This is a brush painting by Chinese artist Qi Baishi. This work was done in 1950, and is entitled "Tallow Trees and Mynas." The tree painted here is the Chinese tallow tree, which is found all over in the villages of South China. The two myna birds are an expression of the artist's longing for the home of his youth. We chose this piece because it is a well-know form of Chinese art, and it illustrates life in southern China.
