Surmounting Waves Flying Wings by Zhuyong Original Watercolor on Silk

越波飛翼 (Yuè bō fēi yì) by 朱永
Surmounting Waves Flying Wings by ZhuYong
Image, 26.5"H x 40.5"W
Frame, 35.5"W 49.5"W . 1.5"D
A Chinese painting featuring two cranes in flight against a backdrop of stylized waves. The painting is rendered in traditional Chinese style, with flowing brushstrokes and a muted color palette dominated by blues, whites, and earth tones. The cranes are depicted with detailed plumage, their wings outstretched as they soar through the air. The waves are represented in a swirling, abstract manner, suggesting movement and energy. Chinese painting is known for its emphasis on capturing the essence of the subject matter rather than a literal representation, and this piece exemplifies that approach. The use of ink and color on silk or paper is typical of this art form, as is the focus on natural themes such as birds and landscapes. he style is reminiscent of traditional Chinese ink wash painting, which emphasizes brushwork and capturing the spirit of the subject. The swirling water and mountain details could also be interpreted as fractal art...

Le Avventure di Cerbiattino - Original Illustrated tale by Sandro Nardini - 1940
By Italo Orsi
Located in Roma, IT
Le Avventure di Cerbiattino ("The Adventures of the Little Fawn") is an original artwork realized by Sandro Nardini in the 1950s. Tempera, china ink, and pencil on paper. Very good conditions.
This artwork includes 24 unbound sheets: 10 numbered and 14 unnumbered sheets. The numeration is written in pencil on the back of each sheet. It is an artist's proof for the illustrated book "The adventures of the Little Fawn" (original Italian title: "Le Avventure di Cerbiattino"). The artworks are lovely for the brilliance and the vividness of the colors: one episode of the story is represented on each sheet.
The first sheet is the cover of the book. The main characters of the story are: the butterfly, the frog, the bird, the wolf, the porcupine, the hare, and the fawn. In the center of the composition, "Le Avventure di Cerbiattino Racconto e disegni di Sandro...
