Its predecessor is "moss Mongolia", which is a painting group organized by Xunqin Pang, but it is soon seized. Xunqin Pang says,”I feel deeply distressed that the spirit of Chinese art and literature is decaying and corrupting, but my shallow knowledge and ability is not enough to pull the decadent a little. So I decide to gather some comrades to strive for the hope of making some contribution to the world together. This is the origin of the Storm Society.” The Storm Society is established in Nanjing in 1931, aiming at probing and developing China’s oil painting art. The main sponsors of the group are Xunqin Pang,Yide Ni , Jiyuan Wang , Zhentai Zhou , Ping Duan , Xian Zhang , Taiyang Yang , Qiuren Yang , Di Qiu , et al.

Modern Art 109
Modern Art 109 Fall 2018 Tu/Th 1:30-2:45 pm Kadema Hall 145 Professor: Elaine O'Brien, Ph.D. Office: Kadema Hall 190 Office Hours: T 6-7 PM, W 3-5 PM (and by appointment) [email protected] http://www.csus.edu/indiv/o/obriene/ https://twitter.com/eoarthistory Course description: This is a survey of avant-garde modern art from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. The first half of the course will focus on the art of Western Europe and the United States. In the second half, we consider case studies of modern art in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Taking a world perspective on Modern art, which was the first truly global visual language, we will see how the aesthetic of newness, originality, anti-academicism, and radical formal invention characteristic of avant-garde modernism was rooted in the universal societal transformation that was modernity: the rise to power of urban middle classes, secularism, positivism, faith in “progress,” individualism, and capitalism. Modern art was the product of the forces of modernization – industrialization, urbanization, colonialism – that transformed the entire world during the era we study. After defining “Modern” art and “Modernism,” the course begins with the Post Impressionism of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and proceeds through the modern movements of Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism: movements that fundamentally reinvented the vocabulary of visual art. The first half of the course concludes with American Abstract Expressionism in the World War II decade that saw the end of the Age of Europe.

[1] To the eighty-five works borrowed from France, the Shanghai Museum was able to add a single work from its own collection: an academic drawing of a seated male nude, probably dating from the early years of the nineteenth century (fig. 1). The drawing, long attributed to Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, has been in the possession of the museum since 1977, but it had never been shown by the institution before.

From the 1930s to 1940s, his output shifted from cosmopolitan Shanghai-based paintings to Guizhou Miao ethnic paintings to traditional Chinese and Art Deco-influenced industrial designs. Integrating historical context, Pang Xunqin’s biography, and stylistic analyses, this thesis interprets how the artist’s work transformed through particular social and political upheavals, including the Second Sino- Japanese War (1937-1945) and conflicts between vying political parties in China.

The landscape painting (shanshui hua) has a long history in China. Chinese painters of the past used landscape (shanshui) as a way to express themselves: their look on the environment (mainly natural) carried their entire cultural background, and it was heavily symbolic. There were many layers of possible interpretation of their works, depending on the viewer’s knowledge and understanding. In 1935, the Shanghai Chinese Painting Society1 organized two special issues for their journal, Chinese Painting Monthly, on the aesthetics of Chinese and Western landscape painting. Many prominent scholars and artists participated in this discussion. Among them, Huang Binhong, He Tianjian, Zheng Wuchang, Yu Jianhua, and Xie Haiyan wrote essays on Chinese landscape painting. Ni Yide, Chen Baoyi, Li Baoquan, and Lu Danlin focused on Western landscape painting. Through reviewing the origins, history, and evolution of Chinese landscape painting, they tried to find the similarities and differences between Chinese shanshui hua and Western landscape painting.2 Although the discussion at the time did not reach any common ground, its importance should not be overlooked. By the nineteenth century, along with the decline of the imperial examination system, the social structure that supported the Confucian class was abolished. Chinese landscape painting, which was regarded as the highest form of art by scholar- gentle-official painters for more than a thousand years, also lost its glory. It was not just a category of painting, however, but a reflection of the attitude towards nature, a symbol of Chinese culture. The discussion at the time focused on styles, formats, and techniques and the discussants tried to use some styles and techniques of Western painting for Figure 1.
