現代 袁譚淑繪梅，書陸機文，湯滌書碑，金西厓刻扇骨 成扇|Carved fan with plum-blossom painting
Yuan Tanshu|Jin Xiya
carving dated 1924 · Folding fan; ink and color on paper with carved bamboo frame · Asian Art
Jin Xiya was the most accomplished bamboo carver in modern China. Bamboo’s pliability makes it an ideal surface for reproducing the subtlety of brush and ink via carving, and for this reason the practice was seen as a companion to painting and an elegant pastime for a scholar-artist. This fan and the wrist rests in this case reveal both the expressive potential of the medium and Jin’s unique vision.
