Exhibition Label: “The Boundaries of Heaven: Chinese Ink Painting in the Republican Period, 1911-1949,” Feb-2009, Kris Ercums A student of Gao Qifeng 高奇峰 (1889-1933), Zhao was one of the better known Lingnan or Southern School painters of the late twentieth century. He developed a distinctive, angular painting style that is echoed in his sharp, linear calligraphy. Painted in Chengdu—the wartime capital of China during WWII—this work is part of an album made for Dr. William P. Fenn, director of the United Board of Christian Colleges.
