Description

Color painting based on a black and white original by an unknown early Chinese artist in order to learn from his style. In the inscription is “amici memoriam” which is Latin for “in memory of an old friend” since I consider all the past artists of China as my friends. Inscribed: “Soft sounds of wind through the trees mingles with the stench from the factory next door.” The inscription is mine and not on the original.

With traditional Chinese paper backing.
