Lychees and Insects

Lu Yifei Chinese

Not on view

Contemporary Chinese artists have perpetuated fine brush as well as broad brush techniques. Lu Yifei attributes the style of this fan to the 18th century Yangzhou eccentric Hua Yen, but the perspective imposed by his renderings of the insects places the painting clearly in the 20th century.
