Xu Beihong Art Exhibition 徐悲鴻藝術珍藏展 [HD1080P]
Biography[edit]
Xu Beihong is a key figure in 20th century Chinese art. Drawn from the Xu Beihong Memorial Museum, the exhibition features works including Chinese ink brush paintings, oil paintings, drawings, pastels, and calligraphy. Viewers can explore Xu Beihong’s career from early works including a 1918 landscape painting, drawings and paintings created during his studies in Europe, and several of his well-known and loved horse paintings. This is important artist, acclaimed by critics as the father of modern Chinese paintings.
Xu began studying classic Chinese works and calligraphy with his father Xu Dazhang when he was six, and Chinese painting when he was nine. In 1915, he moved to Shanghai, where he made a living off commercial and private work. He travelled to Tokyo in 1917 to study arts. When he returned to China, he began to teach at Peking University's Arts school at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei. Beginning in 1919, Xu studied overseas in Paris at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where he studied oil painting and drawing. His travels around Western Europe allowed him to observe and learn Western art techniques. He came back to China in 1927 and, from 1927 to 1929, gained a number of posts at institutions in China, including teaching at National Central University (now Nanjing University) in the former capital city Nanjing.
In 1933, Xu organized an exhibition of modern Chinese painting that traveled to France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and the Soviet Union. During World War II, Xu traveled to Southeast Asia, holding exhibitions in Singapore and India. All the proceeds from these exhibitions went to Chinese people who were suffering as a result of the war.
Galloping Horse
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Xu became president of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and chairman of the China Artists Association. Xu Beihong was a master of both oils and Chinese ink. Most of his works, however, were in the Chinese traditional style. In his efforts to create a new form of national art, he combined Chinese brush and ink techniques with Western perspective and methods of composition. He integrated firm and bold brush strokes with the precise delineation of form. As an art teacher, he advocated the subordination of technique to artistic conception and emphasizes the importance of the artist's experiences in life. Of all of the Painters of the modern era, it can be safely said that Xu is the one painter most responsible for the direction taken in the modern Chinese Art world. The policies enacted by Xu at the beginning of the Communist Era continue to control not only official Government Policy towards the arts, but they continue to direct the overall direction taken in the various Art Colleges and Universities throughout China.
Xu enjoyed massive support from art collectors across Asia. Between 1939 and 1941, he held solo exhibitions in Singapore, India and Malaya (Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh) to help raise funds for the war relief effort in China. In one war benefit exhibition in March 1939, Xu held a group exhibition with Chinese ink painting masters Ren Bonian and Qi Baishi, and showcased 171 works of art at the Victoria Memorial Hall.[2]
He also met luminaries such as Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi during his stay in India, and got his sources of inspiration which led to the creation of iconic works such as the 4.21m-wide The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains painting on show at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM). Artworks like After a Poem of the Six Dynasties, Portrait of Ms Jenny and Put Down Your Whip were also created during his sojourns in Southeast Asia. SAM Director Kwok Kian Chow mentioned that Xu's name tops the list in Asian modern realism art, and his connections with various parts of Asia and Europe opened a new chapter of historical narratives, exchanges and influences of aesthetics and ideas in art.[1]
Xu constantly pushed the boundaries of visual art with new techniques and international aesthetics, in bid to reinvent Chinese art. In fact, Xu's influence extends beyond China in the early 20th-century. Many pioneer Singapore artists such as Chen Wen Hsi, Lee Man Fong and Chen Chong Swee looked up to him as a mentor and a worthy peer, sharing Xu's advocate to closely observe nature and inject realism into Chinese painting.[3]
The Malay Dancers, one of the two vases which was believed to have been made in the 1940s, and given to the two Huang brothers who were friends of Xu Beihong
Xu died of a stroke in 1953. After his death, a Xu Beihong Museum was established at his home in Beijing.

