Description

In the waning days of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), China’s first formal art schools were founded in an atmosphere of spirited debate about tradition, reform, and what it meant to be an artist in that culture. The painter Chao Shao-an (1905–1998), a leader in the modernist movement, strove, like his masters, both “to learn from nature [and to] be inspired by [an] inner sensibility.” In his mid-twenties he established the Lingnan Art Studio in order to advance this fresh and vital approach. Chao’s fluid brushwork, rich colors, and inventive composition are evident in this calendar’s twelve vibrant paintings of birds, flowers, and insects.
