Description

A beautiful novella in 50 short chapters and 10 pictures about the life of one of the most influential Chinese painter of all time, Bada Shanren. A unique amalgam of word and picture pictures: the last chapter consists of a single painted dot in the middle of the page.

Summary

In 1626, Bada Shanren is born into the Chinese royal family. When the old Ming Dynasty crumbles, he becomes an artist, committed to capturing the essence of nature with a single brushstroke. Then the rulers of the new Qing Dynasty discover his identity and Bada must feign madness to escape.
