Introduction
The Former Residence of Qi Baishi (1863-1957), a well-known Chinese artist, is located near the western entrance of Picai Lane in the West City District.
History & Background
Artists and VIPs from all over the world converged at Qi Baishi' s home in the seven or eight years before his death in1957.
Though the government had given him another house on the east side, he preferred his own garden, full of the more mundane crops, such as towel-gourd, peanuts, pumpkins, grapes and morning glory. His famous works "Towel-Gourd and a Bee," "Grapes and a Dragonfly," are all taken from the yard on Picai Lane.
About Qi Baishi
Qi Baishi, of Hunan Province, had traveled around the country on his earlier years, selling paintings and carving seals to make a living.
He settled down in Beijing at the age of 57, and gradually his style of painting began to change. Combining traditional freehand brushwork and folk art, he produced a unique art form centering on flowers, birds, insects, and fish. Simple and bold, each colorful painting was achieved with only a few strokes. In his later years he focused on calligraphy and seal carving and served in the early 1950s as chairman of the Chinese Artists' Association.
