Is this author famous?

The author of this painting is Qi Baishi, a master of modern painting in China and a world cultural celebrity.

He worked as a carpenter in his early years, then made a living by selling paintings, and settled in Beijing after he was 57.

He is good at painting flowers and birds, insects and fish, landscapes and figures. His pen and ink are vigorous and moist, with rich and bright colors, simple and vivid shapes and simple artistic conception. Fish, shrimp, worms and crabs are full of fun. 1928 published "Poems on White Stone" and "Poems on Borrowing Mountains" (handwritten version).

1933, Baishi Poetry and Grass Publishing (eight volumes of typography).

In 1936, I visited Sichuan. I met Huang in Sichuan.

1937, I listened to Yi Shu's fortune-telling theory and used the method of hiding the sky and crossing the sea. I am 77 years old. In July of that year, when Beiping fell, I felt sad and angry, so I didn't see the guests easily. Photo courtesy of The Dove of Peace People's Daily1951February, 10 More than 0 paintings participated in the "Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea" in Shenyang.

In 1952, it took three days to make Zhang Er's huge white flowers and doves for the Asia-Pacific Peace Conference held in Beijing. In the same year, he created many works entitled Victory in Peace and Long Live Peace. Carpenter's background, drifting in the north in his later years, and high-priced works are all adding points to his play. The other is that the old man Baishi died in a short time, just like the favorite Qing palace drama in China. There are many available materials, and it is not good to be embellished.

Qi Baishi's shrimp painting is a must in painting.

Qi Baishi made great efforts to express the physical and mental characteristics of shrimp by observing shrimp painting all his life.

Qi Baishi lived by the pond since childhood and often fished shrimp. Began to draw shrimp when I was young; After the age of 40, I copied the shrimp paintings of the Ming and Qing painters Xu Wei and Li Futang. At the age of 63, the shrimps painted by Qi Baishi were very similar, but not "alive" enough, so he raised several long-armed shrimps in a bowl and put them on the drawing. The method of drawing shrimp has also changed, and shrimp has become one of the representative artistic symbols of Qi Baishi.
