Framed Prints
Framed Print of Flowers of Four Seasons, with Poems, 1531. Creator: Wang Guxiang (Chinese, 1501-1568)
Flowers of Four Seasons, with Poems, 1531. In this painting, flowers are loosely arranged by the seasons: narcissus and peony represent early spring; yellow loquat and lotus, summer; chrysanthemum, autumn; and the plum and evergreen bamboo, winter. The artist added to each flower a poetic line of calligraphy associating each plant with a historic or legendary figure. For example, the chrysanthemum, along with the line The untrammeled joy at the eastern fence, refers to the poet Tao Yuanming (died AD 427) who enjoyed chrysanthemums at the eastern fence in his garden. The scroll illustrates Wang Guxiangs mastery of free brushwork, combining light monochrome ink with transparent colours. In his inscription, Wang says he used the boneless style without outlines as developed during the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368). Wang was a native of Changzhou, a city in southeast China known for its rich flora and fauna, and flower-and-bird painting tradition.
