Candidate passages:
Zhang Shengwen (); (active 1163–1189) was a Chinese painter from the Kingdom of Dali (present day Yunnan Province) during the 12th century.
Zhang is known for the "Kingdom of Dali Buddhist Volume of Paintings" (大理國梵像).
The entire work is 30.4 cm tall by 16.655 meters long. 
In 863, a major Dali attack against Tang's Annan District (安南, headquartered in modern Hanoi, Vietnam) captured Annan, and the Tang protector general for Annan, Cai Xi (蔡襲), died while fighting the Dali forces.
They then approached Yong Prefecture (邕州, in modern Nanning, Guangxi), the capital for Lingnan West Circuit (嶺南西道).
The military governor of Lingnan West Circuit, Zheng Yu (鄭愚), who was a career civilian, was fearful of Dali forces and submitted a petition requesting to be replaced by a general.
Then-reigning Emperor Yizong (Emperor Xuānzong's son) recalled Kang to the capital Chang'an, intending to have him replace Zheng, and allowed him to bring several hundred officers and soldiers from Yiwu Circuit.
Upon Kang's arrival in Chang'an, Emperor Yizong commissioned him the military governor of Lingnan West, and also mobilized about 10,000 soldiers from Jingnan (荊南, headquartered in modern Jingzhou, Hubei), Shannan East (山南東道, headquartered in modern Xiangfan, Hubei), Eyue (鄂岳, headquartered in modern Wuhan, Hubei), and Jiangxi (江西, headquartered in modern Nanchang, Jiangxi) Circuits to accompany him to Lingnan West.
After Kang arrived at Yong Prefecture, the Dali attack was intensifying, so Emperor Yizong further mobilized troops from eight other circuits — Zhongwu (忠武, headquartered in modern Xuchang, Henan), Yicheng (義成, headquartered in modern Anyang, Henan), Pinglu (平盧, headquartered in modern Weifang, Shandong), Xuanwu (宣武, headquartered in modern Kaifeng, Henan), Yanhai (兗海, headquartered in modern Jining, Shandong), Tianping (天平, headquartered in modern Tai'an, Shandong), Xuanshe (宣歙, headquartered in modern Xuancheng, Anhui), and Zhenhai (鎮海, headquartered in modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) — to reinforce him.
Kang, however, did not set up a proper scouting system.
As Dali forces approached Yong Prefecture, Kang sent the troops from six circuits to engage them, using the local Liao (獠) tribesmen as guides; the Liao led the Tang forces into an ambush by Dali forces, and the troops of five circuits were annihilated, with only the Tianping forces, because they were late by one day, escaping the ambush.
In the aftermaths, Kang was gripped by fear, and the defenses for Yong Prefecture were actually built by his deputy Li Xingsu (李行素).
As soon as Li completed the defenses, Dali forces arrived and put Yong Prefecture after siege.
For four days, Yong Prefecture was under attack, and it almost fell.
A number of officers suggested counterattacking, but Kang initially refused, relenting only after repeated pleas by a low-level officer from Tianping.
At night, that Tianping officer took 300 volunteers and made a surprise attack on the Dali camp, setting it on fire and killing some 500 Dali soldiers.
In shock, the Dali forces withdrew.
Only then did Kang launch his main forces to try to chase down the Dali forces, but was unable to; they killed only some 300 Liao who were forced to cooperate with the Dali forces.
Kang nevertheless submitted a report claiming a great victory.
Emperor Yizong, in response, bestowed on Kang the honorific title of acting "You Pushe" (右僕射).
However, all of the soldiers who received rewards based on Kang's report were Kang's relatives or soldiers close to him, and the soldiers who participated in the surprise raid were not awarded.
This brought much resentment.
Subsequently, the military governor of neighboring Lingnan East Circuit (嶺南東道, headquartered in modern Guangzhou, Guangdong), found out what happened, and reported this to the chancellors.
Kang himself was fearful as well that his deception would be discovered, so he claimed to be ill and offered to resign.
He was recalled to serve as a general of the imperial guards, but with his office at the eastern capital Luoyang. 
Antonio Maria Blanco (15 September 1912 - 10 December 1999) was a painter of Spanish and American descent.
Antonio was born in the Ermita district of Manila, Philippines.
He initially lived and worked in Florida and California, United States, until he became interested in exploring the islands of the Pacific Ocean that had been a source of inspiration for painters such as Paul Gauguin, José Miguel Covarrubias and others before him.
He planned to go to Tahiti, but fate brought him to Hawaii, Japan and Cambodia, where he was a guest of honor of Prince Norodom Sihanouk.
From Cambodia he went to Bali in 1952 and married a traditional Balinese dancer named Ni Ronji in 1953.
