Zhong Pai Mu (b. 1911 - 2004) Untitled, 1954
Est: RM2,000 - RM4,000
Contrasting man-made buildings and nature, the artist records his impressions of the changes in light and the atmospheric conditions. The vertical branches of the trees display his sensitivity to the beauty of lines. Emphasising feeling and mood, the scene is united by the use of lush green colour and swift brush strokes. Zhong Pai Mu studied at XinHua Art Academy in Shanghai and later moved to Nanjing to learn from the masterful Xu Beihong who at the time returned to China to lead the Art Academy at Central University. Upon graduation, Zhong returned to Ipoh and was invited by Kuo Ju Ping to teach oil painting in Penang.

Est: RM25,000 - RM40,000
ZHONG PAI MU b. Perak, 1911 PORTRAIT OF A GIRL, 1945 Signed and dated 'Paimu 1945' (lower left) Oil on canvas laid on board 48cm x 41cm Making a first appearance at Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers auction, pioneer artist Zhong Pai Mu is represented with a rare oil painting of an adolescent girl illustrated in an Impressionist manner. The use of tanned palette on her skin and the outlines of her features suggest that she hails from the Southeast Asia region. Her braided pigtail hairstyle decorated with ribbons conveys innocence. The ambiguity of her attire leaves a puzzle for the viewer in determining her true origins. Zhong Pai Mu studied at Xin Hua Art Academy in Shanghai and later moved to Nanjing to learn from the masterful Xu Beihong whom at the time returned to China to lead the Art Academy at Central University. Upon graduation, Zhong returned to Ipoh and was invited by Kuo Ju Ping to teach oil painting in Penang. He then moved to Singapore and taught Western art at NAFA for a few years before migrating to Hong Kong. During his time in Singapore, he had also offered guidance to painter Fung Yow Chork.
