Four Landscapes

[Steven]

Steven, any date on the Wang Baichuan bottle? I'm waiting for my copy of Leung's book which I seem to remember showed you how to read bottle dates (I used to have a copy which got lost in my many moves).
Is there any way to identify the real name of those using pen names?

And I also look forward to meeting you all later this year in Hong Kong.

Dear Geoff,

The Wang Baichuan bottle is dated Jia Xu which is 1994.

Bill has a wonderful website,which has the info for cyclical  calendar, I used it a lot!

Also the 3rd bottle was signed' painted in Hua yi xuan studio华艺轩, which is 王千 wang qian's studio, so xiao yun could be one of wang qian's student.

There are thousands of inside painting artist in china, I would say more than hundred well known ones, so its not easy to ID every artist by the artname, sometimes, some artists happen share the same art names,  Peter has a huge database, but still can't cover all the artists, but we are getting there..

Best!

Steven

Thanks for that info Steven.
