Lin Fengmian’s work style

A fusion style of Chinese and Western styles.

Lin Fengmian was one of the first Chinese painters to receive Western art education. When he studied in France, he not only accepted the Western modern art style after Impressionism, but also studied in major oriental museums and ceramic museums. He not only copied the techniques of precious Chinese art, but also absorbed its artistic essence.

Lin Fengmian, who studied Western art but also did not forget Eastern traditional art, has a clear understanding of the pros and cons of Eastern and Western art, formed the artistic idea of ??"Chinese and Western fusion", and created a new painting style.

In 1977, Lin Fengmian was allowed to visit relatives abroad and moved to Hong Kong until his death. During his more than ten years in Hong Kong, he visited relatives in Brazil several times, revisited Paris after an absence of 60 years, and held solo exhibitions in Japan, France, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Hong Kong is an international metropolis. It is convenient to sell paintings and well-informed. The days of blindness are gone forever. But he is over eighty years old and is accustomed to living a quiet life. He does not entertain guests easily and rarely participates in social activities. He has his foster daughter Feng Ye taking care of his daily life, exhibitions, painting sales and other matters. This is the most comfortable and free period he has had in decades.

The characteristics of this period were that he painted frequently and produced many works, which were also acquired and collected. Most of his works from the 1940s to the 1970s were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. After arriving in Hong Kong, he painted many works that recalled his old works, including landscapes, still lifes, ladies, flowers and birds, and opera figures. The newly added paintings include Christ, nuns, dreams, Qu Yuan, etc. In general, he has reproduced the two major themes of calling for humanity and chanting life, and his style is more free, unrestrained and intense.
