This handsome silk waistcoat (馬褂背心) is literally a walking art masterpiece, depicting details from HKMoA’s priceless art painting “Wine Pots and Chrysanthemums” by world-revered Chinese contemporary master artist Qi Baishi.This Mandarin collar waistcoat can be worn over western attire or over a Tang/kung-fu long robe (長袍).
The painting “Wine Pot and Chrysanthemums” was a gift from the renowned Chinese painting master, Qi Baishi, in honor of his friend He Hanyu's 60th birthday celebration. Qi utilized an expressive freehand brushstroke technique to depict a pot of wine, with a foreground of red, yellow, and white chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemum leaves are outlined heavily and subtly brushed with ink. Chrysanthemums bloom in the desolate autumn, symbolizing the elderly with a healthy body, while wine is associated with celebrating the new year and wishing for longevity, conveying the painter's best wishes of “longevity with chrysanthemums and wine.”
