Original Description
Xu Beihong's Rooster And Hen (1937) epitomizes his mastery in blending traditional Chinese ink techniques with Western realism, creating a vivid depiction brimming with rustic vitality. The rooster stands tall with flamboyant plumage rendered in dynamic brushstrokes, while the hen crouches nearby, their contrasting postures pulsing with quiet tension. Executed during China's tumultuous wartime era, the work transcends mere naturalism—it embodies resilience, echoing Xu's lifelong mission to modernize Chinese art through anatomical precision and emotive force. As one of the 20th century's most influential painters, Xu elevated animal subjects into symbolic cultural statements; this piece, with its vigorous xieyi (freehand) strokes and restrained ink washes, remains a canonical example of his revolutionary synthesis.
For interior styling, Rooster And Hen commands attention as a focal point. Its monochrome intensity suits modern minimalist spaces—pair it with neutral-toned furniture like oak consoles or linen upholstery to let the artwork shine. Alternatively, amplify its earthy warmth in traditional settings by flanking it with Ming-style wooden cabinets or celadon vases. Optimal viewing requires a mid-size wall (the original is approximately 68×45cm), ideally hung at eye level in a study or dining area where its narrative energy can spark conversation. Soft, diffused lighting enhances the ink’s subtle gradations, while avoiding competing bold colors preserves its contemplative mood. For offices, it projects scholarly gravitas when paired with leather-bound books or brushed metal accents, bridging heritage and contemporary sophistication.
