Dai Benxiao (? – ?)
A master of abstract expressionism, this artist is renowned for works like 'Number 1, 1950' and pushing the boundaries of color field painting; discover a world of emotion and form in their captivating canvases.
All his life Dai pursued a dry, softly textured style, creating evocative images of Daoist reclusion and high-minded self-cultivation. This album, one of the finest examples of Dai’s art, is stylistically datable to his late maturity, circa 1690. In traditional fashion, the album concludes with a snowscape. Dai’s final words on that leaf makes it clear that the intent of his painting is self-expression as well as representation.I clean my inkstone not just to paint,But to reveal the images in my mind.
