The owner's father was an artist, and did several calligraphic pieces for the company in the late 80s and early 90s.

The kid that took over from his folks and ragequit the company one day didn't take much that belonged to his parents, and this was one of the pieces left. I couldn't resist, it's a beautiful piece of artwork. I need to get the Chinese translated, all I know about it is the artist's name and the title of the poem.

What is the artist's name and title of the poem?

[–] • 3 pts

"Spring Time," painted by Timothy Yu at age 78. The artist had a studio in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.

Phenomenal.

I visited an exhibit "The Poetry Of The Zen Masters"

It was calligraphy of Japanese Zen Buddhists from 500 years, first time shown out of Japan. I was blown away by the stylization and the personality in every piece.

Probably sounds trite coming from a Western artist influenced by Dutch Masters but a wholly different yet equally moving style

And this is Chinese you say?

It's all Greek to me

There were other pieces there, including one with eagles, and a large poster-size essay about a fisherman. They were all quite beautiful works, and were about the only thing that was cheerful in the place.

Here's one of the other ones. A co-worker took it.

You sure its chinese? Looks like kanji to me (Japanese). I have no fucking clue tho. Wish i could read it. We need it translated, more often then not such pieces hold great wisdom.

The person that drew it was Chinese, so I have to assume. I don't know until someone gives me a definitive answer, however.

I need to get the Chinese translated

It says. "These birds are stupid."

You're welcome.

Nice picture.

For some reason, I think it says just a little more than that. But who knows?

lol, mechanical translation?

[–] • 1 pt (edited )

yep

used to play an online Chinese game that auto-translated for the global chat, literally everything that came out was utter bollocks "penguin grass skirt" was one memorable line

I did get the solid impression over several years that Chinese teens are all cheating, greedy, selfish, shallow, hyper competitive, basement dwelling, xenophobic, angry cunts, all willing to drop a lot of money on being the top dog in any game with other Chinese in it.

If there's one race that really really wants to make the world a shittier place, then it's that lot

On the plus side, Americans, Germans and Canadians were always great team players

I tried various mechanical translators with no success. The results ranged from amusing to "There's no way that can be that."
