Za umetniška dela ali reprodukcije, ki so po katerikoli strani širše od 105 cm (približno 41 palč), bo okvir poslan v razstavljeni obliki kot komplet. Ta metoda zagotavlja varno dostavo in preprečuje poškodbe med transportom.
Potrebna je profesionalna montaža – to ni izdelek za DIY izdelavo.
Komplet mora sestaviti in platno napeti izkušen profesionalni okvirjest, pri čemer bo uporabil lepil za les (ni vključeno), klešče za napetje platna in spone, da bi ohranil pravokotnost letev med sušenjem lepila. Nepravilna montaža ali neenakomerna napetost platna lahko trajno poškoduje umetniško del in ni pokrita z našo garancijo.
Vključene so vse letve iz masivnega lesa, natančno izrezane po meri.
Montaža poteka s priloženimi vijaki, vendar je za kotiče potrebna lepil za les, ki ga ni v kompletu in ga mora zagotoviti vaš okvirnik.
Za uporabo so potrebna profesionalna orodja, ki niso vključena: klešče za napinjanje platna (napetnik) in sponke za ohranjanje pravokotnosti letev med sušenjem lepila.
Pomembno:
Za stike v kotih potrebujete lepil za les, nosilce je treba z spenjačami držati, dokler se lepil popolnoma ne suši, za zategovanje platna na sestavljenem okvirju pa potrebujete spenjače za platno. Noben od teh pripomočkov ni vključen v komplet. Pred naročilom te velikosti, prosimo, poskrbite za izkušenega profesionalnega okvirja.

A Chronicle of Suffering and Hope – The Genesis of “Behind Me”
Xu Beihong's "Behind Me," a monumental oil on canvas measuring 230 x 318 cm, isn’t merely a depiction of a scene; it’s a visceral embodiment of historical turmoil and the enduring spirit of resistance. Painted in 1933 during a period of profound upheaval – the Mukden Incident and the looming shadow of Japanese aggression over China – the artwork transcends its immediate context to resonate with universal themes of oppression, resilience, and the yearning for liberation. The painting’s genesis is deeply intertwined with Xu's own personal experiences; he deliberately chose this subject matter as a response to the injustices faced by his people, drawing inspiration from historical accounts detailing the brutal reign of Emperor Jie of Xia, a figure synonymous with tyranny and suffering.
The narrative itself, gleaned from ancient Chinese texts, centers on King Tang’s righteous intervention against Jie. Tang's unwavering declaration – “Succor will follow me” – becomes the painting’s central motif, representing not just military strength but a profound commitment to alleviating the plight of the oppressed. Xu Beihong masterfully translates this historical drama into a visual language that speaks volumes about the desperation and hope intertwined within the scene. The composition is deliberately stark; a collection of figures, rendered with a remarkable blend of realism and emotional intensity, stand amidst a desolate landscape – a deliberate choice mirroring the bleakness of their circumstances.
The Language of Form: Technique and Composition
Xu Beihong’s technical prowess is immediately evident in “Behind Me.” He skillfully employs a technique that bridges Eastern and Western influences. While rooted in traditional Chinese ink wash painting, he seamlessly integrates oil painting techniques – particularly in the rendering of textures and the use of light and shadow – demonstrating his commitment to innovation. The figures are not idealized; they possess an earthy quality, reflecting their humble origins and the hardships they endure. Notice the deliberate use of muted tones, punctuated by flashes of color that draw attention to key elements within the composition. The arrangement of the figures is carefully considered, creating a dynamic flow that guides the viewer’s eye through the scene, emphasizing the collective weight of their suffering.
- Brushwork: A masterful blend of Chinese and Western styles – loose washes for background elements combined with more controlled strokes for figure details.
- Color Palette: Dominated by earthy browns, grays, and ochres, punctuated by strategic use of red to highlight key figures and symbols.
- Composition: A pyramid-like structure draws the eye towards the central figures, reinforcing their importance within the narrative.
Symbolism and Emotional Resonance
Beyond its historical context, “Behind Me” is rich in symbolic meaning. The bowl and spoon held by several individuals represent a desperate plea for sustenance – a poignant reminder of the basic necessities denied to the oppressed. The animal present in the scene—often interpreted as a dog—further amplifies this theme of vulnerability and loyalty. More profoundly, the painting embodies the spirit of resistance against injustice. It’s not simply a depiction of suffering; it's an assertion of hope – a belief that even in the darkest of times, the desire for liberation will ultimately prevail. The phrase “Succor will follow me” isn’t just a historical quote; it becomes a powerful visual mantra within the artwork itself.
A Legacy of Social Commentary and Artistic Innovation
“Behind Me” stands as a testament to Xu Beihong's artistic vision and his commitment to using art as a vehicle for social commentary. Created during a turbulent period in Chinese history, it reflects the anxieties and aspirations of a nation grappling with foreign invasion and internal strife. Xu’s decision to embrace both traditional Chinese techniques and Western influences marked a pivotal moment in the development of modern Chinese painting, paving the way for future generations of artists to explore new forms of expression while retaining their cultural heritage. Reproductions of this powerful work continue to resonate today, serving as a potent reminder of the enduring struggle for justice and the unwavering spirit of humanity.
