摘要

cqvip:In 1 933, Xu Beihong went to the Jeu de Paume Museum in Paris to hold an exhibition of contemporary Chinese painting, which contributed to the upsurge of studying in France in the 1930s. Lyu Sibai (1905-1973) was one of the important students. In the 1 920s, Lyu Sibai went to France to study. When studying at National School of Fine Arts of Lyon, he chose Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898), a large-scale mural painter in Lyon with far-reaching influence in France, as his learning model. Through a large number of copies, he combined the ideal poetical scene of Chavannes with Oriental aesthetic appeal in his paintings.
