About the Item
Signed lower left, '大石 Sun Ying' (Chinese, 1919-2016) and painted circa 1975.
Sun Dashi 大石, known under the brush name of Sun Ying, was born in China's Shandong Province and, by 1949, was practicing as a successful artist in Taipei where he was involved in the founding of several painting societies, including the Chinese Association of Ink Painting.
Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Ying continued to exhibit widely and with success, including in Australia, Brazil, Germany, Malaysia and the United States and in Taipei where he was the recipient of the Golden Cup Award. In 1974, he moved to the United States, where he settled in the San Francisco Bay Area until returning to China in 1982. Once home, he continued to exhibit internationally, including in the Soviet Union (1984), at Japan's 22nd exhibition of Contemporary Art (1988), the Tokyo Art Museum (1991) and at the Art Museum of China (1993). During the 1990s, Sun Ying was appointed as a researcher for the China Central Institute for Culture and History and, in 2000, the Sun Dashi Museum of Art was opened in his honor. We are pleased to offer this elegant work, dating to the artist's San Francisco period, painted circa 1975.
