(PITH PAINTINGS).
Album of 12 Water-Colour Paintings of Courtiers
China c.1870. 8vo. 20 x 15 cm. Album of contemporary patterned cloth covered boards with 12 leaves of finely coloured illustrations on pith paper each secured with blue silk border. 4 of the images with just minimal cracking. Pith came into use for painting to satisfy the increasing demand for small inexpensive and easily transported souvenirs following the massive growth in the China Trade in the first half of the nineteenth century. Paintings in oils on board and canvas were costly and difficult to carry home. Earlier and more prestigious export water-colours had often been on a larger scale and painted on fine Chinese paper or on paper imported from Europe. The albums of pith paintings and later the little glass-fronted boxes were inexpensive light easy to pack and gave the pictures some protection on the long voyage home. Because many were sold in albums and hence protected from the light they retain their bright colours to this day. Pith comes from the central column of spongy cellular tissue in the stem of a small tree called Tetrapanax Papyrifera native to south-west China. It has had a variety of some going back many centuries. At the imperial court both men and women wore coloured flowers made from pith in their hair. For use in painting it is cut by hand with a knife into thin sheets from short lengths of the spongy tissue. Cutting is highly skilled and the constraints of the process mean that the finished sheets for painting seldom if ever measure more than about 30cms by 20cms. The sheets are dried trimmed and used for painting without any further processing. Because of the nature of pith and its cellular structure the gouache used by the Chinese sat on the surface and produced a bright and even sparkling effect. Very fine detail could be achieved but pith did not lend itself to the flat wash of colour favoured for European watercolours. These albums are difficult to date specifically as they are seldom signed and never actually dated. They are known to have been produced from the 1830s through to the 1870s [China, c.1870] hardcover

[CHINESE PITH PAINTINGS]
ALBUM OF 30 FISH ON 12 SHEETS
18. CHINESE PITH PAINTINGS. ALBUM OF 30 FISH ON 12 SHEETS. Album of 12 sheets of pith approximately 19 x 26 cm each mounted onto pages within covers approx. 24.7 x 34.3 cm covered in brocade with ties. A wonderful mid-19th century example of this realistic genre which uses the three dimensionality afforded by the surface of the inner plant pith of the Tetrapanax papyriferum a ginseng relative that grow to the size of a small tree shaved as here into thin sheets and painted with opaque colors. The fish sparkle and the colors glow the fish accuraely depicted in form and color. Pith by its very nature is extremely fragile and larger sheets such as those employed here even more than usually frangible. Thus the completeness of the sheets with almost no lost pigmeted sections is most unusual. The covers are a bit worn though as usual the paintings show occasional cracking and repair but a worthy example of its kind. unknown

Original wooden boards hand-lettered label mounted on front cover scuffed some loss to wear rubbing splitting to covers horizontally but sound minor closed tear to inner front pastedowns occasional minor dustsoiling & thumbing still a VG- exemplar. An extraordinary album of intimately inked and coloured paintings on paper by the famed Qing Dynasty painter with each leaf inscribed by the artist with a couplet poem and with two seals. One shows a Chinese scholar and young boy or novice leaning into the wind with the couplet “Having endured the weather welcoming the colour of Autum; Together with ice and frost proud of one’s years.†Another with a fisherman seated on a mat his hat hung over the creel and holding the fishing rod ending with “preserve in brush and tongue and catch a giant turtle.†One shows an apparently drunk official sprawled on cushions surrounded by vases and ceramic ware entitled “How can Little Cao endure the tyranny of Princess Hu†One painting in the series draws from a couplet that appears often in ancient Chinese poetry anthologies and even a poetry manual depicted with well-dressed bearded official facing a stooped elder stating “Asked what is the Zen mind there is nothing to say; White clouds ceaselessly fly in the blue sky.â€The seventh painting in the album illustrates two finely dressed individuals with one bearing a short sword strapped to his back and the other holding a speckled deer sporting a riding blanket and the couplet version: 霜冷玄猿ä¾è—¥ç¶ which does appear in such early anthologies as A New Collection of Entertainment Collections 應酬彙é¸æ–°é›† 尺牘 帖å¼. The final painting in the album appears to be another version of Huang Shen’s scroll painting in the Taipei Palace Museum entitled “Bo Le judges horses†清黃慎畫伯樂相馬圖軸. The painting depicts a similarly dressed Chinese hostler with different headgear with emphasis on the pair of horses and alternate hat between the two. The version in this album allowing more horizontal space features an additional horse with much finer definition and no large overhanging tree. The couplet in both reads “Two fine steeds already led by master equestrian Wang Liang; They shall bee Bo Le’s approval at a glance. Huang Shen’s 1687-1772 painting style paralleled his calligraphy often with a similar fluidity and organic flow to the figures and objects. Born originally in Ninghua Fujian Province he began his training under Shangguan Zhou and after moving to Yangzhou in 1724 to make his living as a painter he developed a style matching the tastes of his clients. He eventually became known as a figure painter and as one of the Eight Eccentrics from Yangzhou local artists known for their unorthodox painting style. Although his individual scrolls appear in the market on a consistent basis his albums such as this one are quite scarce. Huang Shen, é»„ç››ä¹‹å° hardcover
