A room of small size and light silks and soft home cards painted by Chinese artists with flowers, insects and birds. Apparently homogeneous and with the same repeating patterns in different situations in their singular uniqueness, each with its own meaning, discovered or hidden. Every flower, every element in the paintings carry a message.
The reason Prince is bamboo, a plant that thrives in China and is traditionally known for its versatility as a building material and its shape, thin and stately. The bamboo and decorations symbolize integrity and honesty - this very large grass bends during storms, but not burst.
From silk scroll Bamboo and Birds , dated 1618-1690, I discovered that painters specializing in high level in China in the painting of two, three subjects, or even one. The inscription on the silk in fact says that the design and 'the work of two masters: Sheng Zhu has painted bamboo, orchids and rocks while the artist called on, the red-headed birds.
The symbolic element in Chinese painting is rooted to the point that some Chinese artists of the twentieth century are tornati ai soggetti tradizionali e alla ricca simbologia che li accompagna, sperimentando tecniche e formati inedite. Ma anche i riferimenti sono stati rinnovati e se in passato i significati nascosti erano benaugurati, nel XX secolo spesso fiori frutti e insetti sottintendevano un messaggio politico.
E così anche innocenti passerotti come quelli di Huang Miazoi, Sparrows in snow , attraverso la poesia che accompagna il quadro, si traducono in un ammonimento socio-politico "il vento cambia spesso il tempo improvvisamente/ma non bisogna preoccuparsi".
Not to miss: Autumn Lotus Pond , Yang Yanping (b. 1934). The flowers are a purple off, stained with black and red iron ore, on a gray background, shyly lilac. The colors are subtle but profound made through a complex technique that sees the color filter from the back of the sheet with paper stretched or wrinkled.
