Modern Chinese Paintings: The Reyes Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Pan Tianshou was a follower of Wu Changshuo (1844-1927) and his brushwork style derives from the strong, square forms of Han (206 BC-AD 220) dynasty clerical script. The chick appears in several works by the artist; the use of wet ink soaking into the paper to produce a soft, almost blotted effect is a modern technique often used by Pan Tianshou when painting bamboo and other plants.
