Chinese Lanscape Painting Attr. to Bada Shanren 八大山人 (1626-1705)

Description

**
This store is where an old collector of Chinese paintings offers for sale items that he finds interesting, beautiful and thought-provoking.
Each buyer is invited to use his/her judgment as to the probability of authenticity of the paintings - that is where the fun of collecting is
.

There are two "official" versions of this landscape painting attributed to
Bada Shanren. One was located in the famous Beijing store Rong Bao Zhai*, while the other is in the Musée Guimet in Paris (this last one probably a forgery by Zhang Daqian).
The present version
bears a signature and a seal attributed to Bada Shanren.

I included a photocopy of it from
八大山人全集
(
"
Complete Works of Badashanren", by Wang Chaowen.)
It is also reproduced on Chinese postal stamps.
This hand-made painting is - in my opinion - truly original and beautiful on its own, independently of the (unknown)
identity of the actual artist
. It is faithful to the spirit of Bada Shanren, one of the most creative Chinese artists ever. Can his originality be successfully imitated? Probably, while the imitator cannot avoid revealing the degree to which he/she has assimilated the unique capacities of the original painter.
