Exhibition Label: “The Boundaries of Heaven: Chinese Ink Painting in the Republican Period, 1911-1949,” Feb-2009, Kris Ercums After returning from Paris in 1930 where he studied in some of the best art academies of interwar France, Pang emerged as one of the most important if not popular figures of the Shanghai avant-garde. Relocated to Chengdu in 1940 during the Japanese invasion of China, he taught at the Sichuan Academy of Art and spent much of his time touring the Southwest, studying the diverse range of ethnic groups that reside in the region. Pang depicts a Miao woman in this work. The Chinese term Miao describes a transnational community with shared linguistic and cultural roots known various as Hmong/Mong, Hmu, A Hmao, and Kho (Qho) Xiong.
