Let's first introduce the popular methods of painting and calligraphy preservation.
1. Don't fold and pile up calligraphy and painting works that are not mounted for the time being, otherwise they will break from the folding place or leave black creases at the folding place, which will affect the beauty after mounting. If you want to enjoy it temporarily, you must not nail it to the wall or stick it to the wall with paste, otherwise it will directly damage the painting and calligraphy works. The correct way to preserve paintings and calligraphy works is to line them with a layer of thin Xuan paper or leather paper with the same width, roll them on a paper roll, wrap them with white paper or plastic film and put them in a picture box or bookcase.

2. After painting and calligraphy are mounted, they should be properly preserved. When stored in one place, we should first consider moisture-proof, moth-proof, rat-proof, mildew-proof and pollution-proof. You can put each painting and calligraphy in a plastic bag or cloth bag, or you can wrap it in white paper. Store it flat, never stand upright, and don't put heavy objects on it to put pressure on calligraphy and painting. If possible, a picture frame can be prepared according to the specifications of calligraphy and painting, and some camphor and moisture absorbent can be put in the frame. When the painting hangs on the wall for a period of time, you can gently sweep the dust off the painting with a feather duster. Avoid light, because calligraphy and painting generally take paper, silk and so on. As a carrier, the ultraviolet rays in the sun will make the fibers of paper and silk deteriorate, yellow, fade and become brittle, which will cause damage to calligraphy and painting, thus shortening the life of calligraphy and painting. Therefore, calligraphy and painting should be stored in a dark, cool, dry and clean place.
Painting or calligraphy album
Before dust removal and calligraphy and painting collection, it is best to dust off the surface of calligraphy and painting to prevent dust from being involved in calligraphy and painting, and also to prevent the shaft head from being moldy, polluted and moth-eaten. We should pay special attention to silk calligraphy and painting. Dust falls in the seam of silk, so it must be removed patiently, otherwise the life of calligraphy and painting will be shortened when it meets the tide. In addition, the eggs hidden in the dust will become adults when the temperature and humidity are suitable, and they will eat calligraphy and painting later. Therefore, calligraphy and painting should not be hung for several years, because the process of hanging is the process of slowly weathering, deterioration, fading and damage.
Moisture-proof: first, choose a wall that is not wet, avoid places with water vapor indoors, and prevent the usual moisture from attaching to calligraphy and painting; Second, before the rainy season comes, bare calligraphy and painting should be temporarily collected. After the rainy season, choose sunny and dry weather in time to spread or hang the calligraphy and painting one by one to dispel the moisture in the ventilation.
vitality
Sealed collection of calligraphy and painting, it is best to wrap the calligraphy and painting in kraft paper and put it in a box or cabinet with good sealing performance. At the same time, put insect repellent items such as camphor blocks in the corner of the box to prevent insects from eating. If you put clay paper with good water absorption, you can keep the safety of calligraphy and painting and prolong its life.
3. Calligraphy and painting mounting pieces should not be rolled too tightly or too loosely when stored, nor can they be rolled back. If it is rolled too tightly, it will leave an indentation in the seam between the painting center and the scrap on both sides of the head of heaven and earth, which will affect the beauty of calligraphy and painting, and may also lead to the deformation or fall off of the mounted piece; If the volume is too loose, it is easy to damage the painting and calligraphy; On the other hand, calligraphy and painting will have creases, especially ancient calligraphy and painting.
4. Be careful when hanging and displaying paintings and calligraphy. When hanging paintings and calligraphy, you should hold the painting rope with one hand and the unexpanded part of the painting and calligraphy with the other, then slowly loosen the hanging paintings and calligraphy and take off the painting pin. When painting and calligraphy are displayed, one person pulls the painting rope, and the other person holds the shaft head to unfold the painting and calligraphy. Don't hold the middle part of the painting and calligraphy with both hands up, or the five fingers of your hand will wrinkle the painting and calligraphy. For paintings and calligraphy works without axes, hold them with two fingers when they are displayed, and let the painting pass through them. In addition, it should be noted that calligraphy and painting should not be hung for a long time, and should be rolled up and collected for a period of time after hanging for a period of time; Long-standing paintings and calligraphy should be hung out regularly for ventilation.
Pay more attention to the display of hand scrolls and picture albums, because the mounting of hand scrolls and picture albums is more complicated than other paintings and calligraphy. When the hand roll is displayed, it should be placed on a flat desk or table. Pay attention to the fact that there can be no water stains or dirt on the desk or desktop. When the hand roll is unfolded, it should not be stretched too long, and it should be rolled and unfolded. It's best not to turn the pages of the album with your fingers, but to insert a smooth and burr-free bamboo strip between the pages of the album to turn the pages. Album pages are generally thick. When you start turning pages or turn to the last few pages, there will be uneven book thickness on both sides, and there will be a gap between the two pages. At this time, if you don't pay attention to the suspension in the middle of the format, it is easy to cause damage.
6. It is more prudent to keep the damaged old paintings and calligraphy. If it can't be repaired temporarily, don't show it at will, so as not to damage the painting and calligraphy again. If it is a broken painting and calligraphy, it is necessary to prevent the scattered fragments from being lost, so as not to bring difficulties to future repair. Whether it is old or new, as long as the original frame can still be hung and the painting heart is not damaged, generally do not rush to uncover and repair, because once uncovered, it will damage the paper elements of the painting and calligraphy at one time. If the original painting falls off or the painting heart is seriously damaged, it should be uncovered and repaired in time.
Tip: It is very important to remove stains from paintings and calligraphy. A good painting and calligraphy work is often greatly discounted because of a little mildew and oil stains. So how should we remove these stains?
Mould: Mould spots appear in calligraphy and painting works due to humidity. You can directly wipe the mildew spots with absorbent cotton balls dipped in alcohol until they are removed.
Oil stain: When oil stain is found in calligraphy and painting works, you can first put absorbent paper on the oil stain on the calligraphy and painting, and then iron it a few times to remove the oil stain.
Ink: first put a layer of absorbent paper under the dirty place, then soak the dirty place with 20% hydrogen peroxide, put some absorbent paper on the dirty place and press a heavy object. Absorbent paper is stained with ink and can be picked up. If the effect is not good once, you can repeat it several times.
Finger stains: When viewing paintings and calligraphy works, the stains on fingers are easily left on the paper and cloth mounted on the back. You can dip the soft cloth in soap, gently wipe the stain, and then dry it with absorbent paper.
Mosquito and fly stains: After painting and calligraphy works are stained with mosquitoes and flies, you can gently wipe the stains with fingerless cotton balls dipped in vinegar or alcohol until they are clean.
Chinese painting
Some people think that Fu Xi's divination and Cang Xie's handwriting are the first examples of calligraphy and painting. There is no difference between writing and painting from the beginning, so there is a saying that calligraphy and painting are homologous. The maintenance of Chinese painting is very important for exerting its artistic value.
Chinese painting
First, Chinese painting can't be hung on wet and greasy walls.
Second, the exhibition books must be placed on the console table, which should be clean, dusted and cleaned. When reading, you should put the words such as tapestry on the Baotou smoothly, and then roll with your thumb inside and four fingers outside. Don't touch the picture with two fingers to prevent the unexpanded part of the tail from falling to the ground. When winding, adjust the inclination with both hands at any time. After winding, hold the outer pole with one hand, put the hand roll vertically on the case, and press the edge with one hand to tightly wind the picture.

