Beihong Xu

Beihong Xu is a Chinese Orthodox School artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Xu Beihong painted horses and animals in a realist tradition rooted in 20th-century Chinese ink painting. His 1944 oil Colt captures a young horse in summer light with careful anatomy and fluid brushwork. If you like strong lines and warm tones, tap into Colt next; if you want to see more work from the same year, browse the 1944 bundle.
