🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"Why does a line drawn by a rough hand strike the heart all the more?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is one of twelve landscape sheets the Qing painter Gao Qipei made with his fingers. In place of the brush's smoothness, the rough marks the fingers left form mountain and water. In those unpolished lines, rather, the painter's touch and breath remain just as they were. The resonance of candor within roughness carries anywhere. Here I see the virtue of the unpolished. Polish too smoothly, and the trace of the person is erased. What holds sincerity, though a little rough, stays longer in the heart than what is only flawlessly smooth.