Third, the album, open the face, insert four fingers into the folds on the back of the two pages, and lift it slowly. Avoid touching the front of the drawing page. If it is a loose page, you should open it page by page and read it in order. You can't just take it out. Fourth, hanging Chinese painting first pays attention to the firmness of hanging nails. The hanging method of Chinese painting is very particular. Hold the painting fork in the right hand, hook the center of the calligraphy and painting belt, and hold the middle part of the painting in the left hand, with the big and little fingers inside and the middle finger outside. With the lifting of the drawing fork, the fingers of the left hand are released, slowly unfolded, and then left after hanging. Pay attention to the neat and tight winding when painting. If there are two people, one holds the pole and the other holds the shaft ends on both sides, and slowly tighten it. If the picture is too wide for both hands to hold, you can hold the middle part of the picture with one and a half hands and roll the picture with the other hand. Attention should be paid to the person holding the pole to hold the painting high and the painter to hold it low so as not to break the core of the painting.
oil painting
Renoir is a sight in Paris.
Oil painting is a painting painted on cloth, wood or cardboard with quick-drying vegetable oil such as linseed oil, walnut oil and poppy oil as pigments, which has the characteristics of rich colors and strong three-dimensional sense. As a precious collection with historical aesthetic feeling, oil painting has great economic value and profound emotional value. How to keep oil painting in good condition and prolong its life, there are the following points to pay attention to. First, the light intensity
Light will cause serious irreparable damage to oil painting. Excessive light intensity will lead to fading or darkening of oil paintings, blurring or even disappearing of images and details. In order to avoid damage caused by light, oil paintings should be placed in dark areas that are not exposed to direct sunlight.
Excessive light will also cause excessive heat accumulation, which will cause damage to oil painting. Therefore, the spotlight that should be scattered should be installed at least three meters away from the oil painting to avoid potential heat accumulation.

