Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy

A recognized Chinese painter of the 20th century, Huang Zhou was a modern artist who drew inspiration from the ancient masters. As he developed his style, Huang drifted away from traditional methods of Chinese art and immersed himself in Expressionism. An example of Huang’s work will be offered in the upcoming Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy auction, presented by Oakridge Auction Gallery. The available lot is a watercolor painting, depicting a woman with two donkeys and a dog. Another key watercolor by Zhang Daqian. Spending his early years studying and copying old master paintings, Zhang was both an infamous forger and an innovative artist. His work was celebrated as a representation of Chinese tradition. The available piece shows a scholar walking among trees. Visit Auction Daily for more information on Zhang Daqian.
