Comments:Painted in Chinese style. The painting was done by Katherine Talati under the supervision of her teacher, the ink painter Prince Pu Quan, in Beijing in the years 1946-1948. The painting offers evidence of Talati’s talent and thorough training. The painting shows a balanced composition, a variety of brush techniques and subtle ink tonalities. Professor Hu Shi 胡适 (1891-1962) praised the painting when he saw it in Beijing. Bamboo Grove was exhibited in the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery and in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in 1978. Both leaves, Bamboo Grove and Jay Bird (2009,3013.3) are part of a painting manual which was co-produced by the master and his pupil to teach future students of Chinese painting in Britain. The manual consists of 141 leaves and is today in the collection of the British Museum.Published:Shelagh Vainker and James C.S. Liu, Pu Quan and his generation.
