DiaporamaCarved fan, chrysanthemum and bird
1923
31.0 x 46.0 cm
This folding fan features carvings on its outer ribs by Jin Xiya (1890–1979), the finest bamboo artist active in twentieth-century China. It showcases Jin’s virtuosic command of traditional bamboo intaglio carving. His works often incorporate compositions from designs contributed by his contemporary artists, such as the calligraphy in running script by Yang Jin (1876–1945) on this piece. In addition to the fine carving, this fan also bears birds and flowers by Jin himself—shedding light on the bamboo artist’s exquisite skill of painting. According to the archival list of Jin’s works (fan frame #40), the bamboo carving was completed on March 28, 1923.
