Gallery label | Fu Baoshi was one of the most significant Chinese painters
of the 20th century. During his early career, he travelled to
Japan to study. His time there informed his later work, which
revolutionised Chinese ink painting by incorporating Japanese
elements. This painting places Chinese scholars in a
monumental landscape, but uses a Japanese-format mount.(17/01/2017) |
