Xu Beihong Net Worth

Background and career

Xu Beihong (Chinese: 徐悲鴻; Wade–Giles: Hsü Pei-hung; 19 July 1895 – 26 September 1953), also known as Ju Péon, was a Chinese painter.

He was primarily known for his Chinese ink paintings of horses and birds and was one of the first prominent Chinese artists of his time to articulate the need for artistic expressions, specifically in paving the origin for modern Chinese painting, that reflected a modern China at the beginning of the 20th century amongst choosing educated instructions that were ideally used from Western realism. He was also regarded as one of the first to create monumental oil paintings with epic Chinese themes – a show of his high proficiency in an essential Western art technique. He was one of the four pioneers of Chinese modern art who earned the title of "The Four Great Academy Presidents".
