Watercolor and ink on paper roll, featuring pond scene, signed and attr. Zhu Qizhan (Chinese, 1892-1996), inscribed with 1 artist seal, 68 x 44.5 cm, Zhu as a professor, dean of the Western Fine Art School of Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts and an adviser to the Chinese Artists Association. Zhu Qizhan favors the use of slender forms laid-down on rice paper which rapidly absorbs Indian ink and is usually used for Chinese calligraphy. Zhu Qizhan is today considered as a major painter in the history of Chinese art, particularly because of the transition he undertook between traditional Chinese painting and contemporary art.
