Qi Baishi Chinese
Not on view
Qi Baishi delighted in visual puns and rebuses. Here, the combination of cockscomb (jiguan 雞冠) and rooster (gongji 公雞) evokes the phrase “may you rise in rank” (guanshang jiaguan 官上加官), a wish for professional promotion. Qi inscribed the second half of this phrase as the title of the painting at top right.
