About this seller
Product description
A large, abstract painting divided into geometric planes with different colors and text in Chinese and Greek. The artwork combines elements of abstract art with calligraphy in several languages.
The Chinese text is written vertically on the left, and the Greek text is written vertically on the right.
The colors in the painting are primarily yellow, blue, red, orange, and black. Signature unknown. It is old and shows signs of wear. We are currently undertaking some restoration work on this impressive piece.
Chinese text (left):
No document/writing begins underfoot.
Whoever acts, fails; whoever clings, loses the text.
Maru Bo (Japanese name/term): Non-integrated embrace of a tree born in righteousness.
Nine-story tower begins with earth that accumulates.
Greek text (right):
One who speaks
According to/according to reasons/words
This with infinite things
Of the one who tries, in word, in deed, I tell.
Meaning: The lyrics seem to have a philosophical or poetic meaning, possibly related to growth, integration and ambition.
