Who painted Tao, what genre he belongs to and what works he has?

The oil painting "Tao", also known as "Woman Holding Tao", is made. It belongs to realistic oil painting.

He is famous for his oil painting Tao. "Tao", also known as "Woman Holding Tao", is an oil painting completed by Xie Chuyu at the beginning of 1997. The size is 120* 100cm. "Tao" was created because of three models, one from Qingdao, one from Shantou and one from mixed blood. In Xie Chuyu's view, these three kinds of people are "hybrids" and the most beautiful.

Once Tao came out, it moved the world with a combination of Chinese and western beauty. But it has also become the most pirated oil painting in the history of China oil painting, with more than one million times of piracy. Tao finished at the beginning of 1997. Later, the original was collected by Tian Yu, a Hong Kong collector. After the completion of the work, he participated in relevant art exhibitions in Singapore, Hong Kong and the Mainland, which caused quite a stir at home and abroad.

This oil painting "Tao" depicts a jade girl with dark and bright eyes, slightly smiling lips, cordial and grounded, and full of classical atmosphere. Her eyes are affectionate, graceful, quiet and elegant. Although they are elegant, they seem more spotless than white gauze. Condensed and slender arms embrace a piece of pottery, but it does not defile her clean and thorough elegance. On the contrary, it adds a classical sense of stability and a little reverie about history to such a beautiful oriental charm, so behind her, there are endless vicissitudes. Therefore, it is known as the "Venus of the East".

This painting conveys the mysterious beauty of the East, so it was copied and reprinted countless times at a time (according to statistics, the global piracy volume exceeded100000).
