Untitled (Feeding the Geese)
Artist Unknown
Gouache on paper, unsigned.
For nearly 70 years, Chinese state-sanctioned amateur artists have been depicting the country’s social, political, and economic transformation through painting, leading in 1988 to the designation by China’s Ministry of Culture of 35 villages across the country as "Chinese Modern Folk Painting Villages."
While provenance of this work is unknown, it is likely an example of Jinshan-style peasant painting which has its origins in the embroidery and stove paintings of southern China. The style emerged in the 1980's in a post-cultural revolution era and commonly features gentle, depoliticized pastoral scenes.
Provenance : acquired at auction by Bohaus Art.
