Original Description
Xu Beihong's Rooster And Hen exemplifies his masterful fusion of Chinese ink traditions with Western realism—a hallmark of early 20th-century Chinese art reform. Painted during Xu's advocacy for "artistic revolution," the work captures a spirited rooster mid-crow beside a demure hen, their dynamic rendered through bold ink strokes and delicate washes. The rooster's arched neck and open beak seem to echo across rice paper, embodying Xu's belief in art as a vehicle for national vitality. As Director of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Xu pioneered this East-West synthesis, making Rooster And Hen historically significant—not merely as animal painting but as cultural manifesto. The contrast between the rooster's vigorous contours and the hen's softer plumage showcases his signature "boneless" technique (mogu fa), elevating vernacular subjects to monumental status.
For contemporary spaces, this masterpiece commands attention best against muted backdrops—think slate-gray walls or minimalist oak paneling—allowing its ink gradients to resonate. Its vertical composition suits narrow hallways or above sideboards, while the 68×33cm scroll format ensures adaptability. Pair with raw-edged wooden furniture to complement the artwork's organic energy, or flank with bronze Tang-style lamps for cultural cohesion. In offices, position opposite large windows where morning light animates the rooster's crowing posture, metaphorically aligning with professional ambition. A color palette of celadon greens or oxidized bronzes in surrounding decor will harmonize with the ink's subtle undertones, while avoiding competing reds or blacks. For collectors, museum-grade UV glass preservation permits installation even in sunlit sitting rooms without compromising this national treasure's longevity.
