Oil painting repair as a professional disciplines, in western several hundreds of years, formed a mature industry, in China it is still stay in prototype stage.

In 1999, Shanghai sculpture court established the canvas painting repair since research, always constraint in the same narrow the studio, no scale; And guangdong art museum and the Beijing central is a beautiful painting repair studio, is also in recent years that it has set up, scale is not large, employment and numbered.

But China oil painting in the narrow repair technology but living environment quietly to mature. 10 years, Shanghai oil painting sculpture court two oil painting XiuFuShi QianYi and HanLianGuo, a total of more than 200 of the repair of liu haisu art museum collection oil painting, also undertake a lot of domestic and foreign private oil painting repair business, by collectors sure.

Before that, people can see fine works of only tens of picture.

Let more glamorous works fine

Liu haisu at age 94 his collection of celebrity calligraphy and painting and he drew most of the oil painting and more than 1000 pieces all proceeds to the Shanghai liu haisu art museum, of which there are more than 300 of oil painting. The paintings of the "cultural revolution", the experience of the holocaust, mostly have different degree of damage. And one of the most for a long time in the road home in the attic of a fine, so serious damp, leading to large area of spalling paint, the situation is at stake.

According to liu haisu art museum experts ShenHu recalls, in 1994, he and several colleagues to liu haisu home inventory before the donated by's works, see this batch of canvas, was dumbfounded. "A lot of pictures seriously damaged, cracked, paint peeling, mildewy, become angry... some black mass of the picture. Move can dare not move, and paints like flax SuTang similar to fall off."
