EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and enchanting colour woodblock print titled "Xishang meixiao (Looking happy) Suzhou" takes us back to 17th century China, showcasing the exquisite talent of Gusu Ding Liangxian. The print, now part of a private collection, captures the essence of Asian beauty and nature. In this scene, we are transported to a blossoming garden where delicate magpies perch on a branch adorned with vibrant flowers. The intricate details in each petal and feather bring life to the artwork, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony. The artist's mastery is evident in his ability to capture not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth within this piece. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the joy emanating from these cheerful birds amidst nature's bounty. The use of colour adds another layer of richness to this already stunning composition. The soft pinks and whites of the cherry blossoms contrast beautifully against the deep blues and blacks of both sky and bird feathers. This woodblock print serves as a testament to Chinese artistry that has stood the test of time. It reminds us of our connection with nature and how its beauty can inspire happiness within us all.
