The Portrait of a Young Lady.
The Slave & Lion (1924)
The slave safed the lion's life by removing a needle from it's leg。 So the lion didn't eat him up when the slave's master threw him in the jungle to feed the lion.报恩。
He's very good at painting horses. Different horses, facing different angles, heading different direction...All the paintings look so real as if it were like a photograph. I like the way he paint the horse with ink. It's not easy to master the soft brush with the black ink on the 宣纸 (rice paper) as it will smerge very easily if not careful. However he could master it very well and create great effect. Look at the whole structure of the horses. Look at the horse's hair! Tiny fine hair! It's flying in the breeze.Look at the horse's legs! I was told in class that he observed the horses' legs for a very long time before he starts to paint the horse.
Inspired by Xu's art works, I then went to Bras Basah for papers and paintings...haha...
And so..., we ate our lunch at 3pm at Bugis, at a Hong Kong Restaurant. The food not bad la... Like the spicy fried tofu that Xinni ordered. Fried chicken wings also quite yummy =)
