and cover the entire painting core."
“The most serious thing is the damage caused by these cracks and deletions to the painting - the branches in the core part are seriously damaged, and the branches above are severely damaged. The mist of smoke and water in the distant view is also very incomplete in the painting. The handwriting on the upper right, which reflects the artist's calligraphy skills, is also incomplete to varying degrees. The important part that can best prove the authenticity of the painting is the signature, as well as the seal below the signature. And the seal in the lower left corner is also seriously damaged, wait..."
Xu Bangda was very satisfied with Zhou Zhi's diagnostic skills. Although this small painting had been carefully cleaned, sterilized and dusted, initially removed from glue and acid, and then mounted on the wall, it was far easier to diagnose than to see it in its original state, but Zhou Zhi I only watched it for less than a minute, almost just a glance, and I was able to tell the same story, which is already a very powerful level.
Now that Zhou Zhi had discovered more than that, he immediately asked: "What else can you see?"
Through careful observation of the painting core, Zhou Zhi picked up the commonly used framers. The bamboo sticks drew circles in several places in the center of the painting: "Here, and here, there are several silk The longitude and latitude lines are not consistent with the direction of the painting. This painting has been restored and reframed before, but...even the inlay directions are wrong in some places."
A few young people in the studio. The staff were ready to applaud, but saw that Xu Bangda had not spoken yet, so they had to hold back.
Xu Bangda's silence indicates that he still needs Zhou Zhi to continue to perform, so Zhou Zhi checked the heart of the painting more carefully and became more confident: "This Tang Yin landscape painting, the original mounting style is a lens , the painting core is severely worn, and the entire painting core is covered with insect infestations and large and small holes. ”
"Through careful observation, we can find that this cultural relic was originally restored and framed, and a whole piece of old silk was used as a patch to support the core of the painting."
"The reason why I chose this old silk To repair it, it is probably because the silk of the longitude and latitude lines is different, but it is closer to the coating, gloss and smell of the painting core, and the color The color is slightly lighter than the original painting core, which is very suitable for the full-color process. "This is probably the reason why the framer at that time chose this old silk for repair. However, the old silk itself is also somewhat damaged. The lining silk of a not so precious ancient painting, and this lining silk itself has gone through one, two...no, three, three major later additions. , indicating that the old patchwork silk itself is also defective. "
"The longitude and latitude lines of the patchwork silk are not consistent with the longitude and latitude lines of the old silk and the painting core. When part of the back-filling silk coincides with the missing part of the center of the painting, what we are discovering now will happen. Some places in the repaired part are inconsistent with the longitude and latitude. ”
“It is precisely because of these differences between the old repair silk used in the restoration and the silk of the original painting core that the surface of the repaired painting core may not have been used for a long time before appearing in many places. The phenomenon of hollowing, partial damage to the core of the painting, and forced overlapping in order to bridge the meaning of the painting.”
"In the final repaired painting, cracks formed in these places, which in turn tore the core of the painting, causing more serious secondary damage."
Except for Xu Bangda, the rest of the staff could no longer bear it. , everyone applauded. These questions were raised when Xu Bangda led his team to discuss the picture scroll. The diagnosis was confirmed only after long-term and careful analysis. Although the ancient paintings at that time had not been cleaned and framed, the diagnosis work was much more difficult than Zhou Zhi's now, but Zhou Zhi was able to complete all these details in such a short period of time. Once discovered, it can be said that the level is not far from that of Xu Bangda.
"Hahaha..." Xu Bangda really felt that he had a successor in this industry, and said to the excited staff around him: "Did you see it? Who said that other people can't see it except me? As long as I work on weekdays, A master who has perfect kung fu and is spot-on is a vivid example right before his eyes.”
“So don’t complain. Why do I demand too much from you and supervise you too strictly? As long as you reach the level of elbows, I will go to the park to make tea and chat every day. Who cares if I ask you to supervise me and make people hate you? "
Xu Bangda is also very talkative and has a soft heart. It seems that the students have figured out his temper. After hearing what he said, gentle laughter echoed in the studio.
However, no one took these words seriously. Although Zhou Zhi was young, in the small circle of Rongbaozhai Restoration Room, he was originally a teacher, so no one thought about comparing with him.
After all, Zhou Zhi’s instructional video on how to ignite lead and the video showing the southern craftsmanship skills last time are still materials for everyone to study seriously, and the two books "Decoration Chronicles" and "Appreciating Yan Su Xin Lu" This manuscript introducing ancient mounting techniques is now a must-read material, so age does not affect everyone's impression of him at all.
Connoisseurs can tell if there are any at once and diagnose Tang Yin's landscape painting. Although the eyesight is very sharp, it is almost a normal display of thoughtfulness.
"Teacher Xiao Zhou," a staff member handed over a book of information and said eagerly: "How about you help us take a look at our repair plan this time?"
Meet Zhou Zhi looked at Xu Bangda with a little embarrassment and did not take the information. The staff member quickly added: "Teacher Xu guided us in cleaning and uncovering the core in the early stage, and then stopped, but time cannot wait, so we made preparations ourselves first. A repair plan was drawn up ”
