Bamboo and Rock is a 1506 by Unknown, depicting Bamboo, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a tall stalk of bamboo bending beside a jagged rock, ink on paper. The artist left no name, but the brushwork is alive—each leaf and knot feels like it was painted in one quick breath. This kind of painting was meant to hang in a scholar’s room, not a palace. If you like this quiet strength, look up *china, ming dynasty (1368-1644) or later*.
