About the Item
Duan Zhaonan (Chinese, born 1955)
"Father" 2015
Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars
The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting.
In "Father," Duan Zhaonan presents a deeply personal portrait shaped by memory, observation, and emotional weight. The face emerges through dense, expressive layers of paint, where scraped passages and broken color give the surface a raw, lived-in quality. Rather than pursuing idealization, Duan allows age, strain, and tenderness to coexist, creating a presence that feels intimate and unguarded.
Duan Zhaonan is known for figurative works that bridge contemporary Chinese painting with an expressionist sensibility. His approach emphasizes psychological depth over formal likeness, using vigorous brushwork and a restrained yet earthy palette to convey inner life. The artist turns inward for this piece, transforming a familial subject into a universal meditation on lineage, resilience, and quiet authority. The result is a portrait that feels both personal and timeless, grounded in human experience rather than narrative.

Painter born in Bordeaux, in 1889 and died in Paris in 1962.
He began painting his mother's portraits very soon.
He studied at the National Superior School of Fine Arts. The artist considered his teacher and inspiring Degas.
Between 1904 and 1907 he joined Fauvism. In 1905 he participated in the "Autumn Hall" and in the "Hall of Independents". In 1907 he presented his 1st individual exhibition at the Vollard Gallery. He specialized in female portraits of Parisian ladies, creating a unique, sophisticated and elegant female portrait prototype that characterized him forever.
He played an essential role in the evolution of women's fashion of his time. He designed numerous dresses, hats and accessories for famous designers such as Paul Poiret and Henry Marque
It goes down in history as the architect of a new type of woman, thin, with an elegant air, always with style, with unusual elongated necks, with impressive slanted eyes, that seem to look at the world in amazement, perhaps because they express a feeling of freedom towards Society and its norms. With these paintings of women, he showed the world the true French, elegant, beautiful and with a gooseneck.
