The Poetry of Flowers in Anna Hu’s Enchanted Lily Collection

Sunday, March 19

4PM – 4.30PM CET

Stand 145, MECC Maastricht

Anna Hu’s Enchanted Lily Collection draws inspiration from both East and West. Hu turned to the master of Chinese flower paintings, Zhang Daqian, (1899–1983), who captured the poetry and realism of flowers through every stage of their development. She has also always admired the traditional Chinese flower paintings of Yun Shouping (1633–1690), Qing Dynasty poet and artist, particularly the ink painting of the lily in his “Album of Imitating Antiquity.” On the other hand, Hu is also deeply influenced by the distinct details and soft shades of colors found in the watercolor Auratum Lilies by the American artist George Walter Dawson (1870–1938).
