The Carved Brush showcases works by acclaimed Chinese artist Qi Baish. Born into a poor farming family and coming of age during China’s century of civil strife, Baishi became the most widely recognized Chinese artist of his time. His distinctly modern art broke through class and cultural barriers through use of expressive “carved” brushwork. Qi Baishi’s art is the ideal gateway through which art lovers of any class or culture can learn about the millennia-old tradition of Chinese brush painting.
