Fu Baoshi Liuxi Fishing Boat Map Axis

[Fu Baoshi Liuxi Fishing Boat Map Axis]

“Liuxi Fishing Boat Map” axis, modern times, Fu Baoshi painting, paper version, color setting, vertical 49 cm, horizontal 75.6 cm
The title of this painting is: “Write with a stone.” The seal is “Private Seal with a Stone”, with a square seal in white text, and “Often Drunken”, with a rectangular seal in red text
The picture depicts a fishing boat slowly rising out of the reeds among the vast expanses of misty waves, with willows swaying in the wind nearby, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. As far as I can see, the water and sky meet, and the breeze blows across my face, as if there is a strong spring feeling. Although there is not much writing and ink, the idyllic scenery like poetry and song is vividly displayed on the paper. Since ancient times, rural life has often been the object of depiction by painters to express their yearning for a peaceful life. This type of theme is often seen in Fu Baoshi’s paintings and should be an external expression of his inner world
