Pa-ta-shan-jen:
Album of Flowers and Landscapes
Pa-ta-shan-jen created an extremely original style of painting by inheriting Hsu Wei's bird-and-flower painting style and Tung Ch'i-ch'ang's landscape painting style, both of whom are Ming dynasty painters . This album contains paintings of unpretentious subjects which are depicted with daringly unique compositions and free brush strokes that result a pure and untrammeled atmosphere. The artist's independence and dissension as a member of the fallen Ming imperial court can be sensed in the expression of the eye of the bird standing on one leg. This work was created during the height of his career. ( Collection of the Shanghai Museum )
