Because of Guan Liang’s paintings, I thought of him. He was as pure and intelligent as his paintings—a painter among painters, a lovely and silent man.
—Ni Yide
There is an artistic charm that transcends time. Some artists are enshrined in history simply because their aesthetic awareness outpaced that of most of their contemporaries. Their ideas and works may not have been understood or appreciated in their own time, yet they endure for decades, even centuries, inspiring anticipation.
In the West, there are figures like Van Gogh and Matisse; in China, Guan Liang can be regarded as a paradigm in this regard. His paintings appear childlike, yet their colors and forms are elegant, creating a uniquely Eastern artistic style.
Thanks to the long-term support and trust of Guan Liang’s family, the Xiling Autumn Auction in 2021 once again presented the master theme “Making the Common Accessible, Making the Precious Valuable,” offering collectors a feast. This special feature showcases several of Liang Gong’s oil paintings and ink-and-color works, including the renowned “Dejing” series of oil paintings, distinctive ink-and-color operatic figures, vibrant and captivating floral still lifes, and a representative porcelain painting. Please join us as we “step into” Guan Liang’s artistic world and experience the boundless innocence and beauty within his works.
