White pigments with different publishing colors are used in ``Nude Woman and Dog on a Bed'' (produced in 1921), a work by Leonard Fujita (Tsuguharu Fujita), a Japanese painter who was active in Paris, France before the war. This was revealed in a joint survey by the National Institute of Informatics, Pola Museum of Art, Tokyo University of the Arts, the University of Tokyo, and Kyoto University.The Pola Museum of Art believes that Fujita used different pigments to recreate the texture of the skin.
According to the Pola Museum of Art, Fujita is known to have used a unique technique in painting nude women with skin textures known as ``milky white skin'' and ``milky white base,'' but the pigments are only known in terms of their physical composition. I didn't understand.
When a research group irradiated ultraviolet light on ``Nude Woman and Dog on a Bed,'' which is owned by the Pola Museum of Art and has not been restored or varnished, they found that the sheets in the background were slightly green, the skin was pale, and the lips and fingernails were pale. Her nipples and other areas emitted red fluorescence.The research group believes that Fujita tried to reproduce the texture of skin using the optical effect of fluorescent light under natural light that contains ultraviolet light.
A composition analysis conducted in 2011 revealed that the white pigment Fujita used was calcium carbonate, talc, and barium sulfate.Although it was not known which pigment contained calcium carbonate, an investigation into the fluorescent components of the chalk used in Japanese paintings revealed that it emitted blue light.There is a growing possibility that Fujita used gofun to color his skin.
