Fruit Tree 2000

"Fruit Tree" is a 2000 ink and wash painting by renowned Chinese artist Wu Guanzhong (1919-2010). The artwork depicts a stylized fruit tree with red berries, rendered in a loose and expressive style characteristic of Guanzhong's work. The delicate branches and leaves, executed with a bold and fluid brushstroke, create a sense of movement and life, while the scattered birds add a touch of whimsy. This painting showcases Guanzhong's ability to capture the essence of nature in a simplified yet evocative way, blending traditional Chinese ink painting techniques with modern sensibilities.
