Early during the Hung-wu period (1368-1398), he held various official positions. He excelled in painting wild geese and reeds, and he was able to capture the misty, cloudy atmosphere of watery regions. He was also adept at painting figures in pai-miao (plain line drawing) and skilled in poetry, belleslettres, and calligraphy. His calligraphy in standard, cursive, clerical, and seal scripts was exquisite, elegant, and unusual. He once took some of his writings in seal script and buried them in a dense grove on a mountain, calling it a tomb of seal script. Chu Fu was a student of Yang Wei-chen who thought very highly of him and praised him saying that he brought honor to his home. On his painting of wild geese, Chu Fu used standard script for the title but clerical script to write about the process of painting this scroll. He also inscribed a poem expressing his emotions. His brushwork is highly varied, and the structure of his characters is a bit disorderly, creating an unususl impression. &*朱芾,字孟辨,號滄洲生,江蘇松江人。洪武(西元一三六八-一三九八年)初官至中書舍人,以工詩,善篆隸行草書法名於世。善畫蘆雁,兼寫山水及白描人物。 本幅畫潦水沙洲,枯柳岩石,群雁聚息蘆叢情景,前人評為極得瀟湘煙水之致。又據自題稱,蘆洲聚雁先畫成,竹叢題跋係數年後所添加,是知亦為其自許之作品。 &*Geese amid Rushes Chu Fu (fl. 1368-1398) Ming Dynasty Chu Fu had tzu (style name) Meng-pien and hao (sobriquet) Ts’ang-chou-sheng. He came from Sung-kiang in Kiangsu. He served as an Imperial Secretary during early Ming period. An excellent poet, he was also renowned for his calligraphy in the seal, clerical, semi-cursive, and cursive scripts. He was an accomplished painter of geese among reeds, as well of landscapes and of drawn figures. This painting shows an expanse of water extending over sandy banks. A flock of geese may be seen resting amid old willows and high rocks. Previous art-lovers have particularly appreciated his sensitive descriptions of water scenes. According to the artist’s inscription on this painting, when he had finished the original painting of geese and rushes, he added the bamboos and inscriptions many years later, on looking again at the work. This indicates the artist’s own satisfaction with his painting.
