Subject:QI BAISHI FROGS AND TADPOLES PAINTING
Posted By: carlos Thu, Sep 29, 2016 IP: 58.182.236.113 Would anyone happen to know if there is a database available for Qi Baishi's works (as in a compendium or book online or print). I am trying to validate a painting entitled Frogs and Tadpoles 1953 with a gallery mark on the back. The only image available online is in black and white. The painting I am looking into is in full color and appears to be genuine. I have not analyzed the pixels under a microscope or lens to determine if it is a print. I essentially would like to know if this is a known piece housed in a museum or collection. Hours of internet research have provided nothing. Thank you very much for your assistance and time. |

Posted By: carlos callirgos Sun, Oct 02, 2016 Thank you for the information and your assistance. Especially with the ink leak through the back. Funnily enough, Rong Bao Zhai never made a print of this particular piece. I've gone through thousands of photos of the prints they made don't match this one. Although Master Qi made many variations of the frogs and tadpoles I am hoping that this was one of his originals that was lost between the time he was showing his works in London and the time his works were properly cataloged. |
