Ju Lian | Insects and Flowers

Artist Bio:

Ju Lian, unlike his older cousin Ju Chao, was gregarious and indulgent. When Ju Lian departed from the renowned garden villa of the official Chang Jingxiu, he was given several young concubines as a gift. For them Ju built his villa "Garden of the Ten Fragrances" in Fanyu. He kept it filled with visiting notables and painters, and planted the gardens in the effusive style of Chang's villa. Ju Lian's appreciation of things pretty and amusing is evident in his paintings of meticulously observed flora and fauna. As the teacher of Gao Jianfu (who in turn taught his own brother Gao Qifeng) and Chen Shufen, Ju Lian is the progenitor of the "Lingnan School" in the Guandong region, characterized by realistic images, high color and a wide range of subjects.

Gao Qifeng, Rooster and Hen in Spring Rain, hanging scroll, ink and colour on paper, 139 x 65 cm, Hong Kong Museum of Art. 

   “A native of Panyu in Guangdong province, Gao Qifeng (1889-1933), original name Weng, was the younger brother of Gao Jianfu, with whom he learned painting in his early years before also going to Japan, in 1907, to study under Tanaka Raisho. He is also acclaimed as one of the ‘Three Masters of the Lingnan School’. This painting is one of the finest examples of Gao Qifeng's work. A couple of chickens are depicted sheltering peacefully under a birch-leaf pear tree. Falling petals and a colour-washed background, together with the two resting chickens, create a romantic, poetic and dream-like visual impact. Exquisitely executed, the chickens and the birch-leaf pear are vivid and solid, yet the artist is able to capture a transient moment of nature. Gao successfully combined the poetic element of Chinese painting, Japanese plein-air painting and Western techniques to develop a unique personal style.”

Rock and Insects. Ju Lian (居廉). Ink and color on silk, circular fan leaves, mounted. 1896.

Part of the Lingnan School of Chinese painters in the late Qing Dynasty, Ju Lian (1828-1904) was a painter native to Panyu (番禺), now a district of Guangzhou. He would later come to mentor the brothers Gao Jianfu and Gao Qifeng, two artists who popularized the theme of incorporating modern, eclectic elements of Western painting into their traditional subjects — a theme that would later become a signature of the Lingnan School.
