Hsia Yan (b. 1932) - Living Room (oil on canvas, 1965)
The Dashing Muscovy Ducks Rushing through the Lotus Pond by Hsia Yang (夏陽). 2014. Acrylic and collage on canvas.
Hsia Yang, born in 1932, was mentored by Lee Chun-Shan, one of the pioneers of abstract painting in Taiwanese art, and went on to found the Ton Fan Group, alongside seven other artists.
In The Dashing Muscovy Ducks Rushing through the Lotus Pond, the lotus leaves are precisely contoured against the surface of the water. Hsia’s depiction of the pond, rendered in powdery opacity and devoid of reflection, projects the lotus leaves into the foreground. Without any framing objects, it appears as if the lotus pond could go on forever. In contrast to the solidity of the pond, Hsia's ducks are translucent and wispy, quivering with momentum.
