Qi Baishi (1864–1957) was one of the most beloved contemporary Chinese watercolor painters. His original name is Huang but he went by Baishi (“white stone”) as a pseudonym. Some of Qi’s major influences include the Ming dynasty artist Xu Wei (徐渭) and the early Qing dynasty painter Zhu Da (朱耷). His favorite subjects include shrimps, fish, crabs, frogs, insects, and peaches. In his later years, many of his works depict mice, shrimps, or birds. His ink work tended to be dark and heavy, and his colors bold and bright. For this post I picked some bugs and flowers. Come on spring, BLOOM!!!
