Artist: Jin Xiya
Date: 1924
Size: 33 x 46 cm
Technique: Carved
In addition to demonstrating the talent of bamboo carver Jin Xiya, this object features painting and calligraphy by important contemporary artists. Jin Xiya’s older brother Jin Cheng, a senior figure in Beijing painting and collecting circles, painted the grapevines. The calligraphy on the back of the fan is by Chen Baochen, a loyalist government official who continued to serve the last emperor even after the fall of the imperial Qing dynasty. Jin Xiya further embellished the fan with two poems by Wu Changshuo (1844–1927)—doyen of the Shanghai art scene—which he carved on its outer ribs.
