On<br \/>\ndisplay at this exhibition are nearly 140 works; alongside the &#8220;Chromatic<br \/>\nColor,&#8221; &#8220;Achromatic<br \/>\nColor,&#8221; and &#8220;Dunhuang Frescoes&#8221; series are a number of snow landscapes and<br \/>\ncalligraphic pieces.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also<br \/>\nfeatured are &#8220;Hundred Flowers&#8221; and &#8220;Ink and Wash Vegetables&#8221; Hu created in 1958<br \/>\nand 1978 respectively.

She went on to study painting under Hu&#8217;s tutelage and thus had<br \/>\nthe opportunity to follow her mentor&#8217;s subsequent artistic career up close and<br \/>\npersonal. Collecting Hu&#8217;s works over the years has been her way to cherish Hu&#8217;s<br \/>\nmemory. And now she aspires to extend Hu&#8217;s artistic life by getting the world<br \/>\nto rediscover his works. To share her treasured aesthetic experience with the<br \/>\nyounger generation and hopefully with posterity, Li has<br \/>\nalso put together Hu&#8217;s lifetime of works onto the Internet (<a href=\"https:\/\/hukemin-portfolio.mystrikingly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/hukemin-portfolio.mystrikingly.com\/<\/a>).