Bali gave Antonio important elements that he needed to develop his artistic gifts: the beautiful scenery, the dreamlike atmosphere of the environment and the pervasive art and great love.
Settled in Bali, Antonio began to realize his dreams in life and work.
He built a house and museum in Ubud which contains many of his paintings.
The land on which the construction was erected was given to Antonio by the King of Ubud Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati.
Women are the focal point of his paintings and one could say that Antonio was a painter of the eternal feminine and his style is romantic-expressive and dreamy.
Blanco received numerous awards, including the Tiffany Fellowship (special award from The Society of Honolulu Artists), Chevalier du Sahametrai of Cambodia, the Society of Painters of Fine Art Quality of President Sukarno and the Prize of the Art Critique in Spain.
Antonio was also awarded the order of Cruz de Caballero from the King of Spain Juan Carlos I, giving him the title of "Don" in front of his name.
Many collectors have appreciated his paintings, including the actress Ingrid Bergman, Mexican telenovela queen Thalia (Ariadna Thalia Sodi Miranda), Sukarno (the first President of Indonesia), Suharto (the second presindet of Indonesia), the former Indonesian Vice President Adam Malik, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, Michael Jackson and many more.
The Blanco Renaissance Museum, Antonio's lifetime dream, was opened on December 28, 1998 at his residence in a beautiful environment, where more than 300 works of Antonio are exposed in chronological order to show his artistic development.
The sumptuous and impressive building offers a glimpse of the theatrical character of the artist.
He emulated the flamboyance of Dali, to whom he has been compared.
Don Antonio Maria Blanco died on December 10, 1999 in Denpasar, Bali, from heart and kidney disease, survived by his wife and four children: Cempaka, Mario, Orchid and Mahadewi.
Since Antonio converted to Hinduism, he had a cremation ceremony Balinese style in Ubud, finished on 28 December 1999. 
Quincy Tahoma was born near Tuba City, Arizona in 1920.
Tahoma means "Water Edge.
'As a young boy he became familiar with many religious and traditional chants and rituals.
He also was known for creating "sand paintings."
As a boy he spent much of his time hunting and fishing, whereas later in life, he drew much of his artistic inspiration from his boyhood experiences. 
During the later years of his life, Fahey painted a series of abstract paintings.
Many of these were exhibited from July 10 – September 12, 2010, at The East Village, New York, presented by John Andrew and Audio Visual Arts (AVA).
The exhibit featured 55 paintings, ranging in size from 6.75" by 9" to 22" by 29".
The "sale sheet" for the exhibit listed prices from $750 for smaller works to $3,000 for the large paintings.
The paintings were either framed or unframed.
Audio Visual Arts describes Fahey's paintings as follows: "Pulling inspiration from the ‘French Primitive’, untutored painters, Fahey often referred to his music as ‘American Primitive’.
The same alluring, raw, roots, mysterious, power, grit, obscure, industrial, ambient, epic, and tranquilizing aesthetics that one finds in Fahey’s music and his writings are equally present in his paintings.
The 90’s proved to be a decade of regeneration for Fahey.
Though he struggled with certain health problems, he was brimming with experimentation.
Collaborating with noise artists and improvisational performers of the alternative movement, Fahey began to channel a new outlet for experimentation which included his return to painting; a bent he abandoned when he took up the guitar.
Fahey’s works are evocative of action painters and abstract expressionists.
He painted on found poster board and discarded spiral notebook paper.
His painting studio floated from motel bed to motel bed and eventually ended up on the bed of his rental home in Salem, OR; occasionally painting with anti-freeze in the garage.
He worked with tempera, acrylic, spray paint, and magic marker.
"Several of Fahey's paintings were sold on eBay by Michael R. Karn (Balcony Books and Music, Eugene, Oregon) in July 2001.
Kern attested "John brought paintings into the used book store I owned and operated, Balcony Books, located at 108 SW Third Street in Corvallis, Oregon, in December of 1998.
John had been shopping and trading with me for several years.
I originally became acquainted with him several years earlier when I operated a similar store in Salem, Oregon, where John lived at the time.
John often brought in books or records he had scouted, and exchanged them for books and records from our stock.
He also generously signed several records and posters from my personal collection for me, and even performed a couple of in-store concerts."
Karn claimed he received several paintings "directly from John in exchange for a large collection of Duke Ellington records which I had recently obtained.
He had recently taken up painting as a creating outlet.
He was aware the paintings could be sold some day, even though he himself would not sell his paintings, but he understood the nature of the used book and record business, and gave his blessing to me to sell them in the store if I wished.
I never did sell a painting in store, but recently several through auction at ebay."
