ca. 1930s · Sheet from a sketchbook; pencil and ink on paper · Asian Art

This sketch illustrates Xie's interest in studying actual specimens of bamboo. Nonetheless, the regularized lines of the stalks and joints reflect his familiarity with traditional "double-outline" renderings, which served as the basis for his translation of nature into art.
