Subject:Please help with antique Chinese fan painting artists
Posted By: Nancy Wed, Jun 01, 2016 IP: 50.171.19.113

Hello, I bought these two beautiful fan paintings awhile back and am curious about who might have painted them. I have done quite a bit of research but haven't been able to find the same seals and I cannot read Chinese. Thank you for your time

please post clear photos of the left half of both inscriptions. there is biographical information in each but your current photos either truncate it or are not clear enough. some nice ink tonality but all "flesh", little "bone"; probably both 19th century/first half 20th century works

Subject:A ming dynasty poem on the fan
Posted By: Super Mon, Jun 06, 2016

书庭蕉
明• 王过仁
檐前蕉叶绿成林。
长夏全无暑气侵。
但得雨声连夜静。
何妨月色半床阴。
新诗旧叶题将遍。
老调疏桐恨传深。
莫笑郑人谈讼鹿。
至今醒梦两难寻。


The other fan has the first four sentences of a Chinese poem (eight sentences with 7 characters in each) that was written by a Ming dynasty poet 王过仁 using the banana tree in front of his study as the title of his poem.

Again, should not mix two art works together. Very difficult to focus.

Looks like Japanese and looks like poetry! All i got, sorry.

I do not know why anybody would think either one would be Japanese? Both are Chinese.

The poem is: (four sentences with 7 characters in each)


3.結子高標百尺株,白頭有意對青梧,非為偕老成佳兆,又筭螽斯衍慶圖,李鱓

Pictures on left, second from top

The one you posted is apparently done by a different artist. May be rat can help.

It is very confusing when you posted two art works at the same time. In the future, should focus in one work withing one posting.

Super

Thank you so much-very interesting information!!! I appreciate it so much-it adds so much depth and richness to the paintings for me to get a better understanding of them-in the future I will post them separately!
