Chen Shuren excelled in Flower and Bird paintings. He was one of the Three Greatest Masters in Lingnan School of Art. Chen’s paintings are unique in terms of representation of subjects, with simple brushstrokes and colour application, which is different from those promoted by the Gao brothers. Chen structures his paintings with Geometric Structure or Golden Structure. Chen discourage excessive use of brushwork and complicated subject matters. In fact he promoted individuality and unique creation, instead of following traditional compositions and brushwork. Chen emphasized the depiction of forms of plants and their representation through colours, instead of sketches their forms by the use of lines. Such manifesto was innovative during such period of art creation. This work was painted in 1943. The bottom left shows a common subject of weird formed rock in a Chinese garden. A tree stands behind the rock with a warbling white-eye on the tree. White pink flowers scattered next to the rock along with few other species of plants, suggesting a flourishing scene of summer.
