Fu Baoshi (1904 – 1965)

Explore Fu Baoshi's captivating landscape paintings & figure art – a pioneer of modern Chinese painting. Inspired by Shi Tao, he blended Japanese techniques with traditional styles.

The series of waterfalls that cascade through a mountain valley in this painting exemplify Fu Baoshi’s equal mastery of describing both rocky masses and flowing water. Only a few dry lines indicate the rush of the stream, while rich layers of ink wash and scumbled brushstrokes define the rocky cliffs and foliage of the defile.
