Perhaps the greatest figure painter and landscapist of China’s modern period, Fu Baoshi successfully integrated Western and traditional artistic influences to create haunting images that evoke a mood as much as a place or person. This exhibition treats Fu’s 40-year career with some 70 paintings, including many of the artist’s recognized masterpieces, drawn from the preeminent holdings of China’s Nanjing Museum. The exhibition, strengthened by superb works from a New York private collection, is the most comprehensive treatment of the artist’s oeuvre ever presented.
