Among them, Zhangjiajie with single-sided embroidery is 2.3 meters high and 4.9 meters wide, and Yueyang Tower in Shuang Mianxiu is 2.05 meters high and 4.25 meters wide, which respectively set the largest scale of Xiang embroidery in Shuang Mianxiu. The embroidered "Chairman Mao and Fifty-six Nationalities" is the second batch of embroidery sent to Hunan Hall of the Great Hall of the People, with a larger scale, setting a record for the largest size in the history of Chinese embroidery.
More than 80 people embroidered for 2 16 days.
This embroidery is based on the oil painting of the same name created by the famous artist Hou Yimin in 1960s, which depicts the warm scene of Chairman Mao and 56 ethnic groups. According to reports, in order to transplant this famous painting into Xiang embroidery, Xiang Embroidery Research Institute organized more than 80 design and embroidery experts including Xiang embroidery masters Song Dingguo, Liu Aiyun, Rao Biyou, Wang Xiaohui and Wang Jianyi, which lasted 2 16 days and cost170,000 working hours. Liu Aiyun, who participated in the production, said that in the past, oil paintings were mainly embroidered with random needles, but the effect was good from a distance. This time, the embroidery broke through the tradition, with cross stitches as the main method, supplemented by random stitches and oblique stitches, to embroider the facial texture of the characters. Xiu Xiang is more natural and refined. People in the industry lament that this painting not only has the heavy feeling of the original oil painting, but also adds the magnificent momentum unique to the new era in re-creation.
Chairman Mao and Fifty-six Nationalities was well received by all circles as soon as it came out. According to Zhou Ce, director of Hunan Embroidery Research Institute, it is these pioneers who broke the tradition and created this great masterpiece. ?
Embroidery of characters' faces is the most difficult. In the traditional Xiu Xiang, the light is refracted by the silk thread, which makes the characters lifelike. However, the characters in oil paintings are rich in color and have a heavy feeling, and there can be no reflection, otherwise the characters will be deformed and robbed, which will affect the relationship between primary and secondary. In the past, embroidered oil paintings were mainly embroidered with random needles and could only be seen from a distance. This time, the artists of Hunan Embroidery Research Institute mainly used cross stitch, supplemented by random stitches and oblique stitches, to embroider the facial texture of the characters. Skin color and facial features are treated according to different situations in terms of color conversion, needle track direction and line thickness. Eyebrows and eyes are embroidered very finely, and the emotions are passionate and unrestrained, which makes the face flexible and smooth and has the effect of not reflecting light. ?
The second difficulty is the costume of the characters, which is also the most brilliant place of this work. Chairman's woolen coat, worker's coarse uniform, Uygur girl's silk skirt, Miao daughter's brocade, etc. , or thick or thick, or light or elegant, especially the costumes of ethnic minorities, colorful and full of national characteristics. Embroidery artists use nearly 30 kinds of stitch systems, and then combine the thickness of embroidery thread to reflect the texture. For example, the artist creatively applies the knitting stitch of sweater to embroidery to express straw ornaments; Embroidering leggings, skirts, cuffs and other parts of national costumes with two different colors of embroidery thread can better reflect the characteristic beauty of coarse and fine. At the same time, the embroidery thread is bold and colorful, and the whole embroidery has as many as 400 colors. It makes full use of the characteristics of Xiang embroidery, which not only embroiders the characteristics, but also obeys the main body and highlights the center.
These words are almost enough. I hope this is what you want.
