PROPERTY PREVIOUSLY FROM THE COLLECTION OF AN HO (LOTS 1321-1340)Born into an educated family in Beijing, An Ho (An He, 1927-2017) first determined to be an artist at the age of 7. Her mother was a painter of flowers, and An Ho learned calligraphy from a family friend. Her path as an artist was dramatically impacted when she became the student of Pu Ru (1896-1963) in 1944 when she was 16. She continued to study with him for 17 years. As Pu Ru considered it imperative that she develop her knowledge and character broadly in order to be an accomplished painter, he also instructed her in Chinese history, literature and philosophy. Throughout this unique student-teacher relationship, Pu Ru gifted An Ho numerous paintings and calligraphy. In addition, An Ho kept a substantial number of sketches, practice works and drafts of her teacher’s works. This collection provides a tremendous opportunity to witness Pu Ru as a mentor and art educator.
