Li Keran Chinese
Not on view
During the 1950s and 1960s, Li Keran was confined to a compound in Peking with several other artists and intellectuals and their families. Despite restrictions, he continued to work. These paintings appeared as paper in the communal latrine, where they were rescued by a fellow artist.
