The artwork "Wisteria And Bee" is painted by the artist Qi Baishi who was one of the most beloved and well-known Chinese artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. He continued to travel and meet an ever larger array of artists, which led him to turn to the xieyi mode of painting, which required experience but relied on spontaneous applications of paint led by the spirit. He expanded his subject matter to figures, animals, vegetation and landscape and began to incorporate rich color into his compositions, painting in an ever-freer style. His works are focused on the spiritual, ephemeral and mystical qualities of the human condition.
