Yang Shanshen (1913-2004), 'Flowers, Trees and Birds', Hanging Scroll. Length: 100 cm (39.37 in); Width: 46 cm (18.11 in). This fine flower-and-bird painting depicts gnarled old tree branches dotted with begonia blossoms. A golden pheasant perches on the flowering bough, head bowed and looking down with vivid expression. The tree trunk is rendered in broad pale ink washes, moist and rugged. Begonia blooms are dotted with light pink pigment, delicate and elegant. The pheasant's plumage is painted with a masterful balance of solid and void, subtle colours, its long tail gracefully extended, lifelike. The left side bears the artist's inscription: "Wuyin autumn ninth month, Shanshen", stamped with one red seal "Shanshen". Yang Shanshen is a leading master of the Lingnan School. He merged Chinese and western painting concepts and excelled at life sketching. His brushwork is free and lively, breathing vitality into traditional bird-and-flower themes. Original old mounting, paper carries natural age patina, well preserved.
