Plum blossoms

Chen Banding Chinese

Not on view

Chen Banding studied with the prominent Shanghai-based painter Wu Changshuo, whose loose, sketchy manner of flower painting built upon seventeenth- and eighteenth-century precedents). This striking plum suggests the manner of Jin Nong (1687–1763), a favorite of Chen’s.
