Since ancient times, excellent paintings and calligraphy works have been compared to "soft gold", which shows that as long as you have a unique vision, you can collect excellent paintings and calligraphy works, which is a very good investment method. The significance of painting and calligraphy collection can be fully felt by constantly refreshing the auction records from the paintings and calligraphy works taken by major auction houses in recent years.
So, how to quickly identify whether a painting and calligraphy work is a printed matter?
I will talk about this problem with my years of experience for your reference, mainly from two aspects to identify.
First, look at the overall charm, color and details of the work. If you find something wrong, you must be careful when collecting it.
Whether it is calligraphy or Chinese painting, it will present vivid charm on the whole, and the charm of excellent calligraphy and painting works is more obvious.
Charm is a comprehensive presentation of calligraphers and painters in pen habits, composition methods and work styles through long-term exploration of calligraphy and painting art and the nourishment of personal cultural literacy.
Excellent calligrapher and painter, vivid brushwork, mainly reflected in the flexible brushwork, skillful use of ink color, just right. The dry and wet shades in the picture look very harmonious, and the work looks very textured, which can vividly show the charm of the object, make it flow like running water, and give the work a fresh breath of life.
After all, the printed paintings and calligraphy works are all made by machines. In addition, ordinary printers print in four colors, and some high-end inkjet printers can print in eight or twelve colors. However, whether it is a printing machine or a high-end inkjet printer, there are certain defects in the reduction degree of "primary colors" of calligraphy and painting works.
When printing calligraphy and painting works, the original works are first photographed with a camera, and then the pictures are adjusted, typeset and printed. Even if every job is done carefully, some colors will still be distorted after printing, which is different from the original colors.
When printing with an inkjet printer, the original paintings and calligraphy works are first photographed or scanned in the same proportion, then the graphic adjusters adjust the plate making, and finally printed on special paper. Although ink-jet printing is much better than printing in many details, there are still some differences in details and colors.
The reproduction of calligraphy and painting produced by printing and inkjet printing is different from the original. The difference is that Mo Yun's sense of hierarchy is not clear, and the shade of pen and ink is unnatural in the transition. It looks stiff, and the color is more or less distorted or even blurred.
Therefore, as long as you carefully compare the original and the copy, you can still find the difference. If you are uncomfortable with your eyes, you can observe with a magnifying glass.
Of course, the premise is that you have a good understanding of your favorite painter's style and a high knowledge of calligraphy and painting to do it.
Second, it is easier to see the difference between the original and the printed matter when the painting and calligraphy works are reversed and observed from the back.
Excellent calligraphers and painters, after decades of tempering, have achieved perfection in their skills. They are skilled in the control of wrist strength, finger strength and pen strength, and they can be comfortable in their priorities. Light ones, such as goose feathers, float on the water, while heavy ones pass through the back of the paper.
If it is printed matter, it is difficult to see the feeling of penetrating the back of the paper from the back. All pens and inks look and feel the same strength. The only difference is that ink and color are different in depth, regardless of depth, just like floating on paper, you can't see the texture and strength of ink and color embedded in paper.
