DAIXS1 Dai Qihe: XI SHAN WO YOU. (Dreams of Journeys amidst Streams and Hills). 溪山卧游 。 戴启和 繪. N.p., 2009. Album of 12 original paintings, each with colophon. 29x22 cm. Accordion-style album. GBP 6,000.00 Dai Qihe was born in 1955 in Heilongjiang province in China. His work is that of the new literati school of painting (xin wenren hua) and this is a marvellous such example. It depicts twelve imaginary landscape scenes of hills and streams painted throughout the year, most with a solitary figure, hut or small boat. The style very much emulates traditional painting albums and, indeed, the colophons on a number of the paintings include the characters 'fanggu' - emulating the old. Dai Qihe was a student of the master painter, Zhou Shaohua. The size of each painting is 22 x 29 cm. They are painted on a paper that contains a coarse fibre of a slightly darker colour that cleverly gives the impression of flowing or turbulent water or swirling mist and fog. Bought at Rongbaozhai in Beijing in 2010. Images available on request. Subjects: Painting Item 248 in List 214.
