[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.
