								Finger painting by Gao Qipei </font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">高其佩 </font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(1660-1734).<br />
							</font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">He was also known by his designated name Weizhi </font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">伟之</font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">.<br />
								and his literary name, Qieyuan </font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">且园</font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">. He was born in Tieling, Liaoning Province and was from a Manchu family.<br />
								As a Manchu he achieved a high rank as a civil servant under the Kanxi (1662-1722) and<br />
								Yongzheng (1723-1735) emperors. His position allowed him to devote much of his time to his painting.<br />
							</font><font size="-1" color="white" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">He is well known for his highly individualistic style and techniques. He developed finger painting in new directions.<br />
								When painting, the fingers and nails are dipped in ink. The nails are kept very long, especially the thumb nail. By using different<br />
								surfaces of the nails and fingers, the painter has full control over the quick, deft strokes needed to keep his subject<br />
								lively and in motion.<br />
