What is the poem about
《画》
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.
—Simonides of Ceos
What are the similarities between painting and poetry
Both painting and poetry are art forms that express beauty. Painting expresses beauty by means of colours, light and shapes while poetry does the same by means of sounds, words and abstract images.
Both are well worth appreciating as they provide us with artistic pleasure.

2 What famous painters and paintings do you know about
Qi Baishi (1864~1957) enjoyed painting many different animals, landscapes and still life scenes.
He favoured using heavy ink in bright colours and he used an energetic burshwork style. In his famous work, Shrimps Playing Around, even though the painting may appear to be simple, the distinctive features of each shrimp can be clearly recognised. The painting is a good representitive of Chinese ink paintings.
