Title: Qin School Post by: Peter Bentley 彭达理 on October 13, 2014, 02:09:26 pm Hi All
I just got an e-book pdf of the Qin School book which was published to coincide with the ICSBS Annual Convention in Xian later this month. It was sent to me on a personal basis, so I'm sorry I cannot copy on to you (anyway - it's an 11 MB zipfile) Apart from an intro to the Qin School it features the following artists and their typical works: 1. Zhang Tieshan - Founder and President of the Qin School Typical Shang urns and blue vases IPBs 2. Li Yingtao : previously Ji School, and now VP of the Qin School Typical "splash" color flower paintings 3. Song Yiming ( ex Ji School / Shijiazhuang) who has taken a new pen name Tian Cheng 天成 A lot of "traditional" excellent SYM Chinese landscapes Plus a fewtypical Qin School butterfly / insect paintings 4. Zhang Limin (ex Ji School /Hengshui / Da Yong top student) who has taken on a new pen name Tian Wu 天 悟 Birds and spiders, both of which are ZLM's specialties 5. Hao Shengjie 郝胜杰 , art name Tian Yu 天宇 Currently he seems to copy one of ZTS's styles and paints a multitude of butterflies and insects, also some excellent birds 6. Completely new artist, very young, born 1988, lady : Meng Jinfang 孟晋芳 Art name Di Fang 地芳 Paints Chinese faeries This is not meant in any way as a comment on the bottles I have just tried to summarize as simply as possible my first impression of the new Qin School book as objectively as possible as regards the typical bottles presented in the book If anyone else has access to the e-book pdf, please feel free to add/ correct my comments Cheers Peter |
