After Ko Chung-hsüan's "
Two Peaches on a Branch". Such a simple, beautiful piece. This is a Chinese colour woodcut with the intent by the artist to have that characteristic oriental watercolour appearance. This came from a set of books that combined poems with simple pictures of fruit and flowers - such as this work. Although I scanned this, I have yet to find the accompanying poem - I really want to read it. I love simple art like this - it's so often taken for granted and placed in bathrooms, doomed to be forever unnoticed.
