Portrait of a Woman (Translation)
女子肖像 近現代 呂建軍 油畫 (Primary Title)
Lu Jianjun 呂建軍, Chinese, born 1960 (Artist)
Lu Jianjun is a distinctive and introverted artist in the Chinese neoclassical movement, who is devoted to portraiture and genre painting on canvas. Portrait of a Woman, a work created one year after he arrived in San Francisco, depicts a rural woman from southern China. Dutch and Flemish influence is noticeable in the realistic form, textured fabric, multicolored earrings, and the woman’s illuminated face against a dark background. The painting reveals the artist’s masterful oil painting techniques and his compassion for humanity.
