Which work of Xu is the most famous?

194 1 During the second Changsha Battle in autumn. In this painting, Xu Beihong uses rich and unrestrained pen and ink to outline the turning points such as the head, neck, chest and legs, and uses a dry pen to sweep out the mane tail, which changes naturally. The straight line of the horse's leg is thin and powerful, like a steel knife, penetrating the back of the paper, while the arc of the abdomen, buttocks and mane tail is very elastic and dynamic. On the whole, the front of the picture is big and the back is small, with a strong sense of perspective, and the legs and horse's head stretching forward have a strong impact, which seems to break through the picture.

Tian Heng 500 scholar

This painting "Tian Heng 500 Scholars" is a famous work by Xu Beihong. The story comes from Biography of Historical Records and Tian Yan. Tian Heng was the old royal family of Qi at the end of Qin Dynasty, and became the king of Qi after Tian Xian. After Liu Bang wiped out the wolves, Tian Heng and his 500 strong men fled to an island. Liu Bang heard that Tian Heng won the hearts of the people and was afraid of trouble in the future, so he sent messengers to pardon Tian Heng's sin and recall him. It is precisely because of Tian Heng and others' "high morality" and "wealth can't be lewd and power can't be bent" that they deliberately chose the dramatic scene of Tian Heng's farewell to 500 strong men to express it.

Wounded lion

Created in 1938, when the Japanese invaders occupied most of China, they were devastated and devastated, and Xu Beihong was furious. The wounded lion he painted, looking back, is of infinite significance. He wrote an inscription on the painting: "At the time of Kong Ji's national disaster, he lived alone with Mr. Lin Ruo in Chongqing and did not want to write this." It shows the author's patriotic thought and his concern for the country and the people. This is a painting that combines realism and romanticism. China is known as the "sleeping lion" in the East. Japanese imperialism occupied most of the land in the northeast of China, and the "sleeping lion" became a wounded lion. The injured lion glared and looked unbearable, ready to fight and struggle, which contained strength and fortitude.

During this period, he created many oil paintings, but the most important achievement is this Chinese painting "Jade Man Moves Mountains". Its story is based on a myth and legend of Liezi Tang Wen.
