| 内容简介（英文） | Horse Standing on a Lofty Ridge P’u Ju (1886-1963) Republican Period P’u Ju was a scion of the Ch’ing imperial family, and was descended from the famous Prince Kung (1832-1898). When he was young, he began to study belles-lettres, calligraphy and painting. He was particularly skilled at landscape painting and was fond of using sized paper, which enables the artist to use different brush techniques. P’u Ju’s style follows the Ma-Hsia school, which is named for the Southern Sung masters Ma Yuan and Hsia Kuei. Because P’u’s fame is comparable to that of his Suthern contemporary, Chang Ta-ch’ien (1899-1983), they are often referred to as “Southern Chang and Northern P’u.” A man on horseback rides along a lofty ridge. On his head he wears a sombrero, an ammunition belt is slung across his back; he resembles a Mexican bandit. P’u loved Americal Westerns and images borrowed from this genre entered the paintings he did for his own amusement. |
