Specialist note

These paintings are dedicated to Lu Hsien (1888-1960), also known as Zhuoqing. Lu held many key positions in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Labour and the Central Bank of the Republic of China before moving to Taiwan after 1949. Lu enjoyed painting and collecting and was very well-connected within the art, literati and political circles. Amongst his artist friends, Lu was especially close to Zhang Daqian and Yu Fei’an.
