Thank you for viewing. Qi Baishi (1864-1957) was a representative Chinese painter, seal carver, and calligrapher of the modern era. Originally from Xiangtan, Hunan Province, he worked as a woodcarver but taught himself painting and later became highly regarded in the Chinese art world. His works, which feature familiar natural subjects such as flowers, birds, fish, shrimp, and insects, are full of vitality and poetic feeling, and are known for their unique style that combines simplicity and strength. In particular, his paintings of shrimp are praised as "lifelike" and are very famous both in China and abroad. In addition, he excelled in calligraphy and seal carving, and was awarded the title of "People's Artist" as a versatile artist. His art, which fuses traditional Chinese literati painting with the simple sensibilities of the common people, is loved by many people even today. I am selling this item to organize my collection.
