In these drawings, most likely done from life, Xie explores, from various angles, the sensual beauty of the lotus"s flowers and leaves. Using firm, precise lines, he records the plant"s entire life cycle, from dewy bud to full blossom, as well as its occasionally tattered leaves and blighted petals. His crisp delineation of the stalks demonstrates his solid discipline in calligraphy.
