LOT NOTES:
Liu LingCang (1907-1989)

Liu LingCang was a famous painter in modern China. He mastered portrait of lady. His teacher is the great artist Xu YanSun. Most of his works were in the Chinese traditional style. In his efforts to create a new form of national art, he combined Chinese brush and ink techniques with Western perspective and methods of composition. He integrated firm and bold brush strokes with the precise delineation of form. As an art teacher, he advocated the subordination of technique to artistic conception and emphasizes the importance of the artist's experiences in life.
