Travelling Amid Streams and Mountains

Feng Zikai Chinese

Not on view

Feng Zikai's intellectual development was fostered under the tutelage of the influential Buddhist scholar and painter Li Shutong (Hungyi). Later Feng studied in Japan, learning Western drawing and music. when he returned to China he answered the call for an art responsive to the needs of a broadly defined national culture, not with politically rhetorical pictures but with moving, humane depictions of common people in real situations. Here the scholarly pastime of appreciating nature is enjoyed by two moderns on horseback.
