About the Item

Here is a great opportunity to own and original painting by on of the most renowned Chinese Painters to ever live. Xu Beihong has been credited with having the biggest influence on the direction that Chinese modern art took in the first half of the 20th century. This is one-of-a-kind painting from his "Galloping Horse" series. About the Artist: Xu Beihong (1895-1953) was an outstanding Chinese artist and educator of the fine arts. His works cover a wide range of styles and mediums, though he is best known for his horse paintings. The Xu Beihong Museum was originally housed near the Beijing Railway Station. In 1953 Xu' s wife, Mrs. Liao Jingwen, contributed the residence and his entire collection of books, calligraphy, and paintings to the country. Later, due to subway renovations, the museum was moved to 53 North Xinjiekou Street, the former location of Liu Qiyuan' s personal chrysanthemum collection. The museum displays Mr. Xu' s studio as it was originally arranged. Among the wall hangings are the master' s copy of the Western European oil painting "Bountiful Harvest," traditional Chinese paintings by Ren Bonian and Qi Baishi, and a photo of Mr. Xu with the Indian poet and philosopher Tagore. Also on display are the master' s seals, ancient artifacts, and gifts given by foreign friends. Photos include shots from Mr. Xu' s trips to the former Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, Italy and India. Copies of letters from the Chinese People' S volunteers and elementary school students, telegrams and original letters of condolence sent after the master' s death are also on display. In the exhibition hall are color ink paintings, oil paintings, and sketches from each period of Mr. Xu's career. His explosive, daring "Galloping Horse" symbolizes beauty and power. The inscription says: "I'm agitated about the battle in Changsha on August 10, 1941. Will it end as the first? I hope so." The master completed this work in the autumn of 1941 in Singapore, where he went to raise funds for the War of Resistance Against Japan.
