| Running from tomorrow (December 28) until March 9, 2008 at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, "An Inheritance of Virtuosity: Donated Chinese Paintings of Ho Chat-yuen" features more than 60 works, which not only provide a comprehensive picture of Ho's artistic career over half a century, but also show the Lingnan spirit of "synthesising the East with the West and blending the old with the new". Sketching from life is much prized by the Lingnan School, and Ho stressed imbuing his feelings into what he painted. Pictured is a sketch on display, "Flame of the Forest and Cicada". |
