20 13 national tax printing painting making

-The fifth China stamp signature painter since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At the end of 20 13, State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China, People's Republic of China (PRC) issued a new edition of the stamp "Fujian buys zhanghua", which was created by Fujian painter Professor Xu Zhijian.

It is reported that after the founding of New China, stamps were issued in 1949 and 1952 respectively, and were incorporated into the consolidated industrial and commercial tax after the tax system reform in 1958. 1988, the State Council once again ordered the national unified collection of stamp duty, and in 20 13 * *, it issued the 12 version of the national stamp duty ticket. Previously, there were four versions of works signed by artists: 2003 World Heritage in China (painted by Feng Xiaohong) and 2009 China Ancient Sage Story (. The 20 13 stamp "People Buy zhanghua" will also be used as an exchange gift for the state's administrative reception and foreign visits.

With the theme of Fujian traditional architecture, the stamps select typical Fujian traditional architecture built in different years, reflecting the rich and colorful Fujian cultural characteristics such as Minnan culture, Hakka culture and Mazu culture. A set of 9 stamps with face values of 1, 2, 5, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan, with patterns of Wenchang Pavilion in Shanghang, Wenchang Pavilion in Yang Jiao, Sanfang and Qixiang in Fuzhou, Mazu Tempel in Putian, and Dongxita in Quanzhou. The 20 13 edition stamp "Minhang zhanghua" * * * issued 65.5 million pieces.

The painting creation of the 20 13 edition of zhanghua, a civilian dog, lasted more than three months from responding to the solicitation and selection to accepting the entrustment and completing the creation. The tax bill adopts the unique double-sided dyeing and heavy color technique adopted by Professor Xu Zhijian from the Academy of Fine Arts of Fujian Normal University, and emphasizes the appearance characteristics and rhythmic beauty of the building and its environment through large-scale blank space, striving to fully restore the historical features of the building and reflect the distinctive rhythm and level of the picture with special techniques of texture change and color separation. Fully show the beauty and brightness of Fujian scenery. The ingenious application of this technique not only adapts to the small format of tax stamps, but also creates a new visual language for the expression of the theme of historical buildings, and is also a bold innovation and attempt in the design style and theme expression of tax stamps.

Professor Xu Zhijian said that the style and techniques used in creating this set of tax stamps are the accumulation and formation of his unremitting pursuit of the construction and development of personal painting language in his long-term artistic practice. He believes that the transmission of visual beauty needs the innovation and creation of personal artistic language. Both the stamp works of Min Gou zhanghua and the subsequent series of works show a brand-new vision of his unique painting style. In an interview with reporters, Xu Zhijian revealed his next plan. He said that he wants to take his hometown as an important theme of artistic creation, hoping to find opportunities to set up a studio in his hometown, integrate more Puxian humanities and natural landscapes into his own creation, and express and spread the beauty of his hometown through his own art while feeling the hometown complex.
