Location: not on view
Did You Know?
Du Fu 杜甫 was a great poet and scholar-official during the Tang dynasty.Description
This set of fan paintings offers glimpses into the artist’s private world and differs from the state-commissioned works that fulfilled his social duty. Whether depicting travelers in green mountains or a recluse listening to the sound of rushing water, the artwork and its subject matter are vehicles for self-expression. In his portrait of Du Fu, Fu mentioned his wife’s return from training with the Communist Party. The inscription provides insight into the life experience and public duties of each family in a revolutionary society.- 1964-?Fu Baoshi's family collection, Nanjing, China?-2008(Han Mo Xuan Co., Ltd., Hong Kong, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)2008-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
