Xu Beihong's iconic works on show in Chongqing

Xu Beihong, one of the preeminent figures of the 20th-century Chinese art, is known for rendering a heroic, unyielding spirit to his subjects.
The human figures under his brushes, whether it is a mythological character, an ancient philosopher or a rural woman, often sparkle with courage and wisdom.
His depictions of other lives, such as roosters crowing in rains, flying birds embracing fierce winds and wounded lions, also become symbols of dynamics.
The Peon Art Museum Chongqing will open on Dec 17 an exhibition to show some of the most classic paintings and drawings by Xu in tribute to his people's perseverance and the magnificence of nature.

The farmers who come to our area to spread out their produce on the ground to sell still come carrying their fruit and veggies on their backs in baskets just like in the last photo. I have been on the Li River cruise from Guilin (depicted in the photo of the painting just above the one of the woman with the basket on her back) through the amazing Karst mountains to Yangshuo. This is a photo I took while on that cruise, just past the area that the painting depicts.

Did not see this either..Glitch in the system, or maybe it was the Russians..
That is what we say here, when something goes wrong in the computer world...
Until, hopefully, Group members & others look for these articles spontaneously, I will be posting links to them on the Three-Day Weekend articles!
How did I miss this?
