Xie Zhiliu (1910–1997)

With more than one hundred works by Xie Zhiliu (pronounced "shay jer-leo"), one of modern China's leading traditional artists, this rare trove of material demonstrates how studying and copying earlier models were as much a part of Chinese artistic tradition as learning from nature. Drawn from a recent gift presented to the Museum by the artist’s daughter, Sarah Shay, the installation commemorates the one-hundredth anniversary of Xie Zhiliu’s birth.
