Review of an artwork in Ashmolean museum2

I talked about the description and analysis about bird on a branch. I'll introduce the interpretation and evaluation today.


This is a freehand brushwork in traditional Chinese painting about bird and plant. There are two different types of Chinese traditional paintings. One is Freehand brushwork, the other is Claboratestyle painting. This painting belongs the first one. Chinese paper also has two different types. The paper that we used in freehand brushwork is not brushed on a kind of special syrup. When water with ink meet with the paper, trances will be blooming, therefore, it can't be controlled easily. However, it is exactly the touch of birds. ZhuDa could paint different texture of things by a same writing brush by accident. This is the magic of Chinese painting. Personally, I love the fishes painted by ZhuDa.



Each fish he painted has own personal characteristics. No one can use the same way to paint as ZhuDa in the world. That is the value of his paintings.