Second, temperature and humidity.
Excessive temperature and humidity and severe temperature and humidity fluctuations will cause the expansion and contraction of wood and fiber components in oil paintings, thus causing damage to oil paintings.
If the temperature of oil painting is too high, it will damage the base material of oil painting and accelerate the thermal degradation, thermal oxidation and hydrolysis of the material. When the temperature reaches 40℃, the pigment containing asphalt in the color layer may dissolve, forming dark brown spots and polluting the picture.
The instability of humidity has a greater influence on oil painting than the instability of temperature. Humidity is obviously reflected in the expansion or contraction of oil paintings. Because of the different expansion coefficients of its components, it often forms an unbalanced force, which makes the base layer and color layer partially uplift due to their separation from the base layer. The intuitive phenomenon is the cracking of the picture, the lifting and peeling of the paint.
The storage environment of oil painting collections should be strictly monitored, and appropriate temperature and humidity should be maintained, and the fluctuation of temperature and humidity should be controlled to a minimum. The acceptable temperature and humidity levels for oil painting preservation and display are as follows: winter temperature 18-2 1℃ relative humidity 40%-45% summer temperature 2 1-24℃ relative humidity 45%-55%.

Third, dust and dirt.
The dust and dirt on the surface of oil painting are really indecent, and at the same time, these dust have become a hotbed of mold growth, which makes the image of oil painting blurred and the accumulation of stains will also lead to the discoloration of the picture.
At this time, you can gently brush off the dust on the surface of oil painting and picture frame with a soft brush. Be careful when sweeping oil painting dust, don't bend the canvas with too much force, and don't hit the oil painting to make the paint fall off. The back of the oil painting should be cleaned with a sweeper or vacuum cleaner. In order to clean the back, the oil painting should be taken out of the frame and placed face down on a clean surface. If the dust on the surface can't be removed by cleaning, you can soak the cotton swab with distilled water and gently roll it forward on the surface to remove the dust.

Prints, like oil paintings and Chinese paintings, are one of the important forms of painting. China is the inventor of printmaking and the hometown of woodcut printmaking. Up to now, there is still a huge printmaking team in China, and the printmaking works have a high artistic level.

The non-deterioration shelf life of printmaking pictures is about 500 years, which is longer than that of watercolor painting and gouache painting, which is about 300 years. Pay attention to the following points in the way of saving:
First, control the temperature and humidity to avoid light damage. The optimum humidity for preserving printed matter is 50%. If there is air conditioning in the room, it is best to keep the painting at an appropriate room temperature.
Second, choose a good storage location, hanging on the wall for a long time is easy to get wet on the back. Collectors can leave a red wine cork, cut it to a height of about 2 cm, and put it on the back of the painting to avoid getting wet.
Third, acid-free mounting is also to avoid creases. Because prints are completely acid-free, it is best to spend hundreds of dollars on acid-free cardboard when mounting to prevent the painting from yellowing when it comes into contact with acid paper. In addition, direct contact with paintings, gloves and masks should be avoided when watching.

