    PRESENTATION

    ON
    BAMBOO PAINTINGS
    Bamboo painting
    Works of bamboo painting, usually in ink, are a recognized
    motif or subgenre of East Asian painting. In a work of
    bamboo painting in ink, a skilled artist and calligrapher
    will paint a bamboo stalk or group of stalks with leaves.
    The contrast between the foreground and background, and
    between the varying textures represented by the stalks and
    the leaves, gave scope to the painter to demonstrate his or
    her mastery with an inkpot and a brush.
    The bamboo painter often inscribes a poem that
    accompanies the painting and further elucidates the motif.
    The poem is often an integral part of the work as a whole.
    A viewer of the work can compare the calligraphy of the
    poem with the calligraphy of the painting, as both are
    typically inscribed with the same brush and reflect a
    similar mood and state of awareness.
    Bamboo in Ink
    Wen Tong, style name Yuke , was a native of
    Zitong in Sichuan. He excelled at poetry and
    prose while being gifted at calligraphy and
    painting. He particularly specialized in bamboo
    painted in monochrome ink.

    This monochrome ink painting depicts bamboo


    hanging from a cliff and luxuriantly filled with
    leaves.

    Wen Tong pioneered the technique of using


    monochrome ink for depicting bamboo. This
    painting is not only a rare original of his
    surviving work, it is also one of the
    representative examples of Northern Song
    literati ink painting.

    This dramatically cropped image of bamboo


    revealsneither 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.
