Ni Tsan: The Jung-hsi Studio
Yuan Dynasty / hanging scroll / ink on paper
 |
Ni Tsan (1301-1374) was a native of Wu-hsi, Kiangsu province. His style name was Yuan-chen
and his sobriquet was Yun-lin. His character and conduct were pure and upright, he liked
to read, followed Taoism, probed into Ch'an Buddhist studies, and was celebrated during his
times for his poetry and prose. In his late years he abandoned his fields and residence,
obtained a small boat, and spent his life on lakes and rivers. This work, produced when
Ni Tsan was seventy-two, was painted for his friend Po-hsuan. It is a masterpiece indicating
the sublime state of literati painting in its use of the dry brush and strokes utilizing the
side of the brush.
