The Northern Song hermit poet Lin Bu is widely admired ofr his image as a noble scholar who took "the plum blossom as a wife and the crane as a son," and related artistic creations have never ceased through the ages.
TRhis scroll was created by the Lingnasn School master Au Honien (1935 - 2024). The school has always taken "eclecticizing East and West, and fusing the ancient with the modern" as its objective.
This work features strong and vigorous brush momentum, het the washes are even and clean, creating a hazy light and shadow that suggests a transcendent, fairy-like air. The painting was gifted to former Director Chiang Tusung in 1982; it vividly captures the composure and serenity of the scholar sitting alone beneath a plum tree as a white crane circles above.
