Orchid and Rock
Ning Fucheng Chinese
Not on view
Ning Fucheng, an amateur, was a painter's painter. He lived modestly working as a clerk and studying Han and Qin seal scripts while painting on his own. He exhibited his works only briefly in the 1960s. His paintings, often done with his fingernail and his seal-carving style made a deep impression on other painters.
The man's character is well reflected in the image he chose for this painting—an orchid, unattended, clinging to the crevices of an isolated rock, unleashing its intense fragrance into the mountain air.
