[moqiao]

New exhibition of modern Chinese ink masters «Intimate Encounter» at the newly-opened Guardian Art Center in Beijing features 50 works from the M K Lau Collection, by 19 modern ink masters including Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), Pu Ru (1896-1963), Wu Changshuo (1844-1927) and Lu Yanshao (1909-93).

Includes nine pieces by Pu Ru – a cousin of Pu Yi, the last emperor.  One of these «Lofty Landscape» is about 11 meters long, with high quality of brushwork across a variety of different painting styles over the entire scroll. Another is by both Pu Ru and Zhang Daqian

known as «Pu in the north of China and Zhang in the south». In a mark of friendship, each artist painted a separate half of the work. This type of cooperation on a single scroll is common among ink painters.

Exhibition 10 am-6 pm, through Nov 22. Guardian Art Center, 1 Wangfujing Street, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6518-9968.
