Falsification method of calligraphy and painting appraisal

In the investment field, antique calligraphy and painting has become a fashion for elegant investors. Generally, people who are new to this field are willing to take painting as their investment point first. They believe that calligraphy and painting are hot in the art market at home and abroad, and the market is prosperous, with low risk, rapid appreciation, great income and enduring collection value. It is the most ideal collection with investment return. But with more and more investors, the price of calligraphy and painting is getting higher and higher, especially the high price of famous works, which drives some greedy people to make fake calligraphy and painting by hook or by crook. Then, here are some of the most common forgery methods to achieve the purpose of distinguishing authenticity. 1. Sketch, color, ink filling and forgery. Draw a double hook on the outline of the line with paper or a pointed pencil. If yes, ink is filled in the hollow part; If painting, imitate coloring according to the outline of the line on the original. At first glance, this kind of fake works are similar, but if you look closely, you will find that the whole work is dull, dull and lackluster. Although some forgeries are drawn first, they are afraid of being written, which will inevitably have a lasting appeal. As long as you look closely, you can see the flaw. This technique is mainly to forge celebrity inscriptions and famous calligraphy. Such forgeries are common in cursive scripts such as "Man Jiang Hong", banners of Ming people, and calligraphy works of Hehe in Qing Dynasty.

2. Disguised counterfeiters use broken calligraphy and painting to turn works without money into rich works, modern works into ancient works, and ordinary works into famous works by various means such as digging, washing, adding and modifying, which deceives many investors with little skills and knowledge, and even people in the industry will inevitably fall into the trap. Almost every work in the book has a title, but the signature of the author's title changes according to his different circumstances and moods. The word "wide" has always been the place where counterfeiters have made the greatest efforts. So far, you can see the calligraphy and painting of the Northern Song Dynasty. The inscriptions on these paintings are in different positions and the words are very small. Some painters in the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy wrote money, some did not write money, and some simply wrote their names when they wrote money. Most of the college paintings in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties have no poems, but only write the year, month, day and name, and only write one line, rarely two lines. The era of courtyard painting in Ming dynasty is so close to us, but few paintings have been handed down. Because there are few styles of college sports paintings in Ming Dynasty, it is easy for people to dig out and take the works of Song people, so there are not many college sports paintings handed down from generation to generation. Money laundering is one of the ways to falsify titles. The so-called washing is to wash away the words of the original author, without cutting, digging or mending. This kind of fraud is rare, because calligraphers used to pay attention to wrist strength, and books often penetrated the back of the paper and went straight to the subject. In other words, the pen is heavy and the strokes are solid, and the ink seeps through the back of the paper. In that case, how can the words be washed out? Don't you wash the paper? Of course, this kind of work can't be washed away. The washed works are not made of ordinary paper, but Tibetan scripture paper. Adding fake money is another form of fraud. When we do calligraphy works, we must first look at whether the styles of money and words are consistent. Calligraphers are very skilled at writing. After writing the text, the signature is written naturally, and the fake style is different from the text of the previous book. There is another kind of forgery that deserves attention. In the past, some painters and painters took care of other people's works for their own study. At the end of the article, even the original author's inscriptions were truthfully submitted, and in the end they all left their own money. Digging for money is also one of the common methods to forge headlines. Although there are many ways to forge calligraphy and painting questions, some of them are even very hidden, but there are always loopholes to be found. If we master the law of fraud and examine it carefully in practice, we can identify it.

3. Imitation style characteristics A painter's brushwork habits formed over the years, no matter how the theme of his works changes, can always see his brushwork trajectory and style characteristics. Forgers often deliberately exaggerate some habitual characteristics of the original author, even if they are shortcomings, they try their best to render them. Their intention is to make people suddenly see them, but it will have a direct effect. There are many famous painters with distinctive styles and outstanding characteristics. Many experienced calligraphers show off their eyesight and know whose work it is without looking at the inscription. Forgers seize the frivolous psychology of these people, imitate the original characteristics, confuse the real with the fake, and let some proud and careless investors be deceived.
