Chen Dayu, a master of Chinese contemporary painting, calligraphy, and seal carving, studied traditional and modern Chinese paintings before beginning his teaching career at art schools in Shanghai, Wuxi, and Nanjing. In this painting, his use of vibrant color and dramatic brushstrokes suggest his study with renowned Chinese artist Qi Baishi (1865-1957), and his acclaim of China’s “new era of prosperity” in 1980.
