Guan Dao Sheng

Guan Dao Sheng

Here's a noted painting by this female Chinese artist. She was the wife of the painter Zhao Meng Fu. It's a sad critique of traditional Confucian Society in East Asia or anywhere else that many female poets and painters are only remembered cos they were lucky enuff to have male friends and relatives who didnt think women should only express themselves doing embroidery and weaving or sewing official robes.

Bamboo by Guan Dao Sheng



Doing a Superb tradiotional Chinese style bamboo painting in ink or color is actually difficult and challenging since it requires very precise brush stroke control yet ink flow. Guan DaoSheng is an acknowledged mistress of this subgenre.
