@#@@#@內容簡介(英文)@#@Ch’en Heng-K’o (style name Shih-tseng; sobriquets Hsiu-che and Hsiu-tao-jen) was a native of Hsiu-shui, Kianghsi. He was skilled at seal carving and calligraphy, and in painting landscapes he learned the sytles of Shen Chou (1427-1509), Shih T’ao (1642-c. 1707), K’un Ts’an (1612-1673), Shih His (1612-c.1673), and Lan Ying (1585-c. 1664). His brushwork is strong and acerbic. Using more outlining than textual strokes, his brushstrokes are extremely thin yet forceful. His flower and plant paintings are outstanding, unrestrained, and appear very real, never painting strange and out of ordinary forms. He occasionally painted figures and also hsieh-sheng (painting from life) works.
In this painting Ch’en combined the styles of Ch’en Ch’un (1483-1544), Hsu Wei (1521-1543), Hua Yen (1682-1756), Li Shan (1686-1762), and also the style of Wu Ch’ang-shih (1844-1927). This signle peony is gracefully executed with a brush amply soaked in water. The work is completely in the hsieh-yi (painting ideas ) style and also possesses the rich flavor ofantique stoneand –bronze inscription calligraphy.
