Lin
Feng-mien was born in 1900 in Meixian in China's southern province of
Guangdong, and was one of the earliest Chinese artists to study in Europe.
He arrived in Paris in 1919 and attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. While
other Chinese artists of the 20th century embraced Western academic
realism as their model, Lin immediately was inspired by the progressive
Post Impressionist art movements and early on adopted European painting
techniques. He was particularly drawn to the Fauve painters, especially
Matisse, Marquet, Derain and Vlaminck. |
