Red bamboo is a classical subject matter among scholars such as Su Shi of Northern Song. He painted bamboo with a few strokes at leisure. This painting was created by Pu on a paper showing qualities of the brush. The stem was sketched with wet ink, while the leaves were completed with swift cursive strokes on dry brush. The branches were completed with seal script. The downward dropping leaves were swiftly painted with strength. Pu Hsin-yu excelled in painting with gongbi strokes. By adding the spider and its web in between the bamboo, the composition brings the focus to the center, balancing the scattered bamboo leaves. Spiders were considered as a blessing, enhancing the message brought by the red bamboo. From this work, Pu respected traditions while bringing realistic nature to the paper panel and displayed the artist’s exceptional skills as an ink master.
