Autumn Herd

Li Keran Chinese

Not on view

Li Keran's painting style changed in 1947, when he accepted a post at the National Art College in Beijing and became a pupil of faculty member Qi Baishi (1864–1957). Under Qi's influence, Li's drawing slowed down and began to display a round calligraphic quality. This depiction of water buffalo, one of Qi's favorite subjects, retains a cartoonlike simplicity and directness.
