"Flower" is a 1978 ink and wash painting by the prolific Chinese artist Huang Yongyu. The painting features a single, delicate lotus flower, painted in a minimalist style, with bold strokes of ink highlighting the flower’s delicate petals. The lotus flower is a common motif in Chinese art, symbolizing purity and beauty, and its inclusion in this work reflects a classic theme of traditional Chinese painting. The bold, gestural brushstrokes are reminiscent of the style of traditional Chinese brush painting, highlighting the artist’s mastery of the medium.
