'CHRYSANTHEMUM AND CRICKETS' BY QI BAISHI (1864-1957), DATED 1951China. Ink and watercolors on paper, with a silk brocade frame and mounted as a hanging scroll. Depicting chrysanthemums, virtuously painted in bright tones of pink and yellow, below two small crickets, and with a crisply executed inscription. The hardwood scroll handles with distinct 'crabs claw' marks, indicating that they are carved from zitan wood.Expert's note: In 1919, when Qi Baishi was 57, he moved to Beijing, trying to make a living by selling his paintings and carving seals. He became friends with Chen Shizeng (1876-1923), who convinced him to fundamentally change the style of his work, which was selling poorly as it failed to win local favor. His new and unique approach of strong color contrasts became popular quickly and has influenced generations of painters ever after. Qi claimed that flowers, insects and birds are inseparable subject matters. They are also the most numerous and representative subjects among Qi's body of works - "When depicting flowers one must also add insects or birds to give life and invigorate the painting." Qi outlines the delicate veins of the chrysanthemum leaves with scrupulously painted brushstrokes, rendering them almost translucent. The chrysanthemum flowers, in contrast, are painted with powerful, firm and broad strokes, somewhat reminding viewers of Qi's humble origin as a calligrapher and seal carver. Qi positioned two insects in the void of the painting, with space for viewers to appreciate the form of these small creatures. His insects are meticulously and accurately depicted, the result of rigorous sketching and prolonged observation and study. Even before Qi began to paint insects prolifically, the artist kept insects and small animals at his home, where he would watch their body movements. Qi set the painting at the end of the summer, when the chrysanthemum flowers are still in full splendor but the foliage has already started to wilt very slightly, using harmonious hues of gray, green and ochre, signifying the change of season. Qi Baishi's incorporation of insects remains innovative to this day and represents a pinnacle in his later artistic career.Inscriptions: Upper right 'To Mr. Zhuren by Baishi Laoren at the age of 87 years', two seals 'Qi Baishi' and 'Lao Mu'. Lower left, one seal, 'Qianshanguan'. Paper label to one wood handle, 'Baishi, Chrysanthemum and Cricket'. Provenance: From an important American collection. Condition: Excellent condition with some wear, minor soiling to the mounting, little foxing, the watercolors slightly rubbing off onto the backside of the scroll. Small chips to the wood handles. Dimensions: Image size 103.5 x 33.5 cm, Size incl. mounting 208.5 x 49.5 cm Qi Baishi (1864-1957) is one of the world's most important artists of the 20th century and has received countless honors and awards like no other painter in the People's Republic of China. He began his career as a carpenter, though he taught himself to paint using a manual from the Qin dynasty period. His style, which Qi Baishi developed in the second half of his life, is characterized by a powerful, spontaneous brushstroke. He expanded his subject matter to insects, birds, figures, animals, vegetation, and landscapes, and began to incorporate rich color into his compositions, painting in an ever-freer style. His works are focused on the spiritual, ephemeral, and mystical qualities of the human condition. In 1953, he was elected president of the China Artists Association, and one year later he was elected to the National People's Congress.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 3 April 2017, lot 1371Price: HKD 1,500,000 or approx.

Provenance: Lightwater, Surrey: From: Jamie Mandeville Date: 13 September 2022 at 1:26:24 pm BST Subject: Clocks. My parents started to care for Mr and Miss Moore in approx 1974, Mr Moore was John Moores grandson, he was Edward Gorden Moore, and his dad was Edward Lock Moore, John Moores son. The regulator was a gift to Edward Gordon Moore from his dad on his dads 80th birthday (see paper attached) Edward Lock would have owned this clock form when it was made by his dad John Moore. Miss Moore died first in 1979 and Edward Gordon died in 1984. These clocks made by the Moore family then went to my parents and have never been on the market for sale.
