Vintage Chinese Folk Painting Signed (Wood Block Print?) from Estate.<br>This beautiful Chinese folk art was in my parents’ estate. They visited China in the 1980's after Mao ZeDong passed away in 1976 and China became open to foreign visitors. Chinese art went through many changes during the Cultural Revolution but by the late 1970’s influential Chinese artists had seen and were influenced by some European trends and Japanese art.<br>Some of these Chinese artists became part of rural art training academies. The mission was to teach farmers and local peasants to create art that might capture the exuberance of China’s dreamed future. Scenes of animals and flowers, New Year festivals and harvest scenes were popular images in the folk art.<br>This painting is signed and I believe it is wood block printed and hand painted. It dates somewhere between 1976-1986. My parents framed it in a wood, faux bamboo frame which is in excellent, ready to hang condition. The frame has only the smallest ding as seen in picture #7. The other close up reveals a bit of white paint and black paint in the far corner under the signature. It is under the glass on the original work and appears to be a smudge that may have occurred during its creation.<br>I believe the fruits in the work are persimmons which are Chinese symbols of good wishes and fish are associated with wealth, happiness and marital bliss. Since there are a lot of each in this art work, it is not a bad idea to bid and enjoy the protection.😂<br>I will ship it within the continental US. It measures 11 3/4 inches by 11 inches by 1 inch.
