Description: | Traditional Chinese painting (from which Japanese painting derives) is distinguished from Western art in that it is executed on paper or silk with a Chinese brush, ink and mineral and vegetable pigments. It is not framed. Many painters are also poets and calligraphers and will often add a poem in, which invariably carries an impression of his seal. With flower-and-bird paintings, sometimes a single flower hangs as if suspended in space, or the flowers and plants of different seasons appear together. The resulting piece of work is usually an integrated whole of four branches of Chinese art - poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal-cutting. Clearly the designer of this tin has tried to suggest such works of art. The authentic looking script on these examples suggest real prototypes were being copied. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | bird bamboo environment natural science tree costume study inscription | Temporal: | start=1969-01-01; end=1969-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Not known | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
