Bamboo in Four Seasons: Autumn is a 1324 unspecified by Unknown, a Song Landscape work, depicting Bamboo, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a tall bamboo stalk bending in the wind, leaves swirling like green snowflakes against a pale background. This painting is one of four scrolls showing bamboo through the seasons. The artist used dry brushstrokes—almost like calligraphy—to make the leaves look light and fluttery. It was made during the Yuan dynasty, when Chinese artists often painted bamboo to show resilience and flexibility. To see more of this quiet, poetic style, look up *china, yuan dynasty (1271-1368)*.
