Hsu Heng (act. mid-19th cent.)
Ch’ing Dynasty
Hsu Heng (style name Chu-p’ing; sobriquets Chu-p’ing, Hsiao-t’ao) was a native of Shanghai. A follower of Shih Jun-ch’un, he excelled in landscape painting. He especially admired the styles of Shen Chou and Li Liu-fang of the Ming dynasty, and he also learned from the Sung and Yuan masters. In addition, he was skilled in clerical calligraphy.
Hsu Heng has painted fresh and delicate hibiscus. He used light ink to paint the contours of the petals amd boneless (mo-ku) method for the leaves. Two bees, painted with rattan yellow, seem to stand out from the picture plane as they fly about, adding an element of animation to the rather flat flowers.
This painting is the tenth leaf in the album Yi-lin ch’ing-shang.
