Chinese Art in an Age of Revolution: Fu Baoshi (1904–1965)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents work by Fu Baoshi.

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 will treat Fu's forty-year career with some seventy paintings, including many of the artist's recognized masterpieces, drawn from the preeminent holdings of China's Nanjing Museum. The exhibition, augmented by superb works from a New York private collection, will be the most comprehensive treatment of the artist's oeuvre ever presented. Co-organized with the Cleveland Museum of Art, the exhibition will feature a richly illustrated catalogue.
