Gao Qipei
Gao Qipei (; 1660–1734) was born in Tieling to a family of Manchu ethnicity. He found success as an official in southern China; however, he is now primarily recognized for his achievements as a painter. Artistic Career Initially, he earned recognition as an artist who did landscapes and figures in the traditional style. By the age of twenty, he had become known as an eccentric, who preferred using his hands -palms, fingers, nails- in place of a traditional Chinese brush. This style had precedents as Zhang Zao also preferred finger painting, but Gao Qipei went further. He grew his fingernails long to make them more effective instruments, and used his entire hand to create a highly individualized style.

Zhu Yuanzhang, orphaned during this time of chaos, joined a Buddhist monastery as a novice monk, where he occasionally begged for alms to sustain himself, gaining an understanding of the struggles faced by ordinary people, while harboring disdain for scholars who only gained knowledge from books. In 1352, he joined a rebel division, quickly distinguishing himself among the rebels and rising to lead his own army. In 1356, he conquered Nanjing and established it as his capital. He formed his own government, consisting of both generals and Confucian scholars, rejecting Mongol rule ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Before that, he was one of the principal figures in the Yuan dynasty's Jinhua school of Neo-Confucianism.

In Asian historiography, the ''History of Yuan'' is a major source for the study of the histories of the Han, Tungusic, Mongol, and ...

Portrait Of Song Lian By Gu Jianlong
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face is always predominant.
