Pumpkin 1930

"Pumpkin" is a 1930 painting by Qi Baishi, one of the most renowned Chinese artists of the 20th century. Known for his mastery of traditional Chinese ink-and-wash painting, Baishi's work often features simple subjects like insects, birds, and plants. The delicate brushstrokes and washes capture the essence of the pumpkin, while the accompanying calligraphy adds to the overall aesthetic appeal. This piece exemplifies Baishi's minimalist style, which emphasizes the beauty of nature and the artist's individual expression.
