The picture depicts three sturdy bamboo poles growing adjacent to each other, running straight through the painting, with a towering momentum. The bamboo pole is represented by a brush stroke, with each section brushed straight up and down to form a wide and flat bamboo section. There are small gaps between each section of bamboo, filled with heavy ink lines to distinguish the upper and lower sections, while emphasizing the hardness of the bamboo joints. “The bamboo leaves can be tilted up or down in various shapes, and their horizontal movements break the vertical layout of the bamboo poles, making the picture more lively and vivid.”. In the application of ink to bamboo leaves, the front and back of the leaves are represented by varying shades of ink. The back of the leaves painted in light ink and the front of the leaves written in thick ink are overlapped and interlaced under the breeze, complementing each other, enriching the visual effect and expanding the spatial level of the picture
Xu Beihong’s favorite bamboo for painting is the moso bamboo from Dingshu Mountain, Yixing, his hometown. This kind of bamboo has a strong and straight appearance and belongs to high-quality bamboo products.