Sketches that need to be preserved for a long time can be fixed with Spray Fixative. Spray Fixative can be bought in professional stores or made by itself: the mashed rosin is soaked in alcohol at the ratio of alcohol 10 and rosin 1 0. After it is completely dissolved, pour it into a special or ordinary watering can and spray it. Generally, it needs to be sprayed three times. When spraying, the picture should be flat, and the watering can should not be too close to the picture. Should be sprayed from the side of the picture, one is to be uniform, and the other is to avoid blowing lead powder or toner off the picture.

To preserve the sketch for a long time, it is best to lay it flat, cover it with clean tissue paper, and fix one side of the tissue paper with the sketch to prevent it from being polluted by other paintings. Pay attention to regular inspection during storage to prevent moisture and insect bites.
Watercolor painting
Andrew wyeth's Ideological World
The bright and elegant creative style of watercolor painting often makes us fondle admiringly, because paper is much more fragile than cloth and wood, and it is difficult to protect the collection of watercolor painting. You should pay attention to the following points when saving watercolors.
1. It is best to use plexiglass with ultraviolet filtering function for the frame of the mounted work, which can isolate the pollution in the air and protect the painting from being scratched or exposed to moisture.
Second, check the inside of the glass regularly for signs of condensation. If this happens, re-mount the painting on the acid-resistant wooden board.
Andrew wyeth's "Time Passing"
Third, don't hang the painting on the wall facing the window, even if it is not directly illuminated, it will pose a threat to the painting.
4. After the framed work is put away, it is wrapped in cloth, and then the picture is placed face down; When accepting frameless works, wrap them in acid-resistant cotton paper and lay them flat in a dry place. Rolling it up or folding it will damage the painting.
As collectors, we don't have to deliberately create a museum-level environment to keep the paintings intact, but as long as we carefully protect them, a painting and calligraphy can be preserved for decades or even centuries.

"Calligraphy and painting collection", as an investment behavior of maintaining and increasing value, has more significant investment benefits than other projects, and its value-added range also exceeds other investments. Its particularity lies in that the art of calligraphy and painting is not only a material existence; It is also the crystallization of spiritual culture, which can be used as a deposit of material wealth and can also be appreciated and studied as an art. The value of calligraphy and painting is relatively stable, which shows that rare products can live and never go out of date, and the price of paintings rises with time. The sale of calligraphy and painting can enter the auction market at any time and get a fair price. What kind of calligraphy and painting is collectible?
Among many art categories, contemporary calligraphy is a sector worthy of attention, because contemporary calligraphy is at a high level in artistic creation and social cognition, and has not yet jumped out of the situation of low investment value. Whoever can take the lead in foreseeing and seizing this opportunity will get rich returns from the last value depression left by the art market-contemporary calligraphy.
Senior collectors all know the truth that painters and calligraphers have great value-added potential after collecting the works of famous disciples or celebrities. Indeed, the future development of his disciples can be seen from the artistic fitness of his teachers.

No matter how a painter packages himself, as long as he paints on rice paper, he can't avoid the requirement of pen and ink. Huang He's works are all good paintings, and the key is that the pen and ink are in place. Now there are not many painters whose pen and ink are in place, and good Chinese painting is hard to find. It is the standard to draw on rice paper with pen and ink. Discard the pen and ink and do some effects on the screen, which is easy for ordinary people to accept. No matter how beautiful it is, it is at best a "handicraft", which is far from reaching the standard of good painting. As long as it is a painting, it should be "painterly", and any painting that is extremely skilled in production and description should not be called a good painting.
It is puzzling that we can't find a way out for painting with our own national cultural standards. Just put aside other paintings and make the picture complete. The more you say it, the more complicated it becomes. In fact, it is very simple to see whether a painting is good or not. As long as the people you see are of high quality, it is easy to judge. People who judge by their positions, painting prices and popularity are mostly people who speculate in the art market. Therefore, there is no need to ask them too much about the standard of good painting.
