"Briar" is a 1955 ink and color painting on paper by renowned Chinese artist Qi Baishi. Known for his expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Baishi captures the delicate beauty of flowering briar with masterful simplicity. The painting's light background emphasizes the bold black strokes of the branches and the vivid orange and red tones of the flowers. This work exemplifies Baishi's signature style, blending traditional Chinese painting techniques with a modernist sensibility.
