I went to a recent book fair a charity sake of used books and found a copy of late 1980s copies of Chinese Literature a magazine you used to see in some libraries or leftwing bookshops.
I used to buy an issue now n then if I was in the city from one particular ship now closed because I also visited for the chinese art materials and the translations of chinese poetry
No not Wills Quills at Chatswood but a store down in Sydneys version of Chinatown
Anyway the mnagazine had an article on a 20th century chinese painter and tbis one i m age caught my eye because it featured the Li Shu script variant of Chinese characters.
The illustration was printed on a rather shiny paper so the image is not perfect.
Hers another image showing most of the painting as illustrated in the magazine.
I t didnt say whether he used paper or silk.
Huang Qiu Yuan is the painter and the Chinese literature issue was Spring 1987
Sorry if I havnt posted for a while but I want to have something special to share
Next time probably Haiku again!
