Excerpt: Qi Baishi (simplified Chinese: traditional Chinese: pinyin: Qi Baishi; Wade-Giles: Ch'i Pai-shih) (January 1, 1864 - September 16, 1957) was an influential Chinese painter. Born to a peasant family from Xiangtan, Hunan, Qi became a carpenter at 14, and learned to paint by himself. After he turned 40, he traveled, visiting various scenic spots in China. After 1917 he settled in Beijing. He is perhaps the most noted for the whimsical, often playful style of his watercolor works. Some of Qi's major influences include the early Qing Dynasty painter Bada Shanren ( or Zhu Da) and the Ming Dynasty artist Xu Wei ( ). His pseudonyms include Qi Huang ( ) and Qi Weiq ng ( ).

In 1953 he was elected to the president of the Association of Chinese Artists. He died in Beijing in 1957. One of his paintings, Eagle Standing on Pine Tree, was sold for 425.5 million yuan ($65.5 million) in 2011, becoming one of the most expensive paintings ever sold at auction.
