Description
This ink painting titled "Morning Glory" was created by the artist Wang Yi, showcasing the elegant winding posture of the morning glory vine. The pink morning glories appear particularly vivid against the lightly inked leaves and vines, presenting a bright spot in the composition. The narrow vertical format of the painting enhances the visual effect of the morning glory climbing upwards, symbolizing vitality and growth. The poetic and philosophical inscription next to the painting, "Once led up to the eaves, not to be seen by passersby," expresses an appreciation for the beauty of things that should not be casually displayed but appreciated in higher, more hidden places. This reflects not only the growth characteristics of the morning glory but also symbolizes that some beauties need to be carefully sought and appreciated to be discovered.
