張柳邨花卉山水帖

張燧 画, 後藤博山 編 · 1924 · 平安精華社 · 12 pictures

A 1924 Japanese reproduction album published by Heian Seikasha, edited by Goto Hakuzan from paintings by the Ming artist Zhang Sui, printed as monochrome photographic plates of flowers, plants and landscapes. The pictures show ink-and-colour brushwork on silk: sprays of blossom and leaves against plain grounds, and a small pavilion by a tree and water. A designer might take loose asymmetric composition, open negative space and the delicate tonal wash of botanical sketching.
