Subject:need help with seal and inscription
Posted By: chandra Tue, Feb 27, 2018 IP: 161.142.107.195

Hi, would appreciate any help I can get with identifying the artist's seals and inscriptions on these Chinese brush paintings. A friend who has knowledge of Chinese calligraphy identifies two of the words as meaning 'mountain' and 'shadow', and the other work as being that of Qiao Mu. Would that be correct?

Reading of the signature on the 1st picture,
山陰任頤伯年 畫 - Shanyin Ren Yi Bonian Picture
The painter is Ren Yi or Ren Bonian,(1840-1896) famous painter
Shanyin (Shady side of the Mountain) is the name of place in Zhejiang where he was born. He used to write it before his signature.
Seal (Upper)
任伯年 - Ren Bonian
Seal (Lower),
頤印 - Seal of Yi
I could find the same imprints of seals in my ID dictionary

2nd Picture,

Signature and seal read alike,
喬木 Qiao Mu
Qiao Mu (1920-1896) a Shanghai painter, specialized himself on flowers and birds. In his later years he was a senior professor at the Fine Arts Institute of Shanghai University.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Correction,
Just have checked my previous answers to postings, finding out that I mistyped the year of death of
Qiao Mu (1920-2002)

I.Nagy
