Catalogue of exhibition of works by Lin Fengmian at the Hong Kong Museum of Art in 2007. Lin Fengmian studied art in France and founded The National Academy of Art at the age of 28. Through art education in the academy, he inspired new generations of modern Chinese artists. Lin exemplified an alternative way to integrate the traits of Western art and Chinese art in both his ink and oil paintings. However, his artistic career was full of bitter struggles as most of his artworks were destroyed and he was imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. In 1978, he settled in Hong Kong and dedicated his final years to the pursuit of his artistic endeavour. Lin Fengmian's chronology is provided in this catalogue.
