Lot Essay

The Songfeng huahui, or Pine Breeze Painting Society, was formed in 1925 by a small circle of members who were all related either to the imperial family or the court of the Qing dynasty. Mainly led by Pu Jin, the members gathered regularly to paint and exchange about the arts. Characterized by the freshness and meticulousness of the modern Gongbi style, artists such as Pu Quan, Pu Zuo, Pu Ru, Guan Heyong, Qi Jingxi and Qi Gong were part of the most emblematic figures of this elite group.
