Comprehensive Research on Foujita's Painting Technique in the 1920s

20世纪20年代藤田绘画技法综合研究藤田（Leonard-Tsuguharu Foujita）于20世纪20年代初在巴黎赢得了国际声誉，主要是因为他创造了一种非常独特的绘画技法，被称为“勒格朗白画”。“他用这种技术在乳白色的地面上用一条非常细的黑线画出裸体和静物。他从来没有透露过他是如何在以石油为基础的土地上与水基“sumi”划清界限的秘密。在藤田去世后的四十年里，这种技术一直是一个谜。通过对藤田绘画的修复、技术的复制、文字的研究等信息的分析，我们发现滑石（广泛用于化妆品和涂料的硅酸镁氢氧化物）是关键材料。

Comprehensive Research on Foujita's Painting Technique in the 1920sThe painter Foujita (Leonard-Tsuguharu Foujita) earned an international reputation in Paris at the beginning of 1920s, mainly because he created a very original painting technique known as "le grand fond blanc." He used this technique to draw nudes and stilllifes with a very thin black line on a milky-white ground. He never revealed the secret of how he was able to draw the line with water-based "sumi" on an oil-based ground. In the forty years since Foujita's death, this technique has remained a mystery. As a result of our research--which involved the analysis of information gained from restoration of his paintings, reproduction of his technique, and research on Foujita's writings--we have found that talc (magnesium silicate hydroxide, widely used in cosmetics and paints) is the key material.
