Description
Chen Hongshou: Repentant Monk explores the life and art of one of China's most fascinating painters. This first US exhibition focuses solely on Chen, whose unique style blends ancient techniques with modern sensibilities.
From his striking landscapes to his captivating bird and flower paintings, Chen's work is characterized by a sense of irony, humor, and pathos. His use of the "Repentant Monk" persona in his later period adds a layer of complexity to his art, reflecting both his personal disillusionment with the Ming dynasty and his own survival into the new Qing era.
This book provides a much-needed historical context for Chen's work, shedding light on the transitional period of late Ming and early Qing dynasties. With its careful selection of extant works from around the world, it offers a unique insight into the life and art of this major figure in Chinese painting.
