Eight Great Mountain People - Hachidaisanjin (English spelling) Ba-da-shan-ren

Japanese: 八大山人 - はちだいさんじん（英語表記）Ba-da-shan-ren

[Live] Tiankei 6 (1626). Jiangxi, Nanchang
[Died] Kangxi 44 (1705)
A Chinese painter from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Born into the royal family of the Ming dynasty. His secular surname was Zhu, and his given name was Tang, but it is unclear. After the fall of the Ming dynasty, he became a monk and had many Buddhist names and titles, including Chuanqi, Xuege, Renya, and Geshan. As a high-ranking monk, he had many disciples, but was later arrested by the county magistrate and went insane (one theory is that he faked insanity). He escaped and returned to Nanchang, where he spent his time painting and calligraphy. His bird-and-flower paintings, inspired by Ming painters Shen Zhou and Xu Wei, and his landscape paintings influenced by Dong Qichang, appeal sharply to people's hearts, and both display a highly individualistic, simple brushwork and rich expressive content. His representative work is "Anwanjo" (Izumiya Hakukokan).

中国，明末，清初の遺民画家。明の王族として生れた。俗姓は朱，名はとうというが明らかではない。明の滅亡後僧となり伝綮，雪个，人屋，个山 (かざん) など多くの法名と号をもった。高僧として多くの弟子がいたが，のち県令に捕えられ発狂 (一説に発狂を装ったともいわれる) 。脱走して南昌に帰り，書画をかいて過した。人の心に鋭く訴え，明の沈周，徐渭に触発された花鳥画，董其昌の影響を受けた山水画も，ともに著しく個性的で簡略な筆致を示し，豊かな表現内容をもつ。代表作は『安晩帖』 (泉屋博古館) 。
