[Chen Shizeng’s Chrysanthemum Stone Painting Axis]

The Chrysanthemum Stone Painting Axis, in modern times, is painted by Chen Shizeng in paper, with colors, 134.3 centimeters vertically and 33.4 centimeters horizontally
The self title on the left side of the screen reads: “Mr. Shouzhi belongs to Mr. Chen Hengke, Shizeng.” With the seal of “Shizeng”
“Plum Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum” The Four Gentlemen are popular themes among painters. When painters paint these four plants, they often use dead wood or beautiful stones to enrich the picture and facilitate composition. Therefore, combinations of “Plum Stone”, “Orchid Stone”, “Bamboo Stone”, and “Chrysanthemum Stone” appear. As for stones, painters often choose exquisite the Taihu Lake Lake stones, layered rubble, or solid stones with body shapes according to their own preferences. Different stones have different textures and artistic effects
The composition of this painting is centered on stone, with a combination of stone color and ink. The brush is extensive and does not pay attention to details. The emphasis is on highlighting the volume of the stones. The stones are painted with several black chrysanthemums on top and bottom using a messy double hook technique, with the leaves filled with ink. The entire work is full of atmospheric pen and ink implications.
