In the early 20th century, the three masters of the Lingnan School, namely “Two Gaos and One Chen” (i.e. Gao Jianfu, Gao Qifeng and Chen Shuren), promoted revolutionary thoughts to bring Chinese painting into a new era and became major representatives of New Guohua Movement. Stylistically, the Lingnan School advocated a synthesis of Chinese and Western painting and of traditional and modern means. By absorbing techniques and aesthetic ideals from Japanese and European art, they brought Chinese painting to a high status with international recognition.
The demo/talk by Hong Kong renowned Lingnan School representative, Mr. Lam Wu Fui, will illustrate the basic characteristics of the School, how the new style successfully blended the spirit with the realistic form, the depiction of details with the expression of emotion, and the abstract beauty of brushwork with the application of brilliant colour.
Students will get course hours after attending the Talk for fulfillment of Healthy Lifestyle (HLTH1010) Course Requirements.
