ke jiusi (? – 1343)
Explore the serene landscapes of Ke Jiusi (1290-1343), a Yuan Dynasty painter & poet. Known for Wen Tong-inspired brushwork, his art and poetry capture tranquility.
This dramatically cropped image of bamboo reveals neither the plant"s base nor its tip; rather, the leaves and branches seem to defy gravity, giving the pendent bough a sense of dynamic movement and growth. The contrasting ink tones and thrusting brushstrokes that define the leaves add to the vitality of the image. Ke Jiusi, a leading connoisseur and curator of the imperial art collection, here demonstrates his scholarly approach to the study of antique models by freely copying a work by the Northern Song master Wen Tong (1019–1079), the patriarch of the monochrome bamboo genre.
