Birds and Flower Painting - The Concept

Birds and flowers have been the popular subjects of Chinese Paintings since antique times. Birds and Flower Painting includes a wide range of natural topics, such as flowers, trees, vegetables, birds, insects, fish, and animals. Existing as an independent art form since Tang Dynasty (618-907), Birds and Flower Painting has evolved from being an ornamental pattern on daily utensils to a mature and an leading genre of former and modern Chinese Art.

The History

During the Pre-Tang period, different patterns of birds and flowers were used on pottery, bronze vessels, and Phoenix Paintings on silk. In the mid and late Tang periods, birds and flowers were used to symbolize the mood of the human figures in paintings. The objects were depicted as metaphoric elements, for example, bamboo personified sage, plum personified a dignified person, lotus was associated with pure heart, orchid represented a gorgeous person, peony was a symbol of wealth and good fortune, etc.

In the Five Dynasties period (907-960), Birds and Flower Painting became a modern of landscape & shape Painting, reaching maturity by the end of Song Dynasty (960-1279). A major advent in this period was to focus on small details, with right brush techniques, to capture a overall view of the subject. Another advent was more distant than the real objects in nature to sketch painter's mind as an Expressionist. By Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), Ink and Wash Painting gained popularity, with plum, orchid, bamboo, and stone as major art themes. However, in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), artists used thick brush strokes to decorate birds and flowers with calligraphy in paintings to additional construe the theme of their artworks. Poem, handwriting, and painting were brought together on a canvas to originate a unblemished view of artist's emotions while this period.

During Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), painters found ways to express themselves more directly straight through free brushwork, giving birth to a freehand style of Birds and Flower art form.
