About Henan Illustration Kişeya Wêneyan

Wêneya Henanê rêzeyek ji pênc wêneyan e ku li ser bingeha wêneyên kevneşopî yên salnameya nû yên ji dara qelibandî (woodblock) yên Bajarokê Zhuxianê li Parêzgeha Henanê ya Çînê hatiye çêkirin. Ev rêzik kesayetiyên klasîk ên van çapan bi şêwazek destnivîsî ya rasterast, ya ku ji bo temaşevanên ciwantir guncan e, ji nû ve şîrove dike. Xetên karakteran li ser tabletekê bi teniyek destnexşandî hatine xêzkirin, paşê kêlek û rengan bi nermalava sererastkirina wêneyan hatine temam kirin. Rengên zer û şîn ên bi tîrbûna bilind kontrastekê çêdikin, û her figur derbirînek rûyî ya cuda hilgirtiye. Armanc ji nû ve zindîkirina eleqeya giştî ye bo hunerekî gelêrî yê ku hêdî hêdî winda dibe.
