The New Year is coming, and the eyebrows are happy: look at Wang Xuetao's magpie plum blossoms

Wang Xuetao (1903-1982), an accomplished master of flower and bird painting in modern China, has made outstanding contributions to the painting of small freehand flowers and birds in mainland China. He inherited the excellent traditions since the Song and Yuan dynasties, learning from each other's strong points and complementing each other's weaknesses. His works are wide-ranging, exquisitely conceived, shaped like gods, fresh and beautiful, and full of pen and ink interest.
