Gu Gan (Born 1942 Changsha, China) Ink on Rice Paper Titled "Tiger" Circa 1990
About the Item
An ink of rice paper by the well-known Chinese calligrapher and artist Gu Gan. Born in 1942 in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, Gu Gan attended art school in Beijing in the early 1960's.
He was unable to create his art during the Chinese cultural revolution and was forced to work as a laborer in the printing industry for over 10 years.
In 1976, following the death of Mao and the fall of the Gang of Four, he was able to return to his art. At this time he became more familiar with the work of modern Western artists like Klee, Kandinsky and Miro, artists little known in China at that time. In 1993, a major exhibition of Gu Gran's work was held in Cologne Germany. He now lives in Beijing and is Chairman of the Association Of Chinese Modern Painters and Calligraphers. His works are displayed in many museums in China and the West. Author of The Three Steps of Modern Calligraphy, published in 1990, Gu Gan is now regarded as as a master as well as a leading theorist of his art. Title of piece: "Tiger"
Thanks to the Chateau Mouton Rothschild winery for this information. Gu Gan did the 1996 artwork for that label which is pictured in this listing.