Artist Xu Beihong and His Family in Mao's China
Speaker: Xu Fangfang
Abstract: The most influential Chinese artist and art educator in twentieth-century China, Xu Beihong (1895-1953) is widely known as the father of modern Chinese painting. Born into a poor family in 1895 in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, he learned Chinese classics and traditional Chinese painting from his father, a self-taught artist.
Xu Beihong gained a government scholarship to study in France and attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. Between 1919 and 1927, he studied sketching and oil painting in France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland. Returning to China in 1927, he successfully integrated Western painting methods and techniques with traditional Chinese painting in order to develop Chinese painting. The human feelings and Chinese esthetics in his art have moved the hearts of many viewers throughout the world.
Xu Beihong pioneered China's art education. He was the first Chinese artist to systematically incorporate high-standard Western sketching from life and oil painting into the curricula at China’s major art institutions. From 1927 until his death in 1953, Xu Beihong trained several generations of students.
About the speaker:
Xu Beihong’s daughter, will introduce her memoir. Galloping Horses: Artist Xu Beihong and His Family in Mao’s China describes how Xu Beihong’s family and legacy survived the turbulence of Mao’s ever-changing policies, which dictated the direction of art and music from 1949 through the devastating ten-year Cultural Revolution. This book offers untold experiences of Xu Beihong during this period.
Born and raised in China, Xu, Fangfang moved to the U.S. in 1981 and earned a B.A. in history from the University of California, Berkeley, and an M.B.A. from Stanford University. In 2000, she became the founding director of the music department at Renmin University of China. She helped initiate and facilitate the first comprehensive solo U.S. exhibition of her father Xu Beihong’s work, presented by the Denver Art Museum, Oct. 2011-Jan. 2012. She has published several articles on Xu Beihong and his art, including “Xu Beihong, Pioneer of Modern Chinese Painting” in Arts of Asia 42, no. 1 (2012), and “Xu Beihong’s Life and Art” in Xu Beihong: Pioneer of Modern Chinese Painting, Denver Art Museum, 2011.

In “Animal – Art Science Nature Society”, the third such exhibition, the museum and City University’s bring together pieces from a number of disciplines, both scientific and artistic.
A few weeks ago, we looked at the works of artist Pan Yuliang, one of the first female Chinese artists to go to study art abroad. That group of early pioneers, of course, also included several men, one of whom was Xu Beihong. Xu Beihong is known for his Chinese ink-and-wash paintings of horses and birds. Like many of that first generation of artists to study in Europe, he broke new ground in the techniques and styles he adopted to reflect a modernising China. At the Sun Museum until early December, “Xu Beihong and His Times” features 61 artworks by 33 artists.

China's art scene undergoing radical change
(30 Aug 2018) LEADIN:
China's art scene is undergoing a major shift as the country's economic rise fuels an increase in collectors and investors.
The Beijing Art Expo, which is now underway, is helping to create a buzz by showcasing the talent and trends of artists worldwide, but at a cost.
STORYLINE:
At this exhibition, art is beyond boundaries and materials.
Among the various stands and booths here are traditional Chinese paintings alongside international and more contemporary works.
There are also pieces from artists in Russia and North Korea.
While no North Korean artists were able to attend the expo to promote their paintings, one gallery curator at the event, Zhang Dandan says their works are worth investing in.
North Korean paintings are enjoying prosperity now. As culture exchange between China and North Korea is increasing, North Korean oil paintings can expect a market growth. The market is not truly opened yet, but when it is, prices will go up on a great scale. It's a very good timing now for collectors and art lovers to collect North Korean paintings, she says.
Curators say because of China's economic rise, more and more Chinese are becoming interested in art and attending exhibitions like this.
Lai Zhigang is a painter who is famous for his traditional Chinese paintings. His stand is dominated by his work 'Xiahe Symphony' which highlights his use of black and white.
Black and white are from Taoist culture, Laozi culture. Black and white are the epitome of Taoist culture. Chinese culture and philosophy emphasizes simplicity, using the simplest things to describe the most complex things in the universe. It's a challenge, a result of philosophical perceptions, and innovation of inheriting culture, he says.
However, Mr Lai believes China's art scene has not developed as quickly as its economy.
Chinese art is actually regressing. There has been a huge retrogression during the past 30 years. There have not been new excellent works, but only some signs of the accumulation of previous good artworks. Perhaps it has something to do with politics in China. Art can't be separated from politics, he says.
The art works range from paintings to sculptures, like this installation of concrete lamps by Zhang Baogui.
Different colours, textures and materials are on display, including the eye catching gold paintings of artist Kim II Tae.
Richie Chai, who represents the painter, explains why he specializes in gold: Chinese people themselves love collecting gold. We spend money on either real estate or gold. As the combination of art and gold, it (gold painting) is worth collecting. So I believe Chinese art lovers will like it.
Gold is universally acknowledged as eternal. It doesn't change in appearance, nor will its color fade away. He (Kim Il Tae) wants to make something that people can forever cherish, something that won't change and is different from other artworks. So he chooses gold, he adds.
While the gold paintings draw much attention, there are few people willing to pay upwards of one million RMB (US$146,000) for the cheapest item.
More foreign artists are waking up to China as a growing market for their art.
Ana Moreno is an artist from Venezuela and the director of Art Center Miami in the United States. She explains the philosophy behinds her paintings which concentrate on fish.
The owner of Art Center Miami, Connie Suarez says she wanted to be part of the exhibition because the similarities between Chinese and Latin American culture.
