Gao Qipei (Chinese: 高其佩; pinyin: Gāo Qípeì; 1660–1734) was born in Tieling to a family of Manchu ethnicity. He found success as an official in southern China; however, he is now primarily recognized for his achievements as a painter.
Artistic Career
Initially, he earned recognition as an artist who did landscapes and figures in the traditional style. By the age of twenty, he had become known as an eccentric, who preferred using his hands -palms, fingers, nails- in place of a traditional Chinese brush.[1] This style had precedents as Zhang Zao also preferred finger painting, but Gao Qipei went further. He grew his fingernails long to make them more effective instruments, and used his entire hand to create a highly individualized style.
