About This Item
Hunan Fine Arts, 2000-01-01. Paperback. Good. In Chinese. 2003 first edition, Hunan mei shu chu ban she (Changsha, Hunan, China), four 8 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches tall pictorial hardbounds, no dust jackets (as issued), copiously illustrated with full color photographs of the work of Qi Baishi, [28], 90, [8], 110, [8], 110, [8], 110 pp. (472 pp. total). Slight soiling, rubbing and edgewear to covers. Ten-inch vertical crease to rear cover of Volume 1 (from the printer/binder). Mild bowing to the boards, especially the covers of Volumes 1-2. Otherwise, a near fine set - clean, bright and unmarked - of this uncommon biography and collection of the works of renowned Chinese painter Qi Baishi. OCLC (No. 53211792) locates only six copies at institutions worldwide, one each in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Harvard, Stanford and the Library of Congress in Washington. Note that this is a heavy and oversized set, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~FF~ Qi Baishi (1864 - 1957) was an influential Chinese painter, noted for the whimsical, often playful style of his watercolor works. Some of Qi's major influences include the early Qing dynasty painter Bada Shanren (Zhu Da) and the Ming dynasty artist Xu Wei. His pseudonyms include Qi Huang and Qi Weiqing. The subjects of his paintings include almost everything, commonly animals, scenery, figures, toys, vegetables, and so on. He theorized that 'paintings must be something between likeness and unlikeness, much like today's vulgarians, but not like to cheat popular people.' In his later years, many of his works depict mice, shrimp or birds.
