Pu Ru Chinese

Not on view

Pu Ru's literati training emerges in his painting and calligraphy. The painting of a scholar in his studio by the water is straight from the classical repertory of themes, and Pu composes a poem to accompany it. The lines on the facing album leaf written for other paintings, trace the flow of the artist's consciousness from experience to poem to painting, and round again.
