LUO QING (Lo Ch'ing, 1948 –). 罗青 Moon, Ink and colour on paper, the calligraphy 19 x 34cm, the painting 34 x 34cm. Executed in 1981. Literature: ‘Lo Ch’ing’s Painting’, New Literature and Arts, number 318, September 1982. The blending of Lo Ch’ing’s lively painting style with his own original poetry make a true heir to the traditions of Chinese literati painting. The poem included here is transcribed thus: 金黃的弦月高掛天空， 所有我蕉林都彎腰膜拜， 向那純美無瑕的彎度行最敬禮， 並全心全意以心中所結的串串香蕉來模倣讚美弦月的美學。 模倣讚美弦月的美學。 and may be translated: High above the moon reclines, a golden crescent form./ Banana trees below, bowed heads in deference conform,/ To praise its pure and flawless curves, Which they themselves help to preserve,/ On every branch the fruit adorn. (the calligraphy 19 x 34cm, the painting 34 x 34cm.)
