Qu Lei Lei

The American art historian and critic Bernard Berenson famously declared that one of the essential elements in painting was what he called tactile values. By contrast, with the Renaissance arts he so much admired, Oriental painting he felt lacked that quality and as a result, as he put it, the arts of the Orient soon weary. What would he have thought of the work of Qu Lei Lei? Most probably he would have said that it was not Chinese, merely an attempt to imitate Western art. But were he alive today he died in 1959 he might see things differently. For Chinese art has undergone profound changes in recent decades, as Chinese artists have taken from Western art what they needed for their own purposes. This process is not new. It began soon after the Revolution of 1911, when artists of the Lingnan School heard about Western art in Japan and attempted, following the Japanese, to adapt their own tradition to take account of new forms and technique.
