EDITORS COMMENTS
Ksien-Ku, one of the Pa Hsien, or Eight Immortals, is depicted in this vibrant and intricately detailed color print from Chinese art history. The female immortal, a central figure in Taoist mythology, is shown here in an upright position, her serene expression and flowing robes conveying her otherworldly and transcendent nature. Ksien-Ku, also known as Chang'O or Chang-O, is a beloved figure in Chinese folklore and mythology. According to legend, she consumed the elixir of immortality, which her husband, the archer Dou Mu, had discovered, and ascended to the heavens, becoming an immortal. This beautiful and intricately designed print, which originated in China but is now housed in the National Library in Paris, France, showcases the rich artistic traditions of Chinese culture. The Pa Hsien, or Eight Immortals, are a popular subject in Chinese art, and Ksien-Ku is often depicted as a graceful and elegant figure, embodying the ideals of beauty, grace, and transcendence. The use of color in this print is particularly noteworthy, with bold hues and intricate patterns adding depth and dimension to the image. The vertical orientation of the print further emphasizes the verticality of Ksien-Ku's figure, drawing the viewer's eye upward and conveying a sense of spiritual ascent. Overall, this print is a stunning example of the rich artistic traditions of Chinese culture, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the mythic figure of Ksien-Ku, one of the Pa Hsien, the Eight Immortals of Taoism.
