Insert Painting
by Master White-stone (Qi Baishi, 1863-1957)
Master White-stone (Qi Baishi, 1863-1957) is my favourite Chinese painter. He became a carpenter at 14, and learned to paint by himself. Until his forties, he traveled a lot to look for more inspirations. His early work is more like traditional Chinese landscape paintings.
Until his late life, the art of Master White-stone focused on the portrayal of small animals (eg. insects) in nature. I belive that his paintings well represent traditional Chinese culture, but in a simple, folk and playful style. A style nobody else achieved before.
