 hen Danqing (1953 Shanghai) is one of the country's best-known realist painters. His series of paintings of Tibet in the 1980s helped catapult him to fame in China. He moved to New York in 1982. He then returned to teach, paint and write in Beijing since 2000, where he has been known as a vocal critic of higher education in China. His portraits are sharp, deep and realistic portrayals, often of young women. Some of his works sold at auction in 2006 for $1 million. |
