A Beauty
Lu Hui Chinese
Not on view
Luo Hui's beautiful lady, like Qian Huian's is "done in the style of Tang Yin", but again there are only vague allusions to the 16th century artist's style. Deep, inky green and black and the touches of dark red at the lips and neckline suit the fashionable lady, chaste and yet seductive in her garden of banana and bamboo.
Luo Hui was a student of Liu Deliu, and was a member of the Shanghai painting group "The Nine Friends", along with Gu Yun, Ren Yu, Jin Lan, Wu Dacheng, Ni Tian and Gu Linshi, all represented in this exhibition. He retired while still young to Suzhou where he continued to teach and enjoy the company of his friends.
