The Way

Traditional Chinese art was tied closely to the ruling elites of imperial China and therefore presented a particular challenge to the new communist regime seeking to establish a new proletarian culture in the 1950s. This chapter throws light on the way established traditional painters and artists were managed and their art reshaped through the application of principles set down in the Yan’an Talks and a deliberate “modernization” of traditional Chinese painting. It argues that in the case of guohua the tension between old forms and new content was not just resolved but led to invigoration and innovation in the field and produced some of the greatest public artworks of the Maoist period

Traditional Chinese Painting

Xu Beihong was a key figure in modern Chinese art who used his Western academic training to remake Chinese art in the 20th century. He began his career in Shanghai as an illustrator and commercial painter. After briefly studying in Japan, he took another opportunity to study in France in 1919 at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts under Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret (1852–1929). He was an avid defender of French academic style and an opponent of European modernism in the modernization of Chinese art; for this he was sometimes criticized for obstructing artistic progress in China. Returning to China, he served as the head of various university art departments and academies. As one of the first Chinese artists to achieve international fame, he met with many renowned cultural figures, including Rabindranath Tagore, in the interest of creating a unified Asian style of modernism. Addressing the social and political needs of modern Chinese art, his monumental works combined French academic composition and the aesthetics of Realism with traditional Chinese painting techniques and subjects. He is mostly known today for his later monochromatic paintings of horses, done with precisely controlled Chinese brushwork, yet at the same time able to convey a sense of expressive dynamic movement.

Traditional Chinese Painting

With the development of digital reproduce technology for traditional Chinese painting, the current demand for high quality “digital xuan paper” and the requirements for its quality is increasing. Handmade xuan paper as the most basic and important material in traditional Chinese painting works, its unique brush pattern and click texture is not available in the “digital xuan paper” dedicated to the digital copy. Therefore, in the reproduction process for traditional Chinese painting, in addition to the rigorous reproduce process, the most important condition to obtain high-fidelity replication products is choosing a type of paper that meet the characteristics of traditional Chinese painting. Based on the digital inkjet technology in this paper, handmade xuan paper chose as the object was modified to obtain the technical requirements of digital reproduce by surface sizing process. Through the study process of different composition sizing agent and different sizing technology, find not only the Influence law of sizing technology and formula on tone level, clarity and color aspects of handmade xuan paper, but also the sizing technology and formula required for modifying handmade xuan paper to comply with part of Index in digital inkjet reproduce process. Through this thesis can provide a reference for handmade xuan paper in the field of digital reproduce technology.
