Born in Jiangsu province, <a href="http://www.asian-antiquites.com/the-master-collection/li-keran">Li Keran</a> studied oil painting in France during the 1930’s and then returned back to study traditional <a href="http://asian-antiquites.com/chinese_painting">Chinese Painting</a> alongside great masters such as <a href="http://www.asian-antiquites.com/the-master-collection/qi_baishi">Qi Baishi</a> and <a href="http://www.asian-antiquites.com/the-master-collection/huang_binhong">Huang Binhong</a>. Li took up several educational posts in different art institutes including the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1945. He developed a style which brought many western elements of painting into Chinese traditional art.<a href="http://asian-antiquites.com/the-master-collection/li-keran"> Li Keran</a> was best known for his landscapes which displayed strong vivid colors such as deep reds and turquoise together with western concepts of perspectives and a strong sense of contrast. Li’s brushwork is aggressive and intentionally crude. His calligraphy accommodates his art beautifully, bringing the work into a comfortable balance. The new elements Li introduced into traditional Chinese art are landmarks in the reform of art in China during the first half of the 20th century. <br />
