Qi Baixo

Qi Baixo (1860-1957) - Chinese painter. The intensity of the creative work of the great Chinese painter Qi Baixo compared to Van Gogh. Van Gogh ten years of serious study painting created more than 800 paintings and more pictures. Qi Baixo, who did more than seventy years, has left several thousand people to their works. He was not only surprisingly subtle, capable of transmitting all the wealth of tonal transitions artist, but also a philosopher, poet, teacher. While painting, he likened himself to plants and believed that only drain meyhua able to understand it through. The artist, he said, "Orchid is awash in water, washes her hair scent of flowers."

Qi Baixo born November 22, 1860 in a very poor Chinese family. My grandfather and father to feed children, gathering firewood for sale. Xiangtan County, in which the future artist was born, was extremely picturesque.
For seventy years, Qi Baixo written about this time, such poetic lines:

    In my poor little village, I began to learn very late.
    And not studied seriously until 27 years.
    It was just the trouble - not even oil for lamps.
    I lit a pine splinter and recited Tang poets.

Qi Bai Shi-prisvrena was also the Nobel Peace Prize

Rosiiya, compared with Western European countries, is in a better position: since the founding of the PRC and to the so-called "cultural revolution" (where the tomb of Qi Baixo bulldozers razed to the ground) to us regularly receiving printed matter printing Zhunbaochzhay that specialized in facsimile, saying, modern language, playing works of Chinese graphs. Images of the great master played it so well in the technique of color woodcuts that he sometimes he could not tell where the original, and where the engraving. These prints came to us together with the Chinese book production. Now they occasionally pop up on the market, sometimes disguised as the original drawings (misleading virtuoso technique playback). During the life of Chi Baixo his original works valued its weight in gold. After the defeat of printing Zhunbaochzhay Issue engravings stopped. Now again that something is being done in this direction, but that's another era.

About engravings Qi Baixo
 

The album, which we - woodcuts water paint, so paint and greasy. Engravings
the wooden forms, and between the paper and form laid silk, therefore became possible "streamers" (ie, the gradations of color within the spot). Masters very carefully cut boards, and printed them some kind of teenage girl, sadly standing of the printing press and mechanically spreading board and splashing engravings (transferred from eyewitness). Some information about the post-war Chinese woodcut is in the magazine "China" for 1950.

In this case, the quality of prints and the very design of the album speaks of a highly professional performance from start to think that kontsa.Ne, master-producing woodcuts, starting the process with great care, finished b. his "anointing and splashing" sheets of prints.
