| 内容简介(英文) | Horseback Riding Chang Yu-kuang (1885-1968) Republican Period Chang Yu-kuang, style name Ho-t’sand-t’ou, was a native of Shao-hsing, Chekiang. In his early years he painted backdrops and later became a teacher of art for more than 40 years. His painting style followed that of Jen Po-nien, but he also absorbed Western painting techniques to create a style of his own. His compositions are varied and do not conform to any set convention, suggesting a sense of simplicity and naturalness. This fan was done in 1935 as a farewell gift for a friend going to Europe for study. Using the past to comment on the present, the painting method here has the quality of a drawing. This work was donated to the National Palace Museum by Messrs. Lin Tsung-i and Lin Ch’eng-tao. |
