Yuehua He, 1959 | Figurative painter

Yuehua was born in Beijing, China.

Yuehua’s mother was an art teacher and she taught him how to draw.

He participated in art activities in school.

His dream was to enter the Academy of Fine Arts.

However, at that time, students were not allowed to go to college unless they were chosen by someone in the government.

After high school Yuehua went to the army.

In the army, there were not many opportunities to draw, but when the chance arose he drew what he saw in his surroundings.

Four years later, Yuehua left the army and entered the cinema and drafted movie posters.

Each movie poster was 2 meters x 7 meters long, and it usually took one to two days to finish painting.

During this time Yuehua was admitted to the Central Academy of Arts and Design Night University (renamed the Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts).

The Secretary to the Minister of Electronics Industry invited Yuehua to work professionally.

He worked in the State Council and the NPC Standing Committee from 1982 until 1987, after which he worked as the curator of the Beijing Museum of Art and Design.

Yuehua worked there until 2000 when he immigrated to the United States to become a full-time painter.

Member of Portrait Society of America, Member of Allied Artists of America, Inc., 1997-2000 Curator of Beijing design Art Museum.

Portrait art work was selected for Art exhibition New York in 2009.

Art work "travel" won the award for the advancement of American Art from Allied Artists of America in 2010.

Yuehua è nato a Pechino, in Cina.

La madre di Yuehua era un'insegnante d'arte e gli ha insegnato a disegnare.

Ha partecipato ad attività artistiche a scuola.

Il suo sogno era entrare all'Accademia di Belle Arti.

Tuttavia, a quel tempo, agli studenti non era permesso andare al college a meno che non fossero stati scelti da qualcuno nel governo.

Dopo il liceo Yuehua andò nell'esercito.

Nell'esercito non c'erano molte opportunità di disegnare, ma quando si presentava l'occasione disegnava ciò che vedeva nei dintorni.

Quattro anni dopo, Yuehua lasciò l'esercito ed entrò nel cinema e disegnò manifesti cinematografici.

Ogni poster del film era lungo 2 metri x 7 metri e di solito ci volevano uno o due giorni per finire di dipingere.

Durante questo periodo Yuehua è stato ammesso alla Central Academy of Arts and Design Night University (ribattezzata Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts).

Il segretario del ministro dell'industria elettronica ha invitato Yuehua a lavorare professionalmente.

Ha lavorato nel Consiglio di Stato e nel Comitato permanente dell'NPC dal 1982 al 1987, dopodiché ha lavorato come curatore del Museo di arte e design di Pechino.

Yuehua ha lavorato lì fino al 2000 quando è emigrato negli Stati Uniti per diventare un pittore a tempo pieno.

Claude Monet | Vétheuil, 1880

"I have painted the Seine throughout my life, at every hour, at every season...

I have never tired of it: for me the Seine is always new" - Claude Monet

Claude Monet | Vétheuil, 1880 | Sotheby's

The present work depicts Vétheuil, the small village situated sixty kilometres north of Paris on the riverbanks of the Seine, where the artist lived with his wife and children from 1878 until 1881.

Unlike Monet’s previous home of Argenteuil, Vétheuil was further along the Seine and thus slightly out of reach for Parisians escaping the city on a weekend.

As a result, both the village and surrounding countryside had remained largely untouched and the remote setting became the ideal vehicle for Monet’s increasing interest in painting nature en plein air.
