常玉: 中國現代/20世紀畫家 Sanyu: 20th-century Chinese artist

Sanyu(1901 - 1966), an early 20th-century Chinese artist, is a master in using fluent lines to display concise expressions. Brush lines are the main techniques to paint in traditional Chinese art. He can manage lines in a way that would startle patrons of Chinese oil paintings. Sanyu learned art in China and in Japan in his early years. Then in 1920, when he was 19, he went to Paris, which was a prominent art center at the time, to study art, and subsequently spent the rest of his life in Pairs besides a two-year residence in New York. However, Sanyu was an art student out of the norm. He spent much time in reading literature at café, playing music, and strolling on the streets of Paris. In the 1930s, Sanyu was one of the few artists from the East who drew attention in the art circles of Paris. The subjects of Sanyu’s paintings mostly surround flowers, nudes, and animals. Now let’s get an intimate look at the way he uses lines in oils.
