Modern Chinese Paintings: The Reyes Collection in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Guan Liang from Guangdong province is a traditionally-trained painter specialising in opera figures. His style is characterised by the use of calligraphic ink line in conjunction with bold colour. This painting depicts a combat scene, which in Peking opera were always based on martial arts.
