[Eight-panel Scroll of Thousand-mile Dragon Horses | Ink and Color Cast the Spirit of the Times]
This set inherits Beihong's masterful "bone-like" brushwork. The galloping horses, like the "Galloping Horses," evoke thunder and lightning on rice paper, their muscular forms infused with Western anatomy, creating a new realm of modern ink painting. The specially crafted rice paper undergoes a secret process of seven grinding cycles and eight polishing steps, with pine soot blended with glue, embodying the principle of "reaching for the vast and the exquisite" in Beihong's "Theory of Painting." The meticulous reproduction technique achieves the exacting standards of "divine horse study," with each horse honed through twenty years of sketching. Compared to more common saddle horse reproductions, these paintings embody the spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties and the Paris Academy's roots. Beyond capturing both form and spirit, these paintings are truly museum-quality works of paper, merging Eastern brushwork with Western form. They offer a glimpse into the true essence of innovation in the vein of "Jiufang Gao."
