Chinese Calligraphy - "Huangshan Paiyun Pavilion" by Wu Chunshan Appraisal
Category: Calligraphy
Description
Framed Chinese calligraphy on paper in vertical format. The calligraphy is in traditional script and appears to be a poem or prose about Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) focusing on the Paiyun Pavilion (排雲亭). It is signed '吳春山書' (Wu Chunshan Shu) and dated '一九八五年秋寫作教上海' (Written in Autumn 1985 in Shanghai). The piece is presented in a simple black frame. Despite the additional detail about "Lee Reynolds" in the user prompt, this appears unrelated to the calligraphy itself as there is no indication of it in the image or OCR.
Appraisal Report
This appears to be modern Chinese calligraphy by Wu Chunshan, created in 1985. The script presents a classical poem or prose about the Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) and its famous Paiyun Pavilion (排雲亭), known for its cloud formations. While the calligraphy itself shows some skill, the modern date and lack of information about the artist Wu Chunshan (吳春山) in prominent art circles suggest this is likely a decorative or souvenir piece rather than a work by a well-known master. The value would depend heavily on the materials used (paper quality, ink) and the local market for such decorative art. Without further information about the artist's reputation or exhibitions, it is difficult to provide a precise value. It is unlikely to have significant monetary value from an art investment perspective.
