Dwelling amid Waters and Forests
Fu Baoshi (1904 – 1965)
Explore Fu Baoshi's captivating landscape paintings & figure art – a pioneer of modern Chinese painting. Inspired by Shi Tao, he blended Japanese techniques with traditional styles.
One of the few extant works demonstrating Fu’s early style before he traveled to Japan, this painting bears the artist’s inscription: “At the height of the summer, the Great Heat, in the renshen year [1932], I was traveling in Jinling [Nanjing]. With leisure time in the long summer, I painted this as a pastime.” When Fu left Japan, he entrusted his teacher Kinbara Seigo (1888–1963) with this landscape and other early works.
