Lot 99
Ink and watercolour on paper. With a traditional Chinese frame of carved silk.It shows a galloping horse in a dynamic representation that contrasts with the minimalism of the elements that accompany it. The animal, with its robust anatomy, has its forelegs stretched out, while the hind legs are bent, following the natural movement of the horse. In contrast, the head is erect, looking straight ahead and crowned by a long black mane that, like the tail, rises in the wind. At the animal's feet, fine curved branches are arranged in faint grey and orange, contrasting with the intense black of the horse's coat. Xu Beihong's personal style is obvious, perfectly combining the realism characteristic of Western painting with traditional Chinese techniques, in which the use of ink is crucial. In this way, and just as he defended as a personal discourse throughout his career, he preserves those traditional arts that are disappearing over the centuries, and expands them, making them a reference beyond Chinese borders, infusing this particular style into Western techniques. Signed and stamped ‘???????’ in the right margin. Size painting: 67 x 55 cm; Size with frame: 200 x 64 cm (approx). Provenance: - Austrian private collection (Acquired at Bonhams Hong Kong in 2019).- Spanish private collection (to the present day). References: - Christie's.

In 1917 he travelled to Tokyo to study art and completed his training at Peking University, where he was awarded a scholarship to study at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art in Paris in 1919, an opportunity he took to travel around Europe for almost a decade, absorbing influences from the most renowned artists.

Lot 100
Ink and pigments on paper.It shows a beautiful still life, presided over by the central image of a glass vase filled with white and yellow chrysanthemums in bloom, which creates a compositional triangle with the two fruit bowls arranged on either side, containing appetizing pears and apples of vibrant yellow. The background, created with a palette of cool dark colours, purples, blues and greys, gives greater prominence to the vivid flowers and fruit, directing the viewer's gaze towards them. The chromatic palette used, together with the loose brushstrokes and the elements without contours, have clear fauvist influences, which inevitably evoke the blue period of Pablo Picasso, among others. Likewise, the work shows a strong and undoubtedly personal character, visible in the outline of the petals, the morphology of the fruits, and the multiple lines arranged in the background, which reveal Fengmian's calligraphic discipline during his training, thus creating a unique fusion between traditional Chinese aesthetics and European pictorial currents. Signed and stamped ‘???’ in the left margin. Size painting: 70 x 70 cm; Size with frame: 83 x 84 cmAttached is a certificate issued by Gerald Markowtz, grandson of the artist. Provenance:- Hong Kong private collection. 1977, Lin Fengmian fled to Hong Kong where he gave the work to a friend, in whose collection it remained for generations until its final sale.- Current private Spanish collection (to the present day).

Lot 1044: Lin Fengmian ‘Still life’ April 18, 2021- The MET. Asian Art Collection. Accession Number: 1986.267.375 ‘Gladioli’. Catalogue note:Lin Fengmian was born in Guandong province in the year 1900, and has a childhood marked by a traumatic event, the sale of his own mother into slavery. Shortly afterwards, a fortuitous chance event changed his life completely, as his lottery ticket won; with it, he travelled to Shanghai and later to France, thus receiving a complete artistic education, which marked his personal style. Over the years, and thanks to his constant work and undoubted talent for painting, he managed to make a name for himself on the international art scene, which was cut short during the Sino-Japanese war and the Cultural Revolution, for which he had to destroy a large part of his work and suffer a period of imprisonment. All the vicissitudes he suffered did not put an end to his passion for art, and that is why he left China in 1977 to settle with his family in Hong Kong, where his production did not cease, even attempting, on occasions, to recreate the first paintings he had to destroy. Lin Fengmian died in 1991 in Hong Kong at the age of 90. Notice to interested bidders. Please complete the premium registration in our auction room for this lot.

Maqbool Fida Husain (1915-2011)Untitled (Tearing Apart) signed 'Husain' lower left; signed 'Husain 91' versoacrylic on board, framed57.3 x 89.6cm (22 9/16 x 35 1/4in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, Dubai. Acquired from the artist.'My horses like lightning, cut across many horizons. Seldom their hooves are shown. They hop around the spaces. From the battlefield of 'Karbala' to Baukura terra cota, from the Chinese Tse pei Hung horse to St. Marco horse, from ornate armoured 'Duldul' to challenging white of 'Ashwamedh' .... the cavalcade of my horses is multidimensional.' (Husain, Tata Steel Publications, 1987, p. 83)Horses figure prominently in Husain's work. The reasons for this are likely to be varied, though Husain notes that one of his earliest influences comes from the procession to commemorate the Prophet's grandson which involved the carrying of an effigy of his horse through the streets. The manner in which these horses are painted is reminiscent of a puppet or wooden effigy, strengthening the link with the Islamic holiday of the prophet's grandson. Additionally, Husain had worked in a children's toy and furniture factory during the 1940s and it is possible that many of his horse paintings draw heavily on the manner of the construction of puppet horses. Husain was also heavily influenced by the terracotta horses he saw during his visit to China. Since their domestication, horses have been important subjects for art and religion and have helped build civilizations, no less so in Hinduism. Husain was fascinated with his own roots but also learning and assimilating other cultures as sources of inspiration. As such this painting exemplifies this wonderfully: the horse as a symbol of power and tradition, a part of Islamic culture, an influence from China, and painted in a style reminiscent of European Cubism. 'All forms of art are born from one's roots', perhaps Husain wished to explore as many artistic roots as possibleFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
