| 内容简介（英文） | Withered Trees and Wintry Crows Fang Ming (1882-?) Republican Period Fang Ming, a native of T’ung-ch’eng, was a painter of the early Republican period active in Taiwan around 1930. He made a major contribution in his advocacy of Chinese-style painting. This work, donated to the National Palace Museum by Mr. Lin Tsung-i, was done in shades of ink to depict the pure and elegantly chilly atmosphere of crows in cold and withered trees, a flowing stream, and a bright moon, thereby highlighting the theme of “crows and barren trees in winter”. The signed inscription in the upper left reads, “Painted by Fang Ming of T’ung-ch’eng in Chin-ku in the seventh lunar month of the i-yu year (1945).” The date indicates that this is a work from Fang’s mature period. |
