現代　石魯　荷圖　軸|Lotus

Shi Lu

undated · Hanging scroll; ink and color on paper · Asian Art

Shi Lu used heavily saturated pools of diluted ink and color to evoke the languor of a summer afternoon by the banks of a lotus pond. The inscription written in his signature angular hand reads, “The summer rain and fresh lotus are cool refreshments relieving the summer heat.”
