(1921-2007)
On a summer day of jiwei year, I found this hollyhocks painting in an old bamboo chest, which I painted in gengzi year. Twenty years have
passed since then, and this painting was executed when I first entered a new phase of stylistic and technical changes. Inscribed by Cheng
Shifa in Shanghai.
