Dry paint technology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dry varnish technique ( Chinese  夾 紵  /  夹 纻 , Pinyin jiazhu , also 夾 紓  /  夹 纾 , jiashu or 挟 纻 , called xiezhu ; Japanese 夾 紵 , kyōcho or as a more common technical term: 乾 漆 , kanshitsu , dt. "Dry varnish"; English dry-lacquer ) describes a method for modeling sculptures, the dry-lacquer figures.

First a clay sculpture is made as a model ( Chinese  胎 , Pinyin tai ) (they are also made with wooden models or cores, Japanese mokushin kanshitsu ( 木 心 乾 漆 )), then this is made on the outside with linen coated with lacquer ( mabu ) pasted. You wait until the paint has dried. It is then painted several times with varnish. At the end you pull out the clay model, which is why the result is also called "empty statue" ( Chinese  脱 空 像 , Pinyin tuokongxiang ). A statue modeled in this way is not only very soft and lifelike, but also light.

Wang Renyu ( 王仁裕 ; 880–956) writes in his conversations in the Jade Hall ( 玉堂 闲话 , Yutang xianhua ) cited in Taiping guangji :

「曾 游 洪州 信 果 观 ， 见 三 宫殿 内 功德 塑像 ， 是 玄宗 时 夹 纾 ， 制作 甚 妙。」

"I visited the (Daoist temple) Xinguoguan in Hongzhou (today Nanchang , Jiangxi Province ), there I saw the statues of deserving and virtuous people from the Xuanzong (a Tang emperor) in the Sanguan Hall (three officials / rulers hall ) -Time made according to the jiashu method, it was very fine work. "

A statue of Huineng ( 慧能 ) made using the dry paint process is located in Nanhua Temple in Shaoguan , Guangdong Province . After the death of Jianzhen (or Ganjin; 688–763) in Japan , students made such a statue of him. Many kanshitsu are among the sculptures on the Japanese monument list . In the monastery of the White Horses ( Chinese  白马 寺 , Pinyin Báimǎ Sì ) in Luoyang in the Chinese province of Henan there are sculptures from the time of the Mongol dynasty .
