Qi Baishi, a prominent Chinese artist of the 20th century, once said, "Painting is a course of loneliness."
He valued people with whom he could enjoy exchanges on art and life, and made some lifelong friends. He taught his students art techniques and cultivated them in terms of cultural accumulation and morality, and advised them on their career paths.
Qi set a good example of maintaining such relations with Wang Xuetao and Yu Fei'an, two of his most accomplished disciples.
Dozens of ink-color paintings by the trio are now on display at the Beijing Fine Art Academy, where they all once worked as resident painters. It's a celebration of their closeness and mutual understanding, as well as their contribution to the flower-and-bird genre of classic Chinese painting.
